Can't wait for this pair's big day!  We caught up on one of the crisp winter mornings we've had recently for a wander around Sutton Park and an engagement shoot. I’m often asked what an engagement shoot is and I'd say it's a chance for us to get to know each other better, maybe go for a cuppa, have a giggle and get some fabulous photos to boot! On your actual wedding day, you will be seeing a fair bit of me - dashing around with a couple of cameras, various lenses and possibly a step ladder - so spending some time getting to know each other and practising having a camera following you To View More >>

How lucky have we been with the weather this winter? Amit, Seema and I decided to take advantage of this mild spell and hit Coombe Abbey in Coventry just a week ago for some tea, wedding chat and a little engagement session thrown in for good measure! The sun was low, bright and warm which meant we managed to get rid of our coats and take a wander outside.  If you haven't yet visited Coombe - do! It's a little gem of a place with fabulous grounds to explore. An engagement session is always a good way to do something fun before heading into weeks of planning that naturally comes with weddings!  To View More >>

As we  begin to canter through 2019 I just want to say a massive thank you to all the brides and grooms that have welcomed me into their lives and trusted me to document their weddings in 2018. I’ve had THE best time with your fabulous families and a few firsts this year; a Hindu ceremony, sheep cakes, dogs as flower bearers, kickboxing grooms and jäger bomb dominoes! Plus there’s been the usual things I love about your days; wonderful speeches, many tears, much laughter and a bunch of awesome party people! Here’s a little round up of some of my highlights. I did a To View More >>

'I'd say that we winged it a lot, but as long as you know what's important to you (I spent far more time on the little gifts and the activities for the kids than I did thinking about decorations), you'll enjoy yourself.  And the point is to enjoy yourself!  If it's not going to be fun, you might as well do it with no guests in a registry office, because getting married is quite administrative.  If you want a wedding, make it reflect your personality.'  Gemma Top advice from Gemma! When Gemma and Andrew explained their day I knew I had to shoot it.  Their plan was simple To View More >>

Me: "Would you like an engagement shoot?" Gemma (emphatically): "NO!" Andrew (quietly): "Yes..I think we should" ...and so a date was set. Engagement shoots - I love them and will do anything to persuade a couple to take a stroll with me. Why?  Simply because they are a great way for us to get to know each other better and for me to see what you do and don't like.  What makes you chuckle, what common interests we have and how I can make you relax in photos to ensure we get the most natural, best photos possible on your big day. Andrew was right to insist we did the shoot - and I know To View More >>
