Read MoreLove can mean something different for everyone, some people are lucky enough to find it early and hold onto it, and for others it can take a lifetime just to find it, which brings me to Matthew & Lauren. They were school sweethearts and they had already spent years together, you can see it in the way Lauren looks at Matthew how much she adores him, and the way Matthew speaks about Lauren is beautiful.

Read More“What can I say, we knew they'd be amazing because we picked you as a photographer based on the photos you had done for other weddings. And we were right, they were amazing. There's a perfect mix of candid shots and more formal ones. The way you've composed and edited the shots really show the magical feeling that we both experienced on the day - and we can't wait to have them printed so we can put them proudly on our wall! Other than that, all we can say is thank you for doing an amazing job - you obviously know your craft.”

Read MoreAfter meeting through a friend on a caravan holiday, Emily and Ben quickly fell head over heels for one another, before Ben took the opportunity while on a trip to Mexico. “We went for a long walk down the beach, enjoying a Mexican meal afterwards to celebrate,” says Emily.
Originally planning on saying, ‘I Do’ at Christmas in 2020, like many other couples Emily and Ben had to reschedule their wedding date due to the lockdown restrictions. Their new wedding date was in May 2021 and was my first celebration to photograph after the restrictions were eased. The couple were only allowed a limited number of guests, without any evening guests planned – but their special day was still truly magical, even if it wasn’t the initial wedding blueprint they’d previously had in mind.
