Bourton Hall Wedding Photography | What the Day Actually Feels Like
If you’re getting married at Bourton Hall and looking for Bourton Hall wedding photography that feels natural and relaxed, you’ve probably already noticed it’s not your typical venue. Everything about it feels a bit more considered. The layout, the space, the way it all opens up. It’s got that big, clean, modern feel to it, but without losing the atmosphere you actually want on a wedding day. It’s not stuffy, it’s not overcomplicated, it just works.

A Quick Easter Check-In (And What We’ve Been Up To Behind The Scenes)
Feels like one of those weeks where you blink and suddenly it’s Easter, so here is my quick Easter Check-In. I don’t know about you, but this time of year always seems to creep up out of nowhere, one minute it’s freezing and you’re questioning all your life choices, and the next everyone’s talking about chocolate and long weekends like we’ve not just come out of winter.

The Wedding Day Through Mum’s Eyes...
With Mother’s Day this weekend, it got me thinking about something I see at almost every wedding I photograph. Weddings are full of big moments. The confetti, the speeches, the dance floor when everyone’s had a few drinks and suddenly thinks they’re starring in their own music video.
But if you watch closely, there’s another version of the wedding day happening at the same time. A quieter one. The version your mum's eyes experience.

The TRUE cost of cheap photography...
It’s tempting to pinch a few pennies where you can, and budget-friendly wedding suppliers might seem like a steal. But when it comes to wedding photography – the one thing that will preserve your big day forever – bargain-hunting can lead to heartbreak.

New surroundings, new headspace
You may recall back in June I posted about looking for like-minded business entrepreneurs to take part in a skill-swap, where I was offering my skills in exchange for your business skills/services and boy did we have some fantastic interest in this!

A VERY Proud Dad of my daughter...
In a total plot twist, today's blog isn't about the classic "father of the bride" or "father of the groom" role. Nope, it's about yours truly stepping into the limelight!
