I have a spoken a little bit about styles of photography in my wedding planning blog posts before, what to consider when you are choosing a wedding photographer as there are many different styles out there.

I cannot believe this has taken me over a year to blog! I loved this venue so much. A building with so much character and history, that works perfectly as a gorgeous wedding venue as well. There pockets of incredible light everywhere thanks to the beautiful windows and the interior is filled with industrial decor which is perfect for photographs. I don’t usually include that many photographs of ceremony rooms in my blog posts but this one is just too pretty to miss!

“On a happier note we absolutely love the photos and the video. As you know we avoided looking at the photos & video whilst on our honeymoon but when my gran went in to hospital, I sent it over so that she could be shown it. You actually capture a bittersweet moment of her telling me that she had been so worried that she wouldn't make the wedding and that she was so glad she had. So thank you.”

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.

Boho Festival Marquee Wedding

Writing this on a chilly January day makes summer feel VERY far away! Jenny & Antoni got married in September and it felt like such a perfect summery day - definitely helped by the fact that they opted for ice-creams in stead of canapes at their reception too! They had their legal ceremony on Friday in Shropshire and then celebrated with a boho marquee wedding at the family home the next day, with their Saturday ceremony being led by a close friend. I really love it when couples opt to do this, it means you can marry outside which is much less restricting and you have so many opportunities to make the ceremony more personal. Jenny and her bridesmaids wore pastel yellow and each had flower crowns (I’m such a sucker for a flower crown and they photograph so nicely!) and when they walked back down the aisle they brought their lovely little doggie!

Beautiful laid-back wedding at Stanford Farm in Shropshire - music themed with lots of emotional speeches in their quirky farm wedding venue.
