Happy 3-month anniversary Moo and Kate!

Back in August they celebrated their wedding at Bilston Brook Wedding Barn near Lichfield. Here are some of the beautiful official shots from Jenny Appleton - thank you Jenny for sharing.


This ceremony was an absolute joy. Moo, Kate and Prim are an adorable family whose love for each other shines brightly.

Moo and Kate wrote their own vows which they kept secret from each other until the ceremony. Needless to say there were some tears!

I absolutely loved getting to know Moo, Kate and Prim, and it was an honour to conduct their ceremony. Thank you so much for choosing me as your celebrant!

Ben and Stella celebrated 10 years of marriage with a vow renewal ceremony at The Saxon Mill, surrounded by family and friends.

It was a real celebration of their love and the family they've raised. Their two daughters opened the ceremony as flower girls, and their son performed an adorable poem which he'd composed especially for the occasion.

Ben and Stella both wrote their own beautiful vows, which got the tears flowing!

Ben, Stella and the children took part in a sand ceremony, where they each added a different colour of sand to the jar to make a lovely keepsake. They chose their own colours to reflect their unique individual personalities,.which blend together to make a family. It's a lovely symbolic action and a great way to get family members involved.

It was a beautiful celebration of love, family and friendship. Congratulations Ben and Stella on your 10th anniversary, and here's to many more!

Reasons why is my go-to photographer to recommend to couples:
1) She's bloody lovely.
2) She has an extraordinary talent for capturing precious moments without you even realising.
3) She gives gentle direction to get the absolute best shots of you and your guests.
4) She will brave the pi***ng rain to get the outdoor shots you've dreamed of.
5) She's as obsessed with coffee as I am.

I can't wait to see the final shots!
Thank you !

Vikki and Dan's wedding at absolutely rocked! 🎸

Being a costume designer, Vikki has a natural flair for style, which was reflected in the decor - stunning jewel shades, bright florals and masks, set against dramatic black. 💜💙🩷🖤

Vikki showcased her skills in making not just one, but three dresses! She looked stunning, as did Dan in his black damask suit. Come back later for more outfits!👰🤵‍♂️

Vikki and Dan are big fans of Schitts Creek, like me. Vikki walked in to "The Best" by Noah Reid, who played Patrick in the show - a very emotional moment! I continued the Schitts Creek theme by paraphrasing Moira's wedding welcome address, complete with the reference to 'bebe crows!' I couldn't help the giggles at this point! 🐦‍⬛😃

Vikki and Dan wrote their own vows, which were heartfelt and hilarious! And to add another comic touch, the music they had while they signed the certificate was 'Crashed The Wedding!'

I've absolutely loved getting to know Vikki and Dan. I met them earlier this year at and they were the lucky winners of my prize draw. Their energy and sense of fun is infectious, and their daft devotion to each other is a joy to see.

It's been an absolute treat to be a part of Vikki and Dan's celebrations. Thank you and for being such dream clients!







I had an absolute blast at Vikki and Dan"s wedding at Highbury Hall. More pics and reels to follow soon!

Let's have a throw back to August, when Ashleigh and Alex tied the knot at the Kitchen Garden Café in Kings Heath, Birmingham. .weddings I love this venue - it's a gorgeous urban oasis, full of rustic character and quirky touches.

The room was dressed beautifully, with lots of flowers and wildlife motifs, reflecting Ashleigh and Alex's love of nature and the outdoors. 🌻🦊

Ashleigh made quite the entrance - not only did she look stunning, but she had her adorable pooch Tilly accompanying her as a ring bearer! 🐶

Ashleigh and Alex wrote their own heartfelt vows, which they presented in beautiful hand-made booklets decorated with dried flowers. 🌼

After exchanging rings, Ashleigh and Alex took part in a handfasting using a beautiful gold ribbon, embellished with beads and charms. As they walked out, they were showered in natural flower confetti - another nod to their love of nature!

It was a beautiful wedding with lots of personal, creative touches. It was an honour to be part of such a special celebration. Thank you Ashleigh and Alex for choosing me as your celebrant and for entrusting me with your celebration.
