Happy Father’s Day to my dad 💙

Not only is he my dad, but my mentor, business partner and best friend. I’m incredibly proud to work alongside him and continue the family business together.

Today, we’re also thinking of everyone who is missing their dad or remembering someone special. Father’s Day can bring a mix of emotions, and our thoughts are with you too.

Wishing all the dads, grandads and father figures a wonderful Father’s Day. We hope you’ve had a day full of love and memories. 💙

We don’t just capture people…

We capture movement.

The way the dress flows, the way the light hits, the way a moment feels as it happens.

This is where photography comes alive.

After photographing so many weddings at Matfen Hall, we’re always looking for new ways to use the space.

Sometimes it’s not about going far…

It’s about seeing what’s right in front of you.

In the middle of a busy wedding day…

There’s always a moment where everything slows down.

No guests.
No noise.
No timeline.

Just the two of you.

These are the moments that stay with you.

Every bride deserves a moment to herself on her wedding day.

A chance to stop, take a breath and enjoy everything she's worked so hard to plan.

The dress she's dreamed about wearing. The excitement of what's still to come. The feeling of knowing that in a few hours she'll be married to her best friend.

A little spin in the sunshine, a beautiful dress and a memory she'll never forget.

Sometimes it's the simplest moments that mean the most.

There’s always a quiet moment before everything begins.

Walking towards the ceremony… it’s not just about the dress, the flowers or the venue.

It’s the thoughts running through your head.

“Is everyone here?”
“Don’t cry… or maybe it’s okay if I do.”
“This is it.”

A few steps later, everything changes.

And this moment… this walk… becomes one of the most important memories of the whole day.

Hayley & Dayle 🤍

Some wedding photographs aren't about grand gestures or perfectly posed moments.

They're about finding a quiet pause in the middle of a day that seems to move at a hundred miles an hour.

A few years ago, Hayley and Dale stepped away from the celebrations for a few moments on the banks of the River Wear at Webster's Ropery. Surrounded by the colours of autumn, the sound of the water, and Sunderland's industrial heritage standing proudly behind them, they simply took a breath and enjoyed being newly married.

No distractions. No schedules. Just the two of them.

It's often these little moments that couples remember most. Not the rush of the day, but the chance to stop, look at each other, and realise that this is where the next chapter begins.

Looking back through weddings from years gone by always reminds us that great photographs aren't really about the locations or the weather. They're about the people, the connection, and the memories that still feel just as special years later.

There’s only one way to end your Wedding…

& that’s to Dance, Party and celebrate with everyone who made that day special for you 🪩🥂📸

A few weeks ago now I had the honour of photographing the home reception of Alex and Ryan’s wedding celebrations after they tied the knot out in the Norwegian Fjords 🇳🇴

Just wanted to wish you both a lifetime of happiness and amazing memories! Thank you again for having me there 🙌🏻

Still trying to find the words for this one… 💍✨

What started as a trip to Paris turned into one of the biggest moments of my life — she said yes.

08.05.2026 ❤️

As photographers, we spend our lives capturing other people’s memories, emotions and stories… but this time, it was ours.

A moment we’ll never forget, in one of the most beautiful cities in the world. 🇫🇷❤️

Here’s to the next chapter together.

A big thank you to @vioparis for capturing the moment 📸

Most people only see Sedgefield Racecourse on race day…

But behind the scenes, there’s so much more to capture.

From wide-angle lenses showcasing the full scale of the grounds, to drone photography and cinematic video from above — we’ve been documenting every detail of this fantastic venue 🏇

Brilliant to work with such a welcoming team — and we can’t wait for the buzz of the upcoming race days.

Keep an eye out… photos dropping soon 👀
