Alicia & Tom

My friends Alicia & Tom were married last month in Lymm, Cheshire. I was there as a guest, but as their photographer was with Tom throughout the morning I arranged to go and see Alicia getting ready.

Alicia making the finishing touches with her two bridesmaids, Ellie & Natalie.

Beautiful sisters....

The girls...

Alicia & her Mum, Jan.

And a lovely moment with Dad.

Alicia, you are gorgeous.

I couldn't resist grabbing a couple of photos of the first dance.

Alicia & Tom - thank you for a lovely day. Can't wait to see you both soon xxx

Elizabeth & Chris

Elizabeth and Chris were married at the end of May at the beautiful Alnwick Garden. There was a bit of rain earlier in the day but the sun was out in time for a lovely reception after the service in the gardens.

Elizabeth looked stunning as did her little bridesmaid Sophie.

Chris - you did too :)

The ceremony.......

The flowers were done by Hannah of Wildflower and were beautiful, as her work always is.

The gardens offer endless opportunities for photographs.

The walled garden......

Elizabeth & Chris organised a treasure hunt for all their guests whilst we were doing some photographs. It involved finding rubber ducks that were hidden throughout the gardens. It was such a great idea - we kept seeing people running with ducks in hand to find the next clue!

We were just in time to catch the newly planted tulips in bloom.

and the speeches were brilliant!

Elizabeth & Chris - your wedding day was truly lovely. I hope you had a perfect honeymoon.....see you soon x

Carinna & Jethro's Wedding

It was Carinna and Jethro's wedding last weekend. The weather was fabulous and the whole day was relaxed, full of fun and a real joy to photograph.

The ceremony was at St George's church in Jesmond, which was beautiful.

All the guests, including the bride & groom travelled from the church to Otterburn Tower Hotel for the reception, in an old double decker. Cakes and eye spy kept everone entertained enroute!

With a four piece band playing, Pimms and games on the lawn, it was a brilliant reception at Otterburn.

And endless great spots for photographs.

The evening was in full swing as I fininshed for the day. A rock and roll band had everyone on the dance floor and the hog roast smelled amazing!

Alexia & Jamie

Alexia & Jamie are getting married next month at the beautiful Guyzance Hall in Northumberland. I met with them and Alexia's son Jamie a couple of weeks ago, for a walk along Hadrian's Wall for their portrait session.


Kenzie came along too and had a 'mini portrait shoot' of his own.

Elizabeth & Chris

Elizabeth and Chris are getting married at the end of this month at The Alnwick Garden. We met a couple of weeks ago for their portrait session in preparation.

The portraits were done in and around the stables where Elizabeth keeps her horse Ricky.....who joined us for the session.

I can't wait for the wedding at Alnwick and we are hoping for the cherry orchard's new field of tulips to be out in full bloom.

Sam, Michelle & Mark

I grew up living next door to Michelle and her family and she now has a family of her own - little Sam, being the star of the show. I called round last week to see them all and take some family portraits. Sam was in his element just tootling around the garden, investigating leaves and twigs.

Being tickled and thrown up in the air by Dad brought out the smiles.

Family Portraits

A couple of weeks ago I met with Sam and her family to do a surprise portrait session for her husband's birthday.

We did the portraits at the family home in Cheshire which made it easy to include the two dogs and two rabbits too!

Even little daisy was involved, who was less than a week old!
