Yesterday the effervescent Jacqui married her sweetheart Dave in the Inglenook Suite of the GORGEOUS Rowton Hall in Chester with just a few very close family members faithfully looking on whilst their labrador (and ultimate flower girl) Mabel Pie bounded around greeting all her new best friends with her very own flower collar and goober-dog grin.
Read MoreNothing like ending a KNOCKOUT year of weddings with a firework-size bang! Friday was an incredibly emotional, beautifully styled boho-chic wedding of my dreams from start to finish, planned to perfection by the WONDERFUL Mel.
Read MoreVivienne and Andy got married in June at the grand Belle Epoque Hotel, which is a stunning, iconic venue in the centre of Knutsford. It was the most beautiful wedding and the sun shone all day long!
Read MoreThe WONDERFULLY sweet Claire & Michael got in touch with me just 7 WEEKS before their wedding day after booking (then cancelling) the big wedding next spring. Instead these two lovebirds opted for a VERY intimate (we're talking 20 people!) family-focused ceremony on the bandstand of the beautifully vintage Buxton Pavilion Gardens, just on the edge of the Peak District.

I was invited to participate in the discussion with the attendees and chat about my own business journey whilst shooting the super rad duo of Seb & Zuzi of Stella Photo, the beautiful Sarah and the incredible venue styling by Mat of Red Floral Architecture, The Word is Love, & Luminate Events.
Read More2016 has been one hell of a year. I have been so fortunate to have experienced so many high points but some of that has been soured by the awareness of a growing global unrest. I'm always clear: I'm an open book.
Read MoreI've said this before but I LOVE love. And one of the best parts of this job is spending time with so much joy on a regular basis, with couples and family who just radiate their adoration for each other. Rob & Elizabeth embody this joy so perfectly and I spent a gorgeous grey afternoon wandering around the beautiful Roman walls of Chester with them, doing my damndest to bottle it to the very best of my ability.
