A couple of months after Lizzi and Alex booked me to be their Mitton Hall wedding photographer, we discovered we shared more of a connection than we first realized. It all started when I posted a running selfie on Instagram while I was back in my hometown of Ulverston, Cumbria. Lizzi slid into my inbox and pointed out that her old house was in the background of my photo, right behind the cow I was posing with! Turns out, she and Alex had lived there for a short while for work. It’s such a small world, isn’t it?

The Wedding Day

Fast forward to the wedding day. I was buzzing with excitement as I arrived at Lizzi’s parents’ home in Wrea Green for bridal prep. As I wandered around taking detail shots, I stumbled upon a beautiful old chair that had the most lovely natural light falling on it. Just as I was getting detail shots of the flowers, perfume etc, Lizzi and her mum, Carole walked in and exchanged the sweetest smiles. I had unknowingly chosen Lizzi’s late granddad’s chair for the shots! How cute?

The ceremony took place at the Church of St. Anne in Westby Mills. If I’m being honest, I usually lean towards civil ceremonies. But this one was a true gem. The priest, who hadn’t officiated a service in 12 years, brought such a heartfelt sincerity to the ceremony. We kept catching each other’s eye and exchanging a cheeky smile.

Mitton Hall

After the confetti toss, we made our way to Mitton Hall, which is one of my favourite wedding venues. Not only is it stunning and has the friendliest staff, but it’s just a short drive from where I live. The day was made even better with the presence of their adorable dog, Indie. He wasn’t there for long since he’s quite the bundle of energy. But I couldn’t resist stealing a few cuddles with him! The weather was incredible too. It was the week in May that felt like summer had arrived early (and then the rain came again a few days later…..). We even got to enjoy Lizzi and Alex’s first dance on the terrace, which was incredible.

It was now time for me to leave. But not before having a slice of pizza from Dough Boy. Definitely a highlight!

As a Browsholme Hall Wedding Photographer and Lancashire wedding photographer, it’s always extra special when I already know my couple before the wedding day. I first met Jane and Craig when Craig booked me for an equine shoot as a surprise gift for Jane. Being a fellow horsey girl myself, I just knew we’d get along brilliantly. We spent the loveliest day together with Archie and Mojo at Crow Wood. I had everything crossed that our paths would cross again.

A year later, they got back in touch to ask if I was available to photograph their wedding at Browsholme Hall. The answer was a very easy yes!

A Beautiful Autumn Wedding in the Ribble Valley

Being a Lancashire wedding photographer based in the beautiful Ribble Valley, I’m so fortunate to work at some of the most incredible venues. Browsholme Hall is definitely one of them. The Tithe Barn is full of character and the surrounding grounds are stunning in every season.

Jane and Craig chose to marry in autumn and it was one of those perfect crisp days. The rich seasonal colours across the grounds created the dreamiest backdrop for natural, relaxed wedding photography.

I’ll admit, I was slightly sad not to see Jane’s horses make an appearance on the big day! But I was very pleased to see Alfie, their gorgeous springer spaniel, who completely stole the show (and a few cuddles).

Incredible Florals & Lakeside Portraits

Their florals were honestly some of the best I’ve ever seen. The standout moment was a huge circle of floor flowers that they stood within during their ceremony. Romantic, dramatic and completely unforgettable.

For portraits, we hopped on the golf buggy and headed down to the lake. Although they decided not to take the rowing boat out, the lake and glowing autumn trees gave us the most beautiful setting.

Work Hard, Party Harder

When Jane first booked me as their Browsholme Hall wedding photographer, she told me they work hard and party even harder. She was absolutely right. As soon as the evening celebrations began, they were straight onto the dance floor. The perfect ending to a beautiful Browsholme Hall wedding. Full of love, laughter and one very good party.

When Emily and Brandon first got in touch about their wedding last summer, I knew it was going to be something special. I love being a Holmes Mill wedding photographer. Along with being an awesome wedding venue, it is only 10 minutes away from my house! Talking about distances, Emily and Brandon live just ten miles from my hometown and I now live ten miles from theirs. Small world, right? From the very first message, everything just clicked into place.

The Wedding

After getting ready at Emily’s sister’s house, Emily and Brandon had a heartfelt ceremony at their family church. This is the first church I have been in where the pews made the congregation sit backwards! After a lovely ceremony and some family pictures, we headed over to Holmes Mill in Clitheroe. I was instantly excited to be part of it. It’s such an incredible venue, and their ideas for the day were full of personality and fun.

