Planning your wedding

After photographing weddings for over a decade, I've learned one thing…

The best wedding photos don't happen by chance. They happen when your day has just enough planning to let you relax and enjoy it.

✨ Build a timeline with breathing room.
✨ Allow extra time for travel.
✨ Check your ceremony photography rules if you're marrying in church.
✨ Don't underestimate the time needed for family photos.
✨ Sneak away for 10 minutes at sunset—you'll never regret it.

My role isn't just to take beautiful photographs. It's to help your day flow naturally, keep things calm when timings drift (because they always do a little), and capture the moments that matter most.

Every wedding is different, but thoughtful planning means you'll spend less time watching the clock and more time soaking up every second of your day.

The first in a new series of planning blogs is now available on my website, so head over there for more of my favourite planning tips to help make your wedding day feel relaxed, joyful and completely yours.

Last week's North Cadbury Court wedding was a beautiful day start to finish. A truly international guest list, so much fun to be a part of.

Huge thanks to O & A, so many happy and super relaxed moments, enjoying a stunning June day. I could have partied all night

Congratulations to you both

And breathe

The last few weeks have been full on with three double header weekends. So the best way to spend a weekend off? Run a hilly 10km trail run in the heat of the day, of course! Super pleased to have crossed the finish line in under an hour.

I don't appear on my own grid very often, neither do I say much about my running, so I thought I'd combine the two.

I'm hugely looking forward to next week's wedding which will almost certainly involve a bit of running here and there.

A little tip to end the day this Tuesday

One thing that will transform how your wedding photos feel…

Build a little breathing space into your timeline.

It doesn’t need to be loads, even 10–15 minutes here and there makes such a difference. Without it, the day can feel like a constant rush from one thing to the next.

Those pockets of time? That’s where the magic happens.
The deep breaths. The “we just got married” smiles. The spontaneous hugs. The moments you didn’t plan for but will treasure the most.

And selfishly… it also gives me the chance to capture everything in a relaxed, natural way, no forced smiles, no rushing you away from your guests.

Your wedding isn’t a checklist. It’s a day to feel, soak up, and actually enjoy.

So when you’re planning your timeline, give yourselves the gift of a little space.

The moments no one realises I’m capturing…

The hand squeeze just before the ceremony kicks off.

The deep breath no one else notices.

Your mum’s face when she thinks no one’s looking.

These are the bits that don’t make the timeline. They’re not posed, planned, or repeated.

But they’re the ones you’ll feel the most when you look back.

Black & white has a way of quieting everything else… so the emotion gets to speak a little louder

If you had to choose…
would you frame the big moments, or the quiet ones?

From formal to fun - these two certainly know how to party.

Saturday was a real family gathering. Young and a little older gathered to celebrate with Lauren & Scott. From Nerf gun wars to bouncy castle dancing, everyone joined in and I certainly was on the receiving end of a few bits of flying Nerfs, totally inadvertently, I just couldn't jump quickly enough to avoid them!

I was made to feel so welcome to a very special day and even persuaded the groom to enjoy having his photo taken.

The next few weeks are back to back crazy, but this weekend will hold a special place in my memories.

Congrats to you both

What a brilliant couple of days spent with and Scott as they celebrated their wedding with family and close friends on Thursday at the beautiful

Walked up the aisle by their eldest Dan and their rings kept safe by Oliver, this was a day full of laughter and plenty of emotion.

After the service, we popped across to the Bishop's Palace gardens for a few portraits, just the two of them and then all four. Talk about fun, we had such a laugh ... and that continued into Saturday's reception which was a serious party.
