Nicola & Alan

A wedding at any time of the year is a special thing. However there is something about an autumn wedding. Nicola and Alan chose to get married at Elsham Hall. It was my second wedding there this year and despite only being a matter of weeks since the first one, it was almost as if it was totally different place. The rich autumnal colours brought a whole new feel to when I had been there previously, only to be enhanced even further by Nicola's decoration choices which features a lot of burnt oranges and reds. The whole occasion looked totally resplendent and the atmosphere throughout the entire day was one of pure happiness.. 

Nicola and Alan were a joy to photograph. Laid back, calm and keen to enjoy their day with their closest family and friends. Congratulations to them both.

Jess & Matt: Married

It feels like an eternity since I shot Jess & Matt's engagement shoot back in 2014. So I suppose you could forgive me for saying that this wedding felt like a long time coming! 
 

The entire day was spent at the wonderful setting of Healing Manor in the Lincolnshire countryside. The spring sunshine and blue skies soon descended into a mushy mess of grey clouds and drizzle, but that didn't come anywhere near close to ruining an amazing day with some great people and a perfect couple. 

My favourite thing about Jess and Matt is they're the kind of people you can sit and chat to forever. They both have such genuine characters and their personalities complement each other wonderfully. I think you'll agree, they also look pretty damn good together!

Congratulations to them both!

Ashley & Rob: Married

A beautiful summers day at The White Heather in Lincolnshire provided a fitting backdrop for Ashley and Rob’s wedding. It was quite the opposite of their ‘wash out’ of a pre-wedding shoot a few weeks earlier and I for one was so happy that they got the weather they deserved. I’ve always been a sucker for details and everything about this day was executed so well. Ashley obviously has good taste! The flowers, the tables and all the little trinkets around the room all worked so well. Even the bridesmaids dresses worked wonderfully alongside the little hut outside for the photographs… although maybe that’s pure co-incidence. We’ll give them the benefit of the doubt.

Congratulations to Ashley and Rob. I hope you all enjoy the photos as much as I enjoyed being a part of the day.

Becky & Leon: Married

Becky & Leon's wedding at the beautiful and rather remote setting of Budleigh House in North Lincolnshire, was one which I was very much looking forward to. Not only because it was the first one I'd covered this year but also because it was due to be outdoors. I love outdoor ceremonies. It's something we aren't fortunate enough to see that often in this country and I have to admit, the forecast in the days leading up to the service wasn't kind. However, in what proved to be an event full of surprises, they got the weather they needed and the scene was set for a truly wonderful day. Congratulations to them both.

Kelly & Paul: Married

Kelly and Paul chose the intimate surroundings of Newstead Priory for their Wedding. Whilst the ceremony itself was small, they had invited their friends to come along and join in the celebrations from early on in the day, with even more guests arriving later for the evening. The weather was perfect and with fantastic entertainment provided by Tooley’s vintage fairground amusements, everyone made the most of what was a beautiful English summers day in the Lincolnshire countryside.

Here is the story of their day.

Gemma & Russ: Married

It's a great feeling, photographing a wedding where not at any point of the day does it feel like work. Gemma and Russ' wedding at the lovely Secret Garden in Gringley, Nottinghamshire was definitely one of those. The whole occasion was a pleasure to be a part of from start to finish, even if I did have to spend 45 mins in a plastic pancho due to a downpour. The venue looked incredible and is one which I recommend highly. The bride looked stunning and with Russ and one of his best men (Jerome) kitted out in military uniform, is was impossible not to get some great shots.

I think I'll have two lasting memories from this day. One of those will be the silent disco, which was the first one I've had the pleasure of witnessing first hand. They're hilariously good fun, espcially if you're the one without the headphones. Listening to the guests sing along to what ever channel they've tuned in to was hard on the ears at times, but you couldn't help but smile and join in. My second memory will be the speeches. All four of them were brilliant but the grooms speech was one which I think I'll remember for a long time. I don't think I've ever heard one that came across so heartfelt and grateful. There was barely a dry eye in the room after Russ had finished.

Gemma and Russ are a wonderful couple and it was a privilege to be a part of their day. I wish them all the success in marriage. Congratulations to them both.

Amiee & Olkan: Bump

On Sunday, I met up with Amiee and Olkan. In just a few weeks time, they'll be celebrating the arrival of a little baby boy and they wanted some shots to mark the occasion as a bit of a bump shoot. They've been married now for around 5 years and have since moved to Derby. It was their wedding in fact, that actually gave me my first taste of wedding photography. It's always especially nice to have the opportunity to see people from past shoots and work with them again. Huge congratulations to them both and I wish them the best of look in the adventures of parenthood.
