I was accompanied for Jane & James wedding by a new young photographer, Jodie, whose family had met me at a previous wedding and asked if she might be able to join me on another occasion and maybe learn a few things. Wherever possible I like to say yes, because I was never given those … [Read more…]

After last weeks sneek peak shot of Clare, comes a fuller selection from Clare & Sam’s wedding at Mottram Hall. They were such a great couple to photograph, very relaxed and fun. “Keep it really informal. nothing too posed” was my brief, which of course is just how I like it! It was my first … [Read more…]
This most recent wedding of the year was quite a short one for me, but a real delight! Underley Grange, near Kendal was a new venue for me, and a beautiful one too. The sun came out after days of rain and poor visibility. After a few shots around the venue, of Alyson and Adrian … [Read more…]
Michelle and Peter-Daniel (PD for short) married at Bartle Hall, fast becoming one of my fave wedding venues, though the low light in the ceremony room, made for some tricky exposures. The weather was mostly good, just a few spots of rain, but enough for me to bring out a few rainy day toys to … [Read more…]
Sam & Paul’s wedding was the first in a quick succession of 3 weddings over 8 days. The wedding took place at Barton Grange between Garstang and Preston, a lovely venue I’ve shot at before.

I’m a little later than usual blogging Cat & Phil’s wedding, as I was off on holiday for 2 weeks straight after and have only just had chance to finish the edit!

I loved the outdoors service … [Read more…]
Liz and Mark could seriously not have had any better weather for their fantastic wedding at the Lancaster Priory (next to the Castle). It was a close moment shortly after I arrived at the Lancaster House Hotel where Liz was getting ready, when she discovered she had left her shoes at home (!) but a … [Read more…]
Harm and Agnieszka were such a great couple! I’ll admit to being slightly anxious shooting this wedding. With only 5 guests, I was never going to find it easy to mingle unseen among the guests and get the candid shots i like to grab! However, I was made to feel incredibly welcome from the off, … [Read more…]
Rain most certainly did not stop play last weekend as Sarah and Gary married with smiles and laughter in abundance at Scotforth St. Pauls Church in Lancaster with reception at the Ashton Hall, Garstang Golf Club, a remarkable building which dates back to Medieval times (and was a previous home of Lord Ashton).My day started … [Read more…]
Janine and Richard married on a lovely sun-filled day at Bartle Hall near Preston, a great wedding venue, and a great couple.
