The stunning hills make a gorgeous backdrop for your wedding portraits, giving both contemporary and country vibes.

Absolutely brilliant photographer! – we both don’t feel too comfortable with formal photos and Jules made us feel so so comfortable, she was on it all day long snapping everything. I couldn’t believe how many images there were and also the turn around of getting them back!! Absolutely amazing and I highly recommend to anyone. Thank you for capturing one of the most important days of our lives! We will forever treasure them forever

Amy & Kieran’s Kind Words

Jules is the most incredibly talented photographer! We booked her for our wedding 2 years ago and had a pre-wedding engagement shoot a year earlier to familiarize ourselves with the camera experience. The pictures from this are amazing and I truly cannot wait to receive our wedding photos! The way she captures natural photos in the most beautiful way is unmatched!

Get to know the couple

• How did you meet?- We met on Bumble in Oct 2021 and our first date was at mini golf in central London, what was supposed to be a 2-hour date MAX was a full 8 hours of taking until the bar kicked us out!
• Tell me a little about the proposal – We were in Egypt and had got up at 5am from jet lag and decided on a walk along the beach. At the edge of the pier Kieran proposed and it was so beautiful with the beach scenery but no-one around. Although the ring almost fell into the sea it was perfect!
• What made your choose your venue? -The perfect mix of modern and rustic features, as well as the friendly staff and incredible fireplace which is *chefs kiss* for a winter wedding.

Beautiful Hobbit Hill in the heart of the Ribble Valley it’s a stunning location for sure. Kari & Liam’s celebrations were my fourth time as a Hobbit Hill Wedding  – More about this gorgeous pair  special day further down the blog, but for now read their awesome review!!!!

Rave Reviews 

Where do I even start with Jules. I am lost for words but I’ll try! My main worry about our wedding was that my partner absolutely HATES photos, I don’t think he would’ve been bothered if I told him I hadn’t even booked a photographer! It was a major concern of mine how he was going to deal with it on the day and I was really stressing for a long time about it. But oh WOW. After the ceremony we went off for our couples photos. I cannot explain the difference I saw in my husband. He was totally relaxed because of her. He was actually enjoying posing for the pictures!!! Even to the point he was showing Jules some of his own new poses he’d come up with. He was absolutely loving life and from the last 7 years I’ve been with Liam I have never ever witnessed this from him around a camera. From the minute I met Jules I felt completely at ease, I felt like I’d always known her !!! Our pictures speak for themselves and I could actually cry because she has made all my dreams come true having the pictures I’ve always dreamed of having at my wedding! From the bottom of both our hearts… THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!!!!!

I cannot recommend Jules enough, from start to finish she was the PERFECT fit for our special day, we felt comfortable and completely at ease with Jules. Jules blended in with our guests and felt like a friend on the day rather than a photographer which made for the most amazing pictures. I’ve cried multiple times looking back on the pics as she really managed to capture the happiness and fun of the day.

Thank you for making me feel beautiful and capturing memories of the best day of our lives, you are wonderful

I LOVE photographing at new venues, so  being booked by Charlotte & Joe to be their Victoria Warehouse Wedding Photographer was a big thumbs up. Don’t get me wrong I love all my Ribble Valley favourites &  the wedding venues that I’m lucky enough get too every season. However there’s something nice about seeing a venue for the first and challenge of eyeballing all the best spots for images. Where is the light looking beautiful, interesting colours and unusual backdrops. Victoria Warehouse is definitely an Icon building. Based in Trafford Park, Manchester, close to  Manchester United football ground and the O2 music venue. It was originally a old cotton mill, back in the day, so has bags of character, quirk and is definitely a different vibe for a wedding venue. ABSOLUTELY love it! – its soooo my bag. Would love to go back! – so if this it your wedding venue, hit the link below for a personal quote.

Victoria Warehouse Wedding Photographer

I LOVE to find out a bit more about how my couples met and how they chose their stunning wedding venue!

• How did you meet?

Charlotte and Joe met in April of 2014 on Tinder! While studying in her 2nd year of Uni, Charlotte would swipe carefully on tinder, analysing every eligible bachelors’ profile, assessing their bios and pictures before deciding whether to swipe right. Joe however, got finger ache from swiping right on EVERY SINGLE WOMAN in the hope one would be a match. Lucky for him, he’d passed Charlottes scientific profile analysis and it was a match! Weeks of texts and facetimes ensued before they eventually met in September, and by 7th October (9 years ago exactly today!) they were official! The years that followed saw 4 homes, 2 cities, 1 cat, 2 kids, holidays, getaways, and countless gigs. These two are all the cliches, the Ying to each other’s yang, a matchmade in heaven (on tinder).

