Here’s another cracker of a mini wedding I shot recently, coming to the blog soon! Paula and Scott eloped to Perth with their beautiful campervan and cute fur baby 😍

I’ve been lucky enough to photograph a few “micro” weddings in the last few months, including Leanne and Stuart’s mini ceremony at the end of January. With only 5 people allowed to attend (to include the couple, the celebrant and 2 witnesses) I also had the honour of being one of the witnesses. I can’t tell you how much joy things brings me, that they chose to have their day photographed professionally when they were so limited by the restrictions. Can’t wait to share more from their ceremony and couple shoot, just look at those outfits! 😍

Hello March! The longer days and glimpses of sunsh

Hello March! The longer days and glimpses of sunshine have certainly been a welcome addition the last week, although is everybody else going outside expecting it to be warm?! 🙈 Thanks so much to everyone who has been in touch over the last month, it’s been tough but we’re getting there. Now that Thea’s back in nursery 🙌 I’ve got time to get excited about work again, and even though weddings and family shoots are still on hold I’ve got lots of plans for the next few weeks and months. I’m also focusing my energy on unnecessary renovation projects at home (Michael’s thrilled 😆) so I might share a few of those on stories, I know you lot love interiors chat!

I’ve been fairly quiet on here recently and whil

I’ve been fairly quiet on here recently and while I wasn’t planning to talk about it, I have decided to take a break from posting for a while (and more importantly feeling guilty about not posting), so I’d like to be open and share my reasons. Two days before Christmas we sadly lost a much longed and waited for baby. It was a missed miscarriage only picked up at the 12 week scan, so the news was a shock, especially as we had seen a healthy heartbeat just a few weeks earlier. Then, a few days ago, Michael’s dad passed away very suddenly and unexpectedly. In all honesty it has been horrendous, and made ten times worse by lockdown, but the one thing it has confirmed is how amazing and supportive our friends and family are.

I’ve photographed 2 amazing micro weddings during this time, and I feel awful that I haven’t shared any of their images yet. Images that I love and I’m really proud of, but it just hasn’t felt right. I’d love to give them the attention they deserve once my motivation is back.

So I’m going to take a little break from social media to help support Michael and take some time to grieve both losses. I will still be replying to emails and editing behind the scenes. I’ve been so excited to see new bookings start coming in for 2021 and 2022, I appreciate things are still uncertain with regards to COVID but there is hope.

For anyone going through a similar pregnancy loss and/or infertility I’ve found these accounts helpful...

Sadly there still seems to be a stigma attached to talking openly about miscarriage and infertility, so if by sharing this I can help even just one person in a similar situation feel like they are not alone, I’ll be happy.

Look after yourselves, and I’ll be back on here soonish with some amazing couples rocking their small COVID-friendly weddings 💕
