What They Said –

I cannot recommend Jules enough. She completely immersed herself in our whole day, capturing the most beautiful candid moments and coming up with ways to make us feel comfortable during our portraits. She’s amazing at her job and I’m so grateful to her for capturing the real feel of the day!.. If I could give 10 stars I would!!

Get To Know Our Couple

How did you meet?  At Benicassim festival in Spain after our first year at university.

Tell me a little about the proposal. –  [From Mel’s POV] Harry let me plan a trip to the lakes (very clever as I would definitely suspect otherwise) and let me choose which mountain to climb. I chose Blencathra which I had my eye on for a while. It was a warm June day and Harry had to splash water on his face when we started climbing from a nearby stream due to getting a ‘headache’ (definitely nerves). He found the whole walk challenging and kept telling me so but at the peak I was checking out the view and Harry said “how about this?” holding up the most beautiful and perfect ring. I just giggled and took the ring!!

What made you choose your venue? We knew we wanted to split out the ceremony from the party, a pub for the first day being ideal, and a brewery for the party just sounded fun! Mel loves the lakes so much and really wanted the wedding to be there. Mel (instead of working) did a load of research and we only ended up viewing the Buttermere Court Hotel with its dramatic views and the Venue in Kendal for its proximity to Manchester and knew they were perfect!

We booked Jules for our wedding in September at Rudding Park in Harrogate and she was amazing! We are not really the most photogenic or posey couple for photographs, we just wanted to be relaxed and enjoy as much as we could of our day with our guests. Jules definitely did this for us! We couldn’t recommend her enough. Receiving the photographs so soon after the wedding date was an added bonus too. Thank you Jules for capturing so many amazing memories of our wedding day at Rudding Park Harrogate.

One of my favourite Ribble Valley wedding venues for beautiful wedding photography is the Outbarn in Clitheroe. If you haven’t seen this venue up close, you must visit one of their open days. They run around 6 each year. Mainly in February and March, and then later in the season around October and November time. Looking forward to Outbarn wedding photography in 2024. I currently have 5 bookings  in the diary, plus several bookings are already secured for 2026. More Outbarn wedding inspiration

Couldn’t recommend Jules enough. Jules made our wedding day so special and stress free. The communication was amazing and we knew exactly what to expect on the day. Jules also checked for any important people we wanted on our photos to ensure these weren’t missed out. Jules captured every gorgeous moment of our wedding day and precious moments we didn’t get to see in the madness of the day itself. Jules is really relaxed and makes the photos fun, rather than having a camera in your face all day she really makes it feel so natural. We’ve had our previews and they’re more than we could have hoped for. We can’t wait to see the rest of the photos. Thank you so much – if anyone is looking for a wedding photographer, look no further!

Proposal – We got engaged in Chester. Joe had taken us away for a relaxing night away and a spa weekend. Joe had “nipped back up to the room” to get our things ready, however he was actually writing “marry me” on the bed out of rose petals and rose petals all over the floor with fairy lights leading up to it.

Our Venue – I found the Outbarn on Instagram, our baby was around 5/6 months old and we decided if we didn’t get married now, we weren’t sure when we would get the chance to and wanted to do it when our daughter would be involved.

Back at West Tower after a  8 year break – was last here photographing a beautiful winter wedding in 2016. Just like buses though i’m back here again in just 2 weeks! So I  can official say I am a the West Tower Wedding photographer of the month! Really enjoyed being back at West Tower, such a stunning venue with beautiful backdrops everywhere. More about Elena & Johnny’s special day further down the blog, but for now read their awesome review

My husband and I first met Jules at one of the biggest wedding fayres in the North West as we specifically went to find a photographer for our wedding day. Within 10 minutes of speaking to Jules  we instantly knew she was the one! Up until the build up to our big day, Jules was nothing but reassuring and made sure we were ready for our big day in terms of photographs. Jules made sure she captured every perfect moment and fine detail. I just cannot explain how much she made us feel at ease on the day and to be honest none of us even remembered that she was actually there taking photos she hid that well!! What we asked for was captured and even made getting everyone together to be in photos work like clockwork!

Her work is just truly beautiful and so colour and natural so you know what you are getting is real. Even our guests commented on her fun personality as to how lovely she was and we did very well picking Jules. You will not find a better photographer than Jules and will have zero regrets booking this fabulous talented woman. She is fully booked every year for a reason and glad we snapped up her up fast 2 years in advance even. Thank you ever so much Jules for capturing our perfect day and I will always recommend you to anyone getting married!!

West Tower Weddings – get to know the couple

• Tell me a little about the proposal. – Jonathan had booked for us to stay at the Lakes Spa Hotel in Bowness on 8 March 2022 as part of my valentine’s gift. I’ve always wanted to stay at this hotel and said I’d love to stay there one day as they have Jacuzzis on the balconies. We had planned to go out for food that evening but decided to go for a walk whilst the sun was setting as it was a lovely spring evening. Whilst on a walk overlooking Lake Windermere, he decided to get down on one knee and pop the question which was a lovely surprise. It was just us two in the moment and it felt so special.
• What made your choose your venue? I had been researching wedding venues online and instantly fell in love with West Tower as you could have the ceremony on site and stay overnight too. The interior and gardens surrounding the venue is just stunning. We both went to look around and knew instantly it was the one and what we wanted. I got this feeling inside and knew I wanted to get married there.

