Rachel and Adam

Rachel and Adam are in the same band which mixes rock with opera so their wedding was a mix of the same! Cinderella themed with a huge white castle wedding cake at the traditional Arley Hall, all merged in with skinny suits, pink hair and multicoloured socks!

Verity and Scott

Verity and Scott had an intimate wedding with close family and a few friends at Marylebone registry and then off in black cabs to a restaurant in Mayfair. I was only with them for a short while but it was really touching to see their excitement about getting married. Scott said that the day he first met Verity, he came home and told his Mum he’d met the girl he was going to marry.

Verity is an arty lass with a love of the quirky so she pulled together some fab accessories with some serious bling and blue wooden flowers – who’d have thought they went together but check her out!! Loved it!

Kirsty and Chris

I had a ball with these guys, they were up for all sorts! We explored the back allies of Castlefield and then went onto my favourite Manchester boutique hotel, Great John Street. Convention isn’t their thing so at the end of the night I ended up in their honeymoon suite photographing them in their twin baths! Awesome.

Stephanie and Matthew

Stephanie and Matthew got married at the very grand Chatsworth House. Stephanie is a great animal lover so her dogs attended the wedding looking very cute with flowers on their collars, courtesy of my favourite florist, Mat Hepelstone. He did wonders again surprising the bride and groom with a candy and icecream theme to match the candy pink of the Carriage House reception room. The evening rolled on with chocolate fountains, a candy station and DJ’s from Sankey’s.

oooh, ice sculpture which was the table plan!

Vanessa and Jason

Vanessa was my type of girl, completely hyper! She’s already planning to wear trainers on her wedding day so she can get around for the morning portraits without fussing about her dress. My ideal bride! Jason is her compliment with his grounded strength…but he succumbs well to her playful teasing! With all that energy, Vanessa and Jason were a great couple to photograph…

Emma and Adrian

Emma and Adrian have been grooming their garden for a year in preparation for their wedding and how worth it! A beautiful raj style tent fitted snugly amongst the shrubs for their reception, like an outdoor dining room. Perfect for the lazy summer afternoon feel, helped along by the string quartet perched in the open bay windows of the house.

Lottie and Tom

Lottie and Tom got married in Didsbury and then went onto Hilltop country house in Prestbury. A truly vintage affair with Lottie’s nipped in waist and layers of short tulle dress, bunting, flowers in jam jars and old fashioned hankies for the ladies to dry their tears on. They’re music buffs so all the name cards were uniquely written with lyrics from their favourite songs and Tom kicked off the evening party on the mike, fronting the band, it was all rock n roll baby! The dance floor was rather tricky to light, having blacked out ceilings and walls (bounce flash impossible!) but it gave it a great ambiance to the photos – how cool do the dancing shots look with that retro stripey floor!

Petra and Tom

Petra and Tom got married at Petra’s family home way up north of Glasgow. Her family were so hospitable and I loved staying in their amazing house/castle by the loch. I arrived the night before for the family dinner and a hilarious game of ‘who’s in the hat’. I even got to share a bed with the bride for a her last night as a singleton for late night gossip…don’t worry, don’t get that cosy with all my brides, Petra and me used to share a house!

Kiley and Jamie’s wedding

Back on home turf at Hampton Manor, we had a blazing hot day in the sun. Kiley and Jamie were so chilled (apart from the cravate tying, Jamie!) so were a pleasure to photograph. We had a lovely time in the lazy afternoon sunshine playing with their son Riley, who stole the show!

London protest 5th June: Gaza Flotilla

There was a huge turnout for the London protest. Demonstrators marched from Downing St to the Israeli Embassy to protest against the Israeli attack on the flotilla carrying humanitarian aid to Gaza.
