I never expected to shoot a first dance in a church car park with a travelling brass band but I guess 2020 is throwing all sort of weird stuff at us and nothing surprises me much these days.. Sophie and Matt married in Nunthorpe with probably the most beautiful views in Teesside. Their Blackthorn Gate wedding is postponed until next year but it didn’t stop them having a perfectly small wedding with their nearest and dearest followed by a distanced dance-off.
Read MoreEddie and Tina married 2 years ago last month (they’ve since brought beautiful Vincent William into the world - the most beautiful blue-eyed boy..) They giggled and smiled all the way through their vows, said I do, came out of the church to be covered in confetti, escaped to their transport under umbrellas during an April shower, hugged, kissed and loved everyone who came to celebrate them and then partied HARD into the night.
Read More“Having seen Sally’s portfolio I knew we would love her photos but I’m still blown away by just how much we love ours. The colour, the style, what she has managed to capture - all of it is perfect. She managed to get both of us (who don’t really like having our picture taken) to look so happy and comfortable…..
Read MoreYou have done such a great job (we knew you would) and captured the day perfectly. The attention to detail and thought that went into the photos is amazing. Also, being a couple that don't much like having their photo taken, we barely noticed you there on the day and you were great at putting us at ease and keeping it informal with the couple shots which have also surpassed our expectations!
Read MoreAnother ‘Magic Seven’ post for you this fine Sunday! For these posts I select seven favourite images that I feel tell the story of a wedding or are snippets of the day that I just loved.. and this time it’s Kate and Joe’s fabulous and colourful Ormesby Hall wedding in Teesside.
Read MoreIt was so good to be back at the beautiful Fig House on the Middleton Lodge estate in North Yorkshire for Ashleigh and Richard’s wedding. These two were joined by their wonderful girl Evangeline, who was a real whirlwind of fun all day and the fact that this day was about the three of them as a family really added something extra-special to the day.
Read More“When it comes to saying ‘Thank You’, it’s really hard to know where to start! You really have captured the magic of the day. They are absolutely beautiful and memories we will treasure forever!
It was a real pleasure having you as part of our day and we can’t imagine you not being there. You made everything so easy and nothing was ever a bother - everyone loved you!
You are so talented and anyone who has you as part of their day is very lucky indeed! We are super grateful for everything and we hope we get to see you again in the future!”
Read MoreIt gives me great pleasure to finally share Hannah and Dan’s stop motion film from their fabulous wedding at The Talbot/York House in North Yorkshire last October. What a wedding..
“Dan and I sat down last night and watched through the video and pictures - wow! Just WOW! We were absolutely blown away by them! You’ve totally captured every moment of the day. You were absolutely amazing on the day and really put us both at ease! Thank you so, so much!”
Read MoreAshley and Richard - what a fab start to 2020!
These two were a pleasure to hang out with all day for their relaxed Engine Shed wedding in Wetherby - it was all right up my street! I hadn’t shot at the Engine Shed before - it’s a fab old industrial venue in Wetherby and I loved the look of the place. Ashley and Richard told me it just felt very ‘them’ more than some of the ‘grander’ wedding venues out there, and they’d had styled it up beautiful (I especially loved the neon!) and we managed to grab a few shots in the February sunshine as well before heading in for food and speeches.
Anyway! Here are some favourite shots from the day while I work through the rest - ‘til death do us party!
Read MoreFor my first ‘Magic Seven’ of 2020 I thought I would pick seven favourites from a wedding that got an amazing response back in 2017 - *drumroll*… it’s Ed and Sorrel!
Their wedding was originally featured in OK! Magazine which felt all kinds of exciting, and went on to be featured more fully on the Rock My Wedding Blog.
Read More“Not only are the photos perfect, but it was a real pleasure having you play a part in our special day. We’re not the type who particularly like being in front of the camera but you made us feel completely at ease. We are so glad we chose you!”
Read MoreIt’s time for my 2019 highlights! Every year I dig back through folders and hard drives and pick out some favourites from the year and do a bit of a ‘review’.. this year was my busiest *ever* and it took a while to narrow it down to this set but here you go! Big love and happy 2020 you lot!
Read More“We expected them to be fab as we love your work, but we were still blown away by just how gorgeous they are - fully obsessed and I don't know how we will pick just one or two to frame at home...!”
Read MoreOne of my favourite parts of work is creating stop motion films.. they take an absolute age to put together, they involve processing thousands of photos, hours agonising over music choices, fiddling and adjusting and tweaking over and over again.. but when they finally come together it feels like magic - the photographs become alive; it’s a completely different way of reliving the day.
Read More“Having Sally as our photographer was one the best decisions we made for our wedding.
On the day she was brilliant, moving subtly between guests to capture shots and handling delicate family situations with the utmost professionalism and tact.
The photos themselves were out of this world magical.”
Read MoreHannah and Dan! What a laugher and fun-filled day.. my face actually hurt from smiling and laughing after your wedding!
Hannah and Dan married in Malton, saying ‘I do’ at the town centre church before walking down to the Talbot to celebrate afterwards. They held their reception in the house and then a marquee in the gardens which was styled beautiful with a mix of greenery, elegant touches and nods to Dan’s love of cricket. They danced the night away to a ceilidh (always the best idea IMO) - it was SO much fun and the perfect wedding to end my wedding season on.
Read MoreJust look at these colours! Do I need to say much more? Alex and Andrew married at the Fig House on the MIddleton Lodge estate one beautiful September day and it was absolutely stunning. After sharing a few preview photos on my social media I had dozens of messages about Alex’s incredible ‘3D’ wedding dress - how beautiful and how absolutely perfect for the time of year and setting is it?! Their styling at the Fig House was simple and cool, lots of personal touches and fab ideas which suited the room so well.
Here are a few favourites from their day..
Read MoreThe sun really shone for these two.. it was one of those truly beautiful September days, the light was gorgeous, it felt like one of the last days of Summer, and everything felt so easy - just perfect.
Read More“Thanks for the amazing job you did and the effort you put into the day! The photos are fantastic and the stop motion film is so good! We must have watched it 1,000 times and it’s a great memory of our special day we will have for the rest of our lives.
Not only are the photos perfect, but it was a real pleasure having you play a part in our special day. We’re not the type who particularly like being in front of the camera but you made us feel completely at ease. We are so glad we chose you!”
Read MoreI mean.. that light just speaks for itself, doesn’t it? Rachel and Tom had a beautiful September wedding at Doddington Hall in Lincolnshire. The venue was spectacular - totally stunning - and we were lucky enough to have access to the gardens and that sun set for some photos. The main reception was in the Couch House at Doddington Hall, guests played garden games and relaxed before dancing the night away to their rock wedding band Anthemic. Absolutely wonderful stuff.
Here are a few previews from Rachel and Tom’s sunny September wedding day..
