Love, Laughter & Destination Weddings...

2015 is off to a fantastic start but I thought I'd take 5 minutes out to say hi! So we started the year with a fantastic spread in the beautiful Image magazine as well as one of our pictures making it to the front page.

We're currently working with a fantastic bridal accessories designer, Miss Clemmie, who'll be launching her brand new website in the next couple of months - if you're a bit of a magpie keep them peeled, I guarantee you're going to love it...

Sunday 22nd March sees the return of The Vintage Wedding Gala at The Guildhall, Northampton. There will be a host of creative, luxury and bespoke wedding suppliers there on the day so if you're in the midst of wedding planning come down and join us. We'll be there again and this one proves to be even more awesome as there will be a live, catwalk show as well as some amazing suppliers from florists, to cake makers, stationery designers to vintage inspired videography...

2015 will be taking us to international shores again including Florence - Italy, Sweden and back to the USA. If you're having a destination wedding get in touch! We love to travel and it won't cost as much as you think...

One of my New Year resolutions was to find the time to blog more so until next time...

2014 - What A Year!

2014 has a been a fantastic journey for me. I've been to some amazing locations including Lake Como, Los Angeles, San Francisco and have been lucky enough to meet some amazingly talented people. But it's not over yet. One of the highlights of the year for me as a photographer was to see one of my photos on the front page of a magazine - what better end to the year than to have another portrait of mine chosen for the front page of January's Image Magazine. This shoot was at the beautiful Kelmarsh Hall, situated in the Northamptonshire countryside and was a dream venue to work in. The full article is in January's Image Magazine and the behind the scenes video will be online very soon.

The lovely Daisy from Fairytale Weddings selected some fabulous bridal gowns from Ellis, Blue by Enzoani and Ian Stuart, all from their most recent 2015 ranges.

Fairytale Weddings...

Who doesn't want to feel like a princess on their wedding day? Today we've been at the beautiful Kelmarsh Hall in Northamptonshire, on a fairytale inspired bridal shoot for Image Magazine. We were lucky enough to feature dresses by Ian Stuart, Blue by Enzoani and the latest offerings for 2015 from Ellis bridal, The Rose Collection. Oh, and a little bit of fairy sparkle thrown in. Look out for the January issue of Image to see the whole shoot in full, for now here's a sneak peek of Ellie in the breathtaking style 12215 dress...

The Wedding Dream Team - Image Magazine - September & October 2014

It's a funny old thing working in the wedding industry. You're lucky enough to be involved in one of the most important days of peoples lives and with that comes a big responsibility. Over the last couple of years I've met some amazingly talented women that have forged their careers in everything bridal, so you can imagine how excited I was when they got to be in front of the camera for a change.

First we had the gorgeous Joanne Tromans - freelance make up artist not just to brides but to the stars! Joanne has worked with many beauties including Una from The Saturdays but we reckon she should be in front of the camera more often! 

Adrianna from Wattles florist is somewhat of a botanical genius. Her fantastic eye for colour harmonies teamed with a supreme skill at arranging has boosted her to the top of the most wanted florists list for 2015. 

If you're shopping for your wedding dress and you haven't been to Fairytale Weddings in Towcester you're missing out! With a stylish selection including the likes of Belle and Bunty, Mooshki and Ian Stuart, they've got something to suit every bride. Daisy (pictured) runs the store with her sisters and the relaxed, family atmosphere comes across when you step in the shop. 

Stacey has been working with hair since leaving school and I like to think of her as the 'up-do Queen'. Have a sneaky peek at her Facebook page for lots of wedding hair inspiration. 

Thanks to the fabulous Image Magazine for featuring us not once but twice! And no, your eyes don't deceive you, that is me in those group shots. I think I'll stick to behind the lens from now on! Don't forget to check out these lovely ladies and be sure to book the Dream Team that's right for your big day...

Every Wedding Is An Adventure...

...and every day is a school day. I'm a firm believer in constantly learning new skills and honing your craft which was the main reason I ventured to Lake Como in Italy this week with the wedding photographer extraordinaires  Ed Peers and Nirav Patel. The other was the hope I'd bump into George Clooney. Maybe next time George...

Thanks galore going out to Ed & Nirav as well the 15 other ridiculously talented wedding photographers that attended from all over Europe. A fantastic couple of days and some lifelong memories and friends gained. Until next time, it's arriverderci Italia x
