2015 - Beautiful Brides, A Bump & My New Baby Boy!
Wow, what a year! Some of you may have noticed that I've been a bit quiet lately on the blogging front. All my couples this year have known that my Husband and I were expecting our second child this whole wedding season. After an amazing year full of so many lovely couples, I am pleased to announce that our son arrived (in a hurry!) this September. He is doing very well. He's such a sweet and handsome chilled out little chap. Much like his Daddy!
This year has been such a joy, and to meet so many kind and wonderful people is, as always,...
Gemma & Michael | Pre Wedding Photographer Preston
Meet Gemma and Michael! I had the pleasure of photographing this lovely couple the other day for their pre wedding shoot. The day was incredibly wet, but we had a break in the rain for their shoot which was ideal. We had a lovely chat about all of their plans and how they've come together.
I always recommend a pre wedding shoot for couples, as it helps them relax and see how it will feel to have their bride and groom portraits on their wedding day. Always keeping posing to a minimum, you can get lost in each others company and have a giggle...
Melissa & Stuart | Wedding Photographer Eaves Hall Lancashire
This was one of those weddings. The kind where when you turn up the bridesmaids are dancing around the room, everyone is laughing and having a brilliant time- and you just know there is much more to come! From start to finish it was a true joy to join Melissa and Stuart for their lovely wedding at Eaves Hall, Lancashire. The beautiful theme of white was classic and classy, and suited the venue perfectly. There were some interesting personal touches too such as the fire performers they had to greet the evening guests.

Suzi & John | Stanley House Wedding Photographer
The beautiful Suzi and John chose to celebrate their wedding day at the stunning venue Stanley House Hotel in Mellor, Lancashire. It was a lovely day from start to finish, despite the weather not quite cooperating with us it certainly didn't ruin the happy and relaxed atmosphere of the wedding. Suzi had clearly put much thought into the little details, and it certainly paid off as the whole theme was classy and elegant from start to finish. They were such a pleasure to work with, so happy and clearly in love it was a true joy to capture their...
Laura & Mark | The Alma Inn Wedding Photographer Lancashire
The gorgeous Laura and Mark got married at The Alma Inn in Laneshaw Bridge, Lancashire. It's a beautiful little venue for those wanting an intimate wedding with friends and family. There's always something so special about having a wedding in one location, the atmosphere is always relaxed and happy, as all the guests get to stay in one beautiful location all day.
The wedding was stunningly sunny from start to finish, one of my favourite moments was when we went for a stroll along the lane into a field during golden hour. It was perfect!...
Sally & Sean | Sparth House Hotel Wedding Photography Teaser
I joined the lovely Sally and Sean for their stunning wedding last weekend at Sparth House in Clayton-le-Moors, Lancashire. The hotel is Georgian architecture and set in its own grounds, but the interior is beautifully modern and classy which is perfect for a wedding. The day included some stunning and interesting details, starting with Sally's beautiful wedding dress right down to the table decorations provided by the talented Floral Design.
It was a true pleasure to join Sally and Sean and their gorgeously cute boys, all five...
Lisa & Jon | Stanley House Wedding Photography Lancashire
Their day was a beautiful one. Set in the stunning location of Stanley House in Mellor, Lancashire, we were greeted with beautiful sunshine for the entire day. The wedding was filled with lots of little personal touches made by Lisa herself, and was a true pleasure to photograph all her hard work!
It was lovely being in the company of Jon and Lisa for the day, and I'd like to say a massive 'thank you' to them, they were up to wading into a field of long grass with me. I know it was no easy task with Lisa's amazing heals! Thankfully...
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...
Wedding Photography on USB | Lancashire Wedding Photography
It's time for change. Having always used discs to present couples with their wedding images, it is with much excitement that I announce that all wedding photographs I provide will now come on USB in a beautiful presentation case. I've finally taken the plunge, after a couple of recent disc problems, it gave me that extra push I needed to try something new. Besides looking nicer and more modern, they are said to be more reliable, which is incredibly important when providing precious memories for my couples. The last thing I'd want is for their...
Picture of the Day | The Wedding Community
I was recently contacted by both David and Kim of The Wedding Community, asking if I would be happy for them to use one of my photos of the gorgeous bride Amelia from her wedding last year at the stunning Mitton Hall. I could hardly say no! After laying low for a year after winning Picture of the Year 2012, I'm once again back on for Picture of the Month for January 2014.
This picture was featured Monday the 13th, and is of Amelia having her hair touched up by her bridesmaid and the mother of the bride. It was quite a dull day, so we did a number...
