Wedding portraits don’t have to behave.

Sometimes they’re soft and romantic. Sometimes you hand the wedding party smoke bombs and let them cause a little colourful chaos.

There’s a lovely softness to this part of the day. No big performance, no overthinking it. Just two people, good light, and a few minutes away from the noise.

What style would you like to bring to your wedding day?

Those who know me well know that I ADORE film-noir stylings. It's hits the right balance of elegance and drama that makes my nerdy little heart sing.
It makes me very happy when a couple are willing to let their geek-interests fly.

Rhea & Ryan at Wollaton Hall.

A day with glorious architecture, (plus making this Batman geek very happy) soft moments, a cracking sunset, and plenty of quiet looks between the two people who mattered most.

Wollaton Hall gave us the drama. Rhea & Ryan brought the warmth.

A few favourites from a brilliant wedding day.

A few golden-hour favourites from Aimee & Anthony.

The veil did excellent work, the light behaved itself, and these two brought the right mix of romance and not taking things too seriously.

Tuesday morning micro-wedding today. Jenny & Mike getting married at the lovely West Bridgford registry office. It's a glorious, sunny, morning. I've arrived a wee bit early and am currently basking in sun and watching the squirrels until it's time to work.
Damned fine start to the week.

For Tasha & Lewis, things changed very late in the day — and I was fortunate enough to be able to step in.

No time for overthinking. Just showing up, reading the room, and capturing what unfolded.

And what unfolded was a genuinely beautiful day.

Ed & Roo, a hilltop farm in Northamptonshire, and the sort of wind that deserved its own supplier credit.

A glorious, windswept day full of laughter, confetti, huge skies and two people who made the whole thing feel completely effortless. I’ve been a little quiet on here lately, so this feels like a very good place to start catching up.

A few favourites from a properly fabulous day.

A fabulous day, with glorious weather, at Rachel & Ben's wedding yesterday.
My first ever wedding at a vineyard.
Behind me are some, happily growing, Bacchus grapes.
I look forward to tasting them once they grow up and become delicious wine!!

Oh yeah... It was a good wedding too.. :p
(Wanders off to buy a new wine fridge)
