Charmouth Wedding Photographer
Charmouth Wedding Photographer Steph and Marco’s Charmouth Just Us photography With everything that’s happened these past few months with coronavirus, it feels like a lifetime ago that I met up with the gorgeous Steph and Marco for their pre-wed Just Us shoot, despite only being earlier this year. Whilst this lovely pair have sadly had to reschedule their wedding until next year, I am thrilled to bits that we managed to at least get them some photographs to keep them going in the meantime. It was a beautifully crisp January morning when I met Steph and Marco down at...
I’m a Bride – Should I make a Speech?!
I’m a Bride – Should I make a Speech?! In 2015 research found that 1 in 5 Brides were planning to make a speech at their wedding. The feminist in me absolutely LOVES it when a bride makes a speech. I actually gave a speech at my own wedding and am so pleased I did. So if you’re thinking “I’m a bride – should I make a speech?!” the answer is – yes! Find out why I think more Brides should consider giving a speech… Equality Weddings are filled with ancient traditions which aren’t relevant to modern day life, one of which is that only men give a speech. These days men and women are...
Dartmoor Wedding Photographer
Dartmoor Wedding Photographer Dan and Amy’s Just Us Shoot at Postbridge, Dartmoor A pre-wed shoot is always great chance to get some practice being in front of the camera, away from the pressures and time restraints of your big day. It’s also a wonderful opportunity for us to get to know each other. As a Dartmoor wedding photographer I absolutely love going somewhere a little wild and wonderful, an opportunity to get to you and gain an understanding about what it is about you and your wedding that’s so unique and special. When Dan and Amy met up on Dartmoor last summer there...
Canonteign Falls Wedding Photography
Canonteign Falls Wedding Photography Luke and Corina’s Wedding at Canonteign Falls Corina and Luke are hands down, one of the sweetest couples I have ever met. They had been together over a decade when they booked me to be their Canonteign Falls wedding photographer for their July wedding last year. Their wedding was the definition of relaxed and informal. They didn’t want a big fuss at all, just a day of celebrating with all their family and friends. When I met up with these guys for their pre-wed shoot just few weeks before they were uber chilled about their upcoming wedding. Canonteign...
Cornwall Elopement Photographer
Carole and Lee's Cornish Elopement It was a beautiful, frosty morning when I set off before dawn to Cornwall for Carole and Lee’s elopement back at the beginning of February. As I trundled through Devon the sun began to rise and it was evident it was going to be a glorious day. When I arrived with Carole, Lee and their children Lara and William at The Headland Hotel at the end of Fistral beach, there was a fizz of excitement in the air as they were all getting ready for the big day ahead. They'd hired one of the adorable little self-catering cottages at the hotel, which overlooked the sea...
The Mill Barns Wedding Photographer
Natalie and Adam's Wedding The Mill Barns Wedding Photographer Do you ever meet someone and just hit it off straight away? Well that’s exactly what happened when I first met Natalie and Adam. This wonderful pair recently set up their wedding stylist business Bespoke Wedding Design and our stands just happened to be next to each other at The National Wedding show at Birmingham’s NEC. One of the most wonderful things about working in the wedding industry is what a warm, friendly industry it is, and I’ve rarely left a wedding show without making new friends. After 3 days of being show...
Rockbeare Manor Wedding Photographer
Luke and Rachel’s Wedding at Rockbeare Manor, Exeter Rockbeare Manor was a new venue to me so when Rachel and Luke asked me to shoot their wedding, I was super excited. It was early September and a warm but cloudy day, the perfect weather for an outdoor wedding – no rain and no risk of overheating either! Rachel got ready in the beautiful and enormous bridal suite at Rockbeare. A big, striking room with lots of gorgeous natural light streaming in from the balcony windows. Rachel was joined by her lovely Mum, two beautiful bridesmaids, one dashing bridesman and her...
Should I Be Given Away at my Wedding?
Should I be “given away” at my wedding? For many women, the idea of being given away by their father on their wedding day fills them with joy and love. It can be a very tender moment between you and your beloved Dad. But what if the thought of this antiquated tradition makes you feel uncomfortable? What if excluding your Mum or Step-parents makes you feel sad? What if you don’t even get along that well with your Dad or your Dad isn’t able to walk you down the aisle? There are so many alternatives to the tradition of being “given away”, even for religious ceremonies. For the modern woman...
Pre-Wedding Shoot on Exmoor
Becky and Matt's Engagement Shoot at St Audries Park,Exmoor When Becky and Matt asked me if they could bring their little dog Rolo along on their pre-wedding shoot I was over the moon! I knew Rolo wasn’t very old so was excited to chat all things Puppy with them having recently got our cocker spaniel puppy Ted. I have to say, at the time Rolo seemed like a dream by comparison to my excitable cocker spaniel puppy, she was impeccably well behaved – even when we marched through a field of wheat 4 times her height! At the time, Becky and Matt were super busy planning...
