Nicola and Dale - The Arden Hotel Wedding Photography

In search of beauty
I've been mulling this subject over in my mind for what feels like an age.
I'm coming to recognise that, as photographers, its a given that we are always in search of beauty. There is always a new idea, a growth in a particular direction or something that we can't quite grasp hold of yet that is calling out to be photographed.

WHY YOUR PRINTS ARE SO IMPORTANT
"We are in a digital dark age", or so the Google's vice president Vint Cerf told us in last Fridays Metro newspaper. Just think now about all the outmoded forms of storage - floppy disks, VHS, even CD's. Try to find a machine that will read these devices... scary! We all love using social media as our go to for sharing our lives - for Birthdays, our children's first steps, our achievements (not to mention our countless culinary feats) and even Wedding photos. Its the quickest

Holly and Alex - Shustoke Farm Barn Wedding
Holly and Alex were married at the incredible Shustoke Farm Barns in July 2015. Not only was I blessed with an amazing couple to photograph, I was given the opportunity to work with the talented Darren Gair Photography. Darren invited me along to photograph his couple and I had such a fun, rewarding day. I don't normally include so many photo's in my blog posts, but I found it really hard to cut down... everywhere I turned there was something beautiful to photgraph. Working w

SARAH AND CHRIS - The Slaughters Country Inn Wedding
Sarah and Chris' intimate wedding took place in the beautiful Slaughters Country Inn over in the Cotswolds. Theirs was one of the most emotional ceremonies I have ever had the pleasure to witness. I managed to hold back my tears for the ceremony (a few escaped) and had a lovely time with their close family and friends enjoying the afternoon sunshine in the hotel grounds. Sarah's beautiful dress was made by Annasul-Y from Grafton Manor Bridal and the delicious nude cake was cr
