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 week or so ago, I put a post up on social media. I asked my followers and people on my personal Facebook to ask me anything. It was a bold move, and because I like to live dangerously, and honestly, I think I'm a gluten for punishment, I also gave everyone the option to make it anonymous too.

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.

Kelly at Twinkles and Tiaras is one of those people who makes you realise just how much impact the right supplier can have on a wedding day.

After photographing weddings for years, you start to notice patterns. Not just in how days run, but in who makes them easier, calmer, and actually enjoyable to be part of.

Planning a wedding has a funny way of creeping up on you. You start with excitement, ideas, big smiles and a vague sense that you’ve got time. Then one day you’re deep into planning and suddenly everything has a price attached to it. Some expected. Some… not so much.

A couple of years ago, I tried something a little different. Instead of doing things the usual way, I opened the door to skill swaps. Photography in exchange for a service or product that another business offered. No awkward haggling, no favours owed, just two business owners backing each other.

Grateful, knackered, inspired, and ready for what’s next. As the year winds down and my inbox finally quietens a bit, it feels like the perfect time to stop, breathe, and look back by reflecting on 2025, which has just flown past.

Your wedding should feel like you. Not a performance of what you think weddings have to look like. The best wedding days are the fun ones. The ones where people laugh so hard their shoulders shake.

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

First of all, congratulations! If you're reading this, chances are you've just said "Yes!" and are basking in that post-engagement glow. But now that the initial excitement is settling, you're probably wondering, "Where do I even start?".

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.
