Taking to the epic Yorkshire landscape for some elopement love. Consider an elopement guys…

A snowy mountain-top elopement, above Courchevel, France, will have you wanting to run away in a sequin dress with a bottle of champagne to get hitched! Happy Christmas guys!

A stunning Lake Annecy Elopement, with some chit-chat about that magical sparkly thing we call chemistry.

YOU KNOW WHAT? LET’S HAVE ANOTHER NON-WEDDING POST, BECAUSE WHY NOT?! AND WHEN IT’S SOMETHING AS STUNNING AS THESE TWO ABSOLUTE DIAMONDS, IN THE MOUNTAINS, CAN YOU BLAME ME?

I DON’T REALLY KNOW WHERE TO START THIS WEEK. NOT ONLY IS THIS WEDDING AN ABSOLUTE CORKER TO LOOK AT (YOU’RE WELCOME), BUT THIS PLACE AND THESE PEOPLE ARE ALL SUPER SPECIAL TO ME. I WAS BLOWN AWAY WHEN THESE GUYS ASKED ME TO SHOOT THEIR WEDDING, BUT I DIDN’T REALISE HOW EMOTIONAL IT WOULD BE…

WITH ALL THE SNOW HITTING THE UK RECENTLY, I THOUGHT I’D SHARE SOME WINTRY WEDDING INSPIRATION ALL THE WAY FROM THE FRENCH ALPS. THIS IS A STYLED SHOOT, SHOT WITH A REAL COUPLE, IN A HIDDEN BREAK IN THE TREES OFF MY FAVOURITE SLOPE. IT’S LOW-FI, WITH NO SUPPLIERS, AND EVERYTHING IS COLLECTED AND PUT TOGETHER BY MYSELF AND THIS SESSION’S BRIDE.

I’M NO GOOD AT NEW YEARS RESOLUTIONS. (QUITE THE OPENER, HUH?!) BUT THE ONE THING I ALWAYS RESOLVE TO DO, EVERY YEAR NOW WITHOUT FAIL, IS THIS POST; THE BLOG POST WHERE I FORCE MYSELF TO SIT DOWN WITH MY WORK OF THE PAST YEAR, AND DIGEST IT. IF YOU FANCY SITTING WITH ME, GRAB A CUPPA (OR A SOMETHING A BIT STRONGER, MINE’S A WHISKEY) AND JOIN ME. I COULD DO WITH THE COMPANY. I’M NOT VERY GOOD AT THIS…

I SEE SO MANY EPIC AMERICAN LANDSCAPES IN WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHY AT THE MOMENT, I THOUGHT IT HIGH TIME WE CELEBRATE SOME OUR OWN ENGLISH WONDERS. THE YORKSHIRE DALES ARE JAM PACKED WITH STUNNING SETTINGS, AND THIS ONE IS NO EXCEPTION. RICH & SARAH CAME ADVENTURING WITH ME, ACROSS THE TOP HILLS OF MALHAM, TO STYLE A SHOOT AND SHARE A GENUINE AND SPECIAL MOMENT. ON SHOOT, THEY WROTE AND EXCHANGED SOME VOWS, OVER 3 YEARS AFTER THEIR MARRIAGE. AND LOOK AT THAT VIEW...

IT'S STYLED SHOOT TIME.. A CHANCE FOR ME TO FULLY ART DIRECT A SHOOT, WITH MY OWN VISION AND DESIGN. I SPENT WEEKS COLLECTING PROPS IN VINTAGE AND SECOND HAND STORES, ORDERING AND STITCHING LEATHER, LOCATION SCOUTING ACROSS THE 3 VALLEYS, HAND PAINTING A LEATHER JACKET, AND TYPING AWAY ON AN ANTIQUE TYPE WRITER. ALL OF THIS TO DESIGN THE PERFECT ALPINE ELOPEMENT AT SUNSET.. I'D CHOOSE A DAY LIKE THIS OVER A BIG TRAD WEDDING, EVERY TIME! MAKE SURE TO FLICK THROUGH TO THE END FOR THE BTS VIDEO BY DELICATE MOTION...

SO HERE IS THE OBLIGATORY "BEST OF THE YEAR" POST, WHICH I APPROACH WITH BOTH DREAD AND EXCITEMENT IN EQUAL MEASURE. WHY?! BECAUSE I AM THE ABSOLUTE WORST AT RECOGNISING MY OWN ACHIEVEMENTS, AND ALSO PRETTY DIRE AT PICKING MY FAVOURITE OF ANYTHING. CALL ME INDECISIVE! BUT HERE WE ARE, AND SINCE THIS WAS MY BIGGEST EVER YEAR, IT'S ONLY RIGHT THAT I GIVE IT A GO.
