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.

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!

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

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!

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.

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.

Words cannot express how amazing Jules is! From the second we met she made us feel so welcome, and at ease (and neither of us are massive fans of having our photos taken). Jules was there every step of the way and always happy to answer questions, whether it be providing straight forward, but helpful, documents to complete prior to the wedding, to advising on inspiration pics/styles etc. The day ran like clockwork with Jules’ help, with her getting the perfect photo opportunities and even mucking in to help with the bridesmaids and flowers. There were times that we completely forgot that photos were being taken as we were so relaxed. We loved receiving some sneak peek photos the day after the wedding, all of which were absolutely stunning. Jules’ turnaround was so quick, and the added extra of a highlight video was magical, and brought back the amazing feeling we had on the day of the wedding. We have a mixture of staged, comedy and candid/natural photos, and we absolutely adore each and every one of them! Thank you so much Jules for these photos that we will treasure forever. You are simply the perfect wedding photographer

Lancashire   Wedding   Photographers

I normally photography at least 2 wedding at Falcon Manor every year and ever time I always find new places within the gardens and Hall to photograph. There are those classic Falcon Manor images that are always lovely to capture. Like the beautiful back lit late evening image shot outside the front doors. Portraits on the dramatic stairs  are always a must too. I’m always most excited when I discover a new little spot where I’ve never captured before. My love of the silhouette shot is a firm favorite of mine, and at Falcon Manor there are so many spots to capture dramatic Silhouettes. The beautiful windows and doorways just lend themselves to these stunning shots.

Sarah & Luke are the most adorable couple.  This particular Falcon Manor wedding has to be my all time favourites. Not only were these guys so much fun to be around, but photographing their chilly March Winter wedding was a real treat. We popped out briefly in the fresh March air  for some cute sunlit garden portraits. Then made it back indoors to warm up for the dram of the stairwell and wherever else I could get they cuddling If Falcon Manor is your wedding venue drop me a message for your personal quote – Falcon Manor wedding Photographer

Red Hall Hotel in Ramsbottom is one of the most popular wedding venues in Rossendale area. As one of the recommended Red Hall Hotel Wedding Photographers  I am lucky enough to be invited to their open day & fairs. I’ve been involved with many of their styled wedding photoshoots and had my work from these shoots featured in  local wedding magazines.  Helen, Red Hall’s wedding planner often uses my work on her social media posts to showcase Oscars restaurant and weddings at the hotel, which is always a real  compliment!

I was very lucky to be one of the first Piondemn Mill Wedding Photographer when it opened in 2021. Ponden Mill is a very cool wedding venue in Keighley, South Yorkshire. If you are looking for something a little different this cute little, quirky venue could be right up your street.Ponden Mill is set in the rolling hills of Haworth, South Yorkshire. An area that is steeped in Bronte Sisters history.  Its been restored by the owners Barbara & Richard .They have teamed up with the cool catering team ‘Outside Kitchen’, who also help run and over see the wedding side of the business.

On the outside, it looks and feels like a traditional mill but inside its a cool, quirky & chic interior.  The main dining and party area has exposed plaster walls and original features. While the bar area, houses a custom made bar, which has been created from items that were used in the mill, chesterfield sofas & funky neon signage lighting . The overall feel is relaxed with rustic vibe. While  the outdoor has is just countryside heaven.  You can get married indoors or outdoors, and the venue holds up to 150 guests indoors.

Dogs    at      Weddings

Georgia, Ben & their cute little dog Chicco , who was actually the star of the show! – were a dream to photography. Love doggies at weddings, and with more wedding venues becoming dog friendly so are doggies at weddings too couples ?

Quirky     Weddings

The Mill also has the added extra of the stunning & unique Falling Water overnight accommodation for bride & Groom. Richard and Barbara styled Falling Water on the Frank Lloyd Wright building of the same name, looking to create something that embraced and blended with its surroundings. The building invites you to settle into Yorkshire’s scenery and history. The cabin is just off the Pennine Way and you can walk a quick section or make big hikes south to the canal town of Hebden Bridge or north to East Marton.  Deer sometimes come to drink from the stream, owls hunt in the woodland and the whole area rustles with wildlife as the water flows past.

Micro Weddings is the NEW buzz word for intimate weddings & elopements in Lancashire. Small weddings have always been popular for weekday couples or those who have small families groups and want minimal fuss. Covid-19 and the government restrictions re gatherings has made these smaller gatherings – Micro weddings become a whole new thing within the wedding industry and are proving really popular.

Elopements

Ever imagined just running off with your better half and getting married in secret? just the two of you. How romantic! Big party later?  Think how much more simpler it would be. With all your everlasting memories captured forever, with some beautiful  relaxed wedding photos. We always think of elopements as something that happens in 1940’s or Hollywood movies. It really does have that air of excitement about it.  Is an intimate weddings & Elopements perfect for you ?

Weekday Weddings

Monday to Thursday weddings have always been geared towards smaller more intimate weddings . If you are thinking of having a smaller numbers venues are more likely to cater for this on these quieter days of the week. It opens up the wedding dining to maybe even a restaurant rather than a hotel. Making pricing per head a lot cheaper. Maybe keeping things casual with a barbeque. Outfits – dress  & suit can be more relaxed and low key too. For some people this is a real bonus at they have never thought of themselves in the big white wedding dress or 3 piece suit affair.You could go the other way and book the venue of your dreams that you could never afford on a Saturday in the middle of Summer BUT…a Tuesday in January or February maybe right on budget. Just 15 to 20 close family and friends and you have a the perfect day!
