🌸Fiona & James🌸

Wedding season is picking up speed now and my second wedding of the year was back at my second home, Ness Gardens, with this lovely couple!

The sun shone down on us for their ceremony in the Rock Garden, which was made all the more special because Fiona's dad was the celebrant! The gardens looked stunning as usual and Jen, Naomi and the team made sure everyone (including me!) was well looked after! ☀️

Here are some lovely words from Fiona after getting their sneak peeks! 

"Thank you so much for being part of our day! You made us feel so at ease and comfortable - which is unusual for both of us when there's a camera pointed in our direction! We really felt like we got to enjoy the day, and a big part of that was how you balanced the group/couple shots - I've been to weddings where the couple get whisked away for photos as soon as the ceremony is over, and we both really appreciated getting to relax and chat to people in the garden. And thank you for all the wee check-ins during the day too!
You're amazing! 
My dad also asked me to pass on his thanks - he's done a lot of weddings in his time and said he'd never met a photographer as easy to work with as you - he honestly didn't know you were there when he was doing his thing!"

Feeling the love, thank you F&J! 😘

Happy 1 week anniversary to these two babes! ❤️

I absolutely loved H&L's outfits, not just because they looked incredible, but because they were unapologetically them! 🥳

Everybody should feel comfortable on their wedding day and if that means doing away with "traditional" outfits then bloody well go for it! Also, if you cringe at the thought of doing a first dance, cake cut, speeches or anything else that might be expected at a wedding, then get rid! 👍🏻

Your wedding, your way! 😆

My 2025 wedding season kicked off on Saturday in the best possible way, with the best people! 🎉

Hannah & Limor chose Manchester city centre for their big day, so off I went down the M62 to capture this colourful and fun wedding! 🌈

I met them at the impressive Kimpton Clocktower Hotel where they were getting ready together, before heading off to the registry office to seal the deal! Everything was in walking distance so we were able to stop off for photos pre-ceremony and then afterwards on the way to the celebrations at Feel Good Club. 🥳

The venue is really quirky with a laid back vibe, so suited H&L perfectly, and me too!
The day flowed really nicely and was filled with lovely people, delicious food served buffet style, lots of funny stories and so much love! ❤️

Thank you H&L for choosing me, it was a pleasure to be part of your day and to meet all your wonderful guests! 😘

⭐ Review ⭐

Anna & Dave left me a lovely Google review a little while back, so I thought I'd share it with you (swipe through to read it)!

The couple had a lovely little ceremony at Hope Street Hotel in Liverpool, the light and the views from that room are beautiful! 😍 Afterwards we all spilled out onto the balcony for drinks and confetti with even more views of the city. Did you know you can see both Liverpool cathedrals from there?
Their dog Daisy joined us at that point so obviously I was in my element! 🐶
I gave the couple plenty of time to mingle with their guests and enjoy some fizz and cuddles with Daisy before we headed off to do some portraits.
The party was held at Buyers Club (which you can see from HSH!) so we took a stroll along to the suitcases on Hope St (where the random stranger started chatting to us!) 😂 before heading down Pilgrim Street and round to the venue where they rejoined their guests. I think we were gone for about 20 minutes in total as I knew they were keen to do the speeches and tuck into the delicious food! 🍰

Thank you, Anna & Dave (and Daisy!) it was lovely to be a part of your wedding day! ❤️

I spent a lovely morning with Emily & Joe a few weeks ago at Crosby Beach for their pre wedding shoot! 🌞
We chatted about their plans for the big day at in June while getting our steps in up and down the sand dunes! 😅
A pre wedding shoot is a great way for us to get to know each other before the wedding and relieve some of the nerves around having your photos taken! It's really not as painful as people think! 😄

Could everyone who sees this please take a moment to vote for my couple, they're number 1!? Thanks! 😘

I absolutely love an unruly veil! 😍​​​​​​​​
After walking up the stairs to the roof of Oh Me Oh My because the lift wasn't working, there was no way I was leaving until we got Liv's veil under control! With the help of her best man Ben, we managed to get a few shots before it went off again! 😆​​​​​​​​
Scroll through for the out-takes, which are actually my favourite shots, mainly because I just love Liv's happy face! ☺️​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

✨ Venue spotlight - Cheshire Woodland Weddings ✨

Last summer I had the pleasure of shooting Zoe & Emma’s wedding at this stunning venue! 🌈
If you love the idea of a relaxed wedding set in nature, with your ceremony in the woods and the party in a gorgeous rustic barn; then this might be the venue for you! 🌿
You also don't have to worry about entertaining your guests as there are activities galore available to them. Archery, segway, mini golf, falconry, axe throwing and more! 🪓

I wrote a blog post with loads more info and photos from this colourful wedding, link in my bio 😊

Last month I spent a gorgeous Saturday morning with one of my past couples and their new arrival! ❤️
Steph & Matt were married in 2021 so it was really lovely to see them again, along with their fluffball Woody (who I met on their pre-wedding shoot) and beautiful little girl Cassie 😍
It was so nice to spend a couple of hours catching up over a brew, and getting lots of cuddles from Cassie (and Woody!) Cassie even fell asleep on me, not once but twice. She either found her first photo-shoot exhausting or just really boring! 😆
Steph & Matt, thank you for asking me to capture your precious little girl at this age. I hope to see you all again in the future! ❤️
