Amazingly Shannon & Oliver hoped for rain in the evening so we could create a portrait like this! I found a nice composition then back lit them from behind to make the rain stand out :)

VENUE - ELSHAM HALL

Jo & Jamie's parents owned this camper van, it was special to the family, so I thought I'd try and create something special for them. I placed a speed light inside the camper, then added in a white smoke bomb to create the atmosphere, really happy how this turned out :)

VENUE - BASSMEAD MANOR

I had the perfect recipe to work with, its one of those images where everything naturally fell into place. I used a smoke bomb to create the atmosphere and let Emma & Dan do the rest

Everything aligned for this dreamy image of Steph & Peter in the Lincolnshire country side. You can't beat golden hour strolls!

Venue - Irnham Hall

Keiran & Katie were such a great couple to work with, full of fun & laughter so it was only right we cracked out the smoke bombs at the end of the day

Drunk in love - They sure where, I couldn't ignore this apt sign at sunset!

Used with the Godox Flash system

Venue - The Old Hall Ely

This was one of those images that I knew I was going to create as soon as I arrived that morning. The composition just hit me within seconds of having a recce

Venue - Gretna Green

Iulia & Gabriel had that undeniable look of love about them, it really shone through in their images. A moment of reflection by the lake as they snuggled in tight.

Venue - Longstowe Hall

Claudia & Paddy's wedding was a banger! I had so much fun that day and this image really sums this up. Smoke bombs in the rain, go on then.
Venue - Lains Barn.

Jess & Owen were a dream to work with! I loved the composition in-between the columns & wisteria, I added a smoke bomb for a little drama, then let them to get tangled up in love
Venue - Bedford Lodge Newmarket.

I've just discovered smoke bombs, and now it seems I can't get enough of them. Sunset strolls around Rutland Water with Bec & Tom, what a beautiful couple inside & out.

Blue skies & bubbles, yes please. Great fun at Normanton Church with Bec & Tom. This was one of those days when everything just feel into place seamlessly.

This was my first wedding back after lockdown and man did it feel great being back amongst the love and laughter! One good thing about a smaller, intimate wedding is that you have more time to explore with the couple, so we did just that and we struck gold! Anna & Dan, it was a pleasure.

A moment of reflection! Couple's portraits at sunset always go down well. This image of Suzanne & James was the last before we headed back to the venue. I just love the relaxing, tranquil vibe of this image. Venue - Old Hall Ely.

Gemma & Chris were keen to try this idea I had in mind. I took a high vantage point on a step ladder, then they both got cozy and had a moment!

An atmospheric winter scene at Bassmead Manor Barns. Amanda & Paul braved the elements for their couples portraits and I'm so glad they did. I converted this to black and white for a more dramatic feel

Abbie & Dan made a real effort to light up their marquee DIY wedding with festoon lighting. It looked so dreamy! I just love the romantic feel to this image.

This shot was taken on one of my first micro weddings after lockdown. I remember that feeling of being out in the fresh air with blue sky and a happy couple. It felt so good. We spent around 30 minutes in this field shooting couple portraits. Just perfect!

We were just about to wrap up the shoot when the reflection of the hall caught my eye walking back. I set Aynslie & Hugh in the centre of the frame and took a low viewpoint to capture as much reflection on the ground as possible. I had one flash behind them and one lighting them from the front; I got lucky with the raindrops on my lens creating a nice effect!
Venue - Stubton Hall

Aynslie & Hugh were such fun, expressive characters; so it didn’t take much for me to coax the laughter out of them. I placed them in front of some natural window light, underexposed for the highlights, and let them do the rest.
