You may remember the gorgeous and hilarious Rob & Liz from their Chester town centre engagement shoot back at the end of last year. Rob kept Liz and I in stitches and their wedding day was no different, capped off with one of the funniest and most heartfelt groom's speeches I've heard to date!
Read MoreThornton Manor weddings feel like the most incredible dream, and I loved every second of my day working alongside their amazing staff, capturing a beautiful day that came down to two people who managed to find each other in this world. What an amazing thing that is, almost like a fairytale.
Read MoreGREENERY. Pantone's colour of the year is GREENERY. What a wonderful colour to kick off 2017...it recalls freshness and regrowth/rebirth, is the first signifier of spring when crocus shoots burst through the soil and expand into new life as they stretch and reach for all that photosynthesizing goodness from the sun. So I can't think of a better jumping-off point for your wedding.

Also it makes it even easier that Ellie & Rick were just two of the loveliest humans I've been lucky enough to meet in this wonderful job.

Read MoreI first landed at the stunning Standish wedding venue, Ashfield House, in April of this year. I had booked to second shoot the wonderful Debbie & Darran's wedding for Jonny Draper on the 1st of May but that night I was there exhibiting at an open evening alongside several other vendors including Kerry Baker MUA and the Rose Boutique, both of whom were going to be working on Debbie and Darran's wedding.
Read MoreAs a wedding photographer, I have a very specific set of fears that are beyond my control: that the vicar/registrar/celebrant has very specific rules for me, that the weather won't cooperate and it will be impossible to even get the cute umbrella shots and that the ceremony room will be SO. DARK. and tricky to subtly light whilst staying unobtrusive (see above vicar fears). And the wedding industry is changing so much (in a good way!) in that weddings are now taking place year-round, not just in the super bright summer months, in unbeliavable locations and to stay relevant and current it's my job to continue expanding the tools in my toolbelt.
