Mr & Mrs Darke, wed at Cripps and Co’s Derbyshire wedding venue, Grangefields this June. A stunning venue surrounded by countryside on the historic Trusley Estate. With the breathtaking architecture of the ceremony barn to the rustic, modern black corrugated dining space, Adele and Keifers monochrome and nude styling with florals from The Lanes was the perfect addition to make their wedding the vision they had always wished for.

As I arrived at Norwood Park in Nottinghamshire on 21st May, I couldn’t help but feel excited. The sun was beaming down as I drove up the long sweeping driveway and I couldn’t believe how perfect the setting was for Stacey and Luke’s summer wedding. I am so blessed to have such a beautiful venue so close to home!

Prestwold Hall in Loughborough created the picture perfect setting for Holly and Steve’s wedding day this May. The Regal and Classic styling was encompassed by the gilded gold accents within Prestwold and primarily by Holly’s stunning dress.

Sparkler shots are one of my favourite additions to a wedding day. I have been photographing weddings for 7 years and the love for sparkler images never fades.

So, whilst sparklers add such a fun addition to your wedding day and create some pretty cool photographs, here I am being the fun police and probably stating the obvious. However, all the below points are really important to consider if you’re having sparklers on your wedding day! At the end of the day, I just want to make sure you’re safe whilst getting these amazing images.

James and Kate’s DIY, country, rustic wedding at their farm in Leicester was a highlight of my year. From the handmade table centre pieces, tweed bowties to the tractors as transport, if you’re going to have a farm wedding this is how you do it!

A welsh countryside estate, nestled in the Brecon Beacons national park, lies Ambercamlais. A home that has been passed down generations and is now being enjoyed by the family to celebrate their children as they marry. 

What you’ll notice pretty quickly about Matt and Ellie is how much they love to laugh together. Their wedding was full of hilarious moments from start to finish, they giggled through their vows and partied together like it was their last night on earth.

Planning the timings of your wedding can be really daunting! So I have written this blog to help you start…

Firstly consider a rough outline of timings for each part of the day, and how this fits around your ceremony time!

Below is a sample timeline based on how to get the most out of your day. All of the below is from my experiences after photographing over 150 weddings.

When Jourdanna and Shabaz’s enquiry dropped into my inbox I squeeled with joy. I had known Jourdanna since we were teenagers at school, and had grown up with her and her triplet brother and sister. So this wedding was a little bit more special to me than most… not having favourites or anything!

The beautiful wedding of Alex and Thomas at Primrose Hill Farm. Nestled in the beautiful Cotswolds, Primrose Hill Farm exudes class, rustic countryside and farmhouse elegance. Every time I see the picturesque farmhouse as I drive into the venue I get all giddy with excitement knowing I’m in for an amazing day.
