☔️ A wedding, a poncho, and a weather forecast written by a chaos goblin...

Some weddings have sunshine all day.

This was not one of those weddings. 😂

At the beautiful Royle Forest Weddings, the rain arrived early, settled in, made itself comfortable, and stayed right through the morning and ceremony.

Out came the emergency photographer survival kit... including the trusty poncho. Fashionable? No. Effective? Also no. But at least I was wet with confidence. 🤣

Then, because British weather enjoys a bit of drama, the clouds suddenly disappeared and gifted us a gorgeous few hours of sunshine. Plenty of time for photos, laughs, and making the most of the venue grounds.

And just as we were feeling smug about it all...

The rain returned for one final cameo appearance just before the prosecco spray and before I headed home. Perfect timing. 👌

One thing I've learned after photographing weddings since 2007: a good wedding photographer's car is basically a mobile emergency shelter. Umbrellas, towels, ponchos, waterproof covers, snacks, spare shoes... you name it.

Because sometimes getting the shot means hiding in a wet bush, standing in a bog, climbing a tree, or looking slightly suspicious while crouching behind a hedge in the pouring rain. 📸🌳😂

The weather might not always play ball, but great moments happen regardless.

Who else trusts the weather forecast about as much as a toddler holding a juice box? ☔️🤣

✨ One Year Ago.... ✨

Now that my phone is letting me post to IG again 🥴 (a few days late!)

Happy 1st Anniversary to Andrew & Ellie! 🤍

A whole year has flown by since these two tied the knot at Hanbury Barns, and what a day it was.

Their wedding had absolutely everything — laughter, emotion, beautiful details, unpredictable weather, and one of those golden hours that photographers dream about. After spending most of the day wondering if the clouds were going to win, the sun finally broke through and gave us the most gorgeous evening light.

The day was packed with personal touches, stunning styling by Bee Sweet Occasions, and so many moments shared with family and friends. But one memory still stands out above the rest...

Andrew's piggyback sprint through the field. 😂

To this day, I don't think I've ever seen anyone move that quickly while carrying another human being. The commitment was elite. Olympic-level husband energy.

Thank you both for trusting us to capture such an incredible chapter of your story. I hope your first year of marriage has been filled with as much love, laughter, and adventure as your wedding day.

Happy Anniversary, you legends! 🥂✨

One year ago, Russ + Emma tied the knot at St. John the Baptist Church in Smalley before celebrating in style at Morley Hayes... and what a day it was!

From Emma's stunning horse and carriage arrival to glorious sunshine after not one, but TWO sausages were buried (clearly the weather gods were listening!), this wedding had personality, fun and unforgettable moments from start to finish.

The confetti? Absolutely legendary. Massive handfuls, a giant confetti blizzard, and smiles everywhere you looked.

The day continued with dogs making a special appearance, drinks and canapés in the sunshine, incredible singing waiters catching guests completely off guard, plenty of laughter, some epic singalongs and, to finish, a few night-time photos featuring a rather special comet streaking across the sky.

A whole year has flown by, and it's been lovely looking back through these memories. Happy 1st Anniversary, Russ & Emma! Wishing you both many more years of love, laughter and adventures together. ❤️

Joshua & Cleo... what a day! 🎉

After tying the knot in Las Vegas, Joshua and Cleo brought the celebrations home to 🎰➡️💍 celebrate with all their family and friends at Branston Golf & Country Club.

And what a party it was!

A beautiful blessing, great food, plenty of laughter, and a dancefloor packed from start to finish. The DJ was dropping absolute anthem after anthem — the sort of tunes that make it impossible to stay sat down! 🕺💃

What I loved most about this day was how they did things completely their way. No pressure, no rigid schedule, no endless posing. Just a relaxed atmosphere, quality time with their favourite people, and lots of genuine moments.

We kept the photography natural and unobtrusive, capturing the laughter, hugs, dance moves and everything in between, with just a few family groups and couple portraits to create those timeless keepsakes.

We were also treated to an incredible golden hour, giving us some stunning portraits, plus some epic drone shots that really show off the venue and the atmosphere of the day.

