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.

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.

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.

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!

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.

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

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

I’d had this shot in mind all day; I waited until dusk, so there was still a hint of ambient light hanging around. I added a flash behind Kelsey & Steve to provide some backlighting which also illuminated the inside of the tent. I’m really pleased how this one turned out

Venue - Tissington Hall, Derby
