On a day filled with scorching sunshine, a trickle of rain, beer race chaos and belly-laugh fun - Danielle and the girls managed to fit in an amazing set of "vogue" poses at the iconic Highfield Hall!

Taken on a very cold evening in October, the light vignette was natural, created by the couple's breath. I had to ask the couple to stop breathing to take the shot, to reduce the amount of vapour between them! You can see a tiny peek of breath from the bride in this shot, which gives a special (hidden kiss) touch to the image.

Behind every epic photo, there’s usually a little bit of chaos… and Ellie & Chels’ smoke bomb shot at Oak Farm Hotel, Cannock was no exception! 🌈✨ We’d gathered their brilliant bridesmaids, smoke bombs in hand, ready to create something truly memorable. I’d just said “no running, otherwise you’ll trip” — and of course, seconds later one bridesmaid took a tumble (thankfully with lots of laughter and zero injuries!). As if that wasn’t enough, the wind decided to flip directions halfway through, sending colourful smoke in every which way. For a moment, it looked like all was lost. But here’s the beauty of weddings — sometimes the imperfect conditions, the laughter, and the unpredictability create the best moments. And somehow, out of all that madness, we captured an image that not only tells their story perfectly but also went on to become this award-winning shot. 🏆 Ellie & Chels, your joy, love, and sheer fun turned what could’ve been a disaster into pure magic. 💕

A hidden gem in Congleton The Lion & Swan — and its stunning evening space at Radleys — set the perfect tone for Lenne & Elliot’s evening party. That reflective shuffleboard table practically begged for this shot… so how could I say no?

Who needs a red carpet when you've got a Triumph Tiger 1050? Huge congratulations to Sarah & Nick who made an unforgettable entrance to their wedding breakfast at Hafod Farm — riding in on "Triumph Tracey" herself! A bit of a dramatic slip on the soaked road only added to the legend — no injuries, just laughter, applause, and a very memorable arrival.

Nikita and the bridesmaids strike a pose (ish!) at Worsley Park Country Club.

View across to the Roaches in the Peak District, near Leek (Peak District National Park). (And boy, was that a climb! 🧗😊) Not quite the sunset we were looking for, but the colours and view were still amazing.
