As my 2024 wedding season comes to an end and I wrap up the last edits on the final wedding gallery, I’ve found myself reflecting.
~
This past year has been one of the quietest since I started my little business 15 years ago, which has meant it has been the most stressful (not including the Covid years). The drop in bookings has been both a positive and negative. Positive because I’ve been able to spend some much needed time with family and my little boy but negative because…well…bills! 😣
It’s been a tough one mentally but the quietness has meant that I’ve been able to learn what works for me and my little business and I’ve really been able to devote time to each of my couples and their wedding days without feeling like I’m juggling too much. It’s meant I’ve really been able to get to know each and every couple and their wedding plans and have even come away with some of you becoming very good friends ☺️ I am so appreciative of every single one of you. Your weddings have been amazing and the photos I’ve captured, I feel have been some of the best I’ve ever created.
~
Looking back at all the lovely weddings this year I feel like I’ve finally reached a work/life balance that suits our little family. So from 2025 I’ll be raising my package prices and will be limiting bookings to just 20 weddings a year.
So if you’ve enquired or been thinking of enquiring, now’s your chance. I’m already 90% booked for 2025 already and come January 1st my prices will be raised.
Here’s to another fantastic year of celebrating love 🥰 I can not wait for 2025 ❤️

Let’s try and find the owner ❤️

🖤 Can you help to solve a romantic mystery at The Forest Distillery, this Valentine’s Day? 🖤

Apparently, someone's love story took a surprising turn when they lost their diamond ring in one of our cosy sofas here at the Cat and Fiddle Inn. Forget Cinderella's slipper, we've got a precious gem on our hands!

So, dear weasels, if you think you may have lost this piece of jewellery during a cuddle on our sofa during a distillery tour or tasting, fear not, we're playing Cupid today, hoping to reunite this sparkling beauty with its rightful owner for a Valentine’s Day miracle.

Help us play matchmaker. Please share far and wide so that we can turn this into a modern-day love story. 🖤

If you think this may be your ring, please DM photographic evidence to us. If no one claims it, it will be donated to East Cheshire Hospice.

It's that time of year again where I get to catch up with my couples for their engagement shoots. We kicked off the year braving the rain with Daniel and Naomi at the gorgeous Tissington Hall for their shoot the other week and I couldn't resist popping a little blog together of their photos 🥰
