I have a ton of images and posts lined up, but will start with this gorgeous little family Nicholas and Dawn along with Lewis.  They celebrate their love with a beautiful ceremony at Crab and Manor hotel Thirsk.�
I love photographing here it is just like a fairytail wedding always, i love seeing new faces and seeing a mother and fathers love spilling out with emotion for their little creations. Its a magical thing.  I arrived here a little bit late and i was a little bit stressed, there had been an crash on the A19 and had held me and the bridal party up from  getting to the venue… i felt alot better when i arrived and seen that Nick was as cool as a cucumber! Dawn was in very little time to get ready but still found time to get her bridal party ready first…well done you.! The sunshine was out at every right moment and my bride and groom looked every bit in love… perfect!
Stay tuned for more wedding blogs and more studio sessions.

So im over half way through my weddings for this year, always booking for the next and planning for my own.  The best thing for me is that i get to see everyone else’s weddings see all the insperation, see how beautiful they have it,  get practical advice from my clients, and awesome contacts.  Its a full on thing when you are planning a wedding… its like having another job.  Meet this my wedding couple and let the photographs tell the beautiful story. congratulations Kenny and Katherine. x

I entered Victoria’s home, what a calm bride if ever i seen one, i never thought i would use calm and bride in the same sentence.  Everything began to melt away. I was immediately submerged into a sea of exquisite details, beautiful energy, and was truly in awe of Victoria’s beauty.  She has waited nine full long years to hear the sound of wedding bells.  As she makes her way to the church to meet David her husband to be she has a melt down with her daddy, all is good and we continue down the isle. We venture to Ward Jackson park for some jaw dropping photographs… which i can not wait to start editing!  Back at the Grand everything in place, a happy bride and groom and a wonderful party ready to get started.  You should be proud of the day you put together. The party, the fun. I think everyone had a wonderful time, i know i did.  Enoy being Mr and Mrs Kidd. love and hugs x

Barbra and Alan, they are two kind of people who i could photograph over and over again… Pete my partener always ask’s how my day has gone… i could’nt stop talking about this one, all the awesome pics they were up for, all the amazing details, the big group of fun groomsmen, the orginized bridesmaids…And the very adorable two babys.  Thank you for having faith in my photography.  For inviting me into your worlds,   into the most intimate details of an extraordinary day.  Your wedding was straight out of a magazine.  Infused with all sorts of amazing.  Thank you for choosing me to be a part of it. Barbra… seriously? SERIOUSLY? STUNNING.

My job is my be all and end all.  Completely… and it shows in my work,  i capture it with children, new born photo shoots, anyone who knows me knows this is my weak spot!  and weddings…ahhh Weddings.   One of which im going to be planning myself very soon. That day has arrived that my man asked me to marry him.  Since i was ten years old i wished for this day, i knew what i wanted and how it was going to be, What i should look like and what the venu should be, the colours the flowers the dress….. I just didnt have the man!  It was ten years ago that i found my groom. i knew that one day we would marry, its took its time but here we are with an engagment ring that’s just WOW!   We are already a family with our beautiful little boy Pierce, so this day next year is a day for us all… let our wedding planning begin.  And im told its going to go so fast, before i know it it’s going to be my day,  just like Saturday was Nicola and Shawn’s day… the planning was wonderful, you could just see how much time and effort she had put into her day for it to be every bit fabulous.  An amazing couple together, two big hearts,  two big smiles and lots of LOVE and  so great to photograph, all the family and friends there to celebrate.  They were relaxed and happy and so happy for me to apture the day as it happend
And that people, is how you do it!!!

My dad would say  “surround yourself with good people”.
I can’t say that I disagree.

We are so lucky to have such wonderful, kind, loving people in our lives.  We are truly surrounded with good people. Big hearts go a long way with us.  I’m all about the big hearts.

When i first met Leanne and Nick…. they reminded me about big hearts! The way they where with each other, the laughs, the smiles, the love… maybe thats how they won this amaxing prize!  These guys are the lucky two who won a fantastic wedding package from Hartlepool radio.  Photography from myself was one.  They receivd the full shabang!! from hair, make up, cars, dress, flowers, rings, venue, hen doo and stag doo….. THE LOT!