The Reception

The reception was next level. They had hired out duckpin bowling in the Boiler House. Brilliant, right? Then there was beer pong back upstairs. Naturally, I was fully on board. Brandon and his groomsmen loved the competitive vibes. Of course, when Brandon asked me to, I couldn’t resist joining in! One of my favourite moments was Brandon’s proud grin when I beat his cousin. Honestly, being a Holmes Mill wedding photographer sometimes means getting stuck into the fun too!

Even with a few rain clouds threatening to make an appearance, nothing could dampen the mood. In fact, the weather tried really hard, but it failed. The day was full of laughter, love, and just the right amount of friendly rivalry. Emily and Brandon’s wedding was awesome to photograph. Days like this remind me why I love what I do.

Can you believe 2025 is already in the rearview mirror? It feels like just yesterday we were welcoming the new year with all the excitement and anticipation it brings. This year has been nothing short of amazing, filled with beautiful moments and incredible couples who made every wedding feel like a unique story waiting to be told. Honestly, I can’t express enough how much I appreciate the journey I’ve been on, especially as I celebrated my 9th year as a professional photographer and my 8th year diving into the vibrant world of being a relaxed Lancashire wedding photographer.

Living in the Ribble Valley is such a blessing, with picturesque backdrops and dreamy venues all around me. I often remind myself how fortunate I am to call this area home, surrounded by stunning locations. The heart of Lancashire has been the backdrop for many beautiful ceremonies this year, and I’m thrilled to have spent so much time capturing those special moments here. I did venture a bit further afield, documenting weddings in the breathtaking Lake District and the lively city of Manchester, even though for the first year, I missed out on some spots like Chester, Yorkshire, and Merseyside.

2025 facts

Now, about the names…. I think it’s worth mentioning that Andrew has dominated the groom scene this year! And for the ladies, we had a tie between Rachel and Victoria for the most popular bride names. Such fun little details to keep track of!

I shot weddings for the first time at 8 different venues across the North West, including Didsbury House Hotel twice within a few weeks!

As I look ahead to 2026, I’m really excited about the new venues I get to explore, like Rylands Farm House, Oh Me Oh My, and The Garden at Eden. It’s always exciting to step into new venues and get the creative juices flowing.

The thank yous

A massive shoutout to all the incredible couples who placed their trust in me this year. You made everything so enjoyable and fulfilling! And, of course, my heart goes out to the wonderful suppliers I worked alongside. You guys know how to keep the vibes high and the energy flowing. Lastly, to my family and friends who have been my rock throughout this journey, thank you for your ongoing support. Let’s see what 2026 has in store!

When Will & Clare contacted me, they told me I had shot a friend of Will’s wedding from football. I love getting direct referrals from previous couples. It’s always such a boost. From first speaking to them, I could tell we would hit it off. I mean, how can you not get excited when you’re talking about a summer wedding at Stirk House in Lancashire? And when they mentioned their adorable fox red Labrador, Arlo, would be in attendance, I was over the moon! Being a dog lover myself (I have three mini dachshunds), I’m all about furry friends at weddings.

The Wedding

The day was just filled with little moments that made everyone laugh and smile. I can’t tell you how many times I heard “Old MacDonald Had a Farm” being sung by Clare and her girls to keep those happy tears at bay! It turned into a sort of unofficial anthem for the day. Then, during the civil ceremony, the emotion hit a peak as I saw tears in Will’s Grandma’s eyes while she watched her grandson marry Clare. Just thinking about it still gives me chills!

With the sun shining down, guests enjoyed refreshing drinks and nibbles in the beautiful Stirk House grounds, making the atmosphere even more perfect.

When it came time for couples portraits, Clare and Will had said they were both nervous about being romantic in front of the camera. But honestly, they completely nailed it! They naturally clicked and had such a fun time during the shoot. We laughed together so hard. And let’s not forget about Dave, Stirk House’s own Toastmaster. What a guy! He’s got this incredible energy that matches mine perfectly. We always have the best time.

All The Dancing

As night fell, the dance floor erupted into an epic celebration. Everyone was ready to dance like no one was watching. But I was and they knew it! I’m usually on stealth mode during weddings, but not when it comes to the dance floor. I like to join everyone. I swear the energy in the room was contagious! The whole day felt so alive. There were so many amazing moments during Clare & Will’s day and I can’t wait for more wedding stories just like this one!