• Tell me a little about the proposal

After Joe convinced Charlotte to have her nails done outside of her usual 4-week schedule, Charlotte had a suspicion that a ring might have been on its way, but she had pestered Joe to pop the question for years to no avail. One evening a few days before Christmas in 2019, Joe wanted to take Charlotte for an early Christmas present. A late-night drive to Saltburn-on-the-Sea had Charlotte confused. They pulled up at the bottom of the pier, which was illuminated in the dark with fairy lights. They both hopped out of the car watching the waves and the stars when Joe got down on one ACL damaged knee and popped the question! Saltburn holds a lot of sentiment for Charlotte as it was her late step dad’s favourite place, so it’s no surprise that a big yes and ugly crying ensued!

• What made your chose your venue?

We had loads of visits to venues planned… and VW was the first, we instantly fell in love with its alternative feel and the industrial vibe of the whole venue… I later took my gran to the venue to show her where we’d picked.. she looked around and was disgusted I’d picked somewhere that wasn’t conventionally pretty… at that point I knew id picked the perfect place hahah!

Winter weddings can quite simply be beautiful, especially when then are on such a special day as New Years Eve. When you are lucky enough to be an Ashfield House Wedding Photographer, weather is not a problem either as there are so many places indoor as well as outdoors to capture those awesome photos. Slotted in between these beautiful photos from this gorgeous NYE December wedding at Ashfield house in Wigan I’ve put together a list of reasons to which may be a game changer if your undecided about whether or not to go for a stunning winter wedding. Here we GO!…

Kind Words

Ashfield House Wedding Photographer

Ashfield house is simply a gorgeous blank canvas. It has the grand feel of a manor house, yet homely. Its  jammed packed full of quirky details (old and new), yet somehow manages to soak up the personality of each couple. The atmosphere is modern, chic & elegant. It has the charm of a manor house on its own estate, but on a smaller scale . Which is ideal for large weddings or a midweek intimate wedding alike.  I’ve  been lucky enough to be a  Ashfield House wedding photographer on numerous occasions. It never disappoints and no matter what time of year, its just stunning to shoot at. This wedding Ashfield House was New Years Eve, some would consider a bleak time of year, but just check out these images:)

Ashfield house weddings

Weddings at Ashfield House are always beautiful, s o when I was asked if I was available on New Years Eve  to be Kate & Sam’s Wedding photographer at Ashfield house, I was totally in! I’ll be honest a big reason was because of the venue.  After a beautiful traditional church ceremony, we headed over to Ashfield House for the party. All the couples/ family portraits were taken as soon as we arrived. Beating the winter early sunset, and giving Kate & Sam plenty of time to relax with their guests.

Better  Rates!

It will be cheaper!.. its a dead cert that you venue (your most expensive layout for you wedding) will have winter rates and be a lot cheaper than mid summer months. If you go for a Thursday or Sunday you may get even better rates again. Other suppliers such as your photographer, that’s me will also offer winter discounts. I offer discounts for November, January, February & March. Ask around and you may get a discount with all your suppliers making a fabulous saving overall. Extended honeymoon anyone!

No Hot Mess

Lets face it – we think we want a hot sunny day but it really just leads to HOT MESS. The hair and make up melting away. Guys in their 3 piece suits over heating. Me! – taking you into the shade for photos cause the best backdrop at the venue has a blazing sun beating down onto it and everyone is blinded by the light. You get sunburn on or wedding day. I SEEN IT HAPPEN!!. Sunny wedding sound great but in reality it can be too much in a heavy full length dress of dreams, I have seen so many brides melting in the heat of summer and wishing they had gone for a thinner cooler dress. As a Browsholmwe Hall winter wedding photographer I’d say Winter Wedding’s win here too!

Less Stress

Winter weddings can definitely be less stressful to plan, get RSVP’s back from guests etc. In the summer friends are planning holidays and have busy calendars. The kids are off school there are so many factors. During Jan to March people are more likely to be free. It a time of year where not much is happening and everyone is up for a fabulous event  that they can put on their sparkiest outfits and head off to a party . As its a slower time for all us wedding suppliers we are refreshed, are looking head to the new year with fresh ideas and goals so everyone is at there a game.

