Can we just take a moment for the Hemmel Barn? 😍

Romantic, full of character and so easy to make completely your own.

We absolutely love seeing how every couple puts their stamp on this space, and this setup was a beauty 🌸✨

Rain on your wedding day? Pfft, bring it ☔️

It may have been a drizzly one but that didn’t stop C&A enjoying their gorgeous wedding Gawsworth Hall ✨

Also, I think this church may be one of the cutest I’ve seen? An all round beautiful day with prep at Mottram Hall, followed by a lovely church service then onto Gawsworth Hall for a marquee reception. So many lovely, personal & handmade touches - C&A made their wedding uniquely theirs and I love that.

Thank you so much for asking me to be a part of it 🖤

P.s absolutely obsessed with Charlotte’s dress - those sleeves! 😍

If you’re nodding along to all of these… I think we’re going to get on 👀🖤

I’m not really here to turn your wedding day into one big photoshoot.

I want you to spend your day with your people, soak it all in, have a drink, shed a few tears, laugh until your face hurts and throw some moves on the dance floor 🪩

I’ll be there quietly documenting all the good stuff as it happens - including the bits you didn’t even realise 💁🏼‍♀️

If you want your wedding photos to feel like your actual wedding day, rather than a collection of perfectly posed moments… hi👋🏻 I’m your girl 🙋🏼‍♀️

Emma & Ben ✨

A lovely local Donny wedding for E&B at 🦚

This day was super chilled from start to finish with many, many happy tears (mostly Ben’s 👀🥹) and it was just such a pleasure to spend the day with such gorgeous people.

Your wedding day is about the people you love most coming together to celebrate you, and this couldn’t have been more true for these guys. There was SO much love in the room! 🫶🏻

Thanks so, so much for having me! 🖤

Kate & Oli 💙

What. A. Day.

A country manor house wedding in the Lincolnshire countryside? Oh go on then.

A gorgeous day from start to finish with the loveliest bunch of people, two iconic dresses & a whole load of stunning florals. And singing waiters bringing the fun vibes to the wedding breakfast, naturally 🤌🏻

To Kate, Oli & all your lovely family & friends, thank you so much for inviting me to share your day with you all 🫶🏻

POV: this is your wedding gallery 📸

Well, a small percentage of it…

It seems only right on one of the hottest days of the year that I manifest a dark, moody autumnal wedding. Dreamy 🖤

This is what a snapshot of your wedding gallery feels like:

90% candid - your day as it happens. The raw emotions, the excitement, the chaos, the little moments you might otherwise miss.

10% mildly posed - a few prompts here and there to capture some gorgeous photos of the two of you.

That’s all I need from you. 10% of your effort to capture some beautiful photos together. The other 90% is me documenting your day as it naturally unfolds. 🫶🏻

Sounds like your thing?

Pop me a message to check your date with me ✨

P.s forever obsessed with the vibe of this day at The Venue Bowers Mill

Candid wedding photos…

If you want your wedding gallery to be filled with raw, real moments from your day, then hi 🙋🏼‍♀️

Yes, the group photos are lovely to have, but for me it’s these moments that tell the real story of your wedding. The ones you can actually feel - that’s what I’m all about 🫶🏻

That’s exactly how I approach your day, quietly people-watching, camera in hand, blending into the background and capturing everything as it naturally unfolds 📷

If that sounds like your kind of wedding photography, let’s chat 😘
