We decided that the snow was no obstacle and with a couple that were up for anything we took some test shots then invited the couple out. Using a flash behind to highlight the snow and a video light on the couple we snapped away until it was to cold to keep snapping!

one of 3 outfits for this wedding, the detail on the Indian ceremony was simply beautiful, using a 35mm and natural light as the bride adjusted her earing I though this top down angle would best show the level of detail she had gone to with her Henna and jewellery.

A powerful moment showing the love for her passed father who should have been there. During a slide show in the speeches the emotion rolled over the room. This moment grounds us all and reminds us of what's important.

The groom wanted to do something fun and different for his groomsmen photo. After building up the courage the groom was thrown in the air by his ushers and best man. To capture this image I decided to lay on the floor and shoot up through the arms as he got air.

This elopement was something special. During heavy Covid restrictions, receptions were not allowed so the bride decided she wanted to use the time and head to the beach after the drinks reception. As the sunset the couple ran into the sunset making this special image.

After a long day of rain, we wanted to create something for the couple, there was no sunset just more rain. We exposed the ambient warm light of the building to make a nice backdrop. We then took a few test shots with a back flash and invited the couple into the scene.

Captured at a local beach this couple wanted to go for a walk, the weather was against us but the sky was dramatic enough to take a step back and capture in all its glory.

Captured on a hilltop in Windermere, this little section of Wast Water was the perfect setting for this moment. Taken from a distance with loads of natural foreground light the couple became a natural silhouette. At the moment the wind caught the vale and the moment went from great to epic.
