Harry & Serena 🤍

A lovely wedding and a gorgeous young family unit.

I loved capturing all the little moments that made their day theirs – the smiles, the laughter, the people and everything happening naturally around them.

And as an added bonus, I got to have a proper catch-up with a work colleague too!

A lovely August day, great weather, great people and another reminder that wedding photography is about so much more than just taking photographs.

It’s about people, connection and capturing how a day actually felt.

Thank you, Harry and Serena, for letting me be part of it. ❤️

📸 50 (that's 5 oh!) FIVE-STAR REVIEWS! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Okay… I’m allowing myself a little bit of trumpet blowing today! 🎺

I’m incredibly proud to have reached over 50 five-star reviews, but do you know what makes me happiest? They’re not just about the photographs, they’re also about me!

I’m a down to earth Yorkshire lass! Helpful, organised and relaxed in my approach. I’ll help you work out what you need, answer all your questions, and most importantly, I’ll make the photography as much fun as possible to get those natural, genuine photographs that capture you.

So this is me recently at Oliver's Mount Road Racing! I struggled to find a photo of myself! The irony I know!

Thank you to every person who has trusted me, booked me, recommended me or taken the time to leave a review.

50 five-star reviews… I’m pretty chuffed! ❤️

💍SURPRISE PROPOSAL NUMBER 6! 💍

And this one was extra special because my lovely couple had travelled all the way from Texas to Whitby! 🤠❤️

Dakota had planned the perfect surprise at St Mary’s Church, and I had the very important job of being there with my camera… and trying not to look suspicious! 😂📸

And then… SHE SAID YES! 🥰💍

Once the surprise was out, we headed off for a little Whitby adventure — wandering down the famous 199 Steps, onto the beach and along the pier. What a place to get engaged!

It was such a lovely way to celebrate their new engagement, capturing those lovely natural moments between them.

I love my job! I honestly don't think I'll ever get bored of being part of these moments! 🥰 I've added a couple of behind the scene shots this time too!

Planning a surprise proposal in Whitby or along the North Yorkshire coast?

I'd love to help you capture it without them knowing a thing! 🤫📸

Another wedding — and this one was all about love, family, friendship and bringing two families together❤️

It was lovely to be back at beautiful Sneaton Castle for another gorgeous wedding, celebrating two families coming together and starting a new chapter.

There was so much love throughout the day, with grandchildren sharing in the celebrations and old friends coming together to enjoy the occasion and make new memories.

There were hugs, laughter, happy tears, lots of catching up and plenty of moments that I was very happy to capture.

Sneaton Castle made the most beautiful backdrop, but as always, it was the people, the connections and the stories behind the day that made it so special.

A wonderful wedding, a lovely couple and a fantastic group of family and friends. I absolutely loved being part of it! 📸❤️

A Gentle Giant 🐾❤️

Meet the gorgeous Mr Lisko!

Through Caring 4Critters, I was lucky enough to meet this lovely couple who already do some amazing work with seal rescue. They asked me to photograph their gorgeous boy, and I absolutely loved it!

Mr Lisko is a gentle giant who was rescued from abroad, and honestly… he seemed to smile his way through the whole shoot! 😍 He has such a lovely nature and the most wonderful expression. You could really see just how happy and content he is, and that made photographing him even more special.

I love dog photography for exactly this reason – it's about capturing them, their character and their expressions, moments that you can remember forever.

And Mr Lisko definitely had plenty of character!

What a gorgeous boy. ❤️🐶

Thank you for letting me spend some time with him – I loved it!

Remember a donation from your animal shoot goes towards Caring4Critters.

Two families. One new chapter. One very special wedding. ❤️

This beautiful wedding at The Cove in Robin Hood’s Bay wasn't just about two people getting married. It was about bringing two family units together and creating one new family, surrounded by the people they love most.

And what a location to do it!

Robin Hood’s Bay gave us the most incredible backdrop, with the sea, the village, the Yorkshire coastline and all the little details that make this place so special.

We had a wander through the streets, lots of chatting and laughter … and an ice cream at the end 🍦 Honestly, I think every wedding should have an ice cream reward!

It was such a lovely, relaxed day filled with laughter, family, love and some very special memories.

And I'm incredibly grateful I got to be there to capture it. ❤️

🏍️ C**k O' The North... what a weekend! 📸

Back at Oliver's Mount this weekend, and it was flipping brilliant as always!

I love returning to photograph one of my favourite places. Amazing racing, fantastic action and, best of all, catching up with so many friendly, familiar faces again.

A huge thank you to everyone who makes these events what they are. I'm looking forward to the next one already!

See if you can spot yourself! 👀📸

Here's a little sneak peek from a truly wonderful wedding at Sneaton Castle a couple of weeks ago.

Some weddings leave a lasting impression, and this was definitely one of them ❤️ with two of the loveliest people you could ever meet.

The heat was certainly doing its best to challenge us, but everyone took it in their stride, and together we created some beautiful memories (with plenty of shade and water breaks along the way! ☀️).

One moment I'll never forget was when the newlyweds were announced as husband and wife... I honestly don't think I've ever heard a cheer quite like it! The roar from their family and friends was absolutely incredible and said everything about how loved they both are. I cried, the first of a few that day!

Days like this remind me just how lucky I am to do what I do. Meeting wonderful people, sharing in such an important chapter of their lives and capturing genuine moments of love, laughter and happiness is something I'll never take for granted.

A huge congratulations to both Becky and Tom, thank you again for allowing me to be part of your amazing day. Wishing you a lifetime of love, laughter and many more unforgettable moments together. ❤️

There's something truly special about watching the sun set.

Last week I had the pleasure of helping someone discover how to capture the colours, light and atmosphere of one of my favourite views. Seeing that moment when everything 'clicks' and their confidence grows is just as rewarding as taking the photograph itself.

I feel incredibly lucky to call this beautiful coastline home and even luckier that I get to share it with others through photography. Whether you're picking up a camera for the first time or simply want to see Whitby from a different perspective, every session is relaxed, friendly and at your own pace.

If you've ever fancied learning a few tips while exploring this amazing coastline, my Whitby Wander photography sessions are always about enjoying the experience, appreciating the scenery, and discovering just how much fun photography can be.
