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.

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!

Well, that is it! Another year over already! 2024 saw my 8th year of being a family photographer and 7th year of being a natural wedding photographer based in Lancashire. I do actually cover the whole of the North West and other areas too. I can’t believe how lucky I am to be able to work for myself and work with such lovely people.

2024 weddings

Like I said, I am so lucky to live and work where I do. Being based in the Ribble Valley, I am surrounded by some of the most beautiful wedding venues, including Bashall Barn, The Outbarn, Mitton Hall, Eaves Hall & Browsholme (to name a few of my favs). I have actually shot 68% of this years weddings here in the Ribble Valley. The other 32% have been in Merseyside, Cheshire, Cumbria and Manchester. I love shooting at my regular wedding venues, but this year, I have shot at some new ones. Some that I would really like to go back to. Including The Inn On The Lake at Ullswater, Chester Zoo & Sefton Palm House.

Random Facts – Bashall Barn has again been my most shot at venue this year (4 times compared to lasts years 5). I actually only have 1 wedding booked in there for next year, but there is still time for that to change.

Most popular name has been Chris. I have had 4 of them. 3 of them being grooms, 1 of them being a bride. Bride Chris actually married one of the groom Chris’. Can you guess where? You’ve got it, Bashall Barn! But…. If we are just going off the groom Chris’, then it is tied. 3 Chris and 3 Joe’s.

2025

I can’t wait to see what 2025 brings as a natural Lancashire wedding photographer. My diary is booking up nicely, as is my 2026 diary. My new venue for next year is Abbey House Hotel in Cumbria. I am really looking forward to that one as the bride is a friend from my days of working in a photography shop in Ulverston.

I say this every year but thank you to all my friends, family and amazing couples who have supported me along my journey. It means the world!

Happy New Year!

Being based in Lancashire, I spend a lot of time in Yorkshire. Both as a Yorkshire wedding photographer and also personally with my family and dogs exploring the countryside, towns and villages. I love nipping over the border, whatever the occasion.

The Bride Squad

I met up with Olivia and the girls at a lovely Airbnb (Castley’s House). It was just round the corner from Thornton Hall Farm near Skipton – Perfect! Olivia and Chris are both from Skipton and wanted to keep things close by. Anyway, we had a chilled morning swapping stories, eating food and getting ready. Just as the bridal squad were ready, Olivia’s Dad and brother arrived to have a sneaky look at their gorgeous girl.

Thornton Hall Farm – The Wedding

Olivia and Chris are both outdoor enthusiasts and animal lovers, so Thornton Hall Farm was the ideal venue for their special day. Much like myself, they have horses and dogs in their lives and are always busy outside. Their little dog, Finn was a guest of honour too!

This was my first time at Thornton Hall Farm and the weather really spoiled me! The sun shone brightly all day and we were able to have an outdoor ceremony. Yippee! After Chris and Olivia were announced Mr & Mrs, their friends and family showered them with confetti before heading off for a refreshing drink. I hadn’t realised that the venue came with a quad caterpillar ride! I have got to be honest, I absolutely love my job but it would have been fun to swap with the man driving the quad for 10 minutes!

Portraits, Food & Dancing

I was keen to make use of Thornton Hall Farms fantastic backdrops, including meadows, the animal barn and the camping area for Olivia and Chris’ wedding portraits. We did those both before and after a delicious wedding breakfast! I love it when couples feed me and the food supplied by The Outside Kitchen was just what I needed. It was amazing!

Later on in the day, Tom and his band had the dance floor absolutely bouncing. Teethy smiles and arms in the air. Just what every dance floor needs!

As a Yorkshire wedding photographer, capturing natural photographs of Olivia and Chris’ Thornton Hall Farm wedding was incredible. It was a day filled with so much love and laughter, and I feel genuinely grateful to have been a part of it. If you are getting married in Yorkshire, or anywhere else for that matter, feel free to drop me a message to discuss.

I have said this so many times before, but I am so lucky to do what I do as a Lancashire based wedding photographer and living in the Ribble Valley, amazing wedding venues like Bashall Barn are just on my doorstep! Also, I am incredibly lucky to work with so many amazing couples. I was so happy when Tayler and Joe asked if I was available for their wedding!

