Huge congratulations to this pair! 🥂

Alanna and Dean had an amazing day, surrounded by their favourite people and making the most of every minute of it. From the quiet moments to the ones filled with laughter, it was such a fun one to be part of! 🥰

What an incredible day! 😍

Katie & Matt had a beautiful outdoor ceremony yesterday, with blue skies and bright sunshine. The day was an absolute dream from start to finish - everyone was so much fun to be around, and I couldn't have asked for a nicer couple to spend the day with. 🥰

Also, it's not everyday that the wedding car is one that the couple themselves have restored together, pretty much from the ground up. So yes, the MR2 had it's own little photoshoot too... 😎

What a day yesterday! 😍

Dionne and Lloyd celebrated their perfect day surrounded by their closest friends and family, and the love for this pair from everyone was clear to see... I'm still getting over some of those speeches. 🥲

Everyone was so lovely to be around, and I even managed to enlist their 4 year-old daughter Thea as my assistant for a large part of the day! Actually, I think she may have enlisted ME...🥰😂

New Blog time! 📖

One of the things I love to do is help guide my couples through some of the details of their wedding day - especially choosing which family group photographs to have. 🥰

It can be surprisingly difficult to know which combinations to choose, and with limited time between the ceremony and wedding breakfast, keeping things realistic is really important!

So, I've put together a little guide to help — including some suggestions, a sample timeline, and a few tips to make the whole process as quick and painless as possible. 😊

Take a look here! 👇

What an incredible day yesterday! 😍

Danielle and Tom tied the knot in a beautiful outdoor ceremony, surrounded by their closest family and friends - some of which were familiar faces that were a joy to see again! 🥰

Everyone was so much fun to be around, the sun was shining, and with scenery THIS good, you know it's one to remember! 😍

As so often happens, despite glorious weather for most of the day, clouds started to gather on the horizon and my hopes of a golden hour looked like they might be disappearing... but I never give up! 😎

With only about 10 minutes to spare, the sun broke through just above the horizon, giving us just enough time to nip outside and create these beautiful backlit portraits of Sam & Beth before the light disappeared. 😍

And with that, another gallery has been delivered!

I'm normally holding a camera to capture other people's memories, so last week we spent some time making a few of our own! 🥰

This was our first proper family holiday in around ten years, and the first time we've ever taken Lizzie away for a full week. Normally we're lucky if we can squeeze in a long weekend or a Monday-to-Friday break, so we wanted to make this one count... and there seemed no better place than Cornwall!

It was so much fun revisiting some of our favourite places with our favourite little person, and I've no doubt that some of her core memories will come from this trip. Staying at Kynance Cove until sunset, before packing up all our stuff and carrying it back across the beach and up to the car park in the dark, will probably be one of them! 😂

We're already planning next year, but for now it's back to reality.

I'll be catching up on emails and enquiries over the next few days, so thank you to everyone who's been in touch while we've been away. I'll get back to you as soon as I can! ❤️

When the light is just right! 😍

While I was capturing the morning prep for Jess and Callum at Cefn Tilla Court, I couldn't help but notice how beautifully the sunlight was landing on the timber floors of the Great Hall - and I knew instantly what I was going to do! Bloody lovely, even if I say so myself. 😉😎

I'm a little obsessed with this one, so here's another peek at Rhianna & Josh's amazing day! 😍

When you're getting married in Bath, there are so many amazing locations for your couples portraits it can be hard to choose... but luckily, you don't need to go very far! The Guildhall is a spectacular building, so when you're surrounded by Georgian architecture this pretty, it would be rude to not make the most of it! 🥰

Sam and Beth's gallery is coming along beautifully, so here's one more cheeky peek! 😍

I love moments like this - completely natural and unposed. We were heading into the Rose garden for some portraits, with Beth holding her dress and Sam holding the bouquet... the best shots are always unscripted! 🥰😎
