Zanzibar…
Last month I headed out to Zanzibar for a few days after I'd finished in Tanzania. After spending 4 months documenting Raleigh's work I decided to set a little 'challenge' for myself, heading out into Stone Town just armed with my camera and a 50mm lens to see what I...
Sneak peek! Laura and Stu’s Shaw Hill wedding, Lancashire
On Saturday I was lucky enough to shoot a very special wedding - not only were my good friends Stu and Laura the bride and groom but I was shooting alongside another great friend (and fantastic wedding photographer) Neil Redfern! This is just a quick sneak peek for...
Sneak peek! Rosamund and Mike’s Shropshire wedding…
What an all round brilliant day yesterday was! Rosamund and Mike's wedding was absolutely perfect from start to finish - from the hand-made brides and bridesmaid bouquets to the traditional Nigerian drummers that greeted guests at the church and just the general...
Rosamund and Mike’s pre-wedding shoot in Castlefield
Tomorrow I'm off to Shropshire to photograph Rosamund and Mike's wedding. I can't wait, from what they've told me it sounds like it's going to be amazing! We met up last Bank Holiday for a coffee and a wander around Castlefield. They were both very nervous before the...
Sneak peek! Jen and Paul’s Sandon Hall wedding…
What a wedding to come back to! I've been living and working out in Tanzania for the last 4 months, having the time of my life, but returned last week to a packed wedding season. First wedding back, this beauty at Sandon Hall in Staffordshire... Paul and Jen, I've...
Paul and Jen’s Dunham Massey pre-wedding shoot
So I may be sweltering in the heat of Tanzania at the moment (although I'm writing this in advance so I 'think' if all goes to plan at this point I will be exploring Zanzibar) but later on today I start the journey home and get back ready to photograph Paul and Jen's...
Heather and Max’s post-wedding garden shoot
I've been doing a lot of work over the last year or so with the brilliant Erica Stacey who designs stunning bespoke bridal dresses. Heather designed and made her wedding dress with Erica, but didn't have a professional photographer at her wedding so when she and Erica...
Jay and Tor’s Shropshire Soulton Hall wedding…
I've gone from hardly posting a blog at all to not being able to cut down on my images when I'm posting...I think it's when you get on so well with a couple and are such a part of their wedding day it becomes really, really hard to whittle down your favourites. Still,...
James and Kat’s Hyde Bank Farm wedding, Cheshire
This was my first wedding at Hyde Bank Farm, and Kat and James chose a near perfect day for it! Blue skies and sunshine...not bad for an English summer! Kat had spent months putting together all the details for the day, sourcing old books, hunting for teasets and...
Dominique and John’s Eccleston wedding, Lancashire
Ahhh I loved being a part of Dominique and John's wedding! We had thunder storms, huge amounts of rain, the cutest dog in the world, great dancing and a bride who did all her bridesmaid's hair in the morning! What a day!
Hannah and Alex’s Styal Lodge wedding, Cheshire
Look how gorgeous these two are! And they are the loveliest people too, between them and their family and guests I really felt like I was attending a friend's wedding. Sometimes I have to pinch myself that I get to do this as a job, hang out with nice people on the...
Ellie and Greg’s Shropshire Farm wedding
Ellie and Greg were married and celebrated on Greg's family farm, in a gorgeous marquee full of games to keep young (and old) entertained all day! They'd chosen one of those rare, rainfree days last summer to get married and I loved spending the day with them. These...
Nancy’s first portrait shoot…
This was a really special shoot for me...Carole and Bill were my first ever wedding and Rebecca (Bill's daughter) and Parry were my second. In fact, before both of these weddings I was never going to be a wedding photographer. Nope, none of those boring lineups...
John and Dani’s garden wedding, Manchester
John and Dani had the rather dubious honour of getting married on the wettest day of the year...but they didn't let a little thing like that stop them from having the outdoor, garden wedding that they'd been planning! Dani's dad nipped down to the local B&Q,...
Naomi and John’s Rosley, Lake District wedding
There is nothing better than a wedding where family and friends all come together to make the day as full of love and laughter as this one was. This was my last wedding of the year and what a one to go out on, right up in the heart of the Lake District and we had...
Chloe and Pete’s wedding at Talton Lodge, Stratford
Chloe and Pete's wedding day can be summed up in one word...FUN! I started out at Chloe's mum's house where all the girls were getting ready before we all drove into Stratford-upon-Avon for the ceremony at the Town Hall. It was then a quick drive up to Talton Lodge...
Andy and Laura’s Eaves Hall wedding
Just after Christmas my friend and fellow Lancashire wedding photographer Emma Billsborough asked me along to Eaves Hall to second shoot for her at Andy and Laura's winter wedding. I jumped at the chance - firstly I get to spend the day with a good friend, secondly...
