I will never not post this gorgeous wedding that Jainuma and Gabriel chose me to document. And what a privilege it was to be able to photograph at Harrow School.
We had so much fun during the couples session battling the wind, but what an incredible afternoon at which is a venue of DREAMS!
It’s not often you get a venue with such versatility inside and outside, and this isn’t even showcasing everywhere this is just a small snippet in the time we had before heading over to the reception at the Hyatt Regency later on in the day.

All of these portraits are taken on site and it’s a photographers playground. I was absolutely spoilt for choice with these two 😍❤️
Cannot wait to come back next year and work with the team again ✨

Mr and Mrs Whitmarsh! 😍🙌
I had the pleasure of celebrating with Hannah and Mark, and getting to know their fabulous friends and family after their ceremony in Taunton.
We headed over to where their lovely staff put up with me rearranging the furniture 😂 (which was promptly put back of course) for some portraits inside!

Fantastic working with the lovely on video!
Lush catching up with the VERY talented on makeup! 😍

Wow wow WOW! ✨
Yasmin and Aaron, what a day!

We had the most electric day at the stunning yesterday with phenomenal vibes 👌
Finished the day with a beautiful sunset over the fields outside, and then queue their amazing entrance with Indian drummers and the dance floor was PACKED!

Look at this insane confetti BLIZZARD at Nuka and Ravi’s wedding 😍
I always tell couples that more is more with confetti! You can never have too much 😂✨

One of my favourite moments from Jainuma and Gabriel’s wedding is this moment where Jainumas’ father helps her put her veil on outside, on possibly the windiest day London has seen in a while!
It was such a beautiful and pure moment to capture ❤️
Here’s a few shots from their ceremony and this gorgeous staircase leading up to the ceremony room at the War Memorial building at Harrow School 😍✨

What a wedding!! 😍🔥
These two definitely know how to bring the vibes ✨

Husband and husband FINALLY!! 😍
What an incredible wedding this was and to finish off with the most spectacular golden sunset was so perfect ✨✨✨

HELLO EVERYONE!!

I realise I’ve been totally naff with my social media this year but I have been so blessed with the most insane weddings this year. I kicked off my year photographing the wedding of the GORGEOUS Bec and Kurt at in Australia 🇦🇺! I flew over from Thailand as I loveee to spend my winters in a bit of sunshine 😂
Had a fab drive down from Sydney and spent a couple of days with this wonderful lot with the best hospitality and of course puppy cuddles!! 😂🐶

Bec and Kurt originally booked me for their wedding in the UK back in 2019!! But Covid put an abrupt halt to their wedding plans and planning overseas wasn’t the easiest thing to do. Nearly 5 years later and a few postponements in…I flew out to Australia to capture their perfect day 🇦🇺✨✨✨

12/04/2024

Jainuma and Gabriel! ✨

Wow wow wow, where do I start?

These guys brought so much energy and love, and it was an absolute pleasure being there for them both over the weekend.
They picked the perfect setting of Harrow School for their wedding ceremony, and then onto the Hyatt Regency in Central London for the reception. The light on those stairs gave me goosebumps!

The most REGAL wedding 👌✨
Clevedon Hall is perfect for a bit of mood and atmosphere, and Hannah is bringing some serious attitude in these shots on the stairs.

Cannot tell you how much fun we had on Hannah and Scott’s wedding day with the most fantastic team of suppliers and of course the wonderful team at Clevedon Hall as always.

What a pair of rockstars ✨

People always ask me if I leave straight after the first dance and the answer is ABSOLUTELY NOT.
I don’t want to miss out on epic moments like these 🤘
Carrie and Mikey had the most epic silent disco with the best vibes ever.
Dancing shots are some of my fave moments because everyone is so relaxed and there’s no awkwardness at all. And I get to bust out some moves too 😂👌
Don’t be scared about me packing up immediately before your first dance has finished 🎉 🪩

Hello my darlings!!
It’s been a busy January for me with editing, admin, and of course catching some rays out here in Thailand, but I’ve realised I’ve neglected my social media a bit so let’s get posting and showing you all the insanely gorgeous weddings I get to be a part of. I’ve got some MEGA things lined up this year with a big start to my year with an overseas wedding to a country I’ve never been to before!!

Enquiries are coming in FAST for 2025 and I am already having to turn people away for popular dates 😭

In the meantime, just letting all of you lovelies know I’m still here, and enjoy these gorgeous confetti moments from Laurie and Sims wedding at Bristol Cathedral last year 😍
Top tip for a mega confetti shot is to buy paper confetti canons!

24/12/2023

I can’t wait to write up SO many blog posts during Jan and Feb ❤️ I’ve got a big ol reel to make of all of the epic weddings I’ve been a part of (every single one!!)

To all of the amazing weddings I’ve got to be a part of this year, I am just so grateful to you all. I am absolutely knackered 😂 but I wouldn’t change my job for the world. I’ve also worked with some phenomenal talent this year!

Sharing a couple more from Carrie and Mikeys wedding but not toooo many as they haven’t seen them all yet! I just can’t help myself 😂✨❤️

I hope everyone has a wonderful Christmas and I’ll be back in the office in a few days time! 🥰🎄

Cat and James! 🎄✨
What a way to end the year and wedding season for me 🥰
Watching one of my friends get married to her true love, James, was such a special moment for me yesterday.
I’ve known Catherine for over 10 years of my life and we have shared so many laughs together. It was a privilege to be asked to be there for them both.

