Her dad walked through and I heard the gasp. The emotions washed over his face as he saw his little girl ready for her big day. He rushed over and his face said it all.

It's a huge pleasure to capture these moments for my clients, but more than that, it's a memory that I know they will be able to look back on and relive forever.

Because I don't only photograph the ceremony, the exchange of vows and speeches, but all the little moments before, in between and after, the facial expressions and emotions that make your day as special as it can be. I capture all the things you want to remember and don't yet know you want to remember.

What moment means the most to you?

Destination weddings are back, and back in style.

The joy and adventure that they involve is always enticing and it's an exciting day for all involved, bride, groom and guests.

Add to that the beauty of Italy, a boat, and glorious sunshine, and the few minutes alone turn into a magical moment.

I can't imagine being in a more breathtaking place this past weekend and I can't wait to share more of the memories we captured.

I often get asked at weddings how I know the bride and groom, because I spend a lot of time building trust with my couples before the day.

But in Daniel's case, we have known each other since early on in secondary school and it's been an emotional rollercoaster looking through his and Lisa's beautiful day.

I love what we as photographers give to our clients.

The best memories of the best day all packaged up in pictures, prints and a beautiful book with a bow on top.

This really is the best job in the world.

Spring brings with it new beginnings, new hopes and dreams.

What better time to start your married life together?

The joy of the day was almost tangible in the room at Becky and Henry's wedding.

So many weddings were affected over the last 2 years, but with nearly 90% of their guests coming from other countries to attend their special day, it was a day full of first-time meetings, first-time hugs and putting faces to names.

Congratulations ♡

"What if it's cold, windy or rainy on our wedding day?" All such valid concerns in the UK and one the Hannah and Jamea shared.

So we made we made wet weather plans and decided on different portrait locations depending on the weather, and then enjoyed the glorious sunshine that inevitably happens when you bring an umbrella.

I'm so glad I did, because that light and warmth came at just the right time to bathe .rothery and James in golden dusk light.

So make your wet weather plans, because you never know, but then be ready for the sun to grace your wedding day just as you'd always hoped, and I'll be there to capture it all.

Don't get close to the dress!

I'm finally on my last wedding edit from last year and it's a mammoth. Such an enjoyable one thought, sprinkled with the funniest moments like these!

Those puppies were definitely keen to have a closer look 🙈but their owner kept them well away.

Before I bow out for this year, here's my final thought.

Every year for the last 5 years I have wished for nothing but a better year ahead. Through the year of my mum's illness and death, to the year of my friend's death, to the last 2 years of not seeing my family, it hasn't worked out that way.

Sh*t's going down and it looks like it's going to keep going.

So.

Let's embrace the s**t, stand tall, grab it by the horns and face it head-on together.

It won't always be fun. It will often be hard. You might cry. I'll definitely cry. But lean on me and on the people you feel most comfortable with and we'll get through it.

Thank you to all the suppliers, partners, colleagues and clients for letting me be part of your business, life and wonderful sessions. You have often been the highlight of my year.

Thank you to my family. For the support, love, hugs, and laughter. You are the best part of me.

Here's to 2022. No resolutions, just a different wish this time.

I wish to see you all more. I wish to have more sessions, cups of tea and glasses of wine with you. I wish we will embrace, laugh, hike, play table tennis and dance more.

Happy New Year.
