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.

I see it all the time. You get engaged, you start planning, you’ve got about twelve tabs open, and suddenly you’re comparing photographers like you’re buying something off Amazon. They all look pretty similar at first glance, nice photos, similar sounding packages, wildly different prices, and before long you’re thinking, “do we really need to spend that much?”

One of the first things couples ask when they start planning is usually some version of this. “How much does a UK Wedding cost in 2026?”

now absolutely nothing about hair. If you asked me the difference between a blow dry, a bun, or whatever’s trending this week, I’d be guessing at best. So rest assured, the hairspray is firmly in the hands of someone who actually knows what they’re doing. That person is Faye from Faye Elizabeth Hair.

I’ve got no idea who first decided that shouting “cheese” was the magic trick for a good photo, but they owe all of us an apology. The second someone says it, everyone tenses up. Shoulders rise. Eyes go wide. Smiles freeze into that weird, slightly panicked grin you used to do in primary school photos. And honestly, nothing kills a real moment faster than that.

Let’s talk about group photos! They’re one of those parts of the day that everyone knows are coming. Everyone knows they matter. Yet, somehow, they still have the potential to descend into mild chaos if they’re not handled right.

Here is the thing. No one has planned a wedding before they start planning a wedding. There is no secret handbook, no cheat code, and definitely no magic download button that suddenly makes you an expert. So how on earth are you meant to know what actually helps you get stunning wedding photos and what quietly works against you?

One of the biggest surprises couples have when they start planning their wedding is just how early photographers get booked. You secure your dream venue, start getting excited about outfits, décor and the general vibe, and then suddenly you realise suppliers are disappearing faster than the last roast potato at a Sunday dinner. And honestly, I do not blame you for being surprised. Nobody tells you this stuff until you are already knee deep in Pinterest boards and timeline str

Let’s be honest. Most couples aren’t models. You probably don’t spend your weekends practising poses in front of the mirror (and if you do, no judgement). So when the thought of a camera being pointed at you all day comes up, it’s totally normal to think: “We’re going to look awkward.”

Picking your wedding photographer is one of the biggest decisions you’ll make. Bigger than flowers, bigger than table favours, bigger than whether Uncle Dave gets to sing on the mic after three pints. Your photos are what you’ll still have long after the last bit of cake has been eaten, so choosing the right person matters.

Okay, I'll be honest, I'm running a LITTLE behind on these blogs, but for good reason, we've been very busy! So let me give you a catch up of what we have been up to...

This week I want to talk about the lovely Andy and Sam who tied the knot at a venue that's quickly turning out to be one of my regular favourites, Sketchly Grange in Burbage, Hinckley.

We were treated to a well-needed break in the rain and some gorgeous sunshine for the wedding of Kay and Mark at The Fox and Goose, just on the outskirts of Chesterfield.

Every now and then, as a photographer, you come across a couple, who are just an absolute pleasure to be around, right from the get-go. Paige and Jon were the absolute epitome of this,

This week, we've officially kicked off what is set to be an absolutely mental busy 2023 with our very first wedding of the year! What a...

Welcome to 2021! Happy new year!! Robin in a tree I hope you all had an amazing Christmas and despite the restrictions an equally amazing new year! Well, what a whirlwind of a year 2020 was, I think I can honestly speak for everyone when I say last year is a year we'd all rather forget. But I'm all about moving forward so for the time being, so let's move on to 2021. I'm going to kick things off by giving you all a bit of an insight into what's on the cards for the coming y
