Tipis are a really cool place to celebrate your big day, and they fit in really well with the boho/festival style of wedding. they are a great choice for a relaxed couple who are happy to go with the flow and want to enjoy the day without too much formality. Harry and Karina contacted me because they wanted a documentary-style photographer to capture all the fun of their wedding, and I was extremely happy to be involved. The couple were married in their local church by a great old priest who had come out of retirement for the ceremony. The … Read More

After second shooting for Michael at Capture my Big Day a few weeks before, I jumped at the chance to work with him again at Wrenbury Hall in Cheshire. I went to photograph the groom Liam and his groomsman getting ready, and it was a great morning. One of the big advantages of having two photographers at a wedding is that it allows each one to concentrate solely on either the bride or groom. I love photographing the boys, and this was one of the most chilled out mornings I’ve ever photographed. There were loads of great characters, and everyone … Read More

One of the great pleasures of wedding photography is the chances I get to work alongside some of the best photographers and videographers in the North West. Last Summer I got the chance to assist Michael Harper of Capture my big day at the wedding of Josh and Victoria at Alcumlow hall farm. I met Josh at the beautiful old church, St Johns, in Norley where he arrived with his groomsmen. The sun was shining, and I knew it was going to be a great day. An hour or so later Victoria arrived looking stunning, and there was a lovely … Read More

Cote How is situated near the banks of Rydal water which is one of the most picturesque places in the lake district. Stephen and Rachel wanted a very relaxed fairly small wedding where they could celebrate with their family and closest friends. Cote How specialises in this kind of wedding, and as a family run business, the personal touch and great attention to detail made this wedding feel very special. Following the intimate ceremony, it was outside for reception drinks. As you can expect any time in the Lake District, it was raining, but after the shower blew through, we … Read More

Matt and Laura asked me to be the photographer at their wedding, and it was a wonderfully relaxed day, which suits my style down to the ground. The ceremony took place at a beautiful local church, and although it was a very windy day, everyone managed to look amazing, especially the beautiful bride. After some family photos outside the church, we headed to Cranage Hall in Cheshire for the reception. The Staff at Cranage Hall were absolutely lovely, and they made sure everything was perfect for the newlyweds and all their family and friends. The whole day was a great … Read More

The Cragwood Hotel in the Lake District is a wonderful wedding venue to get married in. I was asked by Emma and Tony to photograph their elopement wedding last year, and it was the first wedding of this type that I have photographed. I initially wondered how it would go, but it was actually a wonderful few hours spent with an amazing couple who were truly in love. Following the ceremony, we headed outside to do some photography by the lake. The weather was atrocious that day, but we were lucky and headed out during a break in the rain. … Read More

Last year I worked alongside Matt Warrington Photography capturing a beautiful wedding at The Holford Estate in Cheshire. This was my first time working at this excellent venue, and it was a fantastic chance to work alongside Matt who is an excellent documentary style photographer who works in a very similar way to myself. I was there to photograph the groom getting ready, then assist Matt throughout the rest of the day capturing natural unposed photographs. The Holford Estate is a wonderful place to get marries, and it combines old-world charm with a contemporary feel, which makes it a great … Read More

Last year, I got the opportunity to shadow and assist one of my favourite photographers, a Manchester-based wedding photographer called David Stubbs at a wedding venue in Cheshire called Dorfold Hall. His work is very much documentary in style, with very little interaction on the day, which is how I also love to photograph weddings. I have been a professional wedding photographer for a number of years now, but I always love the chance to work with other photographers whose work I admire. We are always learning, and I feel like I definitely picked up some great ideas from David … Read More
