Rutland Wedding & family Photographer
🏅🏆TWIA Regional finalist 2023 & 2026

Welcome, shall we start 2026 with an introduction? Welcome, shall we start 2026 with an introduction?!
My name is Amanda and I’m so pleased you are here. 

* I live in Rutland with my husband, our daughter and our two miniature schnauzers Hercules and Perseus (yes they are the best names)

* I am one of 8 Children - my mum really liked babies so she kept having them and here we are. Luckily we all get along and I wouldn’t swap any of them out just yet!

* I am a qualified fitness instructor and used to teach Insanity Fitness classes - anyone remember those from @beachbody 

* I met my husband during an ultra marathon in the white desert in Egypt, he maintains I was dehydrated and that was the only reason he won me over ;)

* I love coffee so much, all of my wedding collections are named after coffee and I have a coffee machine on my bedside table amen to @nespresso.uk and @twochimpscoffee for keeping me fuelled 

*Growing up I wanted to be a member of cabin crew for @virginatlantic but then I watched final destination where the plane blows up on takeoff and I haven’t felt happy at take off ever since then! 

* My favourite film is dirty dancing. Yes there are other greats but this one will always remain a firm favourite, I had a couple once who did THE lift on the dancefloor it was incredible

* The book I have read over and over is one called ‘a little princess’ I love it and can’t wait until Mya is old enough for me to read it to her

* I am a self confessed stationery lover. A new notebook is the way to my heart but it has to be spiral bound and preferably with a matching pen 😂

So that’s me, I am trying to be more present on stories this year so please come along and say hello and give me a wave 👋

If you got engaged over Christmas then CONGRATULAT If you got engaged over Christmas then CONGRATULATIONS !!!!

And welcome to the crazy world that is wedding planning!!

But where do you start? There are so many things to consider when planning your wedding that it can become a bit overwhelming.

1. The first thing you need to consider is if you want a big wedding or a smaller and more intimate wedding, there are pros and cons to both and this will be so dependant on who you are as people. Take time to think this one through and try not to let outside opinions push you in to something you don’t want. 

2. Once you have that decided your next stop will be choosing your venue and setting your date. 

Are you after a barn wedding, a country house, or would you prefer something smaller like Chelsea Town Hall, still with the wow factor but a cheeky walk to the pub for your wedding breakfast after with all of your closest family and friends. 

There are so many different options out there and now is the best time to start looking because many will be hosting open days and evenings over the next few months. 

3. Ok, time for real talk, you’re going to have to at least pretend to make a budget! If you’re anything like me, your going to make it, panic, close it and just live by the motto that you will make it work 😂 but seriously maybe at least chat together about what things on your list are the most important so you can drive more of your budget to those areas.

4. Now you have your date and venue it is time to start sourcing suppliers, many venues will have a list of preferred suppliers which is a great place to start but don’t feel like you have to stop there. You may meet others that you gel with more or whole style is more suited to you. 

5. Take 5 minutes to chill out! just enjoy the fact you’re engaged, your wedding is booked and your main suppliers are sorted and go out on a date night to talk about how truly brilliant you are and how really you should make a career out of wedding planning because you are clearly superstars 😂👋

WELCOME TO 2026 đŸ„‚ To all of those couples looking WELCOME TO 2026 đŸ„‚

To all of those couples looking for a photographer who captures all of the important moments but doesn’t forget all of the little ones in between
.. 

You’re in the right place

Honestly sometimes I think that the in between moments matter even more than the big ones. 

Those are the ones you won’t remember until you see the images and your day is brought back to life. 

So if this is you and you want someone who will be with you every step of the way, you want your images to feel like you stepped off the cover of vogue but you want to feel natural doing it then hit the contact button and slide on in to my DM,s 

I can’t wait to meet you
