Well, firstly I LOVE colour, all of the colours of the rainbow make me super happy so I find smoke bombs a fun way to inject a little bit more colour into a photograph. If you're having an outside wedding in a field, you're surrounded by a lot of green, pop an orange and yellow smoke bomb behind you and it really makes you stand out in your photo more!
Read MoreUp today is Jess & Bryans super fun, alternative wedding at Kings Weston House, Bristol. I actually met Jess whilst I was at University (UWE). We both took the same course where rather than write a dissertation, you write a business plan. Mine was on wedding photography of course and Jess's was on a cake business (wait until you see the wedding cake she made!). So when Jess first enquired I already knew it was definitely going to be an awesome laid back wedding!
Read MoreOh hey there! I hope you've all had a bloody brilliant Christmas, are suitably full from festive feasts and are ready for the New Year! I know a lot of people do "year in review" style posts so I thought I'd jump on that bandwagon and follow suit!
Read MoreLuckily for me Leah shares my love of Christmas - infact I think I can probably say she loves Christmas more than me and anyone I know! So coupled with the fact I knew this and knew there would be hints of Christmas (at their July wedding!) I suggested the possibility of a Christmas Market shoot and they were super keen on the idea!

Read MoreHappy Autumn! If you follow me over on Instagram you've probably started to notice I'm already embracing Autumn (my second favourite season, Winter is no. 1 obvs). So I thought it was perfect time to share some Autumn wedding inspiration in the way of Michelle & Aarons Rustic wedding at The Fennes, Bocking, in October of last year. Fennes is a beautiful Essex wedding venue that I've been luckily enough to photograph at a few times now and each time I find new places inside the house or in the beautiful grounds.
Read MoreIf you've followed me for a while on any form of social media you may have seen me talking about my love for stationary - So I must admit I'm forever lusting over invites & stationary at weddings (or on Pinterest & Instagram). There is SO much out there but today I'm sharing a few of my favourite suppliers and styles at the moment!
Read MoreFor a bride, when beginning to plan her wedding one of the most continuous thoughts (and most asked about questions from friends!) is finding 'The Dress'. Long? Short? White? Ivory? There are so many things to think about when considering what dress you want. Theres also a LOT of choice out there so whilst it can be a good thing, it can also make the search for the perfect dress very stressful!
Read MoreBeing a wedding photographer that loves to photograph alternative weddings I’ve seen some awesome stuff! Being an alternative wedding photographer based in Essex however I have noticed there is still some sense of stereotyping that goes on. I’ve heard people say that they wanted “XY&Z” but couldn’t find the suppliers, or the venue suggested they do this that way, or florist didn’t understand the concept they wanted and ultimately gave in to tradition… I’m here to tell you can totally cut up that rule book, flick away that sterotype and have the day that YOU want, especially in Essex!
