Lake District Wedding Photography, Linthwaite House Hotel The 4th of June was the perfect day. It’s funny how looking back on it, it seemed like a dream. Trish and Rich chose the Linthwaite House Hotel in Cumbria to get married, and they couldn’t have chosen better! It’s a beautiful hotel with a stunning view and grounds. I first had a little taster of what the venue would be like when I met the couple for their engagement shoot, and I could see through the rain that it is a beautiful location for wedding photography. Thick woods, a little lake, hills in the distance. I knew it was going...

Lancashire Country House Hotel Wedding Photography A few weeks ago I had the pleasure of capturing Laura and Michael's wedding photography at Higher Trapp Country House Hotel in Burnley, Lancashire. The day was a lovely one, and even though the sun wasn't shining we all still had a beautiful day. It was a dry day, which allowed us to get some  pictures outside in the gardens of the Country House Hotel. I had never had the privilege of shooting wedding photography at this particular venue before, and I was impressed with the gorgeous bridal suite. The large four poster bed was a perfect setting...

I had previously met up with Sandy and Jon twice before their wedding day, so when the big day arrived, it felt like we were friends. This makes it more enjoyable for all involved on the wedding day, as they feel comfortable with me, so are more likely to relax in front of the camera. Or even forget I'm there! They are a lovely couple. When you first meet them, you can instantly see how in love they are. I love this, as it makes it a dream to capture their wedding photography for them! Their wedding reception took place at the stunning West Tower wedding venue. I have had the pleasure of working...

Kew Gardens Wedding Photography / Videography - London A few months ago I had the pleasure of working as second videographer at a wedding in London, Kew Gardens It was an amazing experience! Besides shooting the wedding in such a gorgeous venue at Kew Gardens, we ended up riding a golf cart around the gardens for the couples wedding photography / videography portraits before the light went. We managed to get some stunning footage before it went dark, much to our relief. The gardens are stunning, I hope to go back and enjoy them properly some day when I'll have more time to explore the grounds....

Comparison is the thief of joy. We read about it on the internet... on Facebook, Twitter, Pinterest. It's one of those little motivational sayings you see from time to time. I can't be alone in saying that every so often I come across work by a wedding photographer and I am in awe, but at the same time I am left feeling completely and utterly rubbish. Thankfully this doesn't  happen much and I'm usually inspired and motivated by what I see. But when the negative mood hits, it can certainly knock my confidence. Another saying I have come across is that 'the only photographer you should compare...

I had the pleasure of meeting up with Vicky and Ramin to capture their pre wedding photography for them. Vicky is from London, a place that I love to work! I've had the pleasure of working as a wedding photographer a few times in London so far, and I loved every minute! I also worked along side a couple of London wedding photographers when I was making wedding films, and watching them do their job was an invaluable experience for me. It's so exciting to be able to capture such a special day for people, and to be able to travel around the country in the process just adds to the pleasure. The...

One thing I learned quickly about working as a wedding photographer is that you have to expect the unexpected on a wedding day. Equipment can really help you in tricky situations, and having a decent bag to protect your gear and carry it around is essential. Most bags I’ve seen are very manly looking, and I was after a beautiful bag that looked more like a handbag, one that I could wear over my shoulder or with the longer shoulder strap to have easy access to extra lenses. Enter the wonderful world of Epiphanie bags from the USA.  Not only are they gorgeous to look at, they are padded inside...

Julie and Ward's day was a bit of a special one. I was asked to join up with them for a wedding photography shoot, as unfortunately their wedding photos provided by another photographer weren't quite what they'd hoped for. It was a true pleasure to take their "wedding" photographs for them, although at first it felt a little strange, knowing there wasn't going to be an actual wedding on that day! But I soon got into it, and not having any time restraints really helped us all relax and enjoy ourselves. Julie is one of those people that you instantly warm to. She's caring, kind, beautiful and a wonderful...

It is with much excitement (and a bit of disbelief) that I write this little blog post to announce that I have had the honour of winning The Wedding Community’s competition ‘Picture of the Month’. When my picture was chosen as ‘Picture of the Day’ I never thought that I’d win the competition that followed. I was up against some stunning shots. So when I received an email at 12:04pm (yes, how sad is it that the competition closed at 12:00pm, and I recall the email was at 12:04 exact) I got quite a shock!! It was a lovely and unexpected surprise. I just want to say a massive thank...

Liverpool Wedding Photography - Suites Hotel Jemma and Keith’s wedding day took place at the Suites Hotel Knowsley in Liverpool. The day was a beautiful one and everyone was lovely, including the staff! The only thing that didn’t quite go to plan was the weather!! But despite this, it seemed to work in our favour. We used their beautiful bridal suite for the couples portraits, and got some pictures that we would have missed out on if the day had been a dry one. That’s one thing I love about weddings, sometimes what first appears to be a disadvantage can actually turn out in your favour....
