Wedding Photographer Lancashire

Pre Wedding Photos Why have a pre wedding shoot before your wedding day? Many wonder what the point is with their wedding on the horizon. Many couples book me as their wedding photographer well in advance - months, if not years before the big day. Most couples who book me for a pre wedding shoot also ask me to photograph their wedding so It's always nice to talk through the final details with a couple in person. Get Comfortable in Front of the Camera For many couples, having their photo taken can feel awkward and uncomfortable. I totally get it! I feel the same about having...

Wedding Photography Packages The first thing people usually ask me when they get in touch is what are my prices and packages. Obviously a very important part of booking a wedding photographer! My main package is a full day package. 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:...

Why Hire a Professional? | Evening Wedding Photography Why hire a professional photographer when you can save some money on your wedding day? There is a huge importance in hiring a professional photographer for your wedding. There are often many low light situations and quickly-changing lighting, many occurring during the evening reception. I've been asked to take photos for couples who had previously been let down by their own photographer. This is something I feel very passionately about!With my camera, I artistically capture the beauty in evening photography where a regular camera or phone...

Wedding Day Emotions | Emotional Wedding Photography One of the most beautiful parts of working as a Wedding Photographer is witnessing the emotions that come with the day. The secret little smile between a bride and groom - the bridesmaid having the time of her life on the dance floor - the wedding guest shedding a tear during speeches - the Father of the Bride seeing his little girl for the first time dressed as a beautiful bride. Each and every emotion is such a pleasure to capture, a little insight into the deeper feelings of the day. Some weddings are bursting with emotions, and I'm spoiled...

Lewi & Izzie | The Lodge Mesnes Park Wow! Where do I start with this one?! Meet the gorgeous Izzie and Lewi. They were married at The Lodge at Mesnes Park, Wigan. Their wedding reception took place at Mawdesley Village Hall, West Lancashire. The day started out with a Met Office forecast of thunderstorms and incoming torrential rain. Just in time for the formal group photos! I confess, I very rarely worry about the weather as I can work with some rain but this was looking a bit grim. Instead of storms we were given dry skies and beautiful light to work with - allowing us to take the family...

Nicola & Dave | West Tower Wedding Photographer The gorgeous Nicola and Dave were married a few days ago at West Tower in Ormskirk, Lancashire. We were at one venue for the entire day. This is always so refreshing! It allows for a relaxed atmosphere and along with the glorious sunshine the mood couldn't have been brighter! Their guests were all very friendly and a pleasure to be around, and it was clear how much they love the couple. Nicola and Dave have waited a long time for this moment. They had to postpone three times due to Covid, which just made the day that much sweeter! There...

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....

Natural Wedding Photography The biggest compliment I've ever had as a wedding photographer is to be called a ninja! This has been mentioned to me by at least three different couples over the many years I've been shooting weddings. They said I was so discreet when capturing the day, they hardly noticed I was there. This is honestly the biggest compliment! A wedding day is all about the bride and groom, and shouldn't be about the photographer. By allowing a wedding to flow naturally and by being that fly on the wall for a majority of the day, you can capture a wedding day as it happens. These natural...

There's something so incredibly special about being asked to photograph a wedding for a friend, and it's a rare treat for me!
