Coniston Coppermines - such a brilliant place for portraits with huge landscapes, the river and waterfalls giving plenty to explore and even sheep to top things off! It’s the kind of location where you can keep moving, have a laugh, get a little bit wet and not worry about it whilst making the portraits feel much more like an adventure than a photoshoot.

A year on from this incredible afternoon with Rebecca & Matthew, the day after their wedding in the Dolomites.

We took to the skies and landed at a remote site overlooking the incredible Cadini di Misurina and Tre Cime di Lavaredo. With the mountains stretching out in every direction, it was one of those locations that genuinely doesn’t feel real.

The Dolomites are something else. The scale of the mountains, the light, the changing weather and the sheer remoteness make them an incredible place to photograph - and having the chance to experience it with Rebecca & Matthew the day after their wedding made it even more special.

A truly special couple of hours with Jess & Evan last month as they eloped overlooking Lake Windermere. A day with every season in the space of an hour as lifelong memories were created.

A beautiful evening with Holly & Gareth at Blea Tarn for their pre-wedding shoot ahead of their wedding in the Lake District next year.

Taking in the Langdale landscape, making the most of the changing light and having a good laugh. A great evening in one of my favourite parts of the Lake District.

A beautiful ceremony in the gardens overlooking Ullswater for Charlotte & Matt as they married at Inn on the Lake.

Drinks on the terrace followed with plenty of time spent enjoying the views across the lake.

The Lake District weather also made an appearance, with a rainbow over Ullswater before the skies opened and the bridal party (and me) getting caught in a torrential downpour whilst down by the lake.

Thankfully, it didn’t last for long, and made for some of those completely unplanned moments that you couldn’t recreate if you tried.

Scott & Nichola’s summer wedding at Lodore falls in the heart of the Lake District.

One of the hottest days of the year made for a beautiful garden ceremony, with Derwentwater and the Lakeland fells stretching out beyond the venue.

Afterwards drinks and canapés, we made our way down to the lake for a few photographs before heading up to Surprise View for sunset. The evening light across valley was the perfect way to round off the day.

A beautiful setting, an incredible summer evening and a brilliant couple to photograph.

A beautiful summer celebration for Carla & Conor at Inn on the Lake.

With the gardens of Ullswater as their backdrop, they exchanged heartfelt vows overlooking the lake before celebrating with their closest family and friends.

An incredible day from an evening aboard the steamer on Ullswater as the light softened across the fells to quick trip to the Kirkstone Pass.

Carla & Conor, what a pleasure it was to be there to capture it all.

Spring at Town Head Estate never disappoints.

Maisie & Matt’s May wedding was a day that had a little bit of everything. Bluebells lined the pathways, the gardens were bursting into bloom, and guests enjoyed ch*****ne & canapés on the terrace while the skies kept us guessing.

The weather rolled in with a dramatic storm bringing all the atmosphere, before rewarding everyone with the most incredible golden sunset to end the day. A pleasure to be a part of!
