When the beard just gets in the way!
Dave was helped with his tie by his father-in-law to be, but his beard had other ideas! 🤣

Who says you can’t have a collection of fun images shot in minutes!
Candy and Jonny’s bridal party were a blast and we had such a laugh while doing their group pictures!
We were utterly five minutes taking these photographs and they are fun, energetic and totally captured their friendships!

Beth and Dan wanted to sneak off at some point on their wedding day as they had written eachother private vows.
We saw a perfect opportunity after their wedding breakfast and speeches were finished so I whisked them off to the fabulous outdoor woodland wedding ceremony area the Upper House has and it was just perfect!
So quiet and peaceful and I felt very lucky I got to capture this very special moment.

“What happens if it rains on my wedding day?”
I often get asked this very question and my answer is always “you can’t change the weather so it’s down to you to embrace the day and enjoy it”!
And this is exactly what Lesley and Tom did when they had not only the wettest wedding I’ve ever photographed, but it was also on their family farm!
I have to say it was such a fab day and if I may say the weather dampened NOTHING during the day as they just made sure they had fun!
Fair play and a special mention must go their amazing team of ushers who worked tirelessly to make sure no guests got wet during the meal and delivered over 100 fish and chip dinners through the storm!
(And then helping to tow the chippy van off a very wet field)!

After Jayne and Kev had enjoyed a fantastic afternoon tea after their wedding ceremony, we headed out to the back of Trentham Gardens where the original building still stands!
How amazing is this for a backdrop?
The gardens are a very special place to this couple, so I wanted to make the most of the whole place for them!

Katie and Nick got married a few weeks ago at The Boathouse at Aston Marina.
Albeit a bit windy, they were blessed with blue skies and one of the most amazing sunsets I’ve ever witnessed in the UK.
Here’s a look their day!

I know I post a lot of fun behind the scenes stuff, but I just couldn’t help putting this piece together as Dan saw his grandad for the first time after the ceremony.
Dan’s precious Nan is no longer with him, so seeing his grandad brought all the emotion back to him.
These moments really are important to me to capture in a respectful and un intrusive way. But they are the very important moments that will last a lifetime for the couple and I feel so privileged that I get to document this!

I always like to have a bit of fun when it comes to the bridal party photographs. I never know what I’m going to get from these images and it’s always a laugh going back through them when the time comes to edit!
Laura and Dave’s wedding was no exception and the girls made sure they brought the fun into the pictures!
