Absolutely loved meeting all the lovely couples planning their weddings at the wedding fayre held at Wicksteed Park by T.W.O last Sunday 😍

Also in bloody love with my brand new banner from Harri Holker 🪡 Textile Design with my new branding and logo, how talented is she?! This beauty is hanging in my home office when not being flaunted at events and fairs ✨️

Met such lovely wedding suppliers too, always a great bit of networking with my wedding 'colleagues'

Already booked one wedding in from this fair, 2027 and 2028 is still open to book, 2029 is opening shortly 👀📸

K&H 🖤🍂

Currently on my editing screen is this gorgeous pair! Their wedding at Wedding Venue Milton Keynes Northamptonshire in Towcester was an autumnal dream 😍

This first dance shot is one of my favourites, the fairy lights strung above the dance floor in the barn always look so beautiful ✨️

🖤 Wedding Video of Duong and Josh edited super8 vintage film style 📽

Bloody love wedding videos, so much fun to film and edit together and they're the perfect add on to photography packages with me 👀

This beautiful day was at Castle Ashby Gardens, the Church there and then the quintessentially British family home cottage garden party afterwards.
Spot the cows, I may or may not have played jazz music for them and spoke to them as if they were babies when the groom caught me 🙃😂 luckily he does the same!

🖤V&L🥀
One of my most recent double exposure edits I've created and I'm in love.

I was going to post a carasoul of all the double exposure abstract wedding photographs I've conjured up recently but they deserve a spotlight of their own, if I may so so myself haha. 😏

This is from the photography gallery from an elopement legal wedding in Stratford Upon Avon registry office, then onto the butterfly farm then the quirkiest, vibiest Italian restaurant ever. 🍕

My diary is still open for some 2026 dates, and 2027 through to 2028. My contact form is on my website 📸

Little ice cream pit stop is mandatory if your wedding is on the hottest day of the year, especially when it looks this cute 🍦🍨

Love a bit of wedding street photography, Stratford Upon Avon is definitely a beautiful place for it too - I'll upload more from this wedding soon as I'm in LOVE with them all 😍 such an incredible couple 🖤

Brighton + a very cool couple + a wander down towards the beach = 👌🏻🖤

These are the kind of wedding portraits I bloody love. A bit of Brighton chaos, a bit of indie cool, a lot of laughing, and absolutely no need to disappear off for an hour for a serious photoshoot.

Just having a bit of fun on the way to the reception at Brighton Music Hall and letting the surroundings do their thing.

For the alternative, indie, non-traditional couples who want wedding photos that feel like them rather than a load of stiff poses.

Brighton weddings, alternative wedding photography, documentary wedding photography, indie weddings, non-traditional weddings... you know where I am 🖤

Still scrolling wedding photographers and thinking “yeah… but none of these feel like us”? 👀

I bloody get it.

You don't want stiff, awkward wedding photos that could belong to anyone. You want photos that feel like you, your relationship and the absolute fun chaos of your day.

If you're planning an alternative, non-traditional, slightly weird wedding and want your photos to actually feel like YOU…

Comment GOOD VIBES and I'll DM you 🖤

🖤 HAPPY ANNIVERSARY REBECCA & RICHARD!🖤
📸 Only seems like yesterday I was these beautiful couples wedding photographer, time flies!

I hope you've had the best first year of married life and have won all the pub quizzes, played all the coolest games and have always looked as dreamy as you did on your big day 😍

P.s Rebecca, you still hold the trophy for being my first and only bride to pull the best face and tell me "I'm not doing that!" when I said one of my pose prompts that was supposed to make you guys laugh, and it still makes me laugh today 😂

Fun fact - this bride and groom held their wedding reception at the place me and my partner had our first date! The Charles Bradlaugh pub in Northampton. We now have it as a print in our kitchen made by Fridge Street from Vintage Guru St Giles 🥰
