What is a formal photo list? Put simply, its list of photographs that you want photographed in a formal, traditional way. The ones where your family and friends and lined up and asked to smile at the camera.

It’s that time again. Time to choose a “word of the year” to set my focus and expectations for the year ahead.

As the end of the year draws near, I am always excited to reflect on the last 12 months and put together a look back post.

Headshot sessions have been popular recently so I thought it would be a good idea to provide some useful tips and provide some guidance to help you make the most from your session.

Who’d have thought that a mid-November Wedding could be so sunny?!

The concept of an outdoor photoshoot is still a bit of a mystery to some people so I thought I would talk you through a typical shoot and discuss their many advantages.

September has been a busy month on the wedding front and Fiona and Iso’s celebration was probably my biggest event of the year.

Alex and Ben’s celebration was definitely unique! Taking place in the beautiful City of Oxford, they had decided to split their celebration across two days.

Full disclosure - Jessica and Matthew were already married when I joined them to photograph their wedding party at Owl Lodge in August.

Having met Lily and Michael earlier in the year for their pre-wedding photoshoot at Grittleton, I was really excited to how all of their wedding plans came together.

It seems as though the sun is destined to shine every time I visit Elmhay Park!

Oh my goodness, I have photographed some AMAZING celebrations out at Grittleton House this year and Anabel and Guy’s wedding was no exception.

I honestly lost track of how long I had been waiting to photograph Emma and Andy’s wedding! When their Wedding Day FINALLY arrived I was definitely excited to document it for them.

Well, what can I say about Tammy and Sean’s wedding at the Moonraker Hotel in Trowbridge? It’s been a little while since I was here for a wedding but I was really looking forward to documenting their day.

I had been looking forward to Lucy and Simon’s Wedding from the moment they had first contacted me!

After meeting Grace and Brad at Grittleton House earlier in the year for their pre-wedding photoshoot, I was amazed how quickly their wedding day had come around.

Over the last few years I have gotten really fond of shooting small, intimate weddings. And so when Nicola and James got in touch to ask if I was available to shoot their wedding at Salisbury Registry Office, I was very happy to tell them that I was.

I am so happy that Harriet and Shane finally got married earlier this year! It was third time lucky for this pair who had postponed twice over the last couple of years!

Natasha and Matt were yet another couple who had been on a huge rollercoaster of a wedding journey. Their wedding cake topper summed it up perfectly with a simple statement… “finally”!

Pauntley Court is one of those venues that has been on my radar for a long time. It wasn’t until Lucy and Theo booked me, however, that I had the chance to actually photograph a wedding there.