This dreamy Ribble Valley winter wedding photography at Shireburn Arms  has to be one of my favourite ever festive weddings. Mostly because of Sophie & Matt, but also because of the dreamy golden hour we appeared at Cromwell bridge. That midday sunshine is always a corker at this time year.  As you can see Ribble Valley winter wedding photography looks stunning, so don’t let the cooler months PUT you off. Soft enough to shoot into but strong enough to give the perfect golden glow. This was my first December wedding at the Shireburn Arms, although over the years I have photographed at this Clitheroe wedding venue in pretty much all seasons, with my other favourite month being April, when the cherry blossom tree in the garden is in full blossom. If you get just the right window the tree will have enough blossom on the tree but also a layer of pink blossom on the ground too. Making the prettiest of photos – link here to see the proof!

Wedding photographing at Bartle Hall, is a complete treat. Absolutely love this venue, what a gem. Over the last 4 years I’ve photographed around 20 wedding and have 5 in my diary pre booked for  2025 and 2026 too.  The stunning surrounding woodlands make a gorgeous backdrop for your wedding portraits as well as the elegant period features in the country house hotel. You can  choose to have your ceremony inside the manor house, the barn or outdoors. So with all this choice & accommodation you can see why its so popular with couples across Lancashire and the North West. Wedding Photography at Bartle Hall is always a joy for me  Wedding Photography at Bartle Hall also get the BEST sunsets. There that so many gorgeous spots to catch this.

From the moment we met her we knew she was the photographer for us. Prior to the wedding we had a pre wedding shoot with Jules which was brilliant. She made us feel so comfortable and the photos were beautiful. On the day Jules was amazing! She fitted right in and went above and beyond. She was more like a friend on the day. We are in love with our photos and can’t thank Jules enough. She captured the day perfectly and we couldn’t ask for anything better

Meet my Bartle Hall Couple!

We met when we were 17 years old at our mutual friends house party (he is one of our groomsman and takes every opportunity to remind that he introduced us ), we have been together 12 years this year

Cameron bought the ring ( I wasn’t aware) he went with his mum and my best friend to pick it. He had planned to propose during a weekend away in York, but he got too excited and proposed on a random week night in his bedroom at his mum and dads house, as I was going to leave….he shouted me back upstairs and he was down on one knee.

Bartle was the first venue we visited and instantly loved it. The surrounding gardens are beautiful and we love the contrast between the country house and barn.

Wyresdale Park Wedding venue in Lancashire, is an absolute gem!

This colourful Wyredales park wedding was a total real treat, beautiful venue and real great couple. I’ve had the pleasure of photographing two wedding at Wyresdale Park in Lancashire in 2024 and both have been beautifully colourful. I actually think both Chole & Suzie, my brides from both weddings chose me because of my colourful, virbrant, editing style. My style is  always captures the natural colours rather than muting colour or damping them down. If you’re looking for a  Wyresdale Park wedding photographer to capture the colour then please keep reading. I may just be the Wyresdale Park photographer for you!

Wyresdale Weddings

There are so many beautiful colourful backdrops at the colourful Wyresdale weddings. There are stunningly awesome woodlands, the lake – where you can be brave and take a little trip out on the lake. The hall itself it also a stunning spot for portraits. What a reay love about Wyredale Weddings is the beautiful lodge where brides can use to get ready. The lighting in there is just perfect and the backdrop of the room make for lovely backdrops. The lovely light ceremony room is also a favourite. Every season would be ideal, as there is tons of natural light flooding into all the barn room. Just perfect for flattering photography.olourful Wyresdale Park wedding photographer

I just adore big bright bold LOVE colour, so when your booked to photography an Autumn wedding at the stunning Lancashire wedding venue, Eaves Hall, you have to do a little happy dance. This time of year at Lancashire’s Eaves Hall is just a beautiful sea of reds, golds and browns. Add the hazy golden hours that Autumn gives us and its really has to be my favourite season in the wedding calendar. So when Rebecca & Adam booked me as their  Autumn wedding photography at Lanacashire Eaves Hall   it was a dream booking.

I don’t often get blown away but she was honestly absolutely perfect and we are so lucky she was apart of our big day! She exceeded all expectations and made us feel extremely comfortable throughout the day. She wasn’t just a photographer but also a friend, giving us great advice and looking after us throughout the day and evening. I cannot wait to see the finished results as I know they are going to look more than perfect! 10/10 in every category! Lots of love, Adam & Rebecca xx

Chic, relaxed and full of personality, that’s exactly what springs to mind when I think about photographing weddings at this recently renovated Lancashire wedding venue. The River Barn is perfectly designed with a blank canvas in mind. Its modern,  classic and just stunning to work at – I love IT HERE! . This is also exactly how I would describe this lovely couple, Rob & Rebecca too

As a River Barn Wedding Photographer, I can honestly say its a dreamy venue. If you looking for an intimate venue with class then River Barn  weddings hit the spot. I’ve been lucky enough to have photographed several weddings at River Barn and every time is offers me something different. From beautiful summer outdoor weddings, to this very windy, but very  stunning autumn wedding.

• How did you meet? – We met whilst working together at David Lloyd gym in Chorley. Friends first for a year and then started dating. We quit work after 4 years to travel together.
• Tell me a little about the proposal – travelling through India at the time. We spent 7 weeks in the country. The type of travel that will test any couple. We went to the Taj mahal. A place where it was overrun with people and way too busy for a quit intimate proposal that I wanted. Sunset, on the river at the front of the Taj mahal, rob manages to get a small wooden barley floating wooden boat. Paid the man $5 and we set out for the sun set and picture of the Taj.
• What made your chose River Barn?  -We went to school with James the owner, he contacted me about the new venue they had made. I instantly fell in love.

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!…

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
