family lifestyle shoot

I had the privilege to photography the Royle family on Saturday afternoon - at their allotment by the banks of the River Ribble.

The weather was glorious and the setting so tranquill.

Here are few of my favourite images from the shoot.

Hard to choose as I loved all of them!

Carol & Mike 26th May

Carol & Mike were married at New Life church in Chorley and held their reception at Smithills Coaching House near Bolton.

Great North Run

I am running in this years Great North Run on 30th September in Newcastle. After beginning to run (properly) at the end of March I completed the Great Manchester 10k Run on May 20th (without stopping!) with the help of my friend, Denise.

I still can't believe I ran 6 miles!

Anyway, we decide that we would go for the next challenge, so here we are training for this half marathon.

I have a charity place and am running to support the British Red Cross, I have a target of £300 to reach. If you feel that you could support me you can donate online www.justgiving.com/samm

I really appreciate you support and encouragement, thank you!

Roger & Katherine 24th May

Here are a few images from Roger & Katherine's wedding last Thursday. The ceremony was held at St Mary's Church, Lea Town near Preston and the reception at Bartle Hall.

Sarah & Richard's pre-wedding shoot, 21st April

We spent a couple of hours at Sudely Castle, Winchcombe, in the Cotswolds. It was a beautiful day and we got some great shots around the grounds.
I am really looking forward to Sarah & Richard's wedding in August at Auchen Castle, Scotland.

a day in the life...

I spent the day with my brother Paul and his wife Claire, their new baby daughter Daisy and Paul's daughters Ellie & Juliet. We had a glorious April day and I was able to get some great shots of my neices enjoying themselves.

Here are a few images from the day, click here to view a slideshow.

Daisy Louisa

My new neice!

I took a few shots of Daisy when she was just 9 days old.

My brother Paul and his wife Claire used this image for her birth announcment cards.
