A & S 💍 What a bloody gorgeous elopement.

Just these two cuties (+ Kevin the dog for a tiny bit), a simple ceremony at Gretna Green, and then off to the Lake District for a little adventure around Keswick.

I’m slightly obsessed with these two, just FYI. They’re both incredibly cool, fun humans, and I absolutely loved the dark romantic vibes they brought to their wedding day. The outfits, the flowers, the rings... absolutely my cup of tea 🖤

In the Lakes, we wandered around Castlerigg Stone Circle before visiting Derwentwater (one of my favourite places). Then I left them to enjoy the rest of their wedding day together in Keswick.

I know I’ve said it before and I’ll keep saying it: elopements and intimate weddings are my favourite.

Why? Because there is just naturally more space to be present with each other and focus on what really matters… how ridiculously in love you are.

Your wedding doesn’t have to be big or traditional to be special. Maybe the perfect day for you is just the two of you, some stunning scenery, and doing things entirely your own way.

You do not need to lose weight for your wedding.

If that’s something you genuinely want to do for yourself, fair enough. But if you’re doing it because of pressure from other people, social media, wedding culture, or some made-up idea of what a bride is supposed to look like...

Sod that.

You don’t need a smaller body to have a brilliant wedding day.
You don’t need to be a certain dress size to look incredible in your photos.
And you definitely don’t need to earn your right to feel beautiful.

The person you’re marrying loves you exactly as you are. That’s why they’re marrying you.

Turn up. Take up space. Wear the dress. Have the cake. Be in the photos.

You’re already enough.

C & A 💍

This was one hell of a dreamy wedding from last year and I still can’t get over how flipping adorable it was.

And side note, the bride is wearing the best shoes ever!

Not only were these two cuties… well super cute. They had the most gorgeous family and friends, which at the end of the day is exactly what you want to be surrounded by on your wedding day.

Overall this wedding was full of whimsy and love, my perfect cup of tea.

Shoe logistics on photoshoots is such a real thing, because the terrain and your shoes will influence how well you can move through certain prompts or actions.

So I think it’s always good to check in as something that might be ok for one person, may not work for another. And you know, ideally I don’t want anyone decking it on my watch while you’re supposed to be having fun on a shoot.

Luckily on this flipping gorgeous couple shoot both E & J both wore shoes they were happy moving around in 😂

Literally about to say “I’ll let you go party now” after we wrap up couple portraits, and then something extra cute happens as soon as I put my camera down.

These are the kind of adorable wedding moments I live for, even if I occasionally have to make you go for round two of being extra cute so I can get the shot.

I & D 💍
Won’t lie to you, and I’m sure I’ve said it before but small, intimate weddings have a very special place in my heart 🤍

This one, down at the bottom of Pendle Hill in a lovely little pub, was exactly that. Just their favourite people, no fuss, no big production… just a proper good day.

I was there for a couple of hours to catch the key bits, a little of the getting ready, the “I do”, some candids and a little wander for some gorgeous portraits. Then I left them to crack on and enjoy the rest of it.

And honestly… days like this are such a good reminder that you don’t need to have a big wedding to have a wedding that feels full.

Sometimes you just need all your favourite people gathered in a pub and a photographer to tag along for a couple of hours.

Half the time, the best shoots at weddings aren’t always planned.

They’re the little moments in between when a situation or a shot presents itself and you just gotta take it.

This is what I love about photographing weddings.

And, this photo of the bridal bouquet on the moss covered wall…. Banging 🌹✨

It’s always a fun day when my weird matches your weird, I’d love to say I remember why we started making turkey sounds but I actually can’t 😅🦃

But what a blast I had photographing Meg & Luke’s wedding was last year, such a beautiful day filled with lots of love, laughter and lots of sound effects from all sides!

Detail shots 💍 from C & As wedding last year.

I think it’s always important to get some detail photos during prep because all these items hold memories about the wedding.

Whether it’s the actual wedding rings, the flowers chosen to accompany someone down the aisle, fun shoes full of personality or the scent worn on the day. Everything chosen is precious, so I’ll always document as much of it as I can 📸