All your loose ends will be tried up before Christmas so you can just kick back and relax over the festive period and enjoy!

Photos back quicker.

Between April & October the wedding photographer calendar is full on, as this when I shoot 90% of my yearly weddings. December can be a busy month for weddings for me too, but general November, January, February & March are the quieter month. So I can turn around a  full wedding edit in maybe 2 weeks rather than 6 weeks. Your videographer will possibly be the same. Get to see all you amazing photo & memories straight after the honeymoon. Sometimes I even send them to my couples as while they are on honeymoon.

Sunning Snowy Photos

Snow Queen & King… how dreamy would a white wedding be. Now I know that no one can really plan for a white wedding, its just pot luck isn’t it. I’ve had the pleasure of photographing a several of snowy weddings and they are just the beautiful. The photography is amazing as the snow bounces light everywhere., which it so flattering against the skin. Wellies are a must which adds to the relaxed fun feel of the photos, although I have had brides who have braved the wedding shoes for that awesome shoe shot.

Go Glamour!

Dress up for a winter wedding – you can make it all about the glamour. As the temperatures are not melting. The guys will love to wear the full dinner suit and the ladies can go to town with disco sparkles and full on hollywood furs for that winter chill.  Sparklers at night will add to that whole winter wonderland affair

Rossendale Wedding  photography- WHAT a wedding! When a wedding venue has something a little different, then it gives me something exciting to get creative with.  Being based in Lancashire, I’m luck enough to photography at many unique wedding venues.  However this particular venue not only extremely unique, its based in the next village to home, in Helmshore, Rossendale.

Sarah & Jason an absolute joy to work with, right up my street. They met via a popular dating app, arranged to meet for a drink and the rest is history. They said they fell in love with the venue as it wasn’t a traditional wedding venue, that it was unconventional and rough around the edges. We also love Dot’s approach to farming and what’s she’s working towards in making her farm sustainable and eco-friendly

After a traditional church ceremony, in Jason’s home town of Clitheroe Lancashire we all travelled to Cronkshaw Farm in Rossendale for their party and wedding celebrations. We had a wonderful afternoon, feeding chickens, watching  the talented sheepdog round up a herd sheep. Drank beer and eat Lancashire crisps – What a total Joy!!

Cronkshaw   Farm

Ribble  Valley   wedding    photographer  – This awesome farm is located in the beautiful Alden Valley in Northern England   As well being a fully working farm, that offers venue hire for weddings & events, You can stay here in any of 4 types of rustic accommodation that they offer, including a TREEHOUSE! They can provide educational visits, toddler activity days & sheep dog demo sessions. You can zoom a goat, so they can give a special message to a loved, join in your work meeting or even have yoga session with the goats!

Cronkshaw Farm poultry, meat goats and sheep alongside our kitchen gardens, honey bees and broadleafed woodland. They use farming practices that promote healthy soils, care for the countryside, increase local wildlife and preserve traditional rural skills such as dry stone walling, hedge laying, coppicing and companion planting.

Choosing a photographer for your special day is quite daunting….are they going to make me do those cheesy poses, keep me away from my guests for hours or make really awkward jokes?! Thankfully, Jules came highly recommended by our venue and after looking through her Instagram page at previous work and having a quick informal chat….we knew she was the perfect photographer for us – and she did not disappoint!! From the moment she arrived to capture my preparations in the morning, she felt like a family member. She slipped into the group so easily as though we had known her for years!  We didn’t want to be away from our guests for hours and Jules made sure our ‘Couple Photos’ reflected us perfectly…relaxed and ridiculously happy!

Wedding     Photography   Owen    House    Barn

This gorgeous Cheshire wedding venue is becoming one of my firm favourites. The venue itself it a dream to shoot at, making every wedding I’ve had the pleasure to photography here completely different, creatively exciting  &  so much fun. Wedding Photography at Owen House Barn for me is total wedding perfection.

Owen    House   Wedding    Cheshire

Whenever I get an enquiry from a couple wanting me to photography their wedding its always a real complement. Usually they have normally found me via a recommendation, social media or met me at a friends wedding. Then you get an enquiry from a couple who live in  down the road in the next town, looking for their perfect wedding photographer its always exciting . Then they tell you thy are planning a Owen House Barn Wedding ,you do your best happy dance (for about 10 minutes!?)- Then book me – I do another happy dance.
