A little bit about me

Hello, I’m Olivia [She/her] that's me and my husband above having the time of our lives running through the Scottish highlands in the middle of a thunderstorm on our elopement day. I'm sure you've guessed by now I am a wedding and elopement photographer based in lovely Lancashire covering weddings all across the North west, UK and abroad.

When I’m not photographing weddings or tucked away editing you’ll find me renovating my home, out exploring with my husband Ryan, going to gigs (I LOVE pop punk & indie) or following our cats Dallas and Rudi round the house forcing them to cuddle me.

I'm a soppy romantic and love hearing tales of how lovers met (both funny and soppy) and especially love all the mushy films and books that cater to that (I’ll hold my hands up that I am a huge fan of the Notebook, also those trashy teen films on Netflix are my guilty pleasure). My hair colour changes very regularly and I can no longer count how many times it has flipped between pink, orange, blonde and blue.

Things I love (besides weddings and photography)

Dallas, our rescue cat that is currently on a mission to loose 1kg by order of the vet.

Rudi, the newest member of the family who is definitely the naughty chaos causing cat of the house.

Ryan (he’s the ying to my yang, calms me down when I'm getting over excited/ a little crazy and begrudgingly models for my test shots from time to time)

My family- I'm the youngest of 3 and proud auntie to 3 nephews and a niece who I adore.

Pudding - I have the worlds biggest sweet tooth!

Candles- actual unhealthy obsession level, one must be burning at all times in my house!

Travelling- I love nothing more than to visit new places and explore; I will never not have time to discuss travel plans or swap tips!

Dr Martens- I own a ridiculous amount I even had 2 different pairs for my own wedding because I’m not a heels person

I’m not so keen on….

Slugs

Liquorice

Hot drinks (Unapologetically not a fan of tea or coffee)

Where it all began

Many many boxes of old photographs experimenting at home and on holiday as a child quickly progressed into a passion. Fast forward 10 years and I moved to Newport to study Documentary Photography at university. After university I travelled to beautiful India to teach photography with charity Basti Ram; one of the most amazing experiences in my life and I am very grateful to have been given this opportunity. Staying true to my degree, I love to shoot weddings in a documentary style capturing all the little details that make your day unique and candid moments that create the smiles, tears and laughter as the day unfolds. I like to keep things nice and relaxed without the hours stood smiling awkwardly posing for pictures; with a few fun formal pictures in between filled with lots of laughter.

Now you know a little bit more about me I'd love to hear about you and your plans, drop me a message to say hello!

My wedding loves

Days planned around couples loves and interests rather than traditions you don’t love

Anything outdoors no matter the weather- I will always bring weather sleeves for my cameras and a waterproof coat along

LOTS of dancing

Untraditional plans/ venues/ outfits I believe weddings should be as unique as you are!

Dirty trains on dresses, the dirtier the dress/ skirt/ cape the more fun you’ve had (who wants to spend the day carrying their dress worrying when you can be having fun)

Intimate weddings/ elopements
