IMOGEN & ALEX // A foggy, chilly, Christmas-y weekend turned magical for these two ❄️💍
Married at the beautiful Pannal Church (which was full to the brim with flowers) they were then showered in mountains of paper confetti (so much I could barely see them!) 🎉
After the ceremony, we headed to Newby Hall, arriving just as the light was fading. The rest of the afternoon was spent warm and cosy in the library for drinks, before exploring all of Newby’s gorgeous indoor spaces for couple photos – the staircase, the Bridal Suite and the Tapestry Room ✨.
The celebration continued in the orangery with heartfelt speeches, a delicious wedding breakfast, and a dance floor that didn’t stop moving thanks to their fab band, Truly Medley Deeply 🎶💃. A perfect, festive day full of laughter, love, and all the cosy vibes.

EMMA & SAM // Last month I had the absolute joy of photographing Emma & Sam’s big day right in the heart of York ❤️
They tied the knot at the registry office, then we wandered the city capturing a few of their favourite spots — the Minster, Chapter House Street, and the Museum Gardens — before heading back to the Guildhall for drinks and dinner. 🍾✨
After heartfelt speeches, the evening kicked off with a ceilidh that had EVERYONE on the dance floor 💃🕺 (Emma & Sam even swapped a first dance for a joint ceilidh with the whole wedding party — and yes, it was epic!)
Swipe through for all the love, laughter, and twirls from their perfect York city celebration 💛

MEGAN + JACK // Delivered this gorgeous gallery today!
Megan & Jack filled the Tithe Barn at Bolton Abbey with so much joy — including dancing their way back up the aisle after the ceremony, which I’m now convinced should be standard practice. Their whole day had this brilliant, upbeat energy that just never dipped.
Megan got ready at Meadowcroft (still one of my favourite prep cottages), with gorgeous hair by Emily Hawkes and makeup by Amy George. Meanwhile my ace second shooter Lissa joined Jack and the groomsmen over in Addingham, where they were looking incredibly sharp in black tie. The bridesmaids were beautiful in green, and the green-and-white flowers by Charlotte`s Floral Design were the perfect finishing touch.
It was also such a treat working alongside Matt from York Place Wedding Films again — one of the loveliest videographers and so discreet you hardly notice he’s there (in a good way!).
Southwest Band kept the dancefloor busy all night, but honestly, these two didn’t need much encouragement. They’re the kind of couple who make everyone around them feel at ease — warm, lovely, and completely up for a laugh. A day full of fun, happiness and all the good stuff 🖤💚✨
Congratulations Mr & Mrs S! x

AMY & CALUM // Saturday at The Hovels on the Harewood Estate was pure magic ✨ Amy + Calum’s day was filled with laughter, love, and so many personal touches. From Calum’s dad stepping up as best man 🥂, to the incredible blooms by Leafy Couture 🌸, every detail felt so special.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Amy’s dad even sourced a vintage Mercedes for the ultimate wedding car vibes 🚘, and Chris Stewart the magician kept everyone wowed during the drinks reception 🪄. The speeches had everyone laughing (and a few happy tears!)—especially when Amy’s dad handed out some hilarious gag gifts 🎁😂💛.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
We tried tracking down Cyril the pig 🐷 (he was hiding!), but still managed some dreamy couple shots down the tree-lined lane leading to the venue 🌳💛.

FRAN & JAMES // Last Friday’s wedding at my favourite venue — the incredible Tithe Barn at Bolton Abbey — and what a day it was 😍
Fran & James have been together since sixth form, and honestly, you could feel every year of that history in the way they looked at each other. James was the most emotional groom (not even gonna pretend I didn’t tear up behind the camera 🥹), and their friends? Just the best kind of people — close-knit, hilarious, and so ready to celebrate.
Stunning flowers by Bureau Botany, cakes that looked (and smelled) heavenly by The Flamingo Bakery, and the ever-lovely Simon Manning on video — always a dream to work alongside. 🎥 Marc and Abi had everyone up dancing in record time, and the atmosphere was pure joy from start to finish.
The whole day just had that feeling — easy, joyful, full of emotion and laughter. The kind of wedding that reminds me exactly why I love doing what I do.
Here’s a little peek into Fran & James’ beautiful, emotional, laughter-filled day 🩵
