- A change of plans inadvertently invents a new type of Lancashire wedding photography…
Sometimes plans change. Take Gemma. She’s marrying Jamie next month (I’ll be at The Villa, Wrea Green to capture the celebrations) and we had a pre-wedding family portrait planned as part of the wedding photogra[...]

- With a Winter Wonderland portrait, your Christmas portrait photography doesn’t have to be Christmassy.
This post is about Christmas portraits, but I figure I’d best explain what I mean by that. You see, mention ‘Christmas portrait’ to some people and thoughts automatically turn to the sort of thi[...]

- Civil partnership and same sex wedding photography – the changing face of Britain, as seen through a lens.
We’ve come a long way. When I started out as a Preston wedding photographer (and it’s really not that long ago) the weddings were exclusively bride/groom affairs, most of the ceremonies [...]

- How can a prop help your wedding photography lift off?
Last week I was in London shooting the wedding of the extremely lovely Katie and Alex. After the ceremony at Islington Town Hall, the wedding party boarded a London bus (what else?) - and from there things took a turn for the impressively[...]

- Discover the power of fancy dress and silly glasses…
Stiff. Formal. Reserved. Choose grand surroundings for your wedding and it’s easy to feel that you somehow have to be on your best behaviour. But this is your wedding. And if you can’t let your hair down then, when can you?
Sometimes tho[...]

- Rachael and Chris’ wedding at Denton Hall, Ilkley provided enough photo opportunities for half a dozen weddings.
You’d think the overcast skies above Ilkley might limit the wedding photography at Rachael and Chris’ celebration. Don’t you believe it. I visit a lot of wedding venues in Lancashi[...]

- You’ve looked at a dozen country halls and houses. You’ve walked the lounges of every likely hotel from Lytham to Lancaster. And still you haven’t found the Lancashire wedding venue for you. If you’re looking for quirky and distinctive (with the added bonus that it won’t break the bank) Bashall Barn[...]

- Warmth. Family run friendliness. And a unique ability amongst Preston wedding venues to transform itself into the perfect location whatever the season. Take a look around Beeston Manor and you’ll see what I mean.
Beeston Manor is particularly close to my heart. You might say that’s because th[...]

- Why choosing a Preston wedding photographer who’s just round the corner from your venue can make all the difference.
A few years ago, I was booked for an overseas wedding shoot. The happy couple and (most of) their families were already strolling the beaches and enjoying the sunshine. The rest of[...]

- Batman, Hulk and Captain America are at the Village Hotel in Cheadle for a wedding. No, it’s not the set up for a joke; it’s a superhero inspired wedding reception.
Just when you think you’ve seen it all. I’ve photographed weddings with pipers, drummers, llamas (or were they alpacas?) and cows. I[...]

- Like airline seats, rail journeys and tickets to see Peter Kay, if you want to guarantee your spot, book early.
Arranging a wedding is like one of those circus acts where the performer has a dozen plates on poles and needs to keep them all spinning so they don’t crash to the ground. Wedding v[...]

- A Preston wedding venue that’s perfectly placed on the fringes of city and countryside. Is Preston Marriott your ideal Lancashire wedding venue?
Take a look at the Preston Marriott website and you’d be forgiven for thinking weddings were only a tiny part of what they do. Even the brochure is[...]
