As a Lancashire wedding photographer, I am lucky enough to visit some incredible venues. Recently, I had the pleasure of being Pauline and Lee’s Wennington Hall wedding photographer.

Pauline first got in touch after seeing my work at another wedding. One of her daughters had actually been a bridesmaid at that wedding I photographed last year. I always love links like that. Personal recommendations mean so much, and it is wonderful when past weddings lead to new connections.

The Couple

Pauline told me that she and Lee had been together for 12 years. They were finally ready to tie the knot and celebrate with their loved ones. Their adult children played a big part in the day, making it a genuine family celebration filled with so much love and support.

This wedding was particularly exciting for me because it was my first time working as a Wennington Hall wedding photographer. As I drove up the impressive driveway, I could feel my excitement growing. The venue was every bit as stunning as I had imagined. From the grand exterior to the beautiful grounds, Wennington Hall provides a spectacular setting for wedding photography.

Pauline had planned a relaxed and simple wedding day. I joined them shortly before their wedding ceremony and was greeted by glorious sunshine! The weather could not have been better. Guests enjoyed drinks and canapés in the gardens, making the most of the beautiful surroundings. The venue’s grounds provided the perfect backdrop for natural and relaxed photographs.

Wedding Portraits

Before their wedding, Pauline and Lee told me they were not comfortable in front of the camera. They were not particularly keen on having lots of portraits taken. However, they completely surprised themselves. Once we stepped outside, they relaxed into the experience and looked fantastic. Their happiness was clear to see, and their genuine connection shone through in every image.

As a Wennington Hall wedding photographer, these are the moments I love to capture. Real smiles, genuine emotion, and couples simply enjoying their wedding day together.

As Pauline and Lee had chosen a half-day photography package, I finished coverage shortly after they were seated for their wedding breakfast. It was the perfect ending to a wonderful day.

Wennington Hall is a truly beautiful venue, and I cannot wait to return. If you’re looking for your Wennington Hall wedding photographer, or anywhere else for that matter, message me here.

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!

After meeting Leyah and Kevin for their pre-wedding shoot at Lytham Beach last summer (you might remember that blog. It really was epic! Check it out here), I was so excited for their Bartle Hall wedding photography.

From the start, I knew their wedding day would be special. They are such a beautiful couple, inside and out. They’re warm, relaxed and completely smitten with each other. Which makes my job as a Lancashire wedding photographer an absolute dream.

Getting Ready at Bartle Hall

One of the best parts of the day? They both chose to get ready at Bartle Hall. This made everything feel calm and seamless. I was able to capture Leyah’s bridal prep in the morning, full of laughter and happy nerves. Then I headed over to Kevin and the boys, where the atmosphere was equally excited (with a few jokes thrown in, of course!). Having everything in one venue always makes wedding mornings flow beautifully.

Sunshine, Portraits & The New Courtyard

We were incredibly lucky with the summer weather. It was a gorgeous sunny August day, which meant we could spend loads of time outside. And if you know me, you’ll know I love natural light. The gardens at Bartle Hall are perfect for romantic portraits. The sunshine just made everything glow! Even better, Bartle Hall had just upgraded their courtyard and I couldn’t wait to see it in person. It did not disappoint! The space is stunning. Modern, elegant, and perfect for portraits. I made sure to use it during the day and then again in the evening for some cheeky extra shots once the party was underway. The evening atmosphere there is just beautiful.

A Dance Floor to Remember

Speaking of the party… Leyah and Kevin’s friends and family really knew how to celebrate. The dance floor was full all night long. Exactly how it should be. So much energy and loads of laughter. This is exactly why I love Bartle Hall wedding photography. It’s a venue that gives you elegance, gorgeous outdoor space, and the best party atmosphere all in one. I genuinely can’t wait to be back in the future.

If you’re planning your own wedding and looking for a relaxed Lancashire wedding photographer, I’d absolutely love to hear about your plans here.

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!

You know those days when everything just clicks? That was totally the vibe when Leyah and Kevin and I headed out for their engagement shoot at Lytham. They had already booked me for their Bartle Hall wedding – super exciting! Then, they decided to throw in a pre-wedding shoot, which I’m always a fan of. It’s like a little warm-up for the big day. You get to practice in front of the camera, stretch those posing muscles a bit, and there’s no pressure to get it perfect since it’s just practice, you know?

The day was here….

So, I made my way to Lytham, hoping Leyah would surprise me with one of those amazing floaty dresses. And boy, did she deliver! She stepped out of the car looking absolutely stunning. I was instantly thrilled. The chemistry between the three of us was electric – it felt like we’d known each other for ages. Leyah and Kevin were super chill and totally open to anything I suggested, which is the dream for someone in my shoes (or sandy feet).

