Well this is how I've spent my evening so far...looks like AI right? Well I'm happy to say it's not. Just a good old off camera flash 📸

Can't wait to share some more from tonight's maternity session with my fabulous friend Beckie Smeaton !

The elements were against us, the wind kept blowing my flash stand over (even with a sand bag). Next time I'll be needing an assistant!

Still, it was good practice.

Thank you Bex for bringing the drama 😍

Can we take a moment to appreciate the details from Rosie Shrimplin & Rob's wedding.

Bride Rosie made the decor herself and I am here for it! The time and effort that went into this is unreal! The colours were beautiful and everything complimented their stunning wedding venue Gaynes Park Wedding Venue perfectly!

Are you a DIY or pay someone kinda bride?
Let me know in the comments 👇

It was an absolute pleasure to capture the wedding of Angela and Glenn at the lovely Cromwell Hotel!

It’s always a treat returning to . The staff always look after me so well, and the food is top-tier every single time! 📸

Angela and Glenn celebrated with a beautifully intimate day surrounded by 35 of their closest friends and family, before welcoming even more loved ones to party into the evening. Having been together for a long time, these two are so clearly made for each other, it was such an emotional day and a true privilege to be part of it. ❤️

Here are a few sneak peeks from their day! I can’t wait to share the rest of their full gallery with them soon.

Venue: Hotel Cromwell Old Stevenage
Second photographer: Margesson Photography
Decor/flowers: Ivory Flower Designs
MUA: MIRNA CONWAY - Makeup Artist London/Herts/Bucks/Destination

Let's be real, most of us only plan a wedding once, which means going in completely blind!

When I got married, I learned so much the hard way. For instance, I wish someone had taken me aside and told me that you do not have to follow the rigid rulebook, like ceremony, wedding breakfast, cake cut, first dance, and disco, and you do not even have to invite your auntie's monkey's cousin or have a formal sit-down meal if that is not your style.

So, let us help out anyone currently in the trenches of planning. What is the one thing you wish someone had told you, about the decor, the venue, the guest list, or the timeline, so drop your unfiltered wisdom below!

Getting married this November or December and realising you wished you had booked a videographer? It’s not too late to add video highlights to your day!

​I’m April, an established wedding photographer, and this year I’ve loved expanding into creating cinematic highlight films. To help build out my portfolio further, I’m opening up just 2 slots for November and 2 slots for December for standalone 3–5 minute highlight films at a special introductory rate.

​You can check out examples of my highlight films over on my Instagram or via my website www.aprilridgephotography.co.uk

​If you're still looking to capture your day in motion, comment the date and your venue location below, and I’ll slide into your DMs with all the details! 🥂
