There’s something magical about saying “I do” under twinkling lights in your own backyard. A backyard wedding can feel warm, personal, and unforgettable, but only if it’s done the right way. Too often, couples begin planning with a set of assumptions that sound convenient but don’t hold up in reality. As a wedding planner who has designed backyard celebrations for high-end clients, I want to set the record straight.Read more...

Men’s jewellery has always been around, but right now it’s having a moment. Grooms, groomsmen, and guests are reclaiming men’s necklaces as a way to bring personality into their outfits. And unlike a hired suit, the right necklace stays with you long after the wedding’s over. Whether you’re standing at the altar, smashing it at work, or heading to a gig on Saturday night, a chain or pendant can a real signature piece.Read more...

Rings are one of the few traditions most couples still hold onto, even when they’re ripping up the rest of the rulebook. Engagement rings and wedding rings have history, symbolism, and a whole lot of cultural baggage. But do you actually need both? And what’s the real difference anyway?Read more...

For every wedding tradition, there’s a weird social expectation attached to it. Some of them are relatively harmless. Some are loaded with pressure, gender roles, family politics or just straight-up capitalism. And yet couples are still made to feel like they have to do it all, whether it makes sense for them or not.Read more...

If you've been reading my blog (or following me on Instagram!) for a while you'll probably have already heard of Gala Darling. Not only is she one of my best friends, but I've been raving about her, and her message of Radical Self Love, for quite some time! I first discovered her blog in early 2009 (check out my adorable fangirling) but it wasn't until happenstance enabled us to meet IRL a few years later that I knew we were kindred spirits. There are just some people you meet who instantly light up your life and make the world seem like a more positive, happier place. Gala does this for me every single day and I'm so honoured to call her my friend.Read more...

These days it seems that branding is the hot topic within the wedding industry, especially for photographers. We certainly discuss it quite a lot at Photography Farm and we are very lucky to have photographer's brand expert Melissa Love join us to share her expertise. When I first started shooting weddings, brand simply wasn't an issue. It was enough to take good photographs and make sure that you were found in the right places. However there has never been more wedding photographers competing against each other for potential business, so of course branding can be one of the elements that can help us to stand out.Read more...

Almost every photographer I know hates writing their About Me page. I confess, I used to be the same. I can merrily write about anything else but writing directly about myself makes me C R I N G E. I’m putting a cushion over my head now just thinking about it. If you feel the same then think about it this way… your About Me is just like an online dating profile. You're trying to attract potential clients - but more than that, the ideal match of client for you.Read more...

Sheesh, I have recently seen sooooo many rants on the internet from photographers giving up because they find it too tough to cut it as a wedding photographer or they are sick of competing with the newbies who "under cut their prices/ don't know what they're doing/ use vintage processing/ are ruining the industry". So here is my two pennies worth... first up a little history, I started working as a photographer in the early 1990s first in music and then from 2000, the majority of my work has been in weddings. I am still as thrilled to earn my living in this way as I ever was, still as excited about each and every job, from the simple engagement shoot I did in the sunshine on Brighton Beach last night, to the recipe book I shot with an acclaimed chef that is due for release soon. I will NEVER tire of taking photographs or being in such a privileged position that people trust me to record their memories on one of the most important days of their lives. I will always be on a quest to take THE perfect photograph that sums up a wedding day.Read more...
