THIS IS COOPER TIME! (Again) and it is just as glorious the second time looking back through your images. Guys, this wedding was incredible. I still remember Robins words 'Imagine your dream music lineup... then imagine they got together on the day of your wedding'. They planned their day around this festival, officially a second home for the couple and also somewhere I've been desperate to go to for years. Their whole day was just a massive slice of Terri and Robin pie. Ever

I mean, if ever there were a more elegant couple... Amy and Dave tied the knot at Hanbury Church, followed by a beautiful reception and pretty rawkus party at Redhouse Barn. I've shot at this venue a fair few times now and I love finding pockets of new interest to photograph things slightly differently - for example Amy's shoes here in the fireplace is one of my favourite shoe shots I've created. Anyway, back to the couple... Amy and Dave you look so darn good next to each o

I can barely believe that in a couple of months it will have been nearly a year since Jen and Dom tied the knot, not once but twice at St.Mary's Church, Ludlow and then again two weeks later at The Bond Company in Birmingham. So, here's a little treat for you - two weddings in one post, two dresses and suits, two hairstyles, two venues... in fact pretty much everything changed apart from of course Jen and Dom themselves. This couple are pretty special and have a beautiful rel

As I sit here writing this blog post on New Years Day, a little bleary eyed to say the least, it occurs to me that there is not one part of me that see's this persuit as just a 'job'. This was a choice I made around 5 years ago and I still wake up every day and pinch myself. I am so bloody lucky. I still get nervous for every single Wedding I shoot, but I fully accept that the second I stop getting nervous, my time is probably up. I feel like I'm just getting started and the

Easter Sunday 2018... whilst the rest of the UK was getting their sugar fill, Paddy and Louise were getting their wed on! I first met Louise through working with Caudwell Children, a charity for disabled children and their families. She helps plan once in a life-time trips to Disney Land Florida for 25 of these families and I got to join them on one back in 2016. Louise is incredibly passionate about her work and I believe may have got in contact for her wedding photos based

These two beautiful souls got married in August last year. If someone were to ask me the 'type' of weddings I photograph, I find it literally impossible to describe them, because each and every one is truly individual in they own way. Elle and Lewis are true representations of 'we did it our way'. Elle and Lewis, you are truly wonderful human beings and as a couple, just a dynamite combo. Thanks for having me along on your wedding day and also to Jessica May Ceremonies for de

You may remember Jas and Tani back from 2016 when we began working together. Since then we have had a proposal shoot, an engagement shoot, an engagement party and now their pre wedding parties! Not to mention the other family members who I've also had the opportunity to photograph. Its such a great pleasure having been with them through this whole journey and they are two of the loveliest, kindest people you will meet, not to mention they love a good party. So, here is my qui

I normally head up my blog with an image from the couples portrait shoot - a 20 minute gap in the wedding day where the couple get to hang out, just the two of them (and me), take a breath and chat about the day, be a bit romantic and enjoy a few moments to get papped looking like rockstars. With Anna and Matt, I simply found that this is how they looked all day, whether they were tying the knot under a ribboned tree or chilling on hay bales soaking up the last few minutes of

I first met Abbie and Ross on our Engagement shoot earlier in 2017 after they had made the initial enquiry. Their friendship struck me first and foremost - giggling the whole way through, I knew their wedding would be just the same - and it was - a whirlwind of cute, romantic, loveliness. I knew they wanted everyone to have fun and keep everything lighthearted and high energy. Abbies gorgeous dress was by Martina Liana and I just loved the pretty pinks and blues in her bouque

Charlotte and Buddy's awesome Anglo-American adventure began a few years back in the States, when they both ended up attending the same summer camp, unbeknownst to them at the time how much their lives would change because of this meeting. A few camping trips, kayak expeditions and romantic evenings spent under the stars later, the duo finally got to tie the knot at Nuthurst Grange Hotel in April this year. Both Charlotte and Buddy are teachers, so as you can imagine, everyth

