After becoming a groom-to-be myself, I now understand how manic weddings really are. This made me re-think my business and how I work with my clients. My work is based around you, the couple. I am completely bespoke to you and your needs. I have developed these packages to help you find the option that is best for you.
I’m an experienced and creative wedding photographer, and I’d like to think I’ve become adept at capturing those special, and sometimes unexpected, moments. I favour an informal, documentary-style approach, remaining unobtrusive as I obtain naturalistic shots that don’t feel posed or make guests feel self-conscious about having their photograph taken.
Based in Carlisle, Cumbria, I’ve worked as a Lake District wedding photographer and beyond, so whether you’re looking for a Cumbria wedding photographer to make the most of the stunning backdrops the county has to offer, or if you’re looking for a destination wedding photographer, or maybe Just anywhere in the UK, please get in touch and let’s have a chat. As I’m more than happy to travel as a destination wedding photographer!
Nicky & Rob first met on the legendary Pre-Tinder, Tinder, that was MSN… When they were 15. Those were the days! While the young love might have ended at one point they got back together when they were 18 and have been a couple ever since! Over the last decade, they have grown closer and…

When Erin contacted me about photographing her Cripps barn wedding, I was over the moon! You See, Cripps Barn is possibly as opposite to its sister wedding venue Healey Barn as you can get! Healey Barn is in the North East, and the wedding I photographed there was in winter, while Erin & Ross’s wedding venue is…
The Lake District, It’s stunning! It hosts some amazing venues like Low Wood Bay as well, that said it’s also known to rain quite a lot! And my word, at some points on Lauren & Arron’s wedding day it went from lake mist in the distance to torrential rain! As I always say though, this…

Haweswater reservoir is honestly a hidden gem of the Lake District & Cumbria. Out of the way, and while Mardale valley is only a few miles from Penrith, it’s a bit of a trek to get to on some narrow roads. Perfection. The construction of the dam itself started in 1929 and when complete the…
I adore a winter wedding and one at New House Farm was on my bucket list. It’s almost impressive that it’s taken me so long to photograph this stunning rustic barn wedding venue but when I finally got to photograph it for Rebecca & Adam, it was far from a “Normal” Wedding. And I LOVE…
I had never photographed a wedding at the Villa Levens, just outside of the village Levens near Kendal.

Three Hills Barn, man I love this place! It was great being back so soon after my last visit and yet set up totally differently.

Faye & Chris met when they were teenagers, through mutual friends, and have been together ever since! They both love the outdoors with Fell walking and Cycling as keen hobbies alongside watching the MOTO – GP and chilling at home together.

It’s amazing to think how I was only at Armathaite Hall photographing an outdoor ceremony the day before Sophie & Freddie’s wedding day! However, the lake’s district being the lakes… the weather was oh so different! As the day started the weather was beautifully clear over Bassenthwaite, which takes up the majority of Armathwaites stunning…
Dates can be significate to people for many reasons. For Lena & Barry, however, their wedding date has a rather cool twist to it! After meeting and chatting online they found out that they, in fact, lived on the same street as each other. On the 21/8/2018 they finally met in person over coffee and…
It was my first time photographing a wedding at the Old Grammar House in Cartmel, and I honestly can’t wait to be back!

We all know I love a winter wedding, but Abby & Phil’s winter wedding at the Garden At Eden was on one of the shortest days of the year! As a photographer, that’s hard to work with but I love a challenge and I adore this couple!
