20 idyllic frames to inspire a stay.
Last year I had the privilege to capture 18 different spaces across Wales & England and am continually amazed by what I get to experience. While they range wildly from ultimate luxury to off-grid simplicity, they all have the same things in common - they’ve been carefully selected and inspected by the C&S team to ensure the experience you’ll get is truly special, private and connected to nature.
If your going to book one staycation in the UK this summer I’d urge you to check out what they have to offer, you won’t be disappointed.

I don’t take photos for Instagram...
Ever since I started I’ve been obsessed with the printed image. An image on a screen is incomplete, temporary, still in process, waiting to be made into some kind of physical form. You can’t hold on to the 1’s & 0’s and soon as the power goes down that image disappears. A wedding album is not just beautiful, it’s a tangible, physical piece that always exists will last a life time.
When I shoot wedding photos I’m thinking about how they’ll look in print. I like to take expansive, panoramic images that are at odds with Instagram’s portrait format. Often what you see on here is merely a crop of a much wider more interesting image, and that’s fine by me, the screen was never my intention for the image.
My albums are designed by me alone, there is no AI or automated album design software. I painstakingly create each page from scratch in photoshop and I’ve been doing this ever since I started. It’s really time consuming, often a little tedious, but it’s the only way I’ll have it. With a great layout you get complementary images, colours that match and story that flows from page to page. AI can’t do this...it has no idea what happened on your wedding day or why one image might relate to another.
There are a variety of different covers available including vegan leather, genuine leather, linen, hessian & velvet...all of which have colour options to match or complement your theme. Printing and assembly is done in Scotland using the finest processes to ensure your album is not only stunning to look at, but lasts long enough to be passed down through generations as a piece of family history.
As you can tell I’m very proud of the albums I make, and that’s why I leave just a small signature on the final page, to show it’s a piece of art I made and I care about.

A bit of wedding dress inspiration!
One thing that is a non-negotiable for me is capturing an epic shot of the bride looking sensational in her wedding dress. It will be most likely be the most expensive and carefully thought out outfit she’ll have ever put together, and I always have great fun capturing a pose or two to record this. I often find even those who are normally a little more shy infront of the camera absolutely rise to the occasion once they’ve got their dress on and are feeling the business. If they’re still feeling a little shy then I’ll take a step back, let them do their thing, and capture them later while they are just going about their day. Either way I won’t relax until I know I’ve got THE shot!
Check out some of these absolute fashion gurus, and if your still looking for a wedding dress then you’ll definitely be inspired by this bunch!

A little manifesto of what my work is about...

I consider my images to be a hybrid mix of candid & staged photography, but as time goes on I find myself increasingly drawn to towards the former while keeping staged images as natural as possible.

When it comes to locations I thrive off nature, rustic charm, landscapes and characterful buildings...but I do love to be thrown into the occasional city wedding just to keep me on my toes! Wales’ weather often plays its part ...it’s unpredictable nature throws a chaos into my work which can only be seen as a positive.

My clients put together spectacular weddings, are themselves beautifully styled and presented but always have a down to earth nature. I don’t know what a bridezilla is, I’m yet to meet one.

While I put the couples first, the guests are a very close second. I do take family group shots, if asked, because they’re are a great bit of history, but my favourite images just show them having a great time.

When I shoot photos I’m always thinking about a final printed product. I’m still a traditionalist…a photo on a screen is just an interpretation of data on a hard drive, a printed product is real. Delivering a finished album to a client is my proudest moment. Oh and AI? That doesn’t get a look in on my business...I’ll happily spend hours of my time sifting through thousands of images to give you the perfect collection before I give that task away to a soulless machine.

Despite all this, all of the above pales in comparison to my number one core principle: YOU need to be having a GREAT day. Incredible, beautiful photography means nothing unless it represents moments you want to remember.

Finally, I’m incredible grateful to have this job and thankful to the people who chose me to capture their weddings. For this reason I will always bring my A-game, give my full attention and treat each wedding like it’s the most important one I’ve ever done.

Lets go 2026...

In 2025 I focussed even more on capturing moments over staged photography. With 400 weddings under my belt I feel more than ever that I can predict when moments are going to happen and be ready in the right spot. This is one of my favourites of 2025…Kate overwhelmed with happiness…obviously I don’t know exactly what caused the reaction, but my guess is seeing herself as a bride just about to walk down the aisle at . And that incredible dress will definitely be adding to the feeling!
