From intimate ceremonies to lavish celebrations, these photos showcase the love, emotion, and joy that radiated from each wedding.

I love this shot of Aaron helping his new wife down a rocky path on Brentor. Christina is actually bare foot haha!

Sophie & Danny
Like alot of weddings in 2023, Sophie and Danny's was a wet one, making outdoor portrait limited.
I've always wanted to do something with love letters, as they are used alot at weddings, are was really please with how this turned out.

Beth & Mike
This is popular place for photographers to places couples at this venue, as the sun sets right behind.
Due to the heavy down pours through out the day, there was a big puddle which created this reflection, I used a flash behind Beth & Mike pointing up to bounce of the arch.

Hazel & Mike
I was pleased to able to finally shoot a wedding at Deer Park Country House last year. Seeing photos from other photographers of the beautiful green house area, I was excited to see what I could get.
I like this simple silhouette shot, with the blue evening sky.

Another shot from our hike up Brentor. I think the wind catching Christina's veil adds to this shot.

Faith & Toby
I like this shot, because it was my first attempt at a champaign spray shot and loved the results. I've got a few more ideas for this kind of shot for 2024.
I set up a flash behind the group to try and highlight the spray and slightly lowered my shutter to 1/160 to try and get a little movement in the spray.

This Lovely pair decided to have to have two days of celebrations for their wedding, and this was a portrait shot from the first day. The City Gate Hotel had this brilliant room to add to the shot.

Saskia veil was going crazy in the wind when she arrived at the church, I love that her dad is holding on to it, and that her maid of honour got draped in it!

Amy & Ryan
I was lucky enough to capture Amy & Ryans stunning wedding, which was located on their family farm fields. They had their ceremony in a crop field which i later took them back in for some couple portraits. We didnt get a golden hour, but we did get some lovely moody tones, which i'm a big fan of.

Jasmine & Jake
Jasmine made it clear to me that she loved moody looking shots, which is perfect for me, because so do i (when its possible) I bought these battery powered lamps from Amazon and took them with us for couple shots. I shot this at blue hour so there was a little light left. Shooting with a higher ISO bought put the light from the lamps hitting them better.

Who would have thought a massive harvestore would work in a wedding photo. One of the first weddings I did at Humber barn :)
