The first of the heatwave weddings, and what a day for it!!

A beautiful ceremony and marquee set up on family land in Assington, Suffolk, with Natalie getting ready just down the road at her nan’s house with her girls. I love days like this. I can confirm that Natalie’s Nan makes the best sausage rolls I’ve ever eaten!

Natalie and Jake, thank you for being up for everything, especially heading out for those evening field shots. So much fun.

A proper good day with such a kind, happy, loving couple!!! Just look how gorgeous they are!

I know I say this every time, but my couples really are the best 🥹

Mr and Mrs Olive \\ Saturday 13th June 2026 🥂

When Tash and Tom enquired with me last year and told me all about their wedding plans at , I immediately knew I had to be part of it all. So when they booked, I was really really excited!!

The White Horse in Easton is, without a doubt, one of the prettiest pubs in Suffolk, and serves some of the best food around. Having officially married a few days earlier in London, Tash and Tom chose one of their close friends to conduct a ceremony for them at Easton, followed by an incredible, food and drink filled celebration with all their guests, some of whom had travelled huge distances to be there!

To me, this was a dream wedding. A relaxed day in the Suffolk countryside, a quaint pub setting, incredible colourful flowers by .fleurgirl , a stunning open sided marquee by and a bar area full of happy, laid-back people.

Tash and Tom, thank you so much for having me along to capture your day and huge congratulations on becoming Mr and Mrs Olive!! What a great surnameđź©·

Being a wedding photographer isn’t just about taking photos on the day, it’s often so much more than that.

And I actually love all the extras. In fact, I occasionally daydream about being a wedding planner. I reckon I’d be pretty good at it!

A few more to add to the list, because this post took long enough to make without adding any more slides!

Jessy + Sam at the beautiful Woodhall Manor đź©·

I first met these two back in 2024 at Sam’s sister’s wedding, so when they contacted me last year to ask if I was free to photograph their own day I felt so honoured.

After a random overnight frost the night before (yes this was only weeks ago?!), we weren’t even sure all morning if the ceremony would be allowed outside, as the temperature might be below 16 degrees?! I’d never even heard of that rule before!

But luckily everything went ahead in the gorgeous little walled garden and it was just perfect.

Woodhall has so many lovely spots for photos, and drinks + canapés on the lawn have such a stunning backdrop.

Thank you both so much for having me. It was so nice to see you again, and some familiar faces too!!

Wow. What a start to my 2026 summer of weddings!!

Ella and Carl married at the very pretty Copdock Hall in front of their two boys and all of their friends and family, before wandering across the lawn to

I’m incredibly lucky to always have the most kind, caring and sweet couples, and Ella and Carl were all of this and some. Thank you so much for choosing me to capture your day. I didn’t want to leave!!

I haven’t been to Copdock Hall for a few years now, but my goodness what a glow up it’s had 🩷 I absolutely loved shooting there and I can’t wait to hopefully head back soon. Drop me a message if you’re getting married and still looking for your photographer!! 🙌🏻

A little throwback to this stunning styled shoot at back in 2024.

I never actually shared many images from this shoot at the time, but with the most amazing team of suppliers and the dreamiest colour palette, it feels like the perfect time to bring it back to life!!

A big thank you to for inviting me along đź©·

When you run your own business, especially as a creative, there is literally a piece of you that goes into every single bit of work you put out.

Having worked in government sector jobs from the age of 17 up until last year, and it’s hard to explain what that felt like, being one small person amongst hundreds of others. It’s not that no one cared… but ultimately, no one really cared, if that makes sense?!

Now, it’s completely different.

My clients, my couples, my reputation, the way I show up, every single thing matters. It’s all a reflection of me and my business.

So when I receive messages like these from past couples, whether it’s a WhatsApp or an email….it just hits different, because it’s just me, it’s all mine and it takes up a huge part of my life!!
