Have you ever witnessed a wedding that just felt so perfect for the couple, it was like it was meant to be? That's exactly how I felt at a recent wedding shoot I had the privilege of capturing.

What are weddings if not a celebration of love, of commitment, of two souls intertwining in a dance of eternal union? The beauty of a wedding lies not just in the stunning decorations or the picture-perfect setting, but in the real, natural, authentic moments that make the day truly special.

Years ago, a dear friend of mine, Robyn, made a promise to me. She said that when the time came for her to walk down the aisle and say "I do," I would be the one behind the camera, capturing every precious moment. Little did she know that Tom would come into her life and make that dream a reality.

It was a beautiful morning at Callendar House in Falkirk with this amazing couple and their dog.

When it comes to preparing for your engagement shoot, choosing the right clothing can elevate your photos to the next level. Opting for a smart casual look with simple designs and natural colors is a timeless choice that ensures the focus remains on you and your partner. Neutral tones like whites, creams, soft blues, and earthy tones work beautifully against most backgrounds and seasons, creating a clean and sophisticated aesthetic.

This was an incredible experience - an engagement shoot for two souls deeply in love, Kirsty and Joe, surrounded by the enchanting landscape of Preston Park in Stockton on Tees. As I walked into the park with my camera in hand, I could sense a nervous energy emanating from both of them. It's completely normal for anyone to feel a bit self-conscious when being photographed, especially in such an intimate setting. But, as we began to explore the park together, something magical happened.

It was the most perfect afternoon in Portree. The Isle of Skye never disappoints with its dramatic backdrop to capture the real, natural and authentic moments of Dan and Shelley’s Elopement.

Was a stunning morning capturing the real, natural and authentic moments of Jordan and Jacqueline’s engagement shoot at the stunning Calderglen Park. Jordan’s sister and mum had purchased the shoot to celebrate his engagement to Jacquelene.

It's always fantastic to be asked to capture a friends wedding, and this one was no different. Silverwood Lodges was the perfect backdrop for Cat and Iain's wedding. Though the day was overcast, it did not dampen the atmosphere one bit.

2022 has been an incredible year! Here is my year in review with some of the photos i’ve taken throughout the year.

Mel and Hughston’s wedding was an amazing relaxed day, perfect for an equally amazing couple. Founded in Teesside, but with American hints scattered throughout.

Wonderful summers day photographing Ella and Charlie’s Wedding at the Crab and Lobster. There was even alpacas!

Choosing the right photographer for your wedding day is very important decision. Who else will you trust with an Access All Areas pass to your special day? And years from now, when you’re sharing your wedding photos with your grandchildren, will those photographs bring the butterflies rushing back?