Tayler & Joe’s big day

Tayler and Joe definitely are incredible and as you guessed, their wedding was at Bashall Barn, Lancashire! Boom! From the moment I arrived, I knew it was going to be a good day. The vibe coming from the bridal preparation room was epic! The girls were all getting ready and Jay, Tayler’s sister in law was doing the final touches to the flowers. Joe and the lads soon arrived and they were just as excitable!

A couple of months before their wedding, Tayler had asked me who I recommended for confetti as she knew she wanted an epic shot of it. I advised that Flutter Darlings are amazing for this! So after a beautiful civil ceremony, we went straight outside for confetti. I had also said to Tayler to make sure she bought plenty, oh she did and it was amazing!!

Couples Portraits

This is my favourite time of the day. The newlyweds get a chance to breathe and talk to each other and I get to make awesome memories for them. Even better, Matt Jones films was working with me and we always have the best time working together.

Tayler & Joe had asked if Indie, their 4 year old golden retriever could come along for some of the shoot. Being an owner of 3 dogs, dogs are always welcome with me! It was 23°C so I made sure I was quick with Indie. The sky was pretty clear, so it was a bit too hot for the couple too. I suggested that we went back to the party and came out again later once it was cooler. Do you know what? I am so glad I did as Tayler had also brought converse (which she had decorated), a short dress to change in to for dancing and a bottle of fizz to spray! We had so much fun with that.

Anyway, this is only supposed to be a quick intro for their sneak peeks!

Enjoy,

When Josh and Emily contacted me to be their Cockley Wood wedding photographer, I was made up as they both sounded so much fun! They first met in 2015 when working for Grumpy Mule (a coffee roastery). They only knew each other to say hello to. But then…. they bumped into each other on a night out in a rock bar! They were shocked that they both enjoyed everything alternative! They only knew each other in a formal capacity until then.

Planning (& Emily)

Emily and Josh had actually booked someone to be their Cockley Wood wedding photographer. But that photographer had to pull out. So I was only booked 7 weeks before their big day! With me being based in Lancashire and them being based in Yorkshire, we had only chatted via email and Instagram.

Emily cracks me up. She told me several times “how chill’ she was. Yet her wedding questionnaire was the most detailed document I have ever seen. This is something that we both still laugh about months and months after their wedding day. Despite her complicated paperwork, they actually were both 100% chilled on the day.

Cockley Wood Wedding

Emily and Josh’s day was amazing, colourful and super chilled. Like I said, they are an alternative couple so they wedding outfits and accessories didn’t come as a surprise. Emily’s flower crown was so pretty and it matched Josh’s jacket perfectly! They had opted to have a Kerrie, a celebrant conduct their ceremony. This way, it was really relaxed and they could even do shots whilst getting hitched (they also had shots just before too)!

They were joined by their two Beagles, Pig and Bauer. Being a massive dog lover, I just had to have several cuddles with them. They joined the newlyweds for some photographs in the woods and also greeted the wedding guests. They went down a storm.

Before they actually got married, they asked me if they had to behave during portraits or could they just be themselves. I said to them that getting their personalties out is a must! What I didn’t expect was for Josh to jump on Emily’s back for a piggy back through the woods! I almost missed the shot though as I was crippled with laughter.

Food and drink is very important to these guys and I was well fed – happy Jane! There was a grazing table, pizza oven, dairy free ice cream and of course, fresh coffee from Grumpy Mule!

I would absolutely love to be a Cockley Wood wedding photographer again in the future. Especially if it is as fun as this one.

Where to even start?! After a last minute cancellation from an alternate photographer, Jane saved the day with only 7 weeks to go. A stressful situation at the time but one of the best things to happen.
My husband and I aren’t posey people. We wanted to show our humour, character and love for each other as well as our friends and family. Jane captured our day so so perfectly. Jane was amazing at positioning us, suggesting funny and loving poses and ideas.
We loved every second with Jane, laughing, interactive with our dogs and guests. The feedback from our guests on Jane’s personality and work was absolutely incredible.

Jane, we can never thank you enough for creating such beautiful photos and capturing so many amazing memories. We’ve just about stopped crying at the incredible shots. See you for our 5 year anniversary?!

In summary, if you want someone who’s interactive, passionate, fun, lighthearted but will work their backside off for you on your special day, she’s your gal.
