  • An African wedding near Harrogate

  • Welcome to the most joyous wedding of the year. If youā€™d have been wandering through Braisty Woods near Harrogate last week, youā€™d have come across something rather unexpected. It wasnā€™t simply the fact that there was an outdoor wedding in progress ā€“ with a grand marquee dominating a field be[...]
  • The photographersā€™ wedding photographer

  • Sheila and Daryl broke with convention for their Lytham wedding ā€“ and set me a challenge. When youā€™re working on a weekly basis in the joyous surroundings of a wedding, itā€™s hard to treat any project as ā€˜just a jobā€™. How can you when youā€™re responsible for shooting the most important day of p[...]
  • The Preston wedding photography works

  • When a wedding photographer says they will ā€œcapture the story of your dayā€, what exactly do they mean? Well, with a little help from Nicola and Darren, it goes something like thisā€¦ Arriving at the wedding location Early April, Eaves Hall, near Clitheroe. Itā€™s been a while since I was here fo[...]
  • Bandstands and boardwalks and boats, oh my!

  • Choosing a Lake District wedding in mid-April runs a few risks ā€“ but the results are worth it. You can almost imagine the conversation Cora and Gareth will have had when planning their wedding. ā€œApril? The Lake District? Sure you donā€™t want it a couple of months later?ā€ This was one of my [...]

  • Claire and Paulā€™s wedding was a classic case of having to stay on my Lancashire wedding photographer toesā€¦ Not that that was anything to do with Claire and Paul, or their guests ā€“ at what was a lovely, warm and wonderfully enjoyable wedding. But the Lancashire weather (April showers and all t[...]

  • A big Xmas thank you

  • Thanks for choosing me as your Lancashire wedding photographer this yearā€¦ I donā€™t often look back at the weddings I cover ā€“ thereā€™s rarely time as thereā€™s always another one around the corner - but Christmas gets you in a reflective sort of mood and I recently found myself looking back at an ecle[...]
  • Why civil weddings are moreā€¦ civil

  • At one of my first Preston wedding photography shoots of the year, Iā€™m reminded just why I enjoy civil wedding ceremonies so much.
