Matt & Kat

Matt & Kat were married this last Saturday at Ansdell Baptist Church in Lytham.

It was a lovely ceremony full of family and friends from the church they worship at in Blackpool, the Well Church.

They held their reception in the church garden & hall, with picnic blankets and hampers of food. Kat had decorated the hall beautifully, with lots of fabrics and bunting as well as making the order of services with plenty of buttons!

The rest of the images from the day are now available to view online. Please click here to be taken to the website and click on clients on the wedding site. The password is the Kat's maiden name.

Michelle & Buzz, pre-wedding shoot

Michelle & Buzz are getting married in September in Harrogate.

I met the couple in Saltaire near Bradford for their pre-wedding shoot. The weather was lovely & we wondered around the park, watched a bit of cricket, and strolled down the canal before ending up in Salts Mill.

Matt & Kat's pre-wedding shoot

I met Matt & Kat one summer's evening down on the sand dunes at St Annes. Matt & Kat wanted some very natural images and decided to bring a kite with them.

What a great idea!

Matt & Kat were married on Saturday 8th August in a lovely ceremony at Ansdell Baptist Church in Lytham, images of the day will be on the blog very soon :)

sarah & ben

Last Saturday was Sarah & Ben's wedding in the lovely village of Wetheral near Carlisle.

After a gloomy weather forecast our hopes were expectant for some sunshine - and we got it, it was a glorious day and the umbrellas I brought were not needed, thank goodness.

Sarah & Ben's ceremony took place at the village church with the reception a short walk up the hill to the Fantails restaurant on the village green.

Sarah & Ben's puppy Nell joined them as they came out of church, she was a big hit, a wedding present from Sarah's sister. So photos with Nell had to be taken.

Here are a few of the images from the day. The rest of the images will be available to view online after the 26th July when Sarah & Ben return from their honeymoon in Sri Lanka.

Jenni & Ben

I had the wonderful pleasure of photographing Jenni & Ben's wedding in Kent on Saturday 20th June. I have known Jenni since she was about 8 years old, in fact she is the cousin of the children I used to nanny for. I hadn't seen Jenni and her family for many years, it was great to catch up and meet some 'blasts from the pasts' again.

Jenni & Ben were married at St Luke's Church in Maidstone and held their reception at the Bridgewood Manor Hotel near Chatham.

Here is a taster of the photos, the rest of the photos are now online please click here and click on 'clients' on the webpage. The password is the Bride's maiden name.
