When I was just a girl with a camera who dreamt of being a photographer, I totally relied on willing friends to let me take photographs of them... I guess it was a winner for them, but so much of my experience behind...
The warmth of summer is a distant memory, the frosts have arrived and wedding season has just about come to an end. No rest for the wicked as my attention turns to whizzing around Northamptonshire (and further afield!)...
Autumn is firmly here, the wediting list is getting shorter but there's so much good from the summer that I've not had a moment to share on the blog, so Friday evenings are officially all about catching up and holding...
Over the last year I've become increasingly interested in the spontaneous stuff that happens at wedding and really enjoy the informal parts of a wedding day and all the fun that candid photographs bring. Most of the...
Goodness me, it seems like weeks and weeks since I last blogged! I bumped into Stevie and Cory this morning so it seems pretty appropriate to share some photographs of their amazing wedding at Barton Hall last month. I...
Oh my days. Lost for words, although I know that for many of you that'll be hard to believe. Behold the wedding of Meg and Neil, a day that included a handfasting, a Firebolt, a pudding table, face painting, a fire pit...
Hannah and Dan got married last month and IT. WAS. AWESOME. Their wedding was held in their church in Kettering, before driving across my favourite part of Northamptonshire for their reception at Highgate House. In the...
Cranford Hall - the most serene of wedding venues Jo and Paul, where to begin? Such gorgeous people in beautiful surroundings, thoughtfulness, belly laughs and the best cocktail sausages I have ever eaten. I...
Kim & Rich's wedding at the Mercure Newton Solney will definitely be a memorable day for me... Why? Because in 2016, it's not about the odd wet wedding, it's about the odd dry one... A dry one even though the...
Delighted that the folks over at Wedisson have awarded one of my images from Nick and Rob's No6 St Chads Place wedding as part of the 16th collection. Do pop over to the blog to see more from their day; so much awesome...
I had a gorgeous email last night from Sam and Nicola. They tied the knot last month with just seven guests at Oakham Registry Office before celebrating their wedding with an intimate meal in a private dining room at...
WHERE DO I BEGIN?! A day that threw tradition and convention out of the window, a day that celebrated everything about the two of them, a day where love poured out of everyone and everything. I knew when Nick emailed...
Here in Corby, we're often referred to as a town as Little Scotland. My neighbours' kids are third generation scots who have lived here all their life yet they speak with what, on the face of it sounds like a thick...
Bateman's Barn: A dream wedding venue There's something I really love about photographing our friends, so when Katy & Si asked me to photography their wedding at Bateman's Barn I was absolutely delighted. Si went...
As weeks go, last week was a pretty good one; three awesome weddings and my first Wedisson award! Of course my job isn't about winning awards, but when couples are delighted with their images AND their photographs are...
I love engagement photography (or pre-wedding photographs as I often call them) for so many reasons. Stevie and Cory's shoot last week, in a field of oilseed rape, somewhere near the Northamptonshire/Leicestershire...
I had a blast photographing Jo and Adam's wedding last month at Jo's home church of St Margaret's, Stoke Golding followed by a reception at the Sir John Moore Foundation in Appleby Magma. Back in 2014 I photographed...
Emma and Sean married in February at Donington Park Farmhouse Hotel in Derbyshire. They fell in love with their venue because of it's rustic charm and decor which embraces its agricultural roots. After a break from...
If you were concerned about rain on your wedding day, Peta & Rich are the couple to prove the weather won't put a dampener on your day - or photography! They married a couple of weeks before Christmas at Oakham...
So here we are. The first blank page in the book of 2016. A great time to reflect on all that has been and think about what lies ahead. 2015 was the year that changed my life. I started it as a secondary school music...
At this time of year everyone likes to reflect on what a year it's been, and I'm shouting from the rooftops about 2015. Of course, I'm over the moon with how business is going, but there's other reasons why this year...
I've been wanting to write this post for a couple of weeks now, but I held off as I was struggling to put a lot of what I wanted to say into words, and there was someone I needed to thank in person first. Now that...
I can't believe it's been two weeks since the East Midlands round of The Wedding Industry Regional Finals. Folk who keep in touch with me on social media will know that there was stiff competition here in the East...
My camera is heavy. Its a beast. On the whole I'm so used to carrying two cameras around at weddings, so going out with one doesn't bother me. But now that we are a pram free household and running around with two kids...
I love photographing our friends, so I was really touched when Si and Katy asked me to be their wedding photographer. Si went to uni with my husband and was one of his groomsmen, so it's lovely to get to be a part of...
I can't recall exactly when the planning started, but it must have been back before the summer. While chatting with my lovely friend Sian from Elysian Weddings & Events I got a real itch to throw a styled shoot...
There is absolutely no denying that I have the sea in my blood. I feel at my most content by the sea; I don't care how cold I am, how messed up my hair is or how out of breath contending with the terrain underfoot...
I love Autumn. If I could pick a season for all year round, it would definitely be Autumn. The nights are drawing in, everything's a little bit more cosy, the knitwear comes out, and the colours are my absolute...
To start my double header of a bank holiday weekend back at the end of August, I travelled down to Worcestershire to photograph Tim and Sophie's wedding at the foot of the beautiful Malvern Hills. I didn't feel too...
Waaaay back in August, I had the complete and utter pleasure of being the photographer at Kerri and Ashley's Somerset wedding; and it was exactly that, because the various components of the wedding took place in...
It seems a life time ago now, but way back in June after a week of wet weather, the sun came out in full force for Jade and Richard's beautiful Barton Hall wedding. Having had our own wedding reception at Barton's...
A pre-wedding shoot, sometimes called an engagement shoot, is something that I offer all my couples these days, and I've had very few turn down the offer after I've taken a few moments to explain why I think they're...
Back in the time before photography became my full time career, I used to write a blog. My blog was primarily a record of what was going on in my children's lives and my parenting successes and fails, littered with...
*or don’t, if you hate awkward conversations… Emails are a great place to start and I’d love to hear more about your wedding plans, how many dogs you own or indeed your best air fryer recipes…