I was absolutely buzzing when Ellena and Darcy asked me to be their The Glass House, Staining Lodge wedding photographer. The excitement hit me even harder when I rolled up to their house for the bridal preparations. Seriously, I don’t think I was prepared for how stunning it was inside! Darcy, being a builder, had been hard at work renovating the place, and wow, he really knocked it out of the park. It’s so beautiful and stylish. Such a beautiful backdrop for the day ahead! And while Darcy transformed their nest, Ellena was busy plotting the perfect wedding. I had chatted with her beforehand, and as a fellow mini dachshund owner, I was excited to meet their two little sausages, Tallulah and Martha.

The day was just filled with good vibes right from the start. Ellena made sure I felt part of the crew, even including me in the personalized gifts for her bridesmaids. You could just feel the love and excitement in the air, which made my job so much easier. Then, when we headed over to The Glass House at Staining Lodge, the weather decided to throw a curveball and drench us with rain. But you know what? This couple didn’t let it put a damper on their spirits at all. After a beautiful civil ceremony, we snagged some stunning portraits by the fireplace in the side dining room. I was so thankful for that room!

Rain. Who cares?

But….. Ellena isn’t one to shy away from an adventure! She was happy to go outside for portraits, despite the rain. I mean, who doesn’t love a bold shot in a downpour? We dashed out for a quick five minutes in the torrential rain, and honestly, those images turned out to be some of my favorites! How stunning did they look? After their first dance, Ellena changed into a second wedding dress (technically third as she arrived in a white dress from her hen party) that was perfect for the dance floor. You could feel the energy surge as the party kicked off.

To top it all off, I got to work with some of my favorite wedding suppliers, which always makes the day smoother and more fun. There’s something about all that talent coming together that elevates the whole experience! So all in all, it was a fabulous day, rain and all.

Oh my gosh, I just have to share this incredible wedding I had the pleasure of capturing recently! When Vicky & Joe asked me to be their Hobbit Hill wedding photographer, I immediately said yes! Knowing them already through horses, I just knew what kind of vibe it would be. Vicky and Joe are such a fun couple and I knew their day would be unforgettable.

St. Peter’s Church, Salesbury

They chose Vicky’s childhood church in Salesbury for their wedding ceremony. She used to sing in the choir there as a child, which already had me feeling all the feels. Can you believe that her retired vicar even came back to do a reading? How sweet is that? It was like stepping into a beautiful memory for Vicky; you could see how much that place meant to her.

Hobbit Hill

Then, talk about the perfect reception venue! As I said, they decided on Hobbit Hill in the Ribble Valley, which is totally fitting because they are both massive fans of Lord of the Rings. It was amazing to see little nods to their fandom sprinkled throughout the day. And let’s not forget about the live music! Since Vicky is a wedding singer and Joe sings & plays in a band, the live music theme ran through the entire celebration. It created this amazing, lively atmosphere that you could just feel in the air.

When it came time for the couple’s portraits, they were simply a dream. They were so natural in front of the camera, almost like they forgot I was there! We even managed to sneak away for some stunning golden hour shots by the River Ribble, and oh my goodness, the light was just perfect. Honestly, can we just rewind and do it all again?

I love being a Hobbit Hill wedding photographer. So if you are looking for someone to capture your special day there, or anywhere else, drop me a message here.

What Vicky & Joe said

“Wow! What can we say about Jane? Every detail was perfect from start to finish. she made myself and my Husband feel so at-ease throughout the process and captured some truly precious family moments that we will treasure forever. We are on such a high after our wedding, and it’s largely down to how well Jane captured the day – if you’re thinking about booking Jane for your wedding, definitely do it!”

Christine and Chris decided to tie the knot in the beautiful Ribble Valley. When they asked me if I would be their Bashall Barn wedding photographer, I was pleased to say I was available. I love Bashall Barn. It is one of my local favourites. It offers stunning views, has amazing staff and is constantly being improved by the owner, Simon.

Meeting Christine, Chris & Bella

I first met the couple at their pre-wedding shoot in Whalley, where Bella, their adorable dog, joined in on the fun. We got on so well, even though I did suggest Bella should come home with me! During their shoot, I asked them what made them choose Bashall Barn as neither of them have any local links. They said they had looked at several venues, but Bashall Barn has the edge for them as Bella was free to roam.

The Wedding

Christine, or girl Chris as she is known, crocheted all of the wedding favours, including tiny carrots and fairy mushrooms. I spotted them straightaway and was eyeing them up. They really were the cutest little things and so personal. I was secretly hoping they wouldn’t get noticed so I could pinch one. But sadly not; absolutely everyone loved them!

Boy Chris and Girl Chris were an absolute joy to be around. Making the atmosphere at their wedding so fun and light-hearted. It was a beautiful celebration of love and happiness, and I was honoured to be able to document it for them.

