Last year I shot weddings in some of Liverpool, Wirral, Cheshire and the North West’s most exciting venues. But my favourite has to have been travelling all the way to Nottingham for Natasha and David’s wedding at Holmepierrepont Hall. A simply fabulous venue.

Then there was Helen and Stuart’s wedding at the Hillbark Hotel in Wirral. Wow!

My first Indian wedding – thanks Anita and Aash!

And finally, there was Ruth and Peter’s at Inglewood Manor in Cheshire.

So what of this year? My highlight is probably going to be in May when I shoot my first wedding in Liverpool’s unmatched Sefton Park Palm House. I just can’t wait. I’m also looking forward to my first wedding at Knowsley Hall in February. And if those venues weren’t enough, having photographed the outside of St George’s Hall many times, I’m finally going to be photographing not one but two weddings inside the Hall.

Further afield, I shall be travelling up to the wilds of Yorkshire for a shoot at The Inn at Whitewell and down to wonderful North Wales for a session at Seiont Manor.

This year is going to rock.

Not exactly Asia, admittedly, but Nottingham and Norfolk.

We’re doubly excited as both David & Natasha’s Nottingham wedding on Friday and Jon & Jemima’s Norwich wedding on Saturday are with fantastic friends and phenomenal venues. On Friday, we will be at the sublime Holme Pierrepont Hall with its fantastic gardens and then after a not-inconsiderable drive, we’ll be in Norfolk for a wedding in Framingham Pigot’s gorgeous old church. The sun will be shining, smiles will be abounding and oh boy are those shutters going to be clicking!

I can’t wait!