Now, I did spot a puddle on the beach that would make for a killer reflection shot, but it meant we’d probably get a bit muddy. Not a big deal, right? I held my breath for a second, but Leyah and Kevin were all in with no hesitation. They trusted my vision completely and let me tell you, the shots we got were stunning! The reflections and the way the light danced around them turned out amazing. Definitely worth the little bit of muck!

As we wrapped up the shoot, I couldn’t help but feel giddy about their upcoming Bartle Hall wedding this summer. If their engagement session was anything to go by, the wedding day is going to be a blast! I’m so looking forward to capturing more incredible moments and building on that fantastic connection we made at Lytham. It feels like it’s going to be one for the books!

Louise and I go way back, having worked together in a photo shop in Ulverston 25 years ago (gosh, that ages us!). We’ve shared many laughs and good times over the years. So when she told me about Bruce, I knew they were a perfect match. When they asked me to be their Abbey House Hotel wedding photographer, I was over the moon.

The Wedding

Their wedding was a blast, with so much laughter and love in the air. It was extra special for me being back in my hometown and seeing familiar faces while capturing beautiful moments for Louise and Bruce. Louise had thought of every little detail, including getting confetti cannons for the kids to join in on the fun. One of them being Bruce’s daughter, Lily.

Bruce’s groomsmen totally surprised him during the evening reception by all getting matching “Lads, Lads, Lads” tattoos on their legs. This was to match Bruce’s real one!! The look on his face when he saw them was priceless – pure shock and then laughter all around. It was such a fun moment. Not only that, but Louise had also prepared some awesome accessories for the dance floor. She had bucket hats and foam glow sticks for everyone to wear and use while dancing the night away. The combination of the tattoos and the fun accessories made for some fantastic photos!

Being a wedding photographer and capturing such a joyful occasion for awesome friends like Louise and Bruce is truly a privilege. I can’t wait for more memorable moments like this in the future. Cheers to love, laughter, and photographing beautiful celebrations!

Jane was absolutely amazing! In the run up to our wedding, she helped us decide what we wanted and was always on hand to offer advice or answer questions. Even ensuring we could get the full day coverage after we changed our minds at the last minute. On the day, she was brilliant, moving around different rooms and locations to make sure we got everything we wanted…. But doing it in a way where you don’t even know she is there half the time. She goes above and beyond to get the perfect shots and the final images are beautiful. We couldn’t have asked for more and they really do help us relive the day. Something that is so important as it goes so fast. The way she captured us, our family and friends is just unreal and we couldn’t be happier. The only problem will be choosing which ones we want to print!

Thank you, Louise and Bruce xx

I absolutely love the Lake District. Actually, I was born and raised in Ulverston, so I love an excuse to get back to Cumbria Whether it be to visit friends and family, a walk in the mountains or to shoot a wedding. When Georgia reached out to me to see if I was available to be their The Inn on the Lake wedding photographer, I jumped on the chance! It had actually been on my wish list for quite some time and it did not disappoint!

Georgia & Nick

Like me, they live in Lancashire but have a soft spot for the Lake District. Georgia’s family actually live next door to my mother in law. We didn’t made the link at first, but what a small world!

The Wedding

Like I said, The Inn on the Lake didn’t disappoint. It is a beautiful venue on the side of Ullswater. I first met with Georgia and the girls for bridal preparations. Even the bridal suite was amazing! It is a decent size and has a massive window which is not only amazing for natural light in to the room (and helping with photographs), but it also looked over the glorious gardens and had an amazing view of the lake. Georgia is a hairdresser and had opted to do her own hair and her bridesmaids.

Georgia & Nick exchanged vows in an outdoor wedding ceremony which overlooked the lake. The natural beauty surrounding us made for some truly magical photographs. The venue’s charming architecture and lush gardens added an extra layer of elegance to the occasion. Every detail was carefully thought out, creating a perfect ambiance for this unforgettable day.

I was keen to use the lake as much as possible for a beautiful backdrop in their couples portraits. I took a particular shot and Georgia & Nick laughed at me! This was because I got over excited about how amazing it was. It can be seen at the top of this page. Even though I have been shooting weddings for almost 8 years, I still get giddy and can be seen doing a happy dance.

We are absolutely in love with our photos! Jane made the day feel so relaxed. She listened to what we liked and captured the most beautiful photos of our family and friends. There is so much going on your wedding day. Jane just made it feel like it was one less thing to think about. She just became one of the guests and made me and Nick feel really comfortable as we aren’t ones to pose in front of a camera.
Thank you so much Jane. I wish we could just do the day all over again!
