A stylish spring wedding at Curradine Barns, Worcestershire

Curradine Barns, Worcestershire Wedding Photography Fiona & Dan got married at the stunning Curradine Barns, Worcestershire at the beginning of April. With the venue being a couple of hours away from home in Cheshire I set out the evening before to travel and stay nearby and arrived at Curradine Barns early the day of the wedding. The barns there were originally built as a grain store, with restorations and improvements creating a contemporary and atmospheric wedding venue wi

A wedding bloggers dream wedding at Combermere Abbey, Cheshire

Combermere Abbey Wedding Photography Fabulous times at Combermere Abbey, Cheshire coming up! I met Chyaz & Tiz back in 2017 to discuss their big day plans and their wedding photography, and had been beside myself with excitement since we met.. even more so since we headed out into the Manchester Christmas Markets for the pre-wedding session! I've been following Chyaz on her Instagram and youtube feeds in the run up and loved hearing little bits about the wedding planning! I'v

An intimate Cheshire wedding at Crewe Municipal Buildings

Crewe Municipal Buildings, Cheshire Wedding Photography I'm in full swing wedding season at the moment and I'm conscious that my blog has been veryyy quiet - so I'm planning to get some of my recent weddings up on here over the next couple of weeks! I think this was one of my wettest weddings to date, but also one of my absolute faves! Laura got in touch last year to ask about photography for their small, informal wedding at the Municipal Buildings in Crewe, Cheshire, followe

A bright Crewe Hall wedding with singing waiters!

Crewe Hall, Cheshire Wedding Photography I only spoke to Becky & James for the first time in the couple of weeks before Christmas last year, and they explained they'd not long booked their wedding at Crewe Hall, Cheshire for in a couple of months time! They didn't have long to get everything together but managed to pull off one heck of a day! The girls got ready at home and the house actually felt like it was made for bridal prep! Gorgeous, light & airy it was a dream to phot

RACHEL + PHIL // WEST TOWER WEDDING

I drove down the M6 on the morning of Rachel & Phil's West Tower Wedding in absolutely torrential rain.. my windscreen wipers were on the fastest setting and I spent the journey getting a rain plan together in my head.. feeling fortunate I'd got a 10 emergency umbrellas in the boot! By the time I arrived to the girls getting ready in the bridal suite the rain had eased off, and by the afternoon we were actually battling against super bright sunshine instead! (no one wants to

STEPH + RESH // SANDHOLE OAK BARN WEDDING

I joined Steph and Resh for their gorgeous wedding at Sandhole Oak Barn this summer. They chose a peach and blue theme which was brought to life with stunning flowers and venue dressing from Lily Rose Events! I've been excited to shoot a wedding at Sandhole Oak Barn and Steph and Resh's wedding was gorgeously laid back and it was an absolutely beautiful day to spend there! Sandhole is an exclusive use wedding venue that has everything all in one place. Steph and the girls got

HANNAH + KYLE // STYAL LODGE WEDDING

I've been so excited to shoot Hannah & Kyle's Styal Lodge wedding since they got in touch back in early 2016, I'd been over to Styal Lodge a couple of months prior and knew what a gorgeous venue it is, but it had been in the winter and I couldn't wait to see how amazing it looked in full bloom. I arrived in the morning just ahead of the girls and managed to have a quick look around at the set up, and all of the little details they'd planned so well - the flowers were stunning

SOPHIE + BEN // THE ASHES WEDDING

What I remembered from my pre-wedding shoot with Sophie & Ben was that they were funny, completely in love, and their wedding was going to be dinosaur themed. Cue me waiting impatiently for their wedding day to come around so I could see exactly what it was they had planned & how it would all come together! I arrived at the beauuuutiful Ashes in gorgeous sunshine, and found a group of very excited girls in Jurassic Park T-shirts and giant Dino slippers getting everything read

LAURA + LUKE // CREWE HALL WEDDING

Laura and I went to college together, but having lost touch I was surprised to get a phone call from her back in May! Explaining that she & Luke were looking for a photographer at short notice I was delighted to see I still had the date available! On the morning of the wedding the girls were excited - Laura's Maid of Honour was so emotional helping her into her dress - and breaking tradition, it was the boys that were running late getting ready! The ceremony was beautiful and

A Rustic outdoor wedding at Alcumlow Wedding Barn

Sarah and Jack booked in with me after a recommendation from a mutual friend. We met at their venue - Alcumlow Hall Farm on an evening the week before the big day and I was so excited to see they had the option for an outdoor ceremony! I spent the entire week checking the weather, and on the morning of the wedding I arrived at Sarah and Jack's home in Haslington to uncertain skies. The girls popped a couple of bottles of Prosecco and while getting ready Sarah got the call....

LUCY + NEIL // GROSVENER PULFORD HOTEL & SPA WEDDING

Lucy asked me to shoot her wedding last year, after taking pictures of her daughter Ruby. Her and Neil wanted something relaxed, with as much focus on all of their guests as on them. Their wedding was on the Sunday of May bank holiday weekend, and the weather was HOT! I called in for Lucy's bridal prep shots at her and Neil's home in Nantwich to find the girls excitedly getting ready for the day, before heading out to their gorgeous venue in Chester - the Grosvener Pulford Ho
