Top 20 Favourite Wedding Photos of 2013 Wow, what a year 2013 was! It was certainly my busiest yet, and it was jam packed with so many gorgeous weddings, engagement and lifestyle photo shoots. I feel incredibly blessed to be doing what I love for a job, and each year just gets busier! Narrowing down so many wonderful, and special moments to just a few photographs to sum up a whole year is incredibly difficult. I worked with lots of wonderful people, and each and every wedding was unique. There were simply too many weddings to share photos from each, so here are just a few personal favourite...

The third location I'd like to mention in my wedding venue section of my website is the incredible Kew Gardens.  Located in London, Kew Royal Botanic Gardens is such an incredible location to have a wedding. It is a massive lush garden, full of all sorts of stunning trees, bushes and flowers. Kew offers a number of different buildings to get married and have a wedding reception, from conservatories to stunning buildings. I can't go on about it enough, it is a beautiful place to work and a true inspiration for London wedding photographers alike. For the bridal portraits of the wedding I shot...

The second wedding venue I'd like to mention on this locations section of my website is the stunning Inglewood Manor, which was one of the most beautiful venues I've had the pleasure of working at so far. It's located near Chester, in Cheshire. It's a gorgeous Tudor style manor house was built around 1860, and cost a grand total of £7,500. Set on lush grounds, the beautiful green grass, trees, gates and pond make for a perfect location for wedding photography. I just love venues such as this one, as it makes it so much easier to be creative, as you have a lot of things around you to inspire you. It...

I spend most of my time working as a wedding photographer, travelling all over the UK. But as many wedding photographers find, weddings seem to go through patches where you have loads together, then nothing for a few weeks or sometimes months. Usually in these quieter periods I get enquiries for Lifestyle family shoots and newborn sessions and I love it! It's such a refreshing change. I am still doing what I love, but mixing it up a bit. My usual style for a lifestyle shoot is to take kids to a park and let them run around, laugh, and play. But obviously with a newborn session, taking the photographs...

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...

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...

Built in 1891, the stunning Hillbark Hotel  is located in the Wirral and is a truly spectacular wedding venue. I was there a few months ago as a second wedding cinematographer for the day. I am incredibly excited to be going back again soon, but this time working as a wedding photographer which is my passion. Having worked at the Hillbark before, I know what to expect, a fantastic venue located on beautiful parkland, and the staff are a true pleasure to be around. The wedding was a beautiful one, and the weather was just about on our side until it started to rain and then thunder. Thankfully...

I had the pleasure of working as Claire and Trevor's wedding photographer for the day. It was one filled with special touches that made it truly unique. I just love weddings like theirs! It makes the occasion so personal for the couple, and definitely more memorable for all of the guests. At the very start of the day while Claire was getting ready,  she was shown into a bedroom where a collection of gifts had been laid out on the bed for her. As soon as she saw the stuffed monkey called Mojo, the excitement and surprise on her face was clear to see!!  Mojo and Claire go way back to when Claire...

I met up with the lovely Mandy and Jamie  for their pre wedding photography session at a scenic spot in Lancaster. The couple are soon going to have their wedding at the stunning West Tower, which they are obviously excited about! The evening I met up with Mandy and Jamie, it was going dark, so there was very little time to capture their pictures. We went for a walk along a gorgeous river, and through some fields where I ended up laying flat on the ground shooting through the grass, which I love to do as it creatives such an interesting perspective. Even though it was going dark, there was a nice...
