The date is set, the venue is booked and now you're probably thinking about how you're going to entertain your friends and family on your wedding day. It might sound silly suggesting that you need to...

I've just come home from a 24 hour visit to Paris. I know you're probably thinking I'm mad but there's method to my madness. My best friend Nici and I haven't had a night out in YEARS. We've had four children between...
Elena and I had known each other virtually since 2011 when we both found out we were having babies in March 2012 and joined an online community for pregnant people having babies in the same month. We'd stayed in touch...
I'm trying so hard to keep the blog up to date as well as ploughing through editing in the peak of wedding season... It's hard, but this wedding was a blinder and I couldn't wait any longer to write about it! When I...

A unique wedding venue in the Leicestershire Countryside If I could get married again, a tipi wedding would be a serious contender; I don't think you can beat the way a tipi transforms at dusk and after dark they're...
When I meet prospective clients to talk about their wedding, I can never stress to them enough the importance of my job getting not getting in the way of their day. Weddings are expensive and likely the only time in...
What I have struggled with most as my photography work load has increased is retaining the love for my camera for personal use. When you've walked around at a wedding with two DSLRs on all day it can be really hard to...
I'm a girl who has the sea in her blood; I grew up in Norfolk and took living near the coast for granted. Now that I'm smack bang in the middle of the country, I literally couldn't be further from the coast if I tried...
My editing screen has been filled with gorgeous winter weddings for the fast few weeks, which is no bad thing, but it was definitely time to hop back to August... When I realised I hadn't yet mused upon this wonderful...
Despite being a creative, I think I really lack vision for turning unusual spaces into party spaces, so when Vix and Tom showed me where they were planning to hold their wedding reception, I struggled to picture what...
Natalie and Josh are SO MUCH FUN, and when they emailed to book in their prewedding session and told me they wanted alternative engagement photographs that would really contrast with their wedding pictures, I knew that...

Reeeeeewiiiiiiind back to July (I know, how long ago does summer feel right now?!) and I was shooting super close to home in Corby for Caity and Sean's wedding at The Raven Hotel. These guys married in the same week...
