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...

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....

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...

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....

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...

Northop Hall Wedding Photography I ended up joining Claire and Roger a bit last minute, but it was a decision that I certainly didn’t regret!! From the very start of the day, both Claire and Roger were lovely to be around, and the general mood of the wedding was a fantastic one. I first met Claire in the bridal suite at Northop Hall, North Wales where she was getting ready, and she was one of the most chilled out and happy brides that I’ve ever met!! From the moment I walked in the room, I got a bit excited. All of the little details from the day were gorgeous, and I couldn’t wait to photograph...

Liverpool Wedding Photography Sefton Park, Alicia Hotel I had the pleasure of joining Leigh and Matthew as their wedding photographer a few weeks ago for their beautiful day at Slicia Hotel, Sefton Park in Liverpool. Leigh had mentioned that she wanted natural pictures, which is right up my street! There is nothing I love more than shooting a wedding from the background, capturing moments in a more photo journalistic style as it makes for beautifully natural pictures. I don't mind doing the odd posed picture at a wedding, after all, it is about what the couple want. But I do admit that I prefer...

Cumbria Wedding Photography A few weeks ago I had the pleasure of working as Chris and Kelly's wedding photographer in the gorgeous Abbey House Hotel in Barrow-in-furness, Cumbria. The day was an emotional one, just one look at groom Chris as Kelly walked up the aisle, and you could see how moved he was to see his bride. I love looking at the groom when all other eyes are on the bride, the emotion is truly beautiful! Kelly was the epitome of the radiant bride, she was beaming throughout the whole day. It was no wonder Chris looked so moved! It's little moments like this that still pull at my heart,...

One thing couples want to see when checking out wedding photographers is a portfolio. Many people are happy to view this online, and in this modern society it's easy, quick and convenient. But some people prefer to see albums in front of them, and I have to say, it's amazing viewing photographs in print. They truly come to life on the pages of an album. I have a couple of albums that I take along with me to potential client meetings. One is simply meant as a portfolio of my best images from last year's weddings, and the other one is a sample of the albums available to my clients if they are wanting...

Shropshire Wedding Photography, Rowton Castle This was a wedding that I was looking forward to for a long time. When I heard that it was going to be taking place in the stunning Rowton Castle, I got very excited. Maybe because the word castle brings out my childhood fantasies. Maybe because David and Helen are a lovely couple, and that really does make the world of difference. A few weeks before the wedding, I received a message from Helen, saying that she has seen the work from my recent weddings, and that she was so pleased that I was going to be doing her photos for her. This just sums up the type...
