When Claire & Matt contacted me to see if I was available to be their Mytton Fold wedding photographer, I was keen to say yes! I knew it has recently been revamped and I was keen to work there. Also, this lovely wedding venue is literally 5 minutes from my house making it even better!!

Before their wedding, I asked this gorgeous couple how they met (I am nosey and always loved the details!). Claire said –

“We first saw each other in a pub in Farnworth whilst out with mutual friends. Although we did not speak a word to each other, I thought he seemed an idiot and he thought I was moody! A few weeks later we were both at our mutual friends house and spoke a little, but not much. Later that week Matt added me on snapchat (how millennial of us). And that is our love story!

As you can see, their first impressions of each other was completely wrong! They enjoyed a beautiful wedding day together, surrounded by their friends, family and two dogs, Bella and Rufus! Unfortunately, Claire’s Mum passed away a couple of weeks before their wedding. They made sure she was still remembered though out and even had a table setting for her. Claire had really wanted a fireworks display and wondered why she was struggling to source one – They got married on 5th November, you know, bonfire night! So they opted for sparklers instead.

I wish this lovely couple all the best for their future together. They are absolutely adorable.

If you are interested in having me as your Mytton Fold wedding photographer, please drop me a message. I would love to speak to you!

Sarah invited me along to their Spring Shireburn Arms Wedding Showcase. She went on to say she was hoping to arrange a shoot after the open day and also wondered if I was happy to take some pictures. I obviously said yes! Like myself, The Shireburn Arms is situated in the Ribble Valley. It is perfect for a more relaxed, wedding. It has stunning grounds and amazing views. Not only that, it has a games room!

Country Tea Party Theme

Sarah and the team wanted to create a country tea party feel and opted for pale yellows and blues with a hint of greens and creams. They wanted unclothed, rectangular tables to represent garden benches. Sarah went on to say she wanted it to feel fresh and light. For this particular shoot, we included a Mother of the Bride as this is a fresh take on who else plays an important part of a wedding day. The ladies hair and makeup was also fresh, simple and natural to fit the overall vibe of the day.

As I said, The Shireburn Arms is set in the heart of the Ribble Valley in Lancashire and has stunning, natural backdrops. As well as taking shots of indoors this amazing venue, I was keen to get plenty of outdoors ones.

I shoot at The Shireburn Arms a lot. It is clear to see why this is a Ribble Valley favourite wedding venue. If you are interested in having me along as you Shireburn Arms wedding photographer, drop me a message. I would love to discuss your plans with you.

In the mean time, just look what happens when you get some great suppliers under one roof!

Elizabeth found me via Instagram. She asked if I was available to be there The Mill at Conder Green wedding photographer. I had shot weddings there before. So I knew that it was a beautiful wedding venue and had some great photo opportunities. When she went on to tell me that they were also getting married first at Lancaster Priory, I knew I wanted their wedding!

The Couple

Sam and Elizabeth used to see each other on nights out around Lancaster. Sam often visited the shop in which Elizabeth worked. Eventually, they got to talking. One of their very first conversations, they were joking that they loved each other and would get married! It turned out not to be so much of a joke in the end!

The Engagement

Elizabeth recalls being really cross with Sam as he had secretly taken out a credit card. She confronted him about it. He had to confess that the reason he had taken it out was to buy her an engagement ring! He had planned to pop the question whilst they were away in Paris. Instead, he took her by surprise and asked her over Christmas. It was such a good job that he did bring the proposal forward as Covid-19 struck and they had to postpone their Paris trip for 2 years!

The Wedding

Like I said, this gorgeous couple chose to get married at Lancaster Priory because it is just a 2 minute walk from their home and they could think of their wedding day each time they saw it. They chose The Mill at Conder Green as they love the canal running along side and also so they can call back in with ease.

Their wedding day was so cold! The church grounds were solid frozen and we all had to tread with care. These two weren’t phased by the cold and were keen to make the most of the golden sunlight and the beautiful grounds at both venues.

I love being a The Mill at Conder Green wedding photographer and would love to get some more in my diary. If you are thinking of getting married, drop me a message to discuss.

Jane is an absolute professional. She definitely knows her way around a wedding and was so efficient at getting the pictures we wanted without taking too much time so we were still able to enjoy the day. The pictures are absolutely amazing!!

Hey there!

What a year. Am I right? I love being a Lancashire based wedding photographer! I want to start by saying a massive thank you to all of my couples, past and future. Thanks to all of the lovely suppliers I have worked with and to all of my followers. Your continued support means the world to me.

2022 saw the 6th year of my photography business and my 5th year of being a Lancashire based wedding photographer. I can’t believe how quickly it has actually gone.

This year, I have shot some amazing weddings for some fantastic couples. Most of them have been in Lancashire but I have also worked in Manchester, Merseyside and even Devon! Like I said, I am Lancashire based, but I am happy to travel for certain weddings.

Below are some of my favourite shots from the past years weddings. If you scroll a little further, there is a slideshow with some extras. Enjoy!

Lots of love,

Danny and Leah viewed several Lancashire wedding venues before finding their dream venue – Mitton Hall. Leah said each venue they visited has a little something missing and she couldn’t place it. Although Leah’s Mum told them to go and have a look at Mitton Hall, Leah hadn’t gone. But then one day, a friend took her there for a birthday drink and she instantly knew that’s where she wanted to get married. She took Danny back a couple of days later and they booked straight away! Next, they booked me to be their Mitton Hall wedding photographer! Yay!

