At the beginning of 2017 I took a moment to reflect back through some of my work from over the last couple of years and noticed how the beautiful British seasons featured boldly throughout many of the portraits I'd taken. Between wedding shoots I am lucky enough to photograph people in all stages of life from newly engaged couples to expectant mothers, right through to large family groups (with every age and stage in-between)! The diversity in nature and unique backdrops offered by a variety of locations such as woodlands, beaches, and vast distant landscapes, alongside our ever-changeable english climate mean I always have loads of great variables to play with. Clients often ask me, "Where should we have our portraits taken and which is the best time of year?" Great questions. Personally I think every season can offer wonderful and differing opportunities that ensure a unique story is told through the images, and this I think is personal for every client. Not only the season but the time of day with it's shifting light opportunities plays a part when planning a portrait shoot, even the decor in a client's home can be a factor that can determine what kind of images will be hung on the wall!

Back in the summer, Claire and Luke tied the knot in a beautiful service at Donnington Church and celebrated with their friends and family afterwards at Southend Barns. I had the pleasure of photographing their special day and witnessing first hand the happiness shared between this lovely couple. We were delighted to receive this kind testimonial from them recently.
Thank you Claire and Luke x

Nibbles 2 Nosh’s Wedding Experience Evening took place at Upwaltham Barns in West Sussex, an award winning wedding venue that is very close to my heart. As it is such a popular venue, over the years I have photographed there time and time again and in the summer it almost feels like my second home! The work ethic of the team is always such a pleasure to be part of - the staff are efficient, professional and nothing is ever too much, but you can really tell it is run by a family who are passionate, caring and full of consideration, warmth and fun.
I feel very honoured that the team have asked me to capture their ‘Wedding Experience Evening’ for the last four years now, and I am always really happy to be involved. The evening is a chance for all future Mr and Mrs to get a real feel for this incredibly gorgeous and versatile venue; to see it decked out in all its finery and think about how they might like it to look, feel and sound, and most importantly sampling and choosing the tasty delicacies they will be feeding their guests. I find the evening a real celebration of all the hard work the team put in, a lovely chance to check out new touches and changes they have made, meet new and inspiring suppliers and of course to meet all the excited couples planning their big days.
