2025. What a year. Many highs and lows but mainly it will be remembered by me as the year that cancer took my Dad. Despite the terrible sadness of this I want to remember the good bits, the family holiday with Dad, their 50th Wedding anniversary party, and the times spent with family.

It was a jam packed year with some of the nicest couples and families I have ever worked with. Big shout out to everyone who trusted in me to photograph their big day, despite my inability to showcase my talents on social media! And to all the other photographers who I worked with this year – you are all ace.

Cheers to all the venues who were so helpful and  friendly and kept us photographers well fed and watered especially when working on some of the hottest days of the year (see links below).

This was my 12th year of photographing weddings and one of the best, as the right clients are now finding me for the work that I enjoy doing so much. For me your wedding is not about what it looks like on Instagram, it’s how it feels on the day. That’s why I photograph in a documentary style so that you can just enjoy all the moments and rest assured that I will capture the fun, the emotions and the beautiful stuff, no awkwardness. I will capture all of your guests and all the important people to you having a great time and not just focus on insta-worthy couple shots. I want the photos to mean something to you years down the line, for you feel the love all around you.

Enjoy the round-up slideshow, I’ve loved making it and looking back at all the fun.

I still have a few key dates left in 2026 so get in touch if you want some relaxed but awesome wedding photos.

Anran, Bradstone Manor, Ashridge Great Barn, Upton Barns and Walled Garden, Higher Eggbeer, Rockbeare manor, Deerpark Country House, Bovey Castle, The Bedford Hotel Tavistock, The Great Barn Devon, Bickleigh Mill.

Beautiful Shilstone House Wedding

Just a few pictures from Erin and Matt’s gorgeous summer wedding at Shilstone House. Such a lovely fun and laid back couple who really enjoyed their day to the max. Erin’s attention to detail was next level and the decor and flowers were styled and put together in a such a stunning way by Beth at Room for Bloom events. One of my favourite moments was down by the river with just the couple and us, capturing a few shots of them just enjoying being together in the soft golden light.
