Selsdon Park Hotel – Lizi and Dave

Where do I start, two of the most beautiful people I’ve ever met, were married on one incredible Saturday in May. Lizi and Dave had over 200 guests at their ceremony, and each and every one of them were truly overjoyed to witness these two joining hands. The weather (which had been awful the previous day) was just perfect, beautiful blue skies and warm sunshine. They were married at Carshalton Beeches Baptist Church, where they had tea & cakes instead of the usual canapés, before heading off for their evening celebrations at the stunning Selsdon Park Hotel, Croydon. Here are some of my favourites from the day…enjoy! xxx

Happy Hove Family Shoot

Back in August I sold a gift voucher (yes I do gift vouchers!) to a lovely lady called Anna who wanted to give her Mum a birthday treat of some photos of her nearest and dearest. We decided a picnic/playing in the garden with her precious grandchildren was the best idea so we waited for some nice weather and indeed we were spoiled! I headed down to beautiful Hove for this special family shoot and the weather just got better and better as the afternoon went on. I had so much fun and I truly felt like part of the family by the end! This is why I LOVE family shoots, I enjoy them so much! Here are a few of my favourites…I’m also really looking forward to photographing Anna’s next arrival due in August! xxx

Yarra Valley, Melbourne – Liza & Sim

Prepare to LOVE this wedding. Back in early April, two gorgeous friends of mine were married after emigrating to Melbourne, Australia. I was lucky enough to be invited along and simply had to take some photos :) Liza and Sim are two of the most gorgeous people, inside and out, and I miss them both terribly! Luckily they’re returning to the UK for my wedding in September. They were married at Stones of The Yarra Valley in the beautiful chapel, and then went on to have their reception at Yering Gorge Cottages which has stunning views and roaming kangaroos! Here are some of my favourites from this absolutely stunning wedding, how beautiful did Liza look in her two dresses?! Enjoy :) xx
