Born to be wild
I knew from the first time I met these two that their wedding was going to be wild. The wedding day was actually the third time I’ve photographed Becky, and I feel like we know each other inside out! She absolutely bossed any portraits we did. She knows my style and together we are the dream team! One of my favourite moments of this wedding happened during bridal prep. I was taking some photos of…
Did someone say chihuahuas?
Doing a shoot with two chihuahuas called Darcy & Bentley was always going to be fun. It’s also been a great opportunity for me to learn how to spell chihuahuas.. I met Natalie & Alex last year when they invited me to their parents’ house in Harrogate for a cuppa! Normally when I first meet my couples it’s for a quiet coffee somewhere, but what fun it was to meet the whole family AND the…
The Wharfedale wedding
About a year ago was the first time I saw Wharfedale Grange being built. Ever since then I knew I had to shoot a wedding there! Then in walk Nancy and Harry and they just casually mention they’re getting married at my dream venue! It’s safe to say I was pretty excited. After their engagement shoot near Harrogate, I knew their wedding was going to be amazing. To date, this was the biggest wedding…
Magical
Even though it’s been over a year since this magical day, it remains as one of my favourite weddings ever! I had never been to Applewood Weddings before, and when I first saw the venue I was absolutely gobsmacked! It really was the most beautiful woodland setting, with fairy lights everywhere you looked. Not only was the venue just so beautiful, but it has to be said that Kate looked absolutely…
Fun at the fair
It’s ‘fair’ to say that these two are just an absolute dream to photograph. After our shoot last year in the autumn leaves, it seems to be that our shoots are becoming an annual thing. And I’m totally cool with that. We decided that for something a little bit different, we wanted to do a shoot at a fair ground. Fern & Ell made the trip over to Harrogate, and we had a lovely evening as the sun…
Homemade and oh so lovely
Charlotte & George’s homemade wedding was just so gorgeous right down to the finest detail. And detail really was the word of the day! From home grown succulents to give out as wedding favours, to little bags of sweets for the bus journey to the wedding reception – these guys had thought of everything and it was so special. Bridal prep was a lot of fun, and the colour-coordinated dressing…
Down by the river
These two crazy kids just make me smile so much! I knew as soon as I met these two that they’d be so much fun to photograph. Rebecca & Kyle are so unconventional, and just aren’t afraid to get their hands mucky! I met these two at Studley Royal near Harrogate, and I swear they had me laughing the whole time we were there. We took a wander down to the seven bridges, and after all the dry…
Inappropriate comments, dogs and cognac
I met these guys at their house ahead of the big wedding this weekend for some photos in the garden, some cognac and some fun with the dogs! I was met at the door with the biggest hugs, and also got to meet the family for the first time! It’s safe to say that Harry was… ahem… a little apprehensive about having his photos taken? Nancy informed me that she’d spent the…
The best ever!
When I first started out as a wedding photographer, it genuinely worried me that switching my all time favourite hobby into my job would make me become sick of it. Well, it’s weddings like this that remind me how much I love what I do! Kirsty & Dom’s wedding was quite possibly the best ever. In case you haven’t heard, I absolutely love these two. Meeting them for the first time was absolutely…
If you go down to the woods today..
For Charlotte & George’s engagement shoot, we headed up to the Pine Woods in Harrogate. We were so lucky with the weather (although we have been every day recently!). It was such a lovely morning. I met these guys in Betty’s, and we started the day right with some rather lovely raspberry lemonade. Very civilised! We chatted for ages about everything from wedding plans to old cars! After we’d…
