Trends come and go. Here are the things I feel really matter, and will allow you to get the absolute maximum from your wedding.

My heart sinks when I see a list of the ‘must follow’ trends for weddings, because I know they are just popularised by the latest celeb wedding, or created by influencers looking to sell things or to promote their own preferred style, with little interest in what REALLY matters.

Having shot over 500 weddings, I’ve seen a huge variety in style, taste, the minimal to the maximal, and what really matters above all else is that it is YOUR day, so plan it YOUR way.

These things will stand the test of time, because they are all things that are real, and when you look back on your photos in 20 years, these are the things you will remember.

This view of Chloe and John walking down the aisle at Bath Abbey is an all time favourite of mine. There are several striking things about Bath Abbey- the magnificent high ceiling, and the intricately carved doors which have to be seen to be believed. I wanted to include both, in a way that shows how big they are, and how small people are in relation to the grandeur. I didn’t want it to be just another walking down the aisle shot.

It was a calculated shot, which involved a lot of planning, quick thinking and running, but as the doors opened slowly, I got the view I’d anticipated, and the shot which for me really tells the story and also stands the test of time.

I’m still pinching myself l that I picked up not, one, but two story awards in the latest round of This Is Reportage!

The second story is Aimee and Adam’s incredible day in the spectacular York Minster, and what a privilege to be allowed to photograph up high in the organ loft as Aimee made her grand entrance to meet Adam, like a scene from a royal wedding, it was magnificent, and the atmosphere incredible.

Adam is the assistant organist at the Minster and they both live in the grounds of the Minster and are part of the family there, which is how I was allowed special access, and why capturing the grandeur of the Minster was so important to them.

The day progressed to field games and a very lively Ceilidh, reflecting Adam’s Scottish roots. A truly perfect day!

As ever, it was incredibly difficult to pick up an Award: From almost 9,500 images submitted across the Reportage Award (for the best individual captures) and Story Award (for a series of 15 – 20 images of a single wedding) entries, the judges for this round chose just 39 Reportage Awards and 25 Story Awards. So to grab two of these is quite mind blowing.
A big shout out also to my associate on the day , who covered the entrance for me from different angles to allow me to focus on spending time getting up high, and navigating the 3 stories of very narrow steps!

Confetti is not something I show perhaps as often as I should, perhaps because it’s one of those things that we know happens at most weddings. For me though this image is a little different - it’s the thick cloud of confetti (you can NEVER have too much confetti!), the faces just being visible through the melee, but what makes it for me is the shifted composition, bringing in the hands from the left, because a good confetti throw is all about the crowd too, and the energy they provide that sends it up into the air, creating the moment.

There is a reason why this is one of my all time favourite images, and why it’s the first one you see on my website.

It’s a true documentary moment - no input from me as I shot from a distance, it’s clearly a first dance, and the movement is dynamic.

But also by shooting wider from afar, I deliberately wanted to include the wider landscape, the twilight sky, and the cliffs in shadow to give a real sense of place.

Then I had to make sure that the couple were perfectly lit and the focus of the frame, with a little light on the crowd, whilst balancing the exposure to keep the dramatic sky, all while still keeping it as a documentary image, waiting for that decisive moment.

It’s this incorporation of a sense of place, a portrait of Lucy and Steve, and a pure documentary moment that ties my style of photography together harmoniously, and one of the reasons this image stands out for me.

The first story is Megan and Alex’s incredible day at the stunning Tunnels Beaches, one of my all-time favourite venues, a day of party celebrations topped off with a great set from the always effervescent Daniel Costin on sax.

Day two with Caitlin and Johannes on Sunday looked like this, and I am in awe of this place. At any point I expected Hobbits might appear from behind a shard of lava, or for a glimpse of Gollum behind a waterfall. We were rewarded with so much gorgeous cinematic light.

With heavy rain and wind curtailing our wedding day ‘two of you photos’ plans, I’d suggested we head out again the day after their wedding to the same locations we’d originally planned for the wedding day - alonsgide my documentary work, natural environmental portraiture is important to my storytelling too, because I firmly believe it is not just when you get married, but where. I really wanted Iceland to shine through in the story for them.

And, with four seasons in one day, Iceland definitely did not disappoint! Never in one day have I experienced 3 spectacular rainbows in different places. What an incredible place.

These lovely words from Ruby and Steve sum up why I do what I do - it’s all about taking you back and reminding you not how your wedding looked, but how it felt.

Now this is worth celebrating! I’m proud to announce I’m a regional finalist for the South West in this year’s Wedding Industry Awards!

Thank you to all the lovely couples I have worked with who voted for me this year, it really does mean the world to me.

I can’t wait for the awards event in November, perhaps hopefully this will finally be my year?!
