Vicky and Mark have been together 18 years (!!!) and have two STUNNING children, Ebony & Austin who tagged along for the shoot. Whilst a pre-wedding shoot is generally just to get comfortable with the couples portraits, I loved having these two goofballs around. They were hilarious and the dynamic of the day was super relaxed, feeling more like a family day out than a photo shoot. These kids are STARS and their energy is completely infectious.
Read MoreNaomi & her fiance Jonathan met me on a sunny Sunday morning in August ahead of their upcoming (this Friday in fact!) Owen House Wedding Barn wedding. We had met briefly last year at the lovely Ellie & Rick's Parsonage Gardens wedding party and I was so so excited when they got in touch to book me for their own wedding! Both Naomi & Jonathan work in the beauty industry (they own a GORGEOUS salon in Holmes Chapel that you can check out HERE ) and I knew that with their creative background we'd get on so so well.
Read MoreSuzanne & Matthew asked me to photograph their Manchester Town Hall wedding in September this year. 2017 felt so far away but I was thrilled! And after two years of full-time wedding photography, I feel the confidence to truly do their wedding day justice. But first thing was first: we needed to do another engagement shoot, one to reflect the past couple of years of training and evolution and this voice I've managed to find through so much hard work and both self & peer critique. I needed to give them photos that weren't just relying on their own natural chemistry but celebrated it and showed it off.

Read MoreNina and Zakk are one such couple and I was super stoked when these Sweden-based lovebirds told be that they'd be back in the UK for Christmas and we'd get a chance for their shoot ahead of their July 1st wedding. If you've been keeping up with me over the quiet period, you'll have seen a few of the sneak peeks I posted from their Manchester city centre pre-wedding shoot...these two are just amazing.
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.
Read MoreRecently, I booked the wonderful Hayley & Chris in for their April wedding at the stunning Thornton Manor on the Wirral. As it is one of my earliest weddings for 2017, I was eager to get them booked in for their pre-wedding shoot and take advantage of the stunning colours of the changing trees.