The photographs are amzing and the day was magic. just love the pics in the park… well done Leanne, start as you mean to go on.

This weekends wedding was Beautiful, welcome Amy and Darren… both a little shy… both didnt want there photos taken, both amazing,  A beautiful day,  stunning bride, gorgeous guests, loving family members… a perfect way to spend my Saturday.

She was perfect from the moment i walked in the door…. one word for Leanne and its Miss Giggles!! Wynyard Hall is not only a stunning resort. But an amazing wedding venue as well.  The staff are wonderful, the rooms exquisite and the views breathtaking.  Here are my very favorites from Leanne and Alexs wedding that we done on saturday, the sun was out and everything was perfect.  I do have a problem though!  There are so many more perfect photos from there wedding that i cant possably put them all up.!  Cant wait for you to see them when you get back… enjoy yourself xx

A fellow photographer emailed me yesterday to ask me a few questions about my business, my clients and how I go about my everyday bookings, and essentially how I got to be where I am today. Answering her, I was struck by how much my business has grown and flourished in the past three years. Humbled, and as always grateful. One of the questions she asked was…

When do you feel most successful as a photographer?

My instant reaction and immediate response was “When my clients see their images, and cry.” Thats how I measure success. Honestly. I love nothing more, than when those who have chosen me to capture their treasured memories for them, are speechless, are happy, are thrilled. That means more to me than anything. So in thinking about it, I realized I may need to share with you some of the heartbreakingly beautiful images from a few of my wedding clients. I am so honored they chose me to photograph their weddings, and so terribly happy that they love their time with me, and their images. Enjoy.

Its the 1st of December today, the first day of christmas. I cant wiat its Pierce’s first crimbo and its going to be great.  Here we have  Debbie and Phill, such a great pair and another fabulous addition to my last wedding sessions of 2009. There wedding was fab and it went so smoothly, it was perfect in every way. no stress, no hassel….. just pure fun, happiness and love.
where has this year gone, before you know it, it’s Christmas… then New Years… then wedding season again… (oh wait… and Pierces 1st bday somewhere in there too!)
Here is a few of my favorites from such a sweet wedding. I wish you all the best and enjoy your around the world trip guys. Dont know why they didnt opt for a photographer on there hoonymoon! x

OOoops whats going on here!!!

A Happy wedding photographer, nears the end of a busy wedding season.  Armed with her favorite cameras, lenses she heads off to see Andrew and Katie, look at these images, and know, that these two are wonderful.  Such a beautiful bride… She tries not to complain, but is somewhat worn down.  Pregnant.  Emotional.  Not feeling entirely herself.  (Yes, I said pregnant)  Tired. Suffering from a bad tummy and feeling nauseous.  Trying desperately to shake it all off.  And to top it all its with twins!  And looking every bit amazing.  Every one of my brides looks stunning on there wedding day but a beautiful glowing Katie gives all my brides a run for there money.  I just have to say well done Katie for keeping it together…. I know the twins where a little naughty.  What a wonderful crew of people and what a beautiful place to have all of the people you love celebrate your wedding. I wish you all the best and cant wait to see these two adorable little bunddels.  Much love XX

Blame the twins………

Never mind the rain…… look at what amazing photos you get from it.

This is my favorite pic of them both… I think i have caught Andrew just right here…. Cant tell you what he said though….!

Aww Jasmin…… dont be like that….!

I love this, What a wonderful idea to entertain your guest. If you dont know me then its a drawing of me….. And it looks like me to! x

Enjoy the lakes and i will see you three soon. x

Well it was a bit of a bad start of the day for me….Every photographers nightmere, As i walked from my car this friday morning to Natalies hair salon, as soon as I took my camera from my bag it steams up… I waited…. and waited!  Nothing!  What was i going to do?  Normally it would only take a few minutes for it to get back to temp, this had been 40 minutes. I called in my wonderful assistant to bring along another back up! Pedal to the metal flat out she came with my camera! By the time Claire got here my camera wa sworking perfectly!  Typical!

On to there wedding,  Finally it is beginning to feel like Autum. This past Friday turned out to be a beautiful day, with gorgeous people, adorably little children and a bride and groom who are perfect. I was certainly not disappointed.  A perfect day, for an amazing couple… Meet Adam and Natalie and all of those who love them!!!
