Libby & Ricky's Wedding Albrighton Hall

And in the middle of my chaos, there was you.
— unknown

After a hectic summer I finally have some down time to reminisce over some of the beautiful wedding's and shoots I was able to be a part of over the past couple of months. This summer has been an exciting one for us, seeing the business launch into its first full wedding season, we have been lucky enough to capture some of the most lovely weddings, allowing us to meet some of the most amazing people along the way. Libby and Ricky's beautiful Shrewsbury wedding at the amazing Albrighton Hall Hotel was no exception. Libby was adorned in a beautiful gown by the incredible Georgina Scott Bridal for their beautiful blush and gold themed day as they wed surrounded by family and friends in the hotel's stunning reception room. I fell completely in love with both the wedding itself and Libby and Ricky, who's love shone through the tears as Libby walked down the isle, and who's strength was made visible as Ricky broke down in his speech about the ways Libby had supported him through hardship. It was, as always, a true honour to be a part of their special day, here are a few of my favourite shots.

Wales Wedding Photographer Olivia & Lewis Pilling

What is done in love, is done well
— Vincent Van Gogh

Olivia and Lewis were married on the 4th of June at the stunning Evriat Hall Hotel in the rolling welsh valleys. When I first met with them for their engagement shoot in August last year, I was struck by how much love this couple had for each other, their support for each other, and the way that kindness seemed to emit from Olivia in a way I hadn't experienced before. Olivia is the kind of girl who giggles when you tell her how beautiful she looks in the sweetest way, and it is so clear in the way that Lewis looks at her that he is completely and utterly besotted. Here are a few of my favourite images from their special day.

Bosworth Hotel Wedding Photographer: Luke and Amber Best

Unless you love someone, nothing else makes any sense.
— E.E Cummings

Shooting friend's weddings can be a complicated science, at times. Being there as guests and working as photographers can be incredibly tiring, but, as this wedding in particular has proven, incredibly rewarding. Luke and Amber got married at the beautiful Bosworth Hotel on the 27th of May, and shooting with them was honestly a complete dream. Luke is Jamie's childhood friend, and somebody who I have grown to love over the years I have known him - I remember one time in particular I was ditched for a weekend because the two of them needed to spend the time making music, and I didn't even mind because there's some friendships you just don't interrupt. And then, just a couple of months before Jamie and I tied the knot, along came amber. All green eyes and beautiful smiles, and the most perfect compliment to Luke I could possibly imagine. We invited her along as Luke's plus one to our wedding without a second thought, because we just knew that this one was forever. And here I am, two years later, blogging the photographs from their beautiful wedding day. 

The wedding itself was a beautiful combination between country luxury and rustic accents, with every detail catered to by Amber and her amazing vision for the day. Amber was an absolute vision in a gorgeous tea-length gown, fresh flowers adorning her Pinterest worthy braid, and a stunning bridal glow to boot, while Luke styled it out in his tweed jacket, waistcoat and mismatched trousers, with stag details on his cufflinks. Here are a few of my favourite shots from the day:
