I’ve got a bit of a story about this wedding tha

I’ve got a bit of a story about this wedding that I photographed a couple of weeks ago.

Back in April when I was shooting Blossom mini sessions under some amazing trees in a carpark in Chesterfield, I was just waiting for my first family to arrive.

A lady walked past with her dog and spotted me camera.

She stopped and asked what I was doing.

To be honest I was a little nervous because I didn’t exactly have formal permission to shoot there.

Anyway, she wasn’t the carpark police, thank goodness.

She asked me if I also photographed weddings.

Note my nerves as explained, and the fact that this was pre-coffee o’clock, so I quite bluntly told her that I didn’t photograph weddings because I don’t like brides! (Not rude, I just think I’m funny).

Fair enough she said, and carried on her walk.

This lovely lady circled back and watched me for a little while photographing a beautiful mummy and daughter.

She apologised for interrupting, but just wanted to say that she had an amazing feeling about me and 100% wanted to book me for her wedding.

It turned out that we were a perfect match. They are an amazing pro gardener and flower arranging super-couple, and their reception was on their allotment and back garden in Brampton.

Just look at the happiness amongst their flower creations!

Thank you Jenny and Kev, it really was wonderful!

Just for clarity, I really do like most brides, just don’t ask me before my morning coffee.

Hi there

I'm back today after three weeks off with my family.

I'm only half back really, doing the school holiday juggle. Mainly spending time with the kids in the day and shooting outdoors in the evenings.

First up to share is this beautiful newborn shoot from a few weeks ago.

I love home shoots like this, they're all so unique and personal.

Thank you to a lovely family x

What a fantastic birthday present for Granny.

Photos of their grandkids, photos with their grandkids, photos of each small family...... and wait until you get to the last picture!

Here are my highlights from a recent family shoot with lovely local family.

I think a few people are going to know some faces here!

I haven't photographed a Christening for so long.

Pre 2020 I think!

I absolutely loved it.

It has all the love, connection and pace of photographing a wedding without the anxiety and sore feet.

I've photographed the whole family before, so everyone knew me and was really relaxed with me being around. It was so great.

Here are a few highlights. Mainly of the guest of honour, as well as her equally awesome big brother.

Thank you to a wonderful family for everything x
