Cards on the table: I’m a huge countryside lover. Fresh air, birds singing and tranquil waterside walks (avec deux King Charles Cavaliers mignons) … dreamy!

What could be better than being immersed in the great outdoors?

Photographing a wedding surrounded by all that natural beauty! #doubleblessing

So I feel most lucky to be a wedding photographer based near Rutland - which means lots of stunning venues nestled amongst nature are just a short drive away.

Whilst Rutland may be England’s smallest county

...it’s big on incredible history, pretty villages and natural settings. So it’s little surprise that Rutland weddings tend to be the most relaxed weddings I have the pleasure of capturing.

The serene surroundings make for a carefree atmosphere and that leads to wonderfully relaxed wedding photos where everyone looks like they’re having a great time.

From photos of your drinks reception with pretty rolling hills in the background, to knock-out pictures of the two of you on the shores of Rutland Water, and the setting sun drenching your guests in gold as they giggle into the evening....

Come and explore what your Rutland wedding photography could look like.

LET’S GO!

Is your venue not listed here? No sweat!

If your wedding venue isn’t here, send me an email with the name of your venue and I’ll send you some similar weddings to have a look at.

I’ve been a wedding photographer for 12 years but still work at new ones regularly. I’m quite used to getting to know new places and quickly working out how to make them shine in photos. It gives me new ideas and helps keep my photography unique for each couple.
