AWARD WINNING WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHY
Why do I love entering photography competitions?
I’m naturally quite a competitive person, I always have been. For me I see awards as a way of registering progression in my career. When you work for yourself you don’t have the monthly appraisal so I see the awards as mine!
I’m really excited to say I have just been announced “Top UK Female Wedding Photographer of 2017” by the Masters of UK Wedding Photography. I am a member of the world renowned ISPWP (International Society of Professional Wedding Photographers) and the world famous Fearless Photographers. My work has won awards from a number of organisations such as the ISPWP, Masters of Wedding Photography, This is Reportage, Wedding Photography Select, Fearless Photographers, MyWed and Wedisson.

I love irregular choice shoes! I’ve got a little collection of them myself.
As Katrina was about to throw her bouquet at Samlesbury Hall, a friend kicked off her shoes right in front of me before she ran across the grass to join in.
Sometimes you take a little risk and sometimes it pays off. This was one of those times.
It’s one of my most talked about photographs, but also one of my personal favourites.

This is a completely unposed wedding portrait of Emma and Alex from their wedding at Heaton House Farm. Emma’s beautiful long veil was blowing in the wind as they were walking from the gardens after taking their wedding portraits.
For me the timing in this capture tells the perfect story. You can see Alex has grabbed the very end of the veil just as it was about to fly up high.

This definitely has to be one of the photographs I’m most proud of. As I was beginning to explore the world of documentary wedding photography I realised how important it is to take photographs with context.
To prepare, to expect and most importantly to execute. I’ve got a pretty picture of these gorgeous shoes on a cute chair. But now I’ve got an awesome picture of these gorgeous shoes in context as they arrive at Styal Lodge.

I absolutely love this photograph. I love how much personality it has which is also enhanced by the colour in the sky. At Colshaw Hall when the weather’s nice quite often couples will cut their wedding cake on the lawn. It’s such a beautiful setting.
I was admiring the cake (naturally) and thought I would take an image with the contrasting sky in the background. As I was doing so some of the guests were practicing their gymnastic skills on the lawn too. This is what happened next…
