Most couples prefer to have someone cover photography from bride prep (sometimes groom prep too if he's nearby!) the ceremony, wedding breakfast and the evening reception until just after the First Dance. I do get variations on this package though which is why I'm always happy to tailor a package to suit each couple. Some brides and grooms have requested:...

Is Wedding Photography Hard? Many people assume that wedding photographers show up on a wedding day, stand around and take photographs and that's their job. Simple! The truth?

We work on our website - blogging, adding...

Katy & Andrew | Wedding Photographer Castle Green Hotel Andrew and Katy were married a few days ago at the beautiful Castle Green Hotel located in Kendal, in the Lake District. It was such a perfect day for them, the sun was shining which provided ideal conditions for all their guests to relax in the warm sunshine outside during the wonderfully chilled day.

Their wedding was shared with some close friends and family, and included some personal touches such as the Scottish theme, and their dog Bill (who is a local legend) dressed in a suit jacket complete with button hole!

Emily & Ross | Waterhead Hotel Wedding Photographer The gorgeous Emily and Ross were married at the Waterhead Hotel on the edge of Lake Coniston, Cumbria. It was such a beautiful day from start to finish, and although the weather was typically Cumbrian we had the perfect two hour window of sunshine for the photos before it started to pour down again along with thunder and lightening. We couldn't have wished for a better outcome with the weather as Emily had set up some lawn games outside for their guests to enjoy, including tandem space hoppers to use for a race! It was clear how much...
