  • 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.

  • How a motif can make the shot…

  • …And 3 other reasons Michelle & Grant’s St Annes wedding photography was a joy. Motifs are the recurring themes or tropes an artist or photographer might use in their images. I like motifs because they connect images in subtle (and sometimes not so subtle) ways, making a project feel ‘joined [...]
  • 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[...]
  • Wild wedding photography

  • It’s windy, wet and wild outside – and it’s your wedding day. Here’s proof that it doesn’t have to matter one bit... Something happens to weddings when the weather decides it’s not going to play ball. You spend your week(s) before the big day checking the long range forecasts and begging Toma[...]
