With these two !

L&B stole one another’s hearts when they met & they stole a little piece of my heart on Saturday with their cuteness.

They had a most beautiful, intimate wedding in Norfolk at Chaucer Barn, which I have also fallen head over heels in love with. Any venue that has acres of trees [all planted by the owner James], with endless, landscaped & wild fields wins me over in a heart beat & Chaucer Barn really felt like my happy place on Saturday.

Their day was filled with so much laughter & fun, the best ring bearer [Kerim] who made me smile all day long, cocktails that I wish I had been able to indulge in by the very talented mixologist , speeches that made us all cry & food that was to die for by the fabulous caterers .

I have loved the sneak peeks a little too much & have made a mini, sneak peek blog for you all to enjoy. So follow the link in my bio to enjoy it.

L&B - Enjoy the sneak peeks & thank you SO much for having me along with you on your special day.

I also want to say a big thank you to Ellie from Chaucer Barn for helping with everything during the day & James for taking the time in the morning to tell me all about the history of Chaucer Barn.

With much love 💕

These two ! We had t.h.e best day with their nearest & dearest, albeit a bitter sweet day in some respects.
The Autumn colours were in full swing & Keiran’s mum was certainly looking down on everyone & made sure the day was perfect for them.
E&K - Enjoy the sneak peeks & thank you again for having me with you on such a special day.

Was in full force on Saturday when we had both biblical rain & glorious sunshine … and then a fireball sunset to finish off the day.

Both E&D were so determined to get outside as soon as the rain stopped, to make the most of the glistening light that happens straight after, in the fabulous grounds of Maidens Barn.

E&D - Enjoy the sneak peeks & hope you’re having an amazing minimoon.

I also want to say a big thank you to Team Maidens Barn for helping with everything during the day !

With much love 💕

To discover that one of my images that was taken into the final selection has been awarded an Honorable Mention in the International Wedding Awards in New York [swipe left to see Poppy & Sam during the first dance].

I am so grateful, humbled & excited to have attained this award, as it is judged by esteemed Gallerists, Photo Editors & Directors, Art Collectors, & other Photography Luminaries & I am up against world-wide photographers, so receiving this has made me incredibly happy.

I am also aware that I am very privileged to work in this incredible sector & meet not only wonderful couples, but other equally talented photographers that have become close friends as well.

Thank you for awarding me this accolade, it means the world to me & as always, this award wouldn’t happen without my couples & also the support of the wedding venues & other wedding suppliers on the day itself.

With much love 💕

Gets me every time, as it does when I receive an enquiry where I am already booked 🥺

I will be attending The Suffolk Wedding Show at the weekend & really looking forward to meeting lots of new couples looking to find their perfect wedding suppliers.

But please, if you are looking to book me, chat with me or merely considering me as your wedding photographer for 2025, I can’t urge you enough to get in touch as soon as possible because 2025 is looking almost booked up. I do have a sprinkling of bookings available during the year, but they are going very fast. My 2025 Autumn calendar has a handful of booking still available, but once I have reached my annual wedding booking limit I will no longer be taking on any more weddings for 2025.

So please, either come along to The Suffolk Show to meet me in person this Sunday, or go to my website & get filling my enquiry form before I am no longer available for 2025 !

With much love 💕

Let’s face it … he stole the show. For those not in the know, Dexter is the gorgeous Golden that was Lauren & Hamish’s ring bearer. And he had t.h.e best day !

As did everyone who shared the day with the three of them. A day they were not sure if they would be able to share with Dexter, but he shone, spread smiles where ever his golden glitter landed & loved the constant supply of Scooby snacks !

L&H - Enjoy the sneak peeks & thank you so much for having me along.

This wedding day was filled with so much love & laughter that I’ve decided I needed to share a mini-blog post of this day rather than do simple sneak peeks [see link in Bio for Blog Post].

Every time I turned around all I saw were smiles & such an huge amount of love for Great Granny with her amazing cheer leading squad [scroll down to find them] !

The wedding & reception was held at GreyFriars in Colchester & in the evening the guests were entertained by the amazing indie band ‘Pulse’ at The 3 Wise Monkeys.

V&Z - thank you so much for having me along; your day was one of those days that filled my heart with so much joy.

And a big shoutout to the best of the best suppliers too.

With much love 💕

All I can say is thankfully puppy-dog Gunner remained cleaner on E&A’s wedding day than he did on their pre-wedding shoot [I made the mistake of taking a Golden Retriever puppy to a very muddy river … Ooops …. swipe left to see his happy, muddy face] !!

E&A wanted a chilled day with family & friends, a little cocktail bar & no first dance and that’s exactly what happened ! The wedding cake was made by her incredibly talented Maid of Honour and the evening music was played by the amazing musician Jordan.

E&A - Enjoy the sneak peeks & have the most wonderful honeymoon in Turkey.

I had a lovely surprise when I got home last night from a fabulous wedding yesterday. The judges at the International Photography Awards in NY have selected these images to go into the final round. It’s a huge honour to be noticed. Every year I feel myself getting more & more intimated to enter the awards, mainly because there is so much talent out there & to be “seen” by the IPA is a huge gift in itself.
So, today is a “good day” & I’m always incredibly grateful that my couples choose me to be the one to capture and, let’s face it, third wheel you all day (!) to give you cherished moments from your weddings day. So it’s a massive, heartfelt, THANK YOU from me 🫶🏻🫶🏻🫶🏻
With love, as always 💕

Beth & Alex 🤍

The reference was totally lost on these two newly weds, but maybe I’m just showing my age !

Love is … IYKYK !

They held their wedding at the beautiful Gaynes Park wedding venue, with rolling hills surrounding it where you can see the beautiful London skyline on clear weather days ✨

B&A - Enjoy the sneak peeks & thank you so much for having me along, you were such fun to be around all day.

Also want to give a big shoutout to the other amazing suppliers that helped make their day happen too 🤍

If you’re looking for a venue with rooms that are as beautiful as the gardens that surround it, then look no further than Gosfield Hall.

I loved this wedding day with Chanel & Samy; the day Chanel married her childhood sweetheart. All the love was so evident in all their images & these are just a few of my favourites 🤍 I also want to draw your attention to the stunning boutonnières created by the talented florist

Autumn is almost here & it’s my favourite time of the year for so many reasons. The colour of the changing landscapes & dappled light being just two of them.

Bruisyard Country Estate is a stunning Suffolk wedding venue that can accommodate up to 30 people & nestled in 700 acres of land. It can also accommodate anything from intimate weddings to larger parties with up to 140 guests, so is the perfect venue for all genres of wedding days.

I love it here & would love to go back again … so get in touch if you’re thinking of booking Bruisyard as I do still have a handful of autumn dates available next year & only a couple of bookings available during my 2025 high season.

Nikki & Jake wanted a garden party vibe on THE hottest day of the year so far !

They also created the cutest wedding favours. They bought each guest a book that they thought would best suit them & wrote a personalise don’t inside each one to explain why they had been given this book & how much they meant to the couple. The other wonderful thing was all the books were bought from a charity shop … so was a wonderful way to give these books a second life.

Then, in the evening, Jake & his band played into the evening for their guests.

N&J - Enjoy the sneak peeks & thank you so much for having me along.

With much love 💕
