I’m going to open with a cliche here and just say it feels like about five minutes ago I was doing my best of round up for 2018 and yet here I am on the 2nd Jan 2020 (Am I the only one who still feels like it’s a made-up futuristic date?!) attempting to plough though tens of thousands of images to select my absolute favourites.

Making these slideshows is partly about show casing my best work to new couples (obvz) but also it’s a massive reminder to me about a) how far I’ve come as a photographer b) how damn LUCKY I am to meet all these wonderful people and c) that I am actually doing OK as a self employed camera lady bumbling her way through life which quite frankly is how I feel most of the time.

I am doing this first week of February as I didn't shoot my last wedding until 30th December, and I just HAD to include some corkers from that wedding. 2017 was a fantastic year, both personally and with my work and I am so proud of how far I've come with my business in the last year. I love taking time to take stock, reflect and remember all the details and things I achieved this year to help plan the next 12 months ahead and these quieter months are the best time to do it! Last year I shot 23 glorious weddings and a whopping 21 engagement shoots, plus 8 family shoots as well. On top of this we bought a house, travelled to 9 different countries
