No huge guest list. No fuss. Just a room full of love, laughter and genuine happiness.

One of the things I love most about intimate weddings is how personal they feel. You get more time with your nearest and dearest, more meaningful conversations, and more opportunities to simply enjoy the day.

And honestly? Looking at these smiles, I think they got it exactly right. ❤️ #

Guess the venue…

Bonus points if you’ve booked your wedding here 😅

A few little moments from one beautiful wedding day… confetti chaos, lakeside strolls, cuddles with the little ones, and a sneaky night shot to finish 🌒

A truly iconic Essex wedding venue…

Who recognises it first? 👀

This ain’t no April Fools joke…

Noah’s turned my brand into Minecraft blocks because of my purple socks 🧦💜

Not sure if I’ve been rebranded…
or just overruled by a 7-year-old 😂

Honestly… he might be onto something 👀

Deepslate Gold
Noah: “I like gold, you should have more.”
Ash: 12+ years in business… I’ve got you covered 😄

Purple Wool
Noah: “Because of your purple socks, you should wear them at weddings.”
Ash: Fair… purple is basically my brand colour anyway 💜

Blue Glazed Terracotta
Noah: “You like patterns like that on your shirt.”
Ash: …guess I’m buying a new shirt then 😂

Do I commit to the purple socks at weddings? 👀

Working late, editing a wedding…

Next minute I’m like…

“hang on… more pyramids in Sudan than Egypt?!”
“why are we NOT zip-lining from Gibraltar to Morocco yet?!”
“South Korea weddings… ahh, so that’s where the wooden bride and groom ducks come from (pretty sure Mulberry House had a pair in one of the rooms 👀)”

…meanwhile I’m meant to be editing 😅

Maybe it’s part of the job.
Maybe it’s because my 7-year-old wants a random fact each day for school.
Or maybe my brain’s just always looking a little deeper 👀

Like when I’m lying in the mud next to a pond…
inches away from a daffodil…
while my couple are probably thinking,
“what is he actually doing?” 😆

…but then you see this multiple exposure photo…

Anyone else find themselves asking their AI random questions…
and occasionally lying in the mud for the perfect shot? 👀

What’s the last 3 random things you looked up?

Mulberry House never disappoints 😍

Tracey & Dan’s wedding was full of sunshine, laughter and some proper lovely moments.

8 years after photographing Tracey’s sister’s wedding, it was so good to see familiar faces again :) Proof that good weddings run in the family 😏

Big shoutout to all the amazing suppliers 👏

Happy Valentine’s Day 🌿

This year instead of sharing weddings and romance, I kept a promise to my son and we made a little photography project together.

So today… the love of nature.

Almost every couple tells me the same thing after their wedding:

“The day went so fast.”

You don’t miss the big moments.
You miss the little ones happening around you.

That’s what I’m there for.

I’ve made a simple wedding-morning details checklist that genuinely helps the day feel calmer.
