  • An African wedding near Harrogate

  • Welcome to the most joyous wedding of the year. If you’d have been wandering through Braisty Woods near Harrogate last week, you’d have come across something rather unexpected. It wasn’t simply the fact that there was an outdoor wedding in progress – with a grand marquee dominating a field be[...]
  • The photographers’ wedding photographer

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

  • When a wedding photographer says they will “capture the story of your day”, what exactly do they mean? Well, with a little help from Nicola and Darren, it goes something like this… Arriving at the wedding location Early April, Eaves Hall, near Clitheroe. It’s been a while since I was here fo[...]
  • Last minute at Last Drop

  • Emilia and Chris tie the knot, literally, at Last Drop Village. I get lots of calls about late availability. Sometimes the planned photographer falls ill. Sometimes plans change.

  • Spring wedding photography at Mitton Hall

  • Claire and Paul’s wedding was a classic case of having to stay on my Lancashire wedding photographer toes… Not that that was anything to do with Claire and Paul, or their guests – at what was a lovely, warm and wonderfully enjoyable wedding. But the Lancashire weather (April showers and all t[...]
  • Shooting the wedding before the wedding

  • Last-minute wedding photography in Preston as Jenny and David formalise their marriage vows. You’re about to hold your wedding on a sun-kissed beach. But what happens when the overseas wedding you’ve got planned isn’t actually legal for UK purposes? That was the situation facing Jenny and [...]

  • A big Xmas thank you

  • Thanks for choosing me as your Lancashire wedding photographer this year… I don’t often look back at the weddings I cover – there’s rarely time as there’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 more… civil

  • At one of my first Preston wedding photography shoots of the year, I’m reminded just why I enjoy civil wedding ceremonies so much. It’s appropriate really, that my first wedding shoot of the year took place at the Lancashire wedding venue where I think I’ve spent more time than any other over[...]

  • My Lancashire wedding venues – Shaw Hill

  • A year round Lancashire wedding venue, and a great backdrop for your wedding photography. Discover Shaw Hill in Chorley. I’m going to go out on something a limb here.
