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...
Mel & Jay | Wedding Photographer Best Western Garstang
Meet the gorgeous Mel and Jay! There's something so incredibly special about being asked to photograph a wedding for a friend, and it's a rare treat for me! Mel and Jay wanted their wedding to reflect them- a few wonderful highlights hinting at their personalities were the pie and chips as the wedding meal, the pizza van and the wedding reception itself at the Best Western in Garstang. It was beautifully decorated with lots of twinkling lights giving it a perfect rustic and classic feel. They had 150 guests for the wedding breakfast...
Bartle Hall Wedding Photographer Preston
The beautiful Bartle Hall in Preston, Lancashire is a wonderful award winning wedding venue perfect for any North West wedding day. Surrounded by the Lancashire countryside, Bartle Hall has its own grounds that guests are able to enjoy and explore. The landscaped gardens and woodland provide a lovely backdrop for the bride and groom photos on the day. Even with a bit of gentle rain the shelter of the trees provides an area for outdoor photographs and a natural feel for any wedding.
A four poster bed, free standing bath, many mirrors and windows are just...
Chris & Emily | Bashall Barn Wedding Photographer Clitheroe
Where can I possibly start with this one? The gorgeous Emily and Chris were married at Bashall Barn in Clitheroe, Lancashire. The venue is a rustic building that is also part of a shop, cafe, working dairy farm and wedding venue that overlooks perfect countryside.
Emily and Chris are a lovely relaxed couple who were such a joy to work with. They were up for heading out into fields for some bride and groom portraits (twice) and also for standing in the middle of the cow barn... much to the amusement of the cows! The photos we were...
Natural Moments | Documentary Wedding Photographer Lancashire
Sometimes the light at a wedding is just right, and a magical moment happens right before your eyes. The photos can end up looking just like a painting, and the result is magic. No Photoshop necessary. One of these favourite moments was a photo of this gorgeous little girl who was grabbing on her Mummy's wedding dress. A beam of light was on her face. I bent down to take the shot, and that angle was just right. It looks magical! I love hearing what others think of this photo. They see a daughter dreaming of one day becoming a bride....
Tom & Dee | Eaves Hall Wedding Photography Clitheroe
The gorgeous Dee and Tom were married at the beautiful Eaves Hall in Clitheroe, Lancashire. I first met Dee and Tom a few weeks before the wedding to discuss some of the final details for their day, and I knew immediately that they were going to be one of those fun couples who were going to be an absolute joy to join for on their big day.
On the day of the wedding the guests started to enter the ceremony room at Eaves Hall and they were all smiling and laughing. That's always a very good sign of what's to come! Dee had put a lot of thought...
New to Instagram! | Karli Harrison Photography
I have finally taken the leap over from Facebook to join Instagram with a business profile! I am going to be sharing some favourite photos from lots of the gorgeous couples I've had the pleasure of photographing in the past, as well as my lovely new couples to come.
I've been able to capture so many beautiful weddings in some stunning locations including both Italy and Spain, as well as closer to home in the equally beautiful Scotland, Wales and England. Going back over these images to update my new Instagram account has been so much fun remembering...
Worried About Rain On Your Wedding Day? | Wedding Photographer UK
Most couples book their wedding months, if not years, in advance to the big day. The British weather is certainly unpredictable (don't we all know it!) and whatever the time of year, rain is always a possibility. It's often a big worry on a bride's mind.
A few tips that can help with your pre-wedding weather jitters:
Ensure you have some umbrellas to hand. It may seem obvious, but I always carry around some large cream umbrellas in the boot of my car, just in case. It's one less thing for brides to think about, and in actual...
Becci & Mike | Singleton Lodge Wedding Photographer
Where to start with this one?! Becci and Mike are such a fun and friendly couple who are obviously perfect for each other. They were an absolute pleasure to join. Their wedding was at Singleton Lodge in Poulton, Lancashire and the gorgeous building provided the perfect backdrop for their rustic and relaxed day. The guests, wedding party and staff were all so friendly, and great to be around. It was such a happy atmosphere! It was obvious that they had put so much thought into the little details of the day. A few of the personal touches...
