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.

The Pantone colour of the year is Peach, and it’s a beautiful choice for weddings in the Spring and Summer. I recently had the opportunity to do a photo shoot at Norwood Park in Nottinghamshire, and I knew it was the perfect setting to showcase this gorgeous colour.

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!

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!

Engagement shoot at Bradgate Park in Leicester, a location where Kate and James regularly walk their beautiful dog Barley. She was so well behaved throughout and we got some beautiful golden hour sun!

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!
