Nicola & Dave | Spring Pre Wedding Photography Preston
Meet the gorgeous Nicola and Dave! We met up for their spring pre wedding shoot at Avenham Park in Preston, Lancashire. This couple are clearly in love, making my job so easy! They were lovely and relaxed, and both have a great sense of humour making the shoot fun. They actually booked me before Covid started, and like so many couples, they have had to postpone. This really adds to the anticipation and excitement of their wedding coming up this weekend.
During the shoot we walked around the park picking out little spots of nice light....
Lynne Family Shoot | Loweswater Family Photographer Cumbria
Meet Lynne and her wonderful family! I had the pleasure of recently photographing this gorgeous group at the stunning location of Loweswater in Cumbria, the Lake District. The weather was looking incredibly ominous the whole drive there as heavy clouds draped the hillsides, but thankfully Cumbria didn't let us down and the sun actually came out during the session which just enhanced the beauty around us. We took a walk along the lake, soaking in the beautiful golden fields and hillside in this relaxed country styled shoot. It was the perfect...
Steph & Andy | Wedding Photographer Mirfield
This beautiful nature loving pair were married a few days ago in Mirfield, West Yorkshire. The gorgeous Steph and Andy are very genuine and kind, and were an absolute pleasure to photograph and to be with. Their day was lovely and relaxed, and we were fortunate enough to get some stunning weather - including bride and groom portraits in sunshine with rain which created some magic for their photos! Steph and Andy had clearly put a lot of thought and effort into their planning and decorations, and the wedding had a romantic rustic feel to it which...
Amy & Jonathan | London Wedding Photographer Kew Gardens
Meet the stunning Amy and Jonathan! They were married a few days ago in London, spending their reception in the spectacular Kew Gardens . Their day was very relaxed, without a lot of the usual formalities of speeches and a first dance which was lovely to see them having the wedding of their dreams. It was such a wonderful atmosphere and the guests were able to enjoy beautiful music and wander around the grounds of Kew Gardens at their leisure in the evening, taking in all of the flowers and impressive buildings.
The highlight...
Centre Parcs Family Photography Shoot | Whinfell Forest Penrith
I was asked to join this gorgeous family for a photo shoot in Centre Parcs, Whinfell Forest in Penrith. The family all range from ages 11 up to almost 90, and it was such a special occasion for them. They had never stayed in the same place at the same time before and I was hired to capture some photos of them together as they walked over to the Lakeside Inn to have a meal. Elaine was after more natural photos, as well as a few posed shots. The weather really couldn't have been more beautiful on the day! It was evening and the sun was shining...
Carita & David | Wedding Photographer Mill Forge Gretna Green
Meet Carita, David and their gorgeous little family! They eloped to the Mill Forge in Gretna Green, Scotland. I'm so excited to share a few photos from their intimate wedding.
The sun was shining through the blossoms on the trees on this warm Spring day. Carita loves blossom trees so they were the perfect backdrop for some photos. The mood of the day was very relaxed and we had a great time - including playing in the children's playground! The whole family were such a pleasure to photograph, and lovely to be around but the kids...
Natural Moments | Documentary Wedding Photographer Lancashire
Sometimes the light at a wedding is just right, and a magical moment happens right before your eyes. The photos can end up looking just like a painting, and the result is magic. No Photoshop necessary. One of these favourite moments was a photo of this gorgeous little girl who was grabbing on her Mummy's wedding dress. A beam of light was on her face. I bent down to take the shot, and that angle was just right. It looks magical! I love hearing what others think of this photo. They see a daughter dreaming of one day becoming a bride....
Tom & Dee | Eaves Hall Wedding Photography Clitheroe
The gorgeous Dee and Tom were married at the beautiful Eaves Hall in Clitheroe, Lancashire. I first met Dee and Tom a few weeks before the wedding to discuss some of the final details for their day, and I knew immediately that they were going to be one of those fun couples who were going to be an absolute joy to join for on their big day.
On the day of the wedding the guests started to enter the ceremony room at Eaves Hall and they were all smiling and laughing. That's always a very good sign of what's to come! Dee had put a lot of thought...
New to Instagram! | Karli Harrison Photography
I have finally taken the leap over from Facebook to join Instagram with a business profile! I am going to be sharing some favourite photos from lots of the gorgeous couples I've had the pleasure of photographing in the past, as well as my lovely new couples to come.
I've been able to capture so many beautiful weddings in some stunning locations including both Italy and Spain, as well as closer to home in the equally beautiful Scotland, Wales and England. Going back over these images to update my new Instagram account has been so much fun remembering...
Worried About Rain On Your Wedding Day? | Wedding Photographer UK
Most couples book their wedding months, if not years, in advance to the big day. The British weather is certainly unpredictable (don't we all know it!) and whatever the time of year, rain is always a possibility. It's often a big worry on a bride's mind.
A few tips that can help with your pre-wedding weather jitters:
Ensure you have some umbrellas to hand. It may seem obvious, but I always carry around some large cream umbrellas in the boot of my car, just in case. It's one less thing for brides to think about, and in actual...
