Your wedding doesn't have to be big. Some of the l Your wedding doesn't have to be big. Some of the loveliest weddings that I've had the pleasure of capturing have been with less than 10 guests. So don't feel the pressure of going with the 'norm' on your wedding day if it doesn't feel very you. I am more than happy to plan your day, no matter how many guests you have. Please get in touch if you have any questions.

It’s my birthday today. I could do a profound post It’s my birthday today. I could do a profound post about how amazing my last year has been and my hopes and dreams for the next. But today has been full of the simplest of joys, so I thought I’d do a bit of a different post for me and share them with you completely unedited: 

1. Looking back at my 40th year and realizing just how much we as a family have achieved. Ok this photo is edited. 
2. Waking up to the sound of my boys singing happy birthday to me, I didn’t even care that it was pre 6am because they were so excited. 
3. Meeting my gorgeous Mum and Dad for coffee and sitting for hours just chatting.
4. Driving to meet my husband after he finished work for a lovely long lunch together at @theorangetreepics which was banging. I will absolutely be going back! 
5. Being surprised with a candle in my STP. So simple and I loved it. 
6. Receiving beautiful flowers from my boys and my bestie. My house now smells incredible. 
7. Heading off to the school Halloween disco. Some people’s idea of hell but seeing the joy on my boys faces was everything!
8. My eldest even saved a birthday dance for me ❤️ in-front of all of his friends! 
9. My team. Gah I love them. 
10. My main squeeze. Words will never do justice for how much I love this man! 

So there we have it. The first day of 41. Full of simple joys, for which I am eternally grateful.

Abroad weddings can seem to have all of the glamou Abroad weddings can seem to have all of the glamour, but when the sunshine comes out in the UK (…when!) I wouldn't want to be anywhere else. There's just nothing like it for me. 

S and A's day was absolutely flawless with so many incredible details and talents from suppliers. The weather was the cherry on top. 

Would you love your day to be abroad or is the UK the place for you?
