Everything I know about space comes from Star Wars, so when I was booked to shoot a wedding for two people that actually work with Rockets, I kept my mouth shut about all things skyward. Know your lane, Jonathan. It’s a motto I live by. 🚀✨

A huge congrats to sian130 & Harry! They brought together family and friends from all across the globe for a gorgeous, truly international celebration at Mulberry House. Being the one to capture it all was a total honour.

From those early morning moments capturing preparations to the craziness of the dance floor, these guys had an absolute blast (I could have said ‘blastoff’ but I didn’t….I’m too classy)

It was my first time shooting in Essex at Mulberry House, and hopefully not my last. A stunning venue with a (Inter)stellar team (Get it..do you get it??????).

Sian & Harry, thank you for trusting me with your big day!


It was a pleasure to work alongside

Wow, I have covered some SERIOUS miles this year 😂 But when the weddings & couples are this good, I’d happily do them all over again.

Meet the absolute LEGENDS that are L 🌅✨ & , who got married at the ridiculously beautiful EDEN BARN in Cumbria.

And what a day it was.

Festival feels ☀️

Rustic goodness 🌿
Summer vibes 🙌

A little bit of class ✨

And an absolutely WILD party to finish things off 🕺

Basically, they threw all the good stuff into one wedding, gave it a shake and created one hell of a day.

Laura & James knew exactly what she wanted from their wedding, and judging by the huge smiles, ridiculous amounts of laughter and general scenes of joy happening everywhere, I’d say they absolutely nailed it.

From the second I arrived, I knew this one was going to be fun. That energy carried on ALL day and well into dance floor. Exactly how I like my weddings 😂

I also got to capture it all alongside the very talented Adam Wing, which made an already brilliant day even better.

It was my first ever visit to EDEN BARN and hopefully not my last. What a place! Beautiful surroundings, loads of incredible spots to shoot and, most importantly, an absolutely brilliant team running the show. Fingers crossed I’m back again very soon 🤞

Laura & James, THANK YOU for bringing me all the way up to Cumbria to be part of this one.

You absolutely smashed it.
11/10…Would photograph again. ❤️

And a big shout out to all the awesome suppliers who helped make the magic happen 👇

I’m frantically trying to catch up with previews whilst travelling the country shooting amazing wedding days. This summer has been crazzzzzy and somehow… there’s still many more to come.

Today though, it’s all about Bethan Baxter & Chris Hart and their ridiculously epic DIY wedding in Suffolk

These two threw an absolute PARTY on home soil and did the whole thing completely their way.

An outdoor ceremony with a choir made up of their mates belting out some absolute bangers 🎶

Loads of DIY goodness bursting with colour
. Full on festival vibes and a dance floor full of complete party animals...Basically, my kind of wedding…Relaxed, colourful, personal and absolutely buzzing from start to finish.

Bethan & Chris, you absolutely smashed it. Thanks for having me along for the ride.

Loads more to come from this one soon…

After falling over, bruising all my hip and leg and looking like a complete twonk during Jane & Ben’s engagement shoot, I had to prove I could stand on my own two feet (get it) for their big day. These guys were seriously the nicest people and I felt amongst friends from the moment we first met.

Jane Curtis & Ben did their wedding their way by keeping it all in house. Throwing a marquee up in their garden and partying with their absolute favourite people...I was honoured to be a part of their celebrations. Cant wait to bring you more from their bright and colourful day.

Special thanks to Touch Of Charm Venue Stylist & Florist for making the day run perfectly & being a pleasure to work with.

Fantastic to work alongside all these awesome suppliers

More from the class of 2026 - This epic year of amazing couples continues with Rachael & Dan Willett and their awesome wedding at the beautiful Stone Barn

In the midst of this crazy heatwave (anyone else wishing it could drop a few degrees???), Rachael & Dan celebrated their day in style in the heart of the Gloucestershire countryside. Ive been to Stone Barn loads of times and seen it bathed in sun, with an autumn glow and even under a blanket of frosted ice. I love shooting here and this wedding was no exception. Thank you Rachael & dan for making me a small part of your celebration and for bringing the party 🙂

Love this couple and love this venue. Here’s a couple of frames from James & Hannah Daw's beautiful day at Thorpe Garden

Fun fact. Hannah’s Dad built this wedding venue...That’s pretty special getting to be wed at somewhere so special to the family.

Always a fan of Thorpe Gardens, it seems to attract cool couples that want a relaxed wedding with that festival feel and rustic vibes.

Hannah & James, take a bow and welcome to the cool kids of the 2026 club

I’m very much being spoilt this year. Here’s some pictures from the stunning wedding of Dianne Sanchez & Adam Carlton-Gray . This awesome pair tied the knot at one of my absolute favourite wedding venue, Homme House | Wedding Venue

The weather was fantastic, the venue was epic, the couple a joy to spend time with as were their family and friends...the people demanded a party and the Moonshine brought all the vibes. Big mention to the videographer skills of williamharrisonfilms_ for being a pleasure to work alongside.

And 2026 delivers again...Last week I got to spend the day with the awesome Sian & Bobby for their Wootton Park Weddings wedding.

Such a fun relaxed day filled with amazing people, sunshine, a Skunk!!! (and many more amazing exotic animals), a boat trip, Bobby rocking his guitar and much more. It was a true pleasure to be a part of their day and here’s a few snaps. I can’t wait to share more soon.

Thanks Sian & Bobby for choosing me to capture your amazing wedding day.

Nikki & Mike please take a bow...completed it mate.

Yesterday was so much fun spending the day with & Mike at their wedding. Such a lovely couple & awesome guests. The sun baked us all but that just added to the vibes. Thanks for making me a small part of your celebrations. Here’s a sneak peek for you all.

It was my second time getting to be a Whistle Barns wedding photographer this year and seeing the venue transform as the seasons have changed was awesome. Hope to be back soon.

Great to work alongside these great wedding suppliers
