I reckon we could all do with a little pick-me-up at the moment right? Well let me be your photographic fairy godmother and grant you the opportunity to win a free couple shoot! ✨
You don’t have to be engaged or married, just you and your significant other will do! We spend around an hour and a half together and we end up with dreamy photos like this one here 👆🏼
I’m going to run the competition from this weekend so keep your eyes peeled for how to enter 👀
Even if you don’t fancy winning this amazing giveaway, feel free to tell your mates who deserve a treat! Watch this space for details on how to win...

Are you new here? To save you one whole scroll dow

Are you new here? To save you one whole scroll down my grid, I’d like to say hello and tell you a little about myself (clue: this is me in the photo - I’m on the right).
If you’ve stumbled across this photo then you may be in the midst of planning a wedding, or we’re super great pals in the real world. Here are some things about me as a photographer and human:
• I’m a full time wedding photographer based in Essex, but happy to shoot around the UK and beyond - I’d love to go back to Italy for a wedding *hint hint*
• I’ve shot over 100 of my own weddings so I have a fair grasp of what to do, but each one is unique!
• The work you see on my socials and website are real weddings, not styled shoots where models pose for us. I think it’s important you see how we actually capture real life people
• Right at this second I am just about 37 weeks pregnant with our first child, and getting a bit scared about how it’s going to come out 🤔
• The doggy in the photo is our labrador, Cooper
• The worst food in the world to me is baked beans, I can’t stand them. I can’t look at them, smell them or be around them 🤢
• My husband Matt and I like watching true crime, esp murder documentaries. Making a Murderer is our fave. I don’t know why it fascinates us.

Does any of that surprise you? I often get a lot of grief on the baked beans front, particularly when it comes to fry ups 🍳🥓

Ah, the morning of a wedding. It’s difficult to

Ah, the morning of a wedding. It’s difficult to explain how much I miss getting up early on weekends and heading over to your parents’ house, a hotel or the venue. Greeted at the door by someone who looks you up and down and shouts “Photographer’s here!” 💁🏻‍♀️
Stacks of half eaten croissants. Bottles of fizz. Dad trying to keep busy to calm his nerves. Bridesmaids dressed in matchy pyjama sets. Do I want a cup of tea? Yes please. Time going so quickly you begin to worry no-one’s going to be ready. The flowers arrive. I stand in the kitchen with dad and help him with his buttonhole. “Sally!” someone shouts from upstairs letting me know I can go in with the bride as she’s in her dress.
All those things and more are why wedding mornings are so much fun. They are a chaotic, heady mix of excitement, nerves, anticipation, giddiness. And we will experience them all again soon.
Hit ♥️ if this has helped make you feel excited about your own wedding day again.

Did you know that Gosfield Hall isn’t just windo

Did you know that Gosfield Hall isn’t just windows and a stag statue? They’ve also got some lovely grounds with a pretty little wilderness; long grass and a wheat field - you know how I love a wheat field! ☀️🌾
This was taken at Kerry and Lewis’ wedding back in 2018, when we spent a few minutes after dinner getting some beaut shots before the sun started to go down. Where are my Gosfield couples at? 👀