Thinking about your own wedding? Remember, your day doesn't have to follow anyone else's rules. The best weddings are often the ones that feel the most like YOU. ❤️

🔥 STOP SCROLLING... if you've never seen a dancefloor brought to life by Dhol drummers, you're missing out! 🔥

What a way to finish the run of weddings before holiday mode kicked in!

Simran & Aaron's incredible Indian fusion wedding had absolutely everything. Sunshine, amazing food, stunning decor, great people, and the perfect blend of traditional English and Indian wedding celebrations.

And honestly... THIS is exactly why I'm always banging on about doing your wedding YOUR way.

The highlight? (Apart from that ridiculously good golden hour!)

🥁 The Dhol Drummers.
💃 The 30-minute dance break.
🔥 Absolute scenes.

Years ago, when I was DJing weddings, I always loved Indian celebrations because the energy is something else. The drummers brought the same magic here. Just like a great sax player can transform a dancefloor, Dhol drummers take it to a whole different level. The atmosphere becomes completely infectious and before you know it, everyone is involved.

From the ceremony and confetti to cake cutting, incredible food, dancing and those dreamy golden hour portraits, this day had the perfect balance of chilled moments and full-throttle celebration.

Different cultures.
Different traditions.
Different personalities.

One amazing wedding.

And that's exactly how it should be.

Thank you, Simran & Aaron, for letting me be part of it. ❤️

Sono tornato! I'm back!

A catch up after an amazing week away in Rome, Italy!

A few jobs including some wedding sneak peeks flying out this week ahead of this weekends wedding!

Meetings.... emails on the to do list right after wash hair! On it!!

In other IG related head space...

I've decided to get out now my comfort zone to film more videos ad hoc, limited editing. Just get out my phone, film, post! No messing! Well, very little! Otherwise I'll over think it and never to it as I get editing tunnel vision and neglect the IG grid!

So here is me, trying! I think I need some luts?!?!? Or a filming camera? Nah! Sod it!

5 reasons why I may use a drone at weddings! 🚁✨

1️⃣ Group shots
A drone lets me position everyone properly so you’re not all squinting straight into the sun! It also creates a fun, unique perspective that stands out from the standard lineup shot.

2️⃣ Showing off your venue
You’ve invested in an amazing wedding venue — let’s show it some love! Aerial shots add context, scale and beauty to your gallery.

3️⃣ Setting the scene
Drone shots capture the full atmosphere of the day. The gardens, outdoor drinks, tipi setups, fire pits, countryside views, guests mingling… all the little details that tell the full story.

4️⃣ Perspective changes everything
Sometimes a photo looks great from the ground… but from above? 🔥 HERO SHOT territory. Aerial images can completely elevate a moment into something epic.

5️⃣ Epic golden hour creativity
I can’t fly… but the drone can 😜
Using a drone to capture those stunning golden hour rooftop-style shots from above creates a completely different cinematic feel that’s hard to achieve any other way.

That said… drones can’t always be used 🚫
Rain, unsafe winds, restricted airspace, secure locations, flight paths or venue restrictions can all stop flights from happening safely and legally.

Always make sure your wedding photographer is insured, qualified and licensed to fly responsibly.

Let’s fly! 🚁✨

Sometimes wedding photography is all about reacting fast, trusting experience and knowing when to change the plan. ☁️🔥

This was one of those moments at Colwick Hall we almost missed this shot completely.

The original timeline had the first dance happening earlier, but watching the sky closely, I knew the sunset colour was building in the right direction. We made the call to delay things slightly… and within minutes the sky exploded with this unreal colour.

Wait any longer? Gone!
The sun would’ve disappeared behind thicker dark cloud and the magic would’ve vanished with it.

That’s the difference experience makes. Knowing when to pivot, when to move fast, and when a 5 minute change can turn a lovely photo into something unforgettable.

Wedding days don’t always go to plan. Weather changes. Timings shift. Light disappears fast. Being flexible and calm under pressure is a HUGE part of getting those “wow” moments without turning your day into a photoshoot marathon.

And the best bit? We still got them back to the party quickly for the dancefloor chaos afterwards 😜

Your day. Your way. But with someone ready to react when the magic appears.
