The buzz just as the bride walks in to the church, something I will never get over

Last weekend was my first full day wedding of 2026 and it was bloody brilliant !!

Thank you so much for this incredible review, me you and Allie need to go out for a drink and soon !

“Either hire her, or don’t bother having a photographer. She is skilled, talented and has a superb creative eye. Anyone can take pictures, but this person is a *photographer*

If you’re at the point of checking reviews, then just hire her. Fifty trillion out of ten. Zero regrets (and I’m a neurotic perfectionist)

Also she’s a superb person. Fifty trillion and one out of ten.”

I woke up to another incredible email yesterday this time from the team at to say I had won 2 awards in their recent awards round.

Both from very recent weddings one at Chelsea Town Hall for and the second for my once in a lifetime wedding in Ireland with and Joey

This is going to be an exciting year I can feel it already 🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻

I can’t be the only one who has a ‘feel good folder’ on their phone

That you to all of my incredible couples who choose and trust me to capture their wedding day and for coming back to leave me reviews and feedback like this ❤️❤️

Every single one gets saved and read over and over

From getting ready right first thing in the morning all the way through to that time you climbed on your friends shoulders on the dancefloor, I’ve photographed it all at
And this weekend I am with them from 11-3 both Saturday and Sunday to meet all of the wonderful newly engaged (or engaged for ages but taking their time planning) couples

If you see me and you’ve read this and you bring me coffee I may even be tempted to give you a cheeky something extra in your wedding collection.

A good way to see who reads these until the end 😉

Oh and instant coffee doesn’t count - that will get you money added on!

Well today was a little surreal. I had a message asking if I had checked the awards
I hadn’t, apparently what I had done was deleted the email telling me I had won my first Fearless Award thinking it was a reminder to enter the next round
Fearless is a notoriously difficult award to win and I can’t quite believe I can now finally say I have one under my name!!!!

Thank you your wedding at was incredible!!! And thank you to my fabulous mentors for my endless jabbering on about winning ❤️❤️

Let’s be honest a lot of photographers will only stay until half an hour after the first dance and they only get there maybe two hours before the ceremony.

Here is where I’m different.

I don’t cap your hours. No, I’m not going to be there from the moment you’re brushing your teeth in the morning but I am going to make sure I’m there early enough to capture all of the small moments that happen.

Your flower girls having their nails painted

All your best friends together in one room

There is no cut-off, if you’re having fireworks let me know. I’ll be there.

Want to go on a seven hour road trip after your ceremony to capture your photos and all your favourite spots like the couple in my last image? who am I to say no?

Your dancefloor doesn’t really get busy until after the evening buffet has been out

That ‘one friend’ (we all have one - if you don’t - spoiler alert it’s you) is only getting warmed up 30 minutes in

The shots have not yet been taken

So I’m not leaving until all the good stuff has been captured, all the photos that you’re going to share in your friends WhatsApp groups for years

You’ve got me for the day, the carefully planned moments and all the unplanned fun.

To my past, present, and future couples...

2025 was a year of such incredible growth, and because of your trust in me, I have reached a new milestone: I am now officially becoming VAT registered.

For my currently booked couples: Your prices are 100% protected. I’m absorbing the VAT on all existing contracts myself to honor our original agreement.

For my new enquiries: New bookings from 32at January will see a slight adjustment. To keep my photography as accessible as I can, I’m meeting you in the middle and swallowing a chunk of the VAT increase personally.

If you’ve been sitting on an inquiry, now is the perfect time to reach out and lock in current rates before 31st January.

Thank you all for being such amazing supporters I can’t wait to see what 2026 brings.

All of these images have one thing in common ……

Different couples
Different styling
Different rooms for bridal prep
Different times of the year

But all of them were captured at

Being on the preferred supplier list for a venue is always an honour but it is one I don’t take lightly. I challenge myself at every single wedding to make sure that the images I capture are unique for each couple. And I love every second of it.

I will be at their open day this Sunday from 11-2 so please pop down and say hello ❤️❤️

Welcome, shall we start 2026 with an introduction?!
My name is Amanda and I’m so pleased you are here.

* I live in Rutland with my husband, our daughter and our two miniature schnauzers Hercules and Perseus (yes they are the best names)

* I am one of 8 Children - my mum really liked babies so she kept having them and here we are. Luckily we all get along and I wouldn’t swap any of them out just yet!

* I am a qualified fitness instructor and used to teach Insanity Fitness classes - anyone remember those from

* I met my husband during an ultra marathon in the white desert in Egypt, he maintains I was dehydrated and that was the only reason he won me over 😉

* I love coffee so much, all of my wedding collections are named after coffee and I have a coffee machine on my bedside table amen to .uk and for keeping me fuelled

*Growing up I wanted to be a member of cabin crew for but then I watched final destination where the plane blows up on takeoff and I haven’t felt happy at take off ever since then!

* My favourite film is dirty dancing. Yes there are other greats but this one will always remain a firm favourite, I had a couple once who did THE lift on the dancefloor it was incredible

* The book I have read over and over is one called ‘a little princess’ I love it and can’t wait until Mya is old enough for me to read it to her

* I am a self confessed stationery lover. A new notebook is the way to my heart but it has to be spiral bound and preferably with a matching pen 😂

So that’s me, I am trying to be more present on stories this year so please come along and say hello and give me a wave 👋

If you got engaged over Christmas then CONGRATULATIONS !!!!

And welcome to the crazy world that is wedding planning!!

But where do you start? There are so many things to consider when planning your wedding that it can become a bit overwhelming.

1. The first thing you need to consider is if you want a big wedding or a smaller and more intimate wedding, there are pros and cons to both and this will be so dependant on who you are as people. Take time to think this one through and try not to let outside opinions push you in to something you don’t want.

2. Once you have that decided your next stop will be choosing your venue and setting your date.

Are you after a barn wedding, a country house, or would you prefer something smaller like Chelsea Town Hall, still with the wow factor but a cheeky walk to the pub for your wedding breakfast after with all of your closest family and friends.

There are so many different options out there and now is the best time to start looking because many will be hosting open days and evenings over the next few months.

3. Ok, time for real talk, you’re going to have to at least pretend to make a budget! If you’re anything like me, your going to make it, panic, close it and just live by the motto that you will make it work 😂 but seriously maybe at least chat together about what things on your list are the most important so you can drive more of your budget to those areas.

4. Now you have your date and venue it is time to start sourcing suppliers, many venues will have a list of preferred suppliers which is a great place to start but don’t feel like you have to stop there. You may meet others that you gel with more or whole style is more suited to you.

5. Take 5 minutes to chill out! just enjoy the fact you’re engaged, your wedding is booked and your main suppliers are sorted and go out on a date night to talk about how truly brilliant you are and how really you should make a career out of wedding planning because you are clearly superstars 😂👋
