Lionelle and Max’s cake-cutting at Eastington Park was pure magic—and full of surprises! Just look at Max’s expression in this split-second moment. I’m not sure what he was reacting to, but it’s micro-moments like this that remind us how fun, spontaneous, and memorable a wedding day can be.

There’s nothing quite like the dress reveal moment! The excitement, the surprise, the pure joy on these bridesmaids’ faces as they see Sophie in her gown for the first time at Prestwold Hall is simply priceless. You can feel the emotion radiating through every smile and tear of happiness.

There’s nothing like a bit of mischievous humor during wedding prep! Here’s William, on his and Lauren’s special day at St. Deny’s Church in Colmworth, Bedfordshire, carefully tying his groomsman’s tie – and intentionally smacking him in the face with it to spark some laughter! 😂

I love the look of seriousness on William’s face as he pulls off this playful prank. It’s these unguarded moments that add an extra spark of fun to the day.

Siobhian walking down the aisle at the stunning Mythe Barn, escorted by her proud dad, was such an emotional moment. The bond between them was so evident, especially as they shared a glance full of love and meaning just before she reached Michael, her husband-to-be. 🕊️💍

It’s these subtle, heartfelt interactions that make wedding days so unforgettable.

Just when you think it’s a straightforward group photo… BAM! Two guests literally pop up from behind a wall of topiary at Lynette and Paul’s Prestwold Hall wedding, leaving everyone (including me!) in fits of laughter! 😂🌿

I had no idea they were there, but Lynette loved the surprise so much that we couldn’t leave this shot out. It’s moments like these that remind us: weddings are about joy, laughter, and a little mischief!

A quick last-minute wardrobe fix at Laura and Daniel’s stunning Prestwold Hall wedding! 🕊️✨ This bridesmaid stepped in to steam out the creases for one of the groomsmen’s shirts – teamwork at its finest.

Now, it might look like these two are naked, but I promise they’re not! 😂 Just another candid, behind-the-scenes moment that made this day so unique and full of fun.

Prep at Emily and Conor’s wedding at The Old Cow Shed in Leicestershire brought plenty of laughs! 🎩😂 Here’s Conor’s dad helping out with a tie – mid-drape over a family member’s head – only for it to hilariously get stuck on his nose. Perfect timing for a perfect memory!

It’s the unplanned moments like this that bring so much personality to the day.

Canapé chaos at Kimberley and Peter’s beautiful Kilworth House Hotel wedding in Leicestershire! 🥂✨

The look of pure determination on one side and quiet despondency on the other as the battle for the last canapé unfolds. Weddings are about love and joy – but sometimes, they’re also about who gets the final bite! 😂

Kelly and Paul’s first dance at the stunning Bridge House Barn in Leicestershire was nothing short of magical. ✨

Paul’s face says it all – completely lost in the moment, singing along to their favorite track with pure joy. Moments like this remind us why the first dance is so special: it’s you, your song, and a room full of love. 💕

I captured this unforgettable WPJA award-winning moment during Lauren & Will's stunning church/farm wedding in Bedfordshire! 🏉✨

As the Rugby Union Premiership Final heated up, what started as a couple of guys sneaking glances at their phone turned into the entire table getting involved. The perfect mix of wedding vibes and game-day excitement!

Congrats to the happy couple on their beautiful day and to this group of passionate fans for bringing the energy! 🎉💍

Here's a WPJA award-winning shot from an unforgettable wedding in Somerset!

The ceremony was held at the iconic Royal Crescent Hotel in Bath, and while the reception venue has to stay a secret (it’s not your usual wedding spot 😉), this intimate celebration with just 27 guests was nothing short of magical.

From heartfelt moments to spontaneous laughter, the day ended on a high note with an epic dance-off. Who needs a DJ when you have an iPad and a PA system? 💃🕺

This photo captures the pure joy of that moment—a perfect ending to a perfect day! 💍❤️

Well, if this isn't the definition of an absolute lad move! Leave it to our resident party animal groomsman to think it's appropriate to offer the groom's baby a cold one while we're all getting ready at Kilworth House.

I mean, I know the little tyke is joining the wedding party, but I'm pretty sure he's still a few years away from being able to handle his pints like the rest of us. Though I have to give the lad credit - he's clearly taking his role as "cool uncle" very seriously.

Here comes the bride... and her plus one! 🤵‍♂️👰‍♀️👧

Jemma's big day at Mythe Barn was a real family affair as she made her grand entrance with her proud dad on her arm. But just when you thought it couldn't get any cuter, there was Alex waiting at the end of the aisle, holding his little girl Lily in the sweetest daddy-daughter moment.

Someone pass the tissues - this wedding just got emotional! 😭❤️ Can we get a round of applause for the happy couple (and their mini me)?

Time to get this party started! Tag your plus one below 👇

Just when you thought vintage car weddings couldn't get any more vintage... 🤦‍♂️

Our happy couple Alex and James had a little, let's say, 'transportation trouble' on their big day. Turns out the lovely red Triumph decided to take a well-timed power nap, leaving the lovebirds stranded roadside.

Thankfully, a knight in shining tow truck came to the rescue, ensuring these two crazy kids made it to the reception (albeit a little late 😉). Wedding snafus aside, doesn't this just sum up marriage in a nutshell? Gotta love a bit of good old-fashioned British charm!

Here's to many more adventures in that vintage chariot, you two! 🥂

Image of the Year 2016 results

Hi folks, excuse the chest scratching, repetition & constant 'erming', it's my first ever video on social media so be easy on me, I might make Match of the Day presenter yet! :-) Here are the results of my Image of the Year 2016 competition which also includes the draw for the John Lewis Gift Vouchers. Thanks to all who took part, have a cracking weekend! x

Krystle & Sam

A nice surprise to see my images featured on TV. I shot Krystle & Sam's wedding at Prestwold Hall in May 2014 on a sunny Springtime day. They were featured on Channel 4's Location, Location, Location just before their wedding. Last week, presenter Phil Spencer went back to visit them in the house they bought that he'd managed to uncover for them and asked if they had any wedding pictures! :-)
