Choosing your Photographer - a buyers guide
So you’ve chosen your venue, you went with something that suited your style, had that wow factor, that looked great, gave you the confidence they could host your wedding and also fitted with your budget. Now to book a photographer.. and you go purely on how cheap they are…. *NAAAW* (BGT buzzer alert) Look I understand we are all on budgets, heck if we weren’t there would be so many people getting married at St Pauls Cathedral and having a knees up at Buckingham Palace it wou
2018 - A Year in Review
With The Beast from the East, Brexit confusion, Novochock, Korea, The World Cup, Heat waves, floods and wild fires you'd be mistaken for thinking 2018 was a bit of a pants year. Well let me tell you, aside from all those depressing things, my 2018 rocked!! There was so much love in the air, every single one of the weddings I shot this year was amazing and full of the best emotions. I may even have shed a small tear hiding behind my camera at a couple of them. I met so many in
Alice & Matthew | June 2018 | Elsham Hall | Lincolnshire
When I was first contacted by Elaine at Bride Beautiful from Elsham Hall in Elsham, North Lincolnshire about Alice & Matthews Wedding I was super excited, Elsham Hall is an amazing venue and I knew that with Bride Beautiful taking care of proceedings it would an epic day. We met at Elsham Hall as both Alice and Matthew are London based and had chosen Elsham Hall in North Lincolnshire. It was not only the place Alice's parents had wed but also her grandparents and so held a hu
Seria & Anthony | June 2018 | The White Heather | Lincolnshire
So what can I say about Seria & Ants wedding. It was awesome. They had the wedding at the The White Heather, Caernby Corner, Lincolnshire and we couldn't have asked for a better day. The marquee at the white heather looked amazing, decorated beautifully with all Seria & Anthonys little touches which gave it a personality all of its own. As a lincolnshire wedding photographer I was blown away. Anthony held his nerves right up until Seria walked down the isle and then the emoti

A Year in Review - 2017
Well what a year it was, I shot over 20 amazing Brides & Grooms last year, more engagement shoots than I can count (on my fingers and toes anyway) and so much more. It was a year for emotions and love and I just loved it... 'Loved it ya' hear!!!' So I've picked out some of my favourites from this year for you to have a gander through. There's so many more but we only have one lifetime so I'll keep it quite short.... Brides and Grooms to be, grab a coffee, sit back and enjoy a
Frances & Rob | The White Heather | September 2017
If I was ever asked which of all the weddings I've done was the most emotional, Frances and Robs would win hands down. Tears of nervousness, joy, happiness and just a feeling of utter love that engulfed the whole day. I don't mind admitting being caught up in the emotion myself that day, thankfully at those times I can hide behind my camera. Both Rob and Frances were calm but very nervous in the morning and I just knew it was going to be a good day. They had chosen to get mar
Charisma & Lawrence | Branston Hall Hotel | 15th July 2017
Now this was such an awesome wedding... Two of the loveliest people I've met in one of my favourite Wedding venues, Branston Hall Hotel, in the heart of Lincolnshire on a beautiful summers day in mid July.. What more could I ask.. Charisma and Lawrence's little girl, Isla, was a superstar on the day and the Groomsmen and Bridesmaids/man were not only mega supportive but loads of fun too...
You know this is why I love doing this job, seeing people you've become friends with
Photojournalism, Documentary, Reportage? What is it anyway?
Now unless you've been living under a rock, don't know anyone who has been married in the last 10 years or simply have no interest what so ever then you may have noticed a rise in the amount of reportage or photo journalistic wedding photographers advertising their services to the bridal masses. You may of course see these photographers advertising this and actually wonder what that is and what involves. Also known as documentary photography its basically "a photographic styl
Bear Grylles, Woods, and a Couple of Friends...
This was an awesome shoot for me as I've known Phil & Emily for a while. I met them at the gym a couple of years ago now and we have become firm friends, so when they told me they wanted me to photograph their wedding in Fiskerton, Lincoln, I was stoked. Its not something I'd usually do, shoot a friends wedding, business and pleasure is usually something I try and keep completely separate.. I'm not James Bond you know... Except this occasion however when we met up for the eng
Is my Photographer Affordable or just a Rip off…
I see so many photographers advertising themselves as an affordable option these days. Now I won’t lie, when I first started I did the same, seemed like a reasonable way to advertise myself to potential brides and grooms and knowing how everyone, just as I do, loves a bargain I thought it was a surefire winner. Now I have always had a pride in my work and while I’d be the first to admit my first weddings weren’t up to the standard of work now but it was, in my opinion, still
A Theatrical Affair
A Theatrical affair indeed it was when Duncan and Kate got hitched.. They had decided to get married on stage at the Drill Hall Theatre in Lincoln City Centre and WOW it did not disappoint. When Kate & Duncan first told me about plans to have an Oscars themed wedding I couldn't have been more excited, I love theme weddings, so much thought goes into them how can you fail, not that Im saying no themed aren't amazing too but theres something about having a theme that I love. Th
Country Wedding Bliss
A fantastic June day in 2016 saw Joanne and Ben say their vows to each other and show off their love in front of their friends and family. The Wedding at the Ramada Resort in Marston, Grantham couldn't have gone better, well organised, fantastically run and brilliant friends and family that had nothing but joy for Joanne and Ben. When I arrived the bride and bridesmaids were already in full swing, having a great time getting ready for the day ahead and I knew it was going to
Cheryl & Ed's Wedding Day
The Beautiful Wedding of Cheryl and Ed on the 30th April 2016 was an amazing affair. It had threatened rain for days before but on morning of the big day the sun came out and Cheryl and Ed were blessed with an amazing day to remember.. The big event happened at Branston Hall Hotel, Lincoln, an amazing venue with fantastic period features and the most beautiful grounds I have had the pleasure to shoot in. Lakes, bluebells, open fields and an amazing backdrop of the hall itself
The Perfect Day.....
Theres no denying it, weddings are stressful. All that planning, all those people doing different things at different times.. Its a logistical nightmare!!! Ive seen it all, cakes not turning up, downpours of rain, unexpected snow drifts, the wrong flowers, split trousers and not forgetting the drunk groom before the ceremony. But you know what, none of these things ruined the day, not a one. Take these things in your stride, breathe and remember its not the end of the world.
Do you really need a Professional Photographer for your Wedding?
Its something I hear a lot, "Do I need a Professional Photographer? Uncle Bill has a camera, he could do it', 'Theres a guy I know who will shoot the wedding, he's not done one but says he will give it a go'... So should you spend your hard earned money on a photographer when theres so many camera phones, uncles with cameras and part time half penny have a go amatuer photographers out there.... If you cut corners with the cake, hardly anybody will realize, nobody will remembe
