not just a photographer
Mary Poppins with a Camera is a name I have been particular proud of over the years. After almost 500 weddings you get to know what is useful to have with you i.e. a crochet hook for the dress, blister pads, spare cufflinks etc. It also teaches you things like how to tie a good full Windsor knot or how to lace a corset backed dress!

Why Should We Book You as our Rutland Wedding Photographer?
Why Choose a local (ish) Rutland Wedding Photographer?
My approach goes beyond just capturing snapshots. I strive to document the heart and soul of your wedding, telling your unique story through images that evoke emotions and memories. This means immersing myself in your celebration, getting to know you as a couple, and anticipating those candid moments that truly reflect your personalities. From the joyful tears during your vows to the laughter shared with loved ones on the dance floor, I'll be there to discreetly capture the essence of your Rutland wedding day. I also step out of the traditional role of a photographer and work closely with any management/planning staff to ensure your day works as smoothly as possible, removing as much stress and unnecessary faff. This allows you to relaxed and enjoy your wedding day to the max, which will be captured in my photographs.
Choosing a local (ish) photographer like myself brings distinct advantages. I possess an extensive understanding of Rutland's beauty and charm, from historical landmarks to hidden gems, allowing me to utilise the county's unique charm as a backdrop for your wedding story. Whether you seek the elegance of Exton Hall or the beauty surroundings of Normanton Church, I'll guide you to stunning settings that enhance your wedding aesthetic and tell your love story visually. Additionally, having local connections enables me to navigate unforeseen situations smoothly, ensuring your peace of mind on your special day.
This is the venue everyone thinks of when they think of Rutland. Situated sticking out into Rutland Water, Normanton Church is beautiful chapel, looked after perfectly by Anglia Water. A lot of people get married here and there is a reason, the venue is a great backdrop in itself but the surroundings are absolutely stunning on a beautiful day! It's a little bit bracing on a windy day though!
Sat towards the end of the Hambleton Peninsula, Hambleton Hall is a little oasis, surrounded by water, trees and green. It is so quiet and peaceful. With Michelin starred food and service to match, it is a fantastic place for small and medium weddings. The grounds are beautiful with a great vista over Rutland Water.
Not just one venue but an estate, there are different parts to suit everyone. Fort Henry, a magical Gothic folly, is situated down by a beautiful lake with very little around, perfect for an intimate ceremony before heading back over to the main hall for your reception! Absolutely no chance of running out of photo ideas at this venue! A fantastic place for a wedding.