What a pleasure it was to be there for them both yesterday and capture the best day ever

The weather held out and my reign of being a dry good luck charm continues to another year 😂 🤞

Chloé and Dom shared their special day at one of my favourite venues, , just down the road from me!

These guys are superstars and despite having a bit of that wet stuff fall from the sky during the evening, we absolutely smashed it 🤟
Should definitely be a life goal to find someone the way Dom looks at Chloé 😩❤️ There was SO much love and electricity between these two ✨⚡️

I have so many gorgeous weddings to share on the gram and I can’t believe where the time has gone 🫣

Cathy and Mike absolutely smashing it at on a surprisingly scorching autumn day ✨ A golden hour to be proud of that evening for sure as we ran around the grounds of the stunning St Audries.

Everything is starting to slow down now and editing is full steam ahead 🤟

Oh my LORDDD. Carrie and Mikey what an EPIC party this was.
These guys eloped in Vegas last year and decided to have an insane party with a silent disco, pizza, casino, cocktails and pure good vibes.

Louis and Sophie! You absolute babes!! 😍
We were so lucky to not have any rain on Saturday but the wind was MENTAL! 😂
Did I still make them run around in a field giving me Wuthering Heights vibes?
Yes I did, and they absolutely rocked it!!
A windswept portrait session isn’t always what a girlie wants after having hair and makeup done but don’t you just loveee how it’s made Sophie’s dress move 👌❤️

Thank you so much for having me and a huge congratulations again!! 😍🥰

Hey everyone!!
It’s been a long time since I’ve done a post all about meeeeee. In fact I take SO many pictures of so many gorgeous couples I always forget about me and people MIGHT actually want to see who I am 😂

Here’s the face behind the camera and who will be your hype girl, emergency snack bringer and professional 3rd wheel ✨

If you’ve been photographed by me you’ll know I look nothing like this by the end of a wedding and I am a red faced sweat ball from running about all day especially in the heat we’ve had recently 😂

Not often at all I get to update some nice pictures of me for the website and what better place than for me to feel fancy for the day!! 😂 Thank you to my number 1 girl for this shot! ✨🥰

19/05/2023

The golden evenings are back!!✨☀️

Still swooning over Beth and Matts gorgeous wedding last week ✨

What you don’t hear from this picture is me screaming “OH MY GOD THIS LOOKS INSANE…RUN BETH RUN” 😂 It is always my goal to make portraits fun rather than it feel like a chore for a couple. I will forever be a hype girl and I will never apologise for it 😂⚡️🪩

Loved this mirror on the wall at the Avon Gorge Hotel so I could compose the perfect shot of Beth having her makeup done by the amazing RoseForrest Hair and Make-up ✨

What an epic day at Leigh Court and these two are just a dream to photograph ✨⚡️🪩

Exciting news!!
I have been invited back to Paris to collaborate with the wonderful to create some gorgeous wedding images later in the year 🥰

Going to be an amazing team, super excited to brainstorm ideas 😊

Throwback to my last Paris shoot back when travel was super restricted and we basically had Paris to ourselves!! The Louvre was so amazing to shoot at with and her husband!

MY TOP TIPS FOR A GREAT SPARKLER SHOT! ✨

1. Get LONG sparklers. The ones the burn for a couple of minutes are the best as it’s not a mad rush and you have time to enjoy the moment.

2. Get people to double up!
Buy more than you need so you can have extra bright sparkles in your photos. This means no drinks in peoples hands so they’re fully invested in the moment if they’re holding 2 sparklers each!

3. You don’t need everyone!!

My best tip for sparkler shots is to not include EVERYONE. 20-30 people is more than enough. Organising 60+ that have been usually drinking all day to hold a small firework is not something I recommend 😂. I usually hand select people and grab some evening guests that have just arrived to minimise the chances of that guest that’s been on the fizz since 11am becoming a fire risk 😂

4. September - April is best!

If you’re having a summer wedding, remember that it’s not dark often until gone 9pm! This can make it super difficult to get people outside and if you enjoy a drink and want to truly party, it becomes very difficult and more risky to give people fire as the evening goes on. This is why I limit my part in doing sparkler photos in the summer months. Sorry to be a Buzz Killington! But the safety of my couples always comes first (and my safety of course, please don’t set me on fire 😂)

5. HAVE FUN AND SMILE!

Throw in a dip kiss, a picking up shot like Hayley and James did! But most importantly, smile and enjoy ❤️

6. SAFETY FIRST: Listen to your photographer!

Probably the most important tip…Listen to your photographer! If we feel people are too rowdy or any safety is at risk, we’re not going to be comfortable going ahead with it. Sparklers should be fun and you can get some amazing results. So listen to us as it’s not our first rodeo with sparkler exits ✨❤️

Lastly, 7. Save some for the kids if you have children at your wedding!

Children MUST be supervised by an adult with sparklers, and this is why I personally do not let them hold a sparkler as part of the lineup. They are at a perfect height to catch a very flammable dress on fire as you walk past. So for this reason, save some to do afterwards! ❤️❤️❤️

13/04/2023

I am so in love with being back at work again. Travelling is a big part of my life, but nothing replaces the feeling of loving your job 🥰
Got a little emotional at .7 and James’ wedding at on Monday.

It’s just so fulfilling being able to be such a big part of a couples day. Looking forward to a fantastic year 🥰📷
