All day long in the form of smiles & weather at the stunning Bruisyard Country Estate for A&T’s wedding.

I ended my 2024 wedding season here, & it was so lovely to be back for my first full day wedding of 2025. This time with kinder weather, drinks on the lawn & groups shots without wind or rain !!

I also want to say a huge thank you to for being my wing person for a large chunk of the day, as I was full of flu & needed a little help. Thank you ✨

A&T - Enjoy your sneak peeks & thank you so much for having me along !

With much love 💕

WHAT A FABULOUS DAY

L&D decided to get married, after being together for 23 years, on the very day Lisa’s Grandmother got married 85 years ago.

They had their two best friends as whitenesses & the four of them made a grey, damp winter’s day seemingly shine where ever they were walking, laughing, sipping champagne or having fun blowing bubbles [also see the random guy that Lisa decided they needed to have a little dance with] before the were chauffeured off by to Ickworth House to enjoy the rest of their day.

With love 💕

// W E T & W I N D Y

But filled with so much joy & love all day long despite the weather ! We even managed a confetti moment during the only time all day when the rain [sort of] stopped but the wind kept doing its thing.
Do enjoy the many faces of James, who hates having his photo taken, so having me was his idea of torture, but I got him smiling in the end [although in reality if I had just given him a pint he’d have been smiling all shoot long] !
And the MC, who was in fact a guest, was T.H.E best I’ve had the pleasure of ‘working” with. In fact I’m sure if you paid him he’d make the perfect addition to any wedding !
V&J - Enjoy your sneak peeks & thank you so much for having me along - especially James !

With much love 💕

Weddings can be so beautiful. Ok I get it … unlike this weekend, where we have had yet another storm [more on that this coming week] C&T got lucky with the weather last weekend & their guests managed to have a mini drinks reception outside before heading into the cosy, heated barn at Layer Marney Tower to play games & sip on mulled wine. But even so, the colours in the landscape were stunning & even the Silver Rolls blended in, not forgetting the fabulous RouteMaster bus giving a pop of colour & fun to the day.

And I can’t not mention the flowers by Julia at Wedding Panache - absolutely gorgeous !

C&T - Enjoy the sneak peeks & thank you so much fro allowing me to share part of your stunning wedding day.

With much love 💕

And of course James insisted they have his vintage Bentley too !

Their closest family & friends joined them at Braintree Town Hall for a very emotional ceremony, where there wasn’t a dry eye in the room, but we were soon laughing when James’s mum’s phone went off, not once but twice during the ceremony !

K&J - Enjoy the sneak peeks & thank you SO much for having me along with you on your special day. I really enjoyed spending a couple of hours with you all.

I also want to say a big thank you to the staff at the Town Hall for being such a joy to work with.

With these two !

L&B stole one another’s hearts when they met & they stole a little piece of my heart on Saturday with their cuteness.

They had a most beautiful, intimate wedding in Norfolk at Chaucer Barn, which I have also fallen head over heels in love with. Any venue that has acres of trees [all planted by the owner James], with endless, landscaped & wild fields wins me over in a heart beat & Chaucer Barn really felt like my happy place on Saturday.

Their day was filled with so much laughter & fun, the best ring bearer [Kerim] who made me smile all day long, cocktails that I wish I had been able to indulge in by the very talented mixologist , speeches that made us all cry & food that was to die for by the fabulous caterers .

I have loved the sneak peeks a little too much & have made a mini, sneak peek blog for you all to enjoy. So follow the link in my bio to enjoy it.

L&B - Enjoy the sneak peeks & thank you SO much for having me along with you on your special day.

I also want to say a big thank you to Ellie from Chaucer Barn for helping with everything during the day & James for taking the time in the morning to tell me all about the history of Chaucer Barn.

With much love 💕

// A U T U M N

Was in full force on Saturday when we had both biblical rain & glorious sunshine … and then a fireball sunset to finish off the day.

Both E&D were so determined to get outside as soon as the rain stopped, to make the most of the glistening light that happens straight after, in the fabulous grounds of Maidens Barn.

E&D - Enjoy the sneak peeks & hope you’re having an amazing minimoon.

I also want to say a big thank you to Team Maidens Barn for helping with everything during the day !

With much love 💕

// S O H A P P Y

To discover that one of my images that was taken into the final selection has been awarded an Honorable Mention in the International Wedding Awards in New York [swipe left to see Poppy & Sam during the first dance].

I am so grateful, humbled & excited to have attained this award, as it is judged by esteemed Gallerists, Photo Editors & Directors, Art Collectors, & other Photography Luminaries & I am up against world-wide photographers, so receiving this has made me incredibly happy.

I am also aware that I am very privileged to work in this incredible sector & meet not only wonderful couples, but other equally talented photographers that have become close friends as well.

Thank you for awarding me this accolade, it means the world to me & as always, this award wouldn’t happen without my couples & also the support of the wedding venues & other wedding suppliers on the day itself.

With much love 💕
