Welcome to the blog! Here you’ll find recent weddings, wedding planning advice, personal posts about travel & life and advice from my past couples.
The topic on the blog today is something that’s been bugging me all summer long. I’ve written about the positives on unplugged weddings before and I am so happy that they’ve had a huge upturn this year with lots of my couples having one – and even making cool signs to say so!
Read MoreAfter working in the wedding industry for nearly 5 years it regularly aggravates me how much bullshit there is that’s angled to make the bride feel like she is not enough as she is, and how now she is a ‘bride’ there is even more of an expectation (and let’s be frank, normal every day life is just enough) to look million dollar perfect. And by that I mean like the size 0 air brushed models plastered on the front of the magazines. There’s lists about body scrubs and facials and pedicures and tanning and diet plans – the list goes on. You might think the one day of your life you are marrying someone you adore and who adores you, you might be free from that kind of pressure but in fact it is just multiplied.

Sadly my mum passed away very suddenly in March 2018. She always reminisced about how much she enjoyed our wedding day and I really cherish a particular photo that you took of the two of us (above). Throughout the day, you managed to capture the sheer delight she felt and the fun she had, particularly on the dance floor! Ironically, we asked you to focus on taking some photos of my nan and, at 92, she is still going strong!

As you know we avoided looking at the photos & video whilst on our honeymoon but when my gran went in to hospital, I sent it over so that she could be shown it. You actually capture a bittersweet moment of her telling me that she had been so worried that she wouldn't make the wedding and that she was so glad she had. So thank you.”
Read MoreIt’s been wonderful to see that my couples love the photos as much as I do and also that as well as a valuable experience and investment in their photos on the day they have so many to share with friends and family too.
I talk more about this over on my Snap & Chat blog post but it’s always such a useful things to do to help the day run smoothly and build the trust in me as a photographer. And don’t worry - 90% of my couples feel super apprehensive before hand… but I always get the loveliest emails afterwards!
So after a chilly winter I thought it was the perfect time to write a guide helping couples plan a winter wedding. There's a few things to consider when planning a wedding between Nov-Feb that don't apply when planning a summer weddings, especially from a photographic perspective and I wanted to write a bit about how to get the most out of your wedding day. All photos from Ross & Tara's December wedding.
