Over the past two years since moving over to from Manchester to Rawenstall in Rossendale i have had the pleasure of photographing some Amazing Wedding, Beautiful Brides and Stunning venues.

Listed are just a few that i love and can recommend...

Mitton Hall, Whalley.Mitton Fold, Walley.Haigh Hall, Wigan.Bartle Hall, Preston.HigherTrapp Hotel, Simonstone, Kenwood Hall, Sheffield.Old Mill Hotel, Ramsbottom.Boltholt Hotel, Bury.Victoria and Albert Hotel, Manchester.Midland Hotel, Manchester.Stannyland Hotel, Cheshire.Heskin Hall, Chorley. Recforton Castle, Cheshire. Rivington Hall Barn, Bolton. Ribbington Hall, Preston, Great St Johns Hotel, Manchester, Village Hotels in Ashton and Bury.

If you are considering a few photos in your bridal underware during your preparation photography on your big day you may not want a male photographer capturing those personal shots... in  that case a female photographer can make all the difference.

Even if you not having bridal preparations images taken a female photographer will know all about the hair and gloss and will not be frightened to let you know how to pose to flatter your figure and what looks great on camera.

I specialise in Boudoir Photography as well as wedding photography.I have the skills and experience of putting my brides at ease and getting the most flattering images quickly and smoothly. Making it fun and painless.Even though we all want great images its your wedding day and not a fasahion shoot, so you want time with  your family and friends ....and we remember that!!