At the start of the wedding planning journey, finding a photographer seemed like such a daunting task but after seeing her photos, hiring Jane was one of the easiest and best decisions we made! Neither myself or my husband are particularly comfortable in front of a camera and yet Jane made us both feel at ease so quickly. Both during our pre shoot in the woods and the wedding day itself, Jane was very easy to get on with, always happy to help, and most importantly, got on very well with our dog Bella 😁 She knew both how to set up and frame some perfect shots, as well as catch so many candid moments on the day to really capture all of the emotions, love and laughter. Jane blended right in with all of our friends and family, making everyone feel comfortable to just be themselves. She always managed to be in exactly the right place at exactly the right time to ensure every moment was documented perfectly!
I could not recommend Jane any more highly.
Thank you again!

Being a Mytton Fold wedding photographer is such a blast! I mean, have you seen the place after the recent renovations? It is absolutely stunning! And the grounds, oh my goodness, they are just picture-perfect. Plus, the fact that it’s only a short 5-minute drive from my house is just the cherry on top. The staff there are always so kind and welcoming, which really helps set the tone for a great day of shooting.

Chatting with Samantha before her big day was so much fun. I love getting to know my couples and helping them bring their vision to life. Seeing her and Rob surrounded by their loved ones, including their sweet kids, was really special. Samantha’s Dad had a sweet moment during the day when he wanted to recreate a photo of him and Samantha from years ago. It was such a cute moment to capture.

Samantha & Rob opted for a celebrant led ceremony, which was such a personal and touching experience. Lisa from Celebrant of Choice did an amazing job at creating a beautiful and personalized ceremony for them. And get this – she even brought along a broomstick for them to jump over on the way back down the aisle. I have worked with Lisa a few times now and she often brings it along.

Samantha & my dogs!

One of the highlights for me was when Samantha mentioned my mini dachshunds on Instagram stories and joked about having them at her wedding (she did this several times). Well, let’s just say, I may have surprised her a little by having them make a special appearance during the wedding breakfast. The look of joy on her face was priceless. It’s moments like these that make being a wedding photographer so rewarding.

Cheers to all the love stories I get to capture at beautiful venues like Mytton Fold!

Well, Where do I begin! My husband left me in control with booking our suppliers and I hands down can say I booked the best of the best. Jane blew me away with her work and was exactly what I had in mind.
Booking Jane was easy peasy! Simple, done and dusted. Any questions I had before the wedding, Jane was there to help.
On the wedding day, I felt like I knew Jane as she is soo easy to get along with. Jane blended in with the wedding guests too. We had a right laugh taking our couple portrait’s. We felt so relaxed with her.

I seriously don’t think I could ever get tired of looking back at our gallery. I love it so much and I am soo soo glad we had Jane because we will never get that day back but every special moment was caught perfectly. Thank you so much for your hard work on our special day, you are one very special lady!
P.S I also requested Jane’s 3 dachshunds attended to my wedding. Another highlight I will always remember!! Jane delivered BIG TIME!! X

Hey guys! So, last summer, I had the pleasure of being Becca and Joe’s Stirk House wedding photographer. Stirk House is situated in the stunning Ribble Valley. Myself and Becca actually used to work together years ago. Making it extra special to be able to capture her big day. Also, Becca & Joe had both actually been guests at another wedding I had previously shot too! The couple decided on a classy black and white theme, which looked absolutely stunning against the backdrop of the venue. The weather was perfect on their summer wedding day. Meaning we were able to take advantage of the most gorgeous golden hour for some additional portraits in the evening. .

This gorgeous couples civil ceremony was held at the venue, with Dave, the master of ceremonies leading the proceedings flawlessly. Becca and Joe had arranged ice cream in the afternoon, which was such a thoughtful touch on a really warm day. Working alongside some amazing wedding suppliers made the day even more memorable. Additionally, the dance floor was packed all night, thanks to Jon the DJ and the talented saxophonist who added a special touch to the evening.

Lancashire Wedding Photographer

I just love being a Lancashire wedding photographer. It truly is the best job in the world! It makes me feel so lucky to be able to capture such special moments for couples like Becca and Joe. Stirk House will always hold a special place in my heart as a Stirk House wedding photographer. It’s weddings like these that make me love what I do even more. Cheers to love, laughter, and beautiful memories!

Jane was our wedding photographer. After previously knowing Jane through work, I saw her do a wedding for a friend and I knew we needed her for our own. She captured our day perfectly and made two awkward people feel photogenic. Thanks so much Jane!