After photographing Jas and Tani's Proposal in Harborne a week or so before, they joined me in a foray around my favourite part of town - The Jewellery Quarter. There's a new place to discover every time I set out with my camera. There also seems to be a new pub every time too, not that I'm complaining. Jas and Tani are also big fans of Jewellery Quarter and the grimy, industrial backdrop juxtaposed perfectly against this gorgeous pair. We took an amble down to the canal with

I loved photographing Dan and Chris's wedding for two reasons. Firstly, because it was fun. Every single guest was there to have a great time and there was no escaping getting involved in the celebration. Secondly, because they had planned their day around all the things that were important to them - it was all about having family and friends together in one place, no pretence, just lots of love and Italian laughter. Their Birmingham registry office ceremony was brimming with

I met Carly and Sam on a visit over from the States a few months before their September wedding at a lovely pub in Cheltenham Spa. It struck me almost immediately how well connected they are as a couple, their thought about the wedding seamlessly in-sync and of course, they were clearly totally in love. As their wedding day came round, I was so eager to shoot at such an beautiful venue with such a fun and romantic couple. They made me feel so incredibly welcome and their fami

Welcome to my 2016 year review. Its almost obligatory for us photographers to do a little run through of their year in weddings and it does always prove quite therapeutic, even through the task seems so mammoth to begin with. Looking back through, I realise the simpler the photo, the more it works for me. I'm not entirely sure what I mean by simple, but perhaps its a sort of purity in connection between the couples, a clean composition and an expression or a moment that doesn

I've known Amy for a little while now, we became friends through our mutual friend Danielle (I think Dan enjoys finding friends called Amy - spelt the right way of course). I had so much fun shooting this wedding, also thanks to one of my best 'tog pals Simon of Simon Brettell Photography, who joined us for their wedding. The couple both made it their mission to make everyone feel MARVELLOUS on their day, I was totally spoilt rotten, thanks so much for being such great hosts.

Jas and Tani's blog posts will be in three parts - they have been so great in booking on three separate occasions for their engagement photos, the first of which took place in Arco Lounge in Harborne, Birmingham. The story goes a little like this... Jas contacted me out of the blue early on in the summer asking if I would be up for photographing a proposal for his now finance Tani. I called him back from a car park and he explained to me his plans to propose at Arco Lounge in

When I met Carol and Paul, it couldn't have been a better day to have met them, personally speaking.. They are a true testament to the fact that love can happen at any point and time in your life...and on this day, at Hogarths Solihull, , 17 years on, it was finally time for them to tie the knot. Their family and friends will understand this sentiment exactly - cheers and whistles during their outdoor ceremony, I get the impression they had been waiting for this day a long ti

Laura and Pete - this was very much your day. From the bottom up, you designed this wedding with every detail of your relationship in mind. The best way I can describe this wedding is Glastonbury in a barn. Their choice in Over Barn, Gloucestershire was just spot on too - they chose one that was just a shell to begin with, one that they could fill with their many musical memories together, with bunting and vintage jam jars, with a photo booth, skittle alley, hoopla, an actual

I had the honour of photographing Wendy and Colin's Golden Wedding Anniversary on Friday (12th Feb 2016) at the gorgeous Hogarths Hotel in Solihull, Birmingham. The room looked just fantastic with beautiful handmade decorations - including tiny cupcakes in glass domes for the guests - made by Wendy's talented daughter. Their Golden Wedding Anniversary was a really fun family event, I was spoilt for choice with moments to capture. If you would like to hear more about my though

I photographed Wendy and Colin's Golden Wedding Anniversary on Friday (12th Feb 2016) at the gorgeous Hogarths Hotel in Solihull, Birmingham. As life quite often goes, the fortune coming to you is just round the corner, but it never shows itself until its certain that you are absolutely deserving of it. I had no preconceived ideas for photos, no idea if Wendy and Colin would be up for an outdoor photo when its (like) Antarctica outside and no idea that I would spot these pr