The Couple

Although this beautiful pair of party animals are both from Burnley in Lancashire, they had never crossed paths until they met at a rave in Blackpool and were instantly inseparable! Leah decided to take Danny home to meet her family. As they arrived, Danny announced that he had definitely been to her house before but couldn’t remember why. Leah was worried as she has a sister and was concerned things were about to get awkward! It turns out, that several years prior to them meeting, Danny had done some work on their drive. Leah actually remembered him doing it. Her and her Mum had felt sorry for the young lad who had been dropped off alone and in the rain to work. It seems fate wanted them to meet! Danny and Leah are an amazing couple. They have a very similar personality and bounce off each other.

The Big Day!

So, it was now Leah and Danny’s wedding day! I met the bridal party over at Leah’s family home in Burnley. The sun was belting down, the girls were all really excited, I knew it was going to be a good day. Hair, makeup and fizz were in full flow. The atmosphere was amazing.

I headed over to Mitton Hall ahead of the girls. I was met by Danny who was wearing a white tuxedo (a first for me, I love a first!). He had an excited and nervous energy going on and was keen to get started.

After a beautiful civil ceremony and confetti shot, the newlyweds and I took a trip out in their wedding car to a local beauty spot for some stunning portraits. Cromwell’s Bridge at Hurst Green is part of the Tolkien trail and a lot of couples like to go there for some portraits on the iconic bridge.

Leah and Danny’s wedding was amazing. It was full on from the word go. Their friends and family were all incredibly welcoming and up for some fun. Wayne Farrow was there to entertain throughout the day along with Darren Brand the magician. Tom from Exceed Events (DJ) was there to take over from Wayne and these guys were loving it!

I shoot weddings at Mitton Hall a lot. I often get asked if I get bored of shooting in the same venues. The short answer is, no I don’t. Each couple and each wedding is completely different. I have just taken another booking for it and I can’t wait to get back! If you would like to discuss having me as your Mitton Hall wedding photographer, please drop me a message here.

This gorgeous couple share a passion of everything outdoors! They own horses and dogs. So having a Lancashire festival wedding on the farm where they keep the horses seemed to be the perfect idea. That way, the dogs and Splash, the horse could make an appearance for photographs.

Getting Together

Briony & George have very different versions of their getting together story. Briony tells people they met via a mutual friend whereas George says they met on Plenty of Fish (the dating app). In truth, they are both right. A mutual friend had introduced them to each other and then George followed it up by messaging her on the app. Briony still prefers her version all this time later. 3 years later, George had arranged a surprise party at The Crown & Thistle in Darwen and here is where he proposed to Briony in front of everyone! Luckily, she said yes!

Pre Wedding Shoot

5 weeks before Briony & George’s wedding, we met at Marles Wood, Dinkeley for a pre wedding shoot. They brought along Meg and Lottie, their black Labradors. Being an owner of 4 dogs, I absolutely love it when couples bring their dogs along. George and Briony had warned me that they hate having their photograph taken. I explained that I knew where they were coming from because even though I am a Lancashire wedding photographer, I don’t like having my photo taken either. I also reminded them that they are a gorgeous couple! Anyway, we walked a short way, chatted and played with the dogs. Before too long, they both settled down and were really relaxed around my camera. We had chosen the perfect evening for a walk. It was warm, but not too hot and the sun started to set on our way back to our cars.

Festival Wedding Day

After having to postpone their wedding in 2020, Briony & George’s wedding day was finally here! Briony and her bridal party stayed over at The Millstone, Mellor. I met them there for bridal preparation. Everyone was really calm but excited for what was ahead! George and the groomsmen got ready and met at The Butlers Arms, Pleasington for drinks before the ceremony. The pub is literally a stones throw away from Pleasington Priory so it was the perfect meeting point.

A beautiful wedding ceremony later and the couple were now Mr & Mrs! The tipi was only a short drive away in Blackburn. It was an absolutely stunning setup; perfect for a Lancashire festival wedding! There were loads of details and I LOVE that! There were straw bales to sit on, gorgeous floral details, ribbons, a camp fire, a clay cake topper with the couple, Splash the horse and Meg and Lottie (the dogs). After Splash, Meg and Lottie left after their photo shoot with the newlyweds, we took a short walk for some beautiful portraits. The farmer came along on his tractor with a trailer of sheep. True hilarious style, we stopped him and asked if Briony and George could jump in the cab for some pictures. It was so funny and I am so glad we did it as the pictures really showed off their personalities to a tee!

Party Time!

Back at the tipi, the BBQ was cooking and it smelt amazing! Ryan, the host ran a series of games. All the guests were really up for it and got involved. In fact, the whole wedding was full on. Where ever I looked, there was always something going on; drinking, laughing, dancing, kids playing huge garden games, there was a wedding painter and also a caricature artist. Then, Dough Boy arrived to make fresh pizzas!!

Briony & George chose Donna Lewis – I Love You Always Forever as their first dance. Ryan was DJing and Callum was playing the Sax. It was epic!! The dance floor was incredible. So many people were on there and everyone was loving it.

I love a wedding with a difference. If you are having a Lancashire festival wedding (or anywhere else, actually), drop me a message to discuss!
