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

Top 50 UK Wedding Photographers 2018

Every year since starting out in photography, and especially since shooting weddings, I see a list that gets published online naming the Top 50 Wedding Photographers in the UK for the current year.. I'm always struck at the amount of talent on there, and each time I see names of photographers who I've met and attended their workshops, and have seen take to the stage to talk photography. Some of the photographers in that list have played a huge part in making me believe it was

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

A freezing pre-wedding shoot in the snow at Heaton Park, Manchester

If you saw my Instagram stories this weekend you'll have seen I was out with Emily & Phil at Heaton Park for their pre-wedding shoot ahead of their Wrenbury Hall wedding over the Easter weekend.. and you'll also have seen that I stepped out of the car into a blizzard - it was sooo windy! There should be a video here.. depending on whether my website skills are any good! I love heading out to new places to shoot and when I realised Heaton Park was in the middle of us I thought

The best of 2017 wedding photography

I don't even know where to start with this year! I have to admit I entered 2017 feeling a little nervous about the year ahead - it's been my first year solely self employed after doing photography alongside my full time job previously, but I couldn't be more pleased with how it turned out and looking through these images I'm heading into 2018 full to the brim with excitement for the next year. I started to put together a little round up over the Christmas week and it quickly

An autumnal Delamere Forest engagement shoot

Faye & Mike are due to be married at gorgeous Chester wedding venue Carden Park at the end of February so we had a chat a few months ago about getting out and shooting their pre-wedding images and came up with a couple of venues we might head over to. We settled on Delamere Forest in Cheshire and headed out mid afternoon just in time for a beautiful warm sunny glow through the forest. I've been wanting to photograph a pre-wedding shoot at Delamere for a while and the with the

An intimate Cheshire village wedding in Great Budworth

When Willow got in touch with me earlier in the year I knew immediately that this was going to be a special day. Willow explained that her & Jack's cottage was not only next door to the Church they were to be married in, but also the venue they would have their reception in afterwards and that they were hoping to take their wedding portraits in the village and roads surrounding their home in Great Budworth, Cheshire! I arrived early the morning of the wedding to give myself s

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

A summer wedding at Delamere Events

Oh my gosh.. this whole day was just beautifulllll!! THAT dress (details below!), the shoes - Jess wore her mums wedding shoes that had been safely tucked away in storage until now! the flowers, the venue, did I mention the dress already?! Jess and the girls got ready at her parents house, where her mum had cleared out a gorgeous light and airy room for Jess to get into her dress that worked perfectly for photographing the little details too, and with the exception of The Cas
