Thanks for visiting my blog.
Here you will find lots more photographs from recent weddings and family shoots. For me photographs are expressions of love and friendship. They tell stories, are the beginning of a journey and are little pieces of family history.
I hope you enjoy looking at them as much as I love taking them.
Feel free to leave a comment or get in touch if you have any questions or would like to chat about your photography.
Best wishes
Lisa
ps I'm fully booked now for 2010 so we're taking bookings for 2011 and even 2012!
pps (for the photographers out there) The SWPP have invited me back to present another Wedding Photography Masterclass at the January 2011 conference. I'll confirm the date once it's finalised. Also, I'll be training at Annabel Williams (CPT) - the course is "Getting Started with Weddings" on 11th May.
Jody and Esther had a perfect January wedding at Linthwaite House in Cumbria. They had a very intimate ceremony and wedding breakfast with just 12 people. Their evening reception was held at the Castle Green Hotel in Kendal where they were joined by lots more family and friends. Here are a few of my favourite photographs:
- as ever gorgeous pics :) the 'kiss' is fab x
Matt & Justine had a very intimate civil ceremony at the Red Lion in Burnsall. Afterwards we all went over to Matt’s family church in Leeds for a blessing where they were joined by more friends and family. It snowed like crazy whilst we were in church so we all had a very interesting drive back to Burnsall 
Needless to say things were held up a bit but everyone made it and had a wonderful, fun, snowy evening. Justine did warn me that Matt is a bit of a diva – I really had no idea what she meant until the dancing started…
- Beautiful images, love them all but the guys dancing really put a smile on my face!
- Great stuff Lisa, Your amazing personality encourages such natural wedding photography. I love every single photograph, though the chair and the table are my favourite, the lighting is beautiful.
- Gorgeous images Lisa - I love the romantic vintage feel to the portraits of Matt & Justine...
- So atmospheric. Love the outdoor portraits and the detail shots in particular. Fab!
- Fabulous work Lisa. The placing the ring shot is so poignant. I love how you've worked with the lighting during the dancing too. I keep seeing weddings online and wonder where the disco lights are and why people are dancing with the house lights turned up full :~) then realise the disco lights have been blitzed into submission with flash. There's a great sense of being there and part of the party in your images.
Julie and Martin had a snowy, Christmas wedding at Hassop Hall near Bakewell. Hassop is a stunning venue and looked gorgeous in the snow. It seems brides don’t feel the cold – must be wedding adrenalin - so they were more than happy to go outside for a few pictures. Here are a few of my favourites..
Just wanted to say a HUGE thank you to all those lovely photographers who came to my Wedding Photography Masterclass at the SWPP yesterday. It was amazing to see so many of you (and a huge relief ) Thanks so much – I was completely overwhelmed by your response and despite being a bit terrified at the beginning I loved every minute of it. Thanks again – you all made my day.
- Your master class was amazing. Your friend Richard Hallsworth recommended you & i'm so glad I listened to his advice. Your delivery was so genuine & full of passion. I could picture your home with its log burning stove & almost smell the Jo Malone candle. Your photography was so beautiful & natural, capturing the emotion of the day. Well done & I hope to see you back next year. Thank you so much you've really inspired me. Jayne Sacco
- It was brilliant to hear you chat so honestly and heartfelt about what you clearly love doing Lisa! Totally awesome!
- Your work is absolutely beautiful, and it was so refreshing to listen to someone so talented and yet so down to earth, funny and honest. Your passion for your work absolutely shone through and I sat there wishing my husband and I were not yet married, so we could hire you! I think I attended 10 seminars over my 3 days at SWPP and I enjoyed yours the most.
I love snow. It’s very exciting (as long as you are in a position to abandon your plans) We abandoned our day yesterday and went for a long walk. We’re lucky to have all this gorgeousness within walking distance from our house. Here are a few pictures.
- Wow, those are gorgeous Lisa. It looks like something from a fairytale!
Jamie & Gaynor had a wonderful Christmas wedding at Adlington Hall last Sunday. It was a perfect December day – frosty and bright. They gave out baby Christmas trees for their guests to plant instead of wedding favours which I loved
Will filmed the day so if you click the link you can see a short clip. http://www.vimeo.com/8333809
Here are a few of my favourite photographs…
- Just want to say we love, love LOVE the photos and the short film - they both capture the day just as we remembered it! THANK YOU so much!!! We both absolutely loved having you share it all with us and for doing such a great job.
Matt and Jacqui had a fantastic wedding in October. They had a mass at Our Lady of Pity on the Wirral followed by a reception at the magnificent Thornton Manor. This wedding was full to the brim of fun and laughs and we had such a great day with Matt, Jacqui and their gorgeous girls, Imogen and Rachel. Many of my favourite people were involved in this wedding - Daisy Hill Cakes made the wedding cake and Dragonfly Couture Stationery created the stationery and table plan. My lovely husband filmed their day (True Story Wedding Films) so as usual I’ve added a link below to a short clip from the film. And finally here are a few my favourite photographs!
- Gorgeous Lisa, you get a beautiful sense of what the day was like. Love the one of the lil bridesmaid sitting on the step in church.. too cute!
- WOW, WOW, WOW, Just wanted to take this opportunity to say thank you to both Lisa and Will. We honestly couldn't have picked a better photographer and videographer for our wedding. We were really worried about how our photographs would turn out, given neither of us (particularly Matt) take a decent photo. Lisa was an absolute joy to work with and is living proof that you can polish a t*rd (in Matt's case anyways!) - We've recommended Lisa to everyone we know, simply because she takes the photos that you want.
Here are some of my favourites from Chris and Rachel’s fantastic September wedding at Rowton Hall in Chester. Rachel sent me this lovely email on the day they came back from their honeymoon which made my day.
“Well, what can I say? Chris and I arrived home from our glorious honeymoon earlier today; grumpy, irritable and with an inevitable bit of depression after an exhausting 23 hours travelling. However, in the past hour we have been laughing until our sides hurt and getting a bit teary looking through all your fabulous photos. They are outstanding, Lisa. I can’t believe the number of shots you managed to take when we barely noticed you were there. And the talent you have for capturing little ‘moments’ is incredible. I think I want them all although I am limiting Chris to no more than two of his ‘hilarious’ Zoolander poses!”
- I love the way you capture the essence of the whole day. You can really get a feel of the day. All your photographs are wonderful and stunningly beautiful.
Natasha and David had a gorgeous September wedding at St. Michaels Church in Aughton followed by a reception at West Tower. The girls had their make-up done by the lovely Lauren from Cheshire make-up. Here are some of my favourites from the day.
