Exciting stuff. Launching on March 1st.

Frankie from Pink Photographics and myself have been really busy creating this.

Confetti Chat - a video discussion series chatting through different aspects of a wedding.

Offering hints, tips, advice, observations and thoughts on the many decisions couples face when planning wedding.

We've got exciting special guests joining us for some episodes too.

From March 1st - find it on all your usual video and social media places YT, F, I, TT

It's a discussion, not a lecture, there are no right answers - apart from to the question "should I check that out?"... To which the answer is "yes".

On Wednesday this week I was really pleased to be back filming and actual wedding ceremony!!! This time at the spectacular St Mary's Church in Derby. After the ceremony Trent House Studios photographer Saul grabbed a few socially distanced portraits of Lianne and Stefanos and I managed to capture some nice clips too. This may well end up being the closing shot of Lianne and Stefanos's film - but the film wont be finished for another year, as the rest of the celebrations are booked for 2022.

I thought it'd be nice to share a couple of sneak peak clips - a year is a long time to wait. 😁

Oh how happy are you all that we’ve made it to the 12th April? 😌 it might be a tad breezy but the british weather is no match for us when it comes to having a party, as demonstrated by these two beautiful boho babes ✨ I hope you enjoy this short snippet of a styled shoot from Wollaton Hall and it makes you truly feel that 🥰 email or dm to ensure you don’t miss out on bookings!

This week I was privileged to be filming a styled wedding shoot at Wollaton Hall and Deer Park. Expertly organised by Frankie from Pink Photographics, who as always assembled a fantastic team to help create some magical shots.
Unlike a lot of styled shoots this one was made more special as the couple are in the process of planning their own wedding next year, and the genuine love they have for each other was clear on the day and I think translates to the film beautifully.
I put this little film together of the day, hopefully showing off the magical venue and the suppliers work.

So as we set off in to 2021, I decided to have a look at the handful of weddings I did manage to shoot in 2020 - Here's a little edit of those I put together. Each of these had a different set of rules and regulations they were working under regarding guests and what was allowed.

The one running theme throughout - the smiles and memories made.

The music I composed for Victoria and Stephen's lovely film.

I'm very much looking forward ot getting back out and shooting the weddings postponed, and the new bookings I've had.

Here's to more smiles and memories.

I had the pleasure of filming this at the lovely Allington Manor on Monday.

It was really good working with the fantastic suppliers all day - it was a bit hot and I really felt for the guys in the tweed three piece suits ☀️🔥

The venue is really special, with a hidden gem of a garden space - absolutely ideal for anyone who needs a venue that can cater really well for the 30 guest maximum rule.

Massive thanks to Frankie (Pink Photographics) who co-ordinated it all.
