Have you ever dreamed of a nature-inspired woodland wedding? This shoot was all about getting back to nature! Taking inspiration from natural foliage, we focused on using shades of green, complimented by copper and silver tones. Set in Stover wood, I wanted the table to feel like an extension of the natural surroundings, perfect for an intimate … [Read more...]
River Cottage HQ
It was just below freezing when I walked out this morning. Now I love a clear, frosty day but all this rain has made me pine for warmer, sunnier times. I’ve started to crave the soft, hazy glow of a late summers afternoon with the sweet smell of honeysuckle in the air and ripe fruit hanging from the trees. So in an attempt to warm us all up, I’m re-visiting one of my favourite … [Read more...]
Indigo Summer Shoot Sneak Peak
The North Devon coast holds a very special place in my heart as I used to spend quite a bit of time surfing here (or trying to!) It has a certain rugged and untamed beauty - the skies and sea can change so dramatically over the period of a few short hours bringing with it an array of amazingly powerful colours. So when Tracy and Bridget from Blue Fizz Events approached me with … [Read more...]
The Importance of Gratitude, Support and Following your Dreams this Christmas
As we reach the end of the year, I find myself looking back over one of the most incredibly expanding years of my life. It has been a year that has seen me travel across Europe and every corner of the UK. It has seen me photograph some of the most fantastic love-filled weddings. It has also been a year when my business became more beautiful and glitter-filled. So I’m going … [Read more...]
Pynes House
Have you ever walked into a house and felt as though you have been transported straight into a storybook. There is something about Pynes House that is dreamlike…..maybe it’s the large windows that flood each room with a gentle light, the chandeliers that hang opulently from the ceilings or the soft, muted tones of each room that make you never want to leave. I can honestly say … [Read more...]
Bellinter country house hotel and wedding venue
There are so many things that I adore about my job but perhaps the most important of all is the fact that it allows me to connect with couples from all around the world, to provide them with a service that is professional, personal and brimming with as much love and support as I can give. However, as well as connecting with the most beautiful people, I’m so very grateful that … [Read more...]
A wedding full of sun, sporrans and a dash of taxidermy
Just the mere mention of an outdoors wedding and my heart skips a little and swiftly breaks into a rather jazzy rendition of 'Somewhere over the Rainbow.' Luckily it's a fairly quiet rendition. Maybe in the UK we rarely believe the weather will be that kind to us....but my dear readers, just occasionally the sun shines on the brave. Frances and Frazer travelled down from … [Read more...]
Ice-cream on the beach
I thought it was about time to show another engagement session so I have picked one of my favourite sessions from last year. Anna and Andrew live and work in Bangkok, so our first meeting was on a rather chilly beach in Devon a few months before their amazing wedding :-) … [Read more...]
A Waterfall Wedding
She uttered the words "vintage flower fairy theme" followed shortly by "waterfall" and any sense of my own professionalism flew quickly out of the window. The wedding was to be on a Sunday in May at Kenton Church followed by a reception next to one of the highest waterfalls in England, Canonteign Falls. Im not going to lie....I begged her to hire me! Literally! Begged. I think … [Read more...]
Nicola & Ashley
Hopefully this beautiful wedding will dust away those rainy cobwebs and add a little bit of inspiration to your day. Nicola and Ashley married back in the summer at a small ceremony at St Peters Church in Lewdown followed by a gorgeous reception at one of my favourite venues in Devon, The Horn Of Plenty near Tavistock. Yes...two pairs of shoes!The stunning flowers were by … [Read more...]
