Landscape season is almost upon us, I can't wait for this years workshops to begin.

Here's a few images from the wonderful Lake District, where I'll be running two multi day sessions this autumn.

I'm not entirely sure what's happened this week… but I'm definitely not complaining!

I haven't changed anything, done any special marketing or been to any wedding fairs, yet I've picked up 4 new wedding bookings in the last few days.

It got me thinking about the wedding business and how it really does seem to have its peaks and troughs.

The last couple of years have most definitely been quieter. I put a lot of that down to the market becoming pretty saturated, people having less money and the wedding business being down across the board. So rather than chasing bookings, I put more of my energy into other areas of business while continuing to shoot weddings as they came along.

Whatever it is, it's bloody lovely to see and it's a nice reminder that these things go in cycles. The wedding business was booming pre covid and in my opinion it's never recovered fully. Maybe we're just seeing things pick up again. I certainly hope so.

I've never stopped shooting weddings and I've never stopped loving them. So to have four new ones land in a few days is a pretty good feeling. Thanks to everyone who has booked or recommended me, it really does mean a lot! ❤️📸

Ashleigh & David at The Hidden Oak. ❤️

I honestly don’t think I’ve ever seen a couple enjoy their wedding day more than these two. They were flying on cloud nine from start to finish.

What a day it was too… fireworks, alpacas, dogs, golf, live music, and most importantly, a dancefloor full of friends and family having an absolute ball well into the night.

Thank you both so much for having me. Here are a few previews to keep the excitement going just a little while longer. ✨

Ashleigh & David, the story so far.

These two surprised their guests with a special appearance from two Alpacas.

It’s been a great day at The Hidden Oak, looking forward to a party atmosphere this evening!

Catherine & Adam 🤍

A little preview from a beautiful day at Hidden Oak. These two never stopped smiling from start to finish, and it was such a pleasure to be a part of it. So pleased everything came together perfectly for them.

Wishing you both a lifetime of happiness.

Laura and Dan collected their wedding album today. ❤️

So many couples choose to just have the digital files these days, planning to make something themselves later. And, of course, that’s absolutely fine.

But there’s something really special about holding your wedding album in your hands. A beautifully made album is something your children, grandchildren and future generations can sit down and look through one day.

In a world where thousands of photos live on phones and hard drives, there’s something magical about a wedding album. I genuinely think it’s one of the best things you can have after your wedding day.

I use the wonderful to produce these books, designed by myself in the studio with input from the couples to make sure it’s just what you wanted.

Ibiza - Cap Blanc

Home from a little family break in the Balearics, feeling refreshed and ready for the second half of 2026.

There’s so much going on over the next few months and with our new business keeping us extra busy this summer we really needed the headspace!

Summer time is always crazy with weddings, family stuff and commercial work. Landscapes always take a back seat for a few months in the summer, but I loved this little scene on the way down to the Cap Blanc Aquarium.

Another summer wedding in the sunshine today, this time for the lovely Jan & Terry.

They had a nice, chilled day at decadent Acklam Hall with their closest friends and family (plus a football team and a Labrador, of course).

Thanks so much for having me, it was a pleasure to shoot for this lovely family once again.

Congratulations to you both! ❤️❤️

Now I’m off to get some sleep, 7am flight in the morning to the White Isle! 🇪🇸✈️
