Chantelle looked incredible in her wedding dress, we had to use this stunning window light to create this image. You can't beat a smile in a photograph!!!

Emma & Rik enjoying a walk through the long grass on the sand dunes at sunset. I love the fact the very top of the lighthouse is just showing to at to the story of this image.

Kimberley & Ryan asked for their pre wedding shoot to be held at the beautiful Chester Groves, a riverside location with little ice cream huts, a bandstand and rowing boats. There is also the Queens Park Bridge crossing the river over to Handbridge. I saw the opportunity to use the drone to capture this image.

Another image taken on the beautiful Queens Park suspension bridge, this time using off camera flash to create a warm glow around the couple. the flash with a CTO gel ( colour temperature orange ) to create the warmth. The actual setting sun was over to the right of the image.

This champagne shower was taken at Ellie & Tom's amazing wedding at the stunning Tower Hill Barns. I do love to end the evening with a super fun champagne shower. It wouldn't have been the end for Ellie & Tom, they were straight back on the dance floor...

The stunning stone bridge at Tower Hill Barns, made even more dramatic by the atmospheric Welsh sky. Ellie & Tom.

Awesome groomsman group photo at the stunning Tower Hill Barns. I love it when people are up for a fun photo!

Anna & Jamie... Another one from Anna & Jamie. I like an image to tell a story, I think these 'looking into the distance' images do a great job of just that. It was a lovely simple sunset shot.

Ellie & Tom... This one takes me back to my dark and moody landscape days. I love my atmospheric landscapes, like something from Lord of the Rings. I saw this scene as we walked up to Castell Dinas Bran, I knew exactly what I wanted for the last shot of the evening on Ellie & Tom's pre wedding shoot.

Anna & Jamie... A stunning sunset pre wedding shoot along Formby Beach. The sunlight behind them wasn't strong enough to create the desired effect, so I added a light behind them to create the warm glow.

I always ask a helpful couple from the wedding guests, to help me set the lights before I ask the wedding couple to leave the dance floor for a off camera flash image.
On this occasion I asked this awesome fun loving couple to help me, I was able to capture this before asking Shaunagh & Gavin to come out...

Laura & Craig celebrating with a champagne shower at the Fields Barn venue Chester.

I felt an atmospheric image would suit this beautiful room in Ruthin Castle. I placed a small flash behind the bride to be, while her hairdresser sprayed the hair spray. I love this image especially for the light catching the smile from the hairdresser, the mirror providing a reflection of the brides hair also helps to tell the story...

A Fun group shot captured using a long exposure and flash on a stick. Having the flash on a boom rather than on camera, meant I could rotate the camera, capturing movement in the lights behind. I love this kind of group shot, full of fun...

Shaunagh & Gavin. I was so pleased to have been a small part of this super fun wedding, surprises around every corner. I really enjoyed creating these off camera flash image using Shaunagh & Gavin's guests to get test shots before asking the couple to come out. We all had such a laugh!!

Laurie & Adam. An absolutely stunning church wedding followed by a garden party, then a marquee reception. Incredible to see the Guard of honour, this must have been such a proud moment for Laurie & Adams family. An awesome experience for the photographer too!!

Leanne & Scott... I had set up for a sunset shot, but Scott the groom had gone missing. Unfortunately we missed the short-lived sunset sky. Not wanting to give up, I decided to set up this back lit image using the twilight sky and stunning barn at Stock Farm Barn in Cheshire.

Mel & Darren at Ruthin Castle Hotel & Spa. I saw this window light in the bar area and asked Mel & Darren if they'd like to grab a quick image, before going through for their wedding breakfast.

A surprise wedding in the mountains. Jing had no idea her trip to the UK to see friends and family, would include a remote mountain wedding. It was an absolutely amazing experience to be a part of this celebration!

An absolutely stunning location for photographs. I was so pleased when Emma & Rik suggested this location for photographs, after their wedding at Chester Town Hall.
This beautiful iron bridge over the River Dee, was perfect for this image taken using my drone.
