As a busy mum, wife, and director of two businesse

As a busy mum, wife, and director of two businesses, I’m also passionate about mental health.

Not only about listening and being conscious of my own mental well-being, but also doing everything I can to help others do the same.

More than ever, we need to listen to ourselves.

And to each other.

We need to help each other. Support each other.
Be there for each other.

For many, coming out of lockdown is as scary as it was going into lockdown.

We have all experienced this past year in very different ways.

Some have thrived.
Some have had their lives turned upside down.
With everything in between.

We have all had very different storms to navigate through.

No two people have the same story to tell.

And so, today’s post is simply about being kind and about listening.

To ourselves.

And to each other.

Pippa

The most touching and intimate moment between @nat

The most touching and intimate moment between @natashacousins and her mother on the morning of her wedding.

Connection is everything in life.

Connections that we have between each other.

And the connections that one can have looking at a photograph.

The impact one image can have on us.

Nataliya and James’s wedding took place last October between lockdown 1 & 2.

Almost a month later, my own mum passed away.

This image brings back so many special memories of my day with Nataliya, James and their close family and friends. It was an immensely intimate and wonderful celebration.

It also evokes emotions and memories of me with my own mother. Similar and incredibly special moments I remember having with her on my wedding day.

Happy happy memories.

It’s almost coming up for five years since we photographed @hellohamish & @rosieinlondon wedding @hedsor.

Time is funny isn’t it. So much has happened since then. Globally and also personally for each and everyone of us.

Yet in a funny way, Hamish and Rosie’s wedding feels like only yesterday.

I remember the trail of beautiful pink rose petals scattered all the way down the pathway from the house down to St Nicholas’ church. I remember Hamish arriving on his moped through the Hedsor estate. The church packed to the seams with their family and friends. The laughter. The joy. The love. The insanely mad dancing. The biggest glittery disco ball I’ve ever seen….

Every wedding story is different and unique. Yes, there is the ceremony and then the reception. But how you choose to do it, and who you have with you, is what makes every story so unbelievably special to document.

Happy 5th wedding anniversary Rosie & Hamish!

Last week I went on an adventure. I travelled up to North Yorkshire for an engagement shoot with one of our gorgeous couples who like many, have had to postpone their wedding until next year.

Peter’s parent’s live up there, and it felt like the perfect place to have their shoot.

I have always adored travelling. I have constant wanderlust, and although many of our assignments take us to all corners of the world, it felt so amazing to be travelling any distance at all after this past year.

And when words like these arrive into my inbox, it makes me more excited than ever for all the weddings we have coming up. For us, our weddings begin in June, and it can’t come around fast enough.

“They are extraordinary!
I have no words!
Thank you so much. We absolutely love them!”
Marion & Peter

@marioncroci and @peterrowley thank you for having me join you last week to create such special memories for you both.

Thank you for your wonderful hospitality, the joy and the laughter. It was such a special couple of days with you both.

We cannot wait for May 2022 @clivedenhouse 💕

Sophie & Lyndon had one of the most romantic weddi

Sophie & Lyndon had one of the most romantic wedding stories I’ve ever had the joy to photograph.

Picture the setting.

An outdoor ceremony overlooking the Serengeti Plains.

A herd of elephants quietly drinking from a nearby watering hole.

Quite possibly one of the most peaceful and beautiful settings on earth.

So what if I told you that completely out of season, heavy rainstorms hit?

On arrival, everyone had to run for cover.

Last minute, the ceremony had to be brought forward an hour to avoid another sharp and unexpected rain storm.

Even then, the rain arrived just seconds after the final blessing was given to the couple.

Again, everyone ran for cover.

But it was still totally beautiful.
And exhilarating.
And fun.
It was a big adventure.
And everyone loved it!

So why am I telling you this?

Because this post is for all the brides and grooms who are worrying about rain on their wedding day. I want you to know that if it rains, it really doesn’t matter!

Yes, have a contingency plan.
Yes, have umbrellas on hand.
Yes, have a great team around you who work together to make that contingency plan flow smoothy.

But at the end of the day, the weather is out of your control.

And believe me, your guests won’t enjoy your wedding day any the less if it rains.

And do you know what too? Rain on your wedding day is good luck! It symbolises fertility and cleansing.

And if you’re wanting even more good reasons to have rain on your wedding day, just think…

-The rain clouds make for super dramatic photos.
-Allergies and pollen are reduced.
-Rain can create a lovely cosy romantic atmosphere
-Wedding flowers are less likely to wilt
-Rainbows are possible

And It makes for a great story!

I have just one photo of myself pregnant with Popp

I have just one photo of myself pregnant with Poppy.

It was taken on New Years Eve, five days before she was born.

Ian and I hiked up a hill in Petworth Park hoping that the exercise would encourage her out!

The day after, I went into hospital to have her.

It wasn’t intentional not to have more photos being pregnant. It just happened that way. Life got in the way – you know how it does!

I also didn’t really think at the time that it was particularly important – that it was more about photographing her once she was in the world.

But I look back now, 8 years on, and wish I had more photos of me with a big bump. It’s not that I felt amazing - I certainly wasn’t one of those lucky few who “bloomed” her way through pregnancy. I felt pretty nauseous most of the time…and very big!

It’s more that I wish I had photos celebrating that chapter in our lives.

We’d waited seven years for Poppy. We lost four babies on the journey.

And I look back now at that one photo to remind me of how magical Mother Nature is.

That miracles can and do happen.

That every single chapter of our lives are so incredibly precious and should be celebrated and remembered.

If you’re pregnant and wondering whether to have a photo-shoot, I’d love to chat with you. 🤗💕
