Wedding Photography
Planning your wedding is one of the most exciting chapters of your life, but it can also feel a little overwhelming when you are trying to choose the right people to bring your vision to life.
Over the years I have had the joy of working alongside many talented suppliers, and I know just how much of a difference it makes when you have a team you can trust. A great supplier brings more than skill, they bring calm, confidence, and a friendly presence that helps your day flow beautifully from start to finish.
This page is designed to make your planning that bit easier. Every supplier featured here is someone I have worked with personally and would happily recommend again in a heartbeat. They are professional, reliable, and genuinely brilliant at what they do. Most importantly, they care about giving you an incredible experience, just as much as I do. Whether you are looking for flowers, music, styling, cakes, or something a little different, I hope you find this guide helpful as you build your perfect wedding day team. If you ever need any extra advice or want to chat through ideas, I am always here to help.

Content Creators
Wedding content creators have become an increasingly popular addition to modern weddings, offering couples a fun and relaxed way to relive the atmosphere of their day through behind the scenes video clips, candid moments and social ready content captured as everything unfolds.
While they are not a replacement for a professional wedding videographer, they provide a brilliant alternative for couples who want quick, informal memories delivered within hours of the celebration.
What I love about great content creators is their ability to capture the little in between moments, the laughter during bridal prep, reactions from guests, fun clips from the dance floor and all the details that help tell the story of the day from a fresh and modern perspective. They add an extra layer of excitement to the wedding experience and allow couples to enjoy sharing highlights almost instantly while still being fully present in the moment.
MyWeddingContent.co
MyWeddingContent.co is run by Lilia, who offers modern wedding content creation for couples wanting to relive the atmosphere, emotion and excitement of their wedding day almost instantly. Capturing all the fun behind the scenes moments throughout the celebration, Lilia creates natural, social ready content that allows couples to look back on their day from a fresh, relaxed and authentic perspective within hours of saying “I do”.
What I love about Lilia’s approach is that she understands wedding content creation is there to complement the day, not replace traditional photography or videography. She captures all those little in between moments, reactions, laughter and memories that help tell the full story of the celebration in a fun and modern way, while working professionally and respectfully alongside the rest of the wedding team.
If you are looking for a relaxed and exciting addition to your wedding day that allows you to instantly relive the atmosphere through beautifully captured phone content, MyWeddingContent.co is a fantastic choice and someone I would happily recommend.

Their daytime setup option is brilliant too, allowing soft background music during the wedding breakfast and providing a professional wireless microphone for speeches.
By the time the evening party begins, everything is already in place and ready to go, creating a seamless transition into a lively, feel good reception led by their talented DJs.

Gabby Caswell is a fantastic bridal hair and makeup artist who I am always very happy to recommend. Based in Northamptonshire, Gabby specialises in creating beautiful wedding looks that enhance your natural features while still making you feel completely like yourself.
One of the things I particularly like about Gabby’s approach is the importance she places on getting to know exactly what each bride wants. Bridal trials are an important part of her process, giving you the opportunity to explore your ideas, discuss your personal style and make sure everything is exactly how you want it before the wedding morning arrives.
Gabby offers both bridal makeup and hairstyling, which is a great option if you would prefer to have the same person looking after your complete wedding-day look. She can also provide hair and makeup for bridesmaids, mums and other members of the wedding party.
Having previously worked as a wedding coordinator, Gabby also understands weddings from far more than just a hair and makeup perspective. She knows how important timings are on a wedding morning and brings the friendly, organised and reassuring presence you want around you while everyone is getting ready.

Hannah Rafferty Makeup
Hannah has an incredible gift for helping brides feel like the very best version of themselves. Her approach is never about masking or changing, it is about enhancing what makes you naturally beautiful so you feel confident, radiant and completely yourself on your wedding day. The results are soft, timeless and elegant, which means your makeup will look just as stunning in your photographs years from now as it does the moment you walk down the aisle.
What I admire most about Hannah is the way she truly listens. She takes the time to understand the look you want, whether it is glowing and effortless or something with a bit more drama. Every bride she works with receives a look that feels personal and authentic, never a one size fits all style.
Wedding mornings with Hannah are a joy. She brings such a calm, positive energy that instantly puts everyone at ease. Between the excitement, the nerves, the laughter and the bubbles, she helps create an atmosphere that feels relaxed and enjoyable from the very first brush stroke.

That moment when you see the finished look and your confidence lifts is exactly why I love recommending her.

Morna is not only obsessed with hair, she is genuinely passionate about weddings and pours that enthusiasm into every single look she creates. One of the things I admire most about her is that she never produces the same bridal hairstyle twice.

Videographers
Your wedding photographs capture individual moments, but a wedding film brings something completely different to the story of your day. Hearing the voices, speeches, music and reactions again can transport you straight back in a way that photographs alone simply cannot.
Choosing the right videographer is particularly important because they will be working closely alongside your photographer throughout the day. The videographers I recommend are people I know I can work brilliantly alongside, with photography and film complementing each other rather than competing for the same moments.They understand how to capture everything naturally without turning your wedding into a film production. If you are considering wedding videography, these are talented professionals I am genuinely happy to recommend.
Toby White Film | Wedding Videographer
Toby White Film is a wedding videographer I am very happy to recommend to couples looking for a natural and authentic way to capture their wedding day on film.
Toby’s approach works particularly well alongside the way I photograph weddings. His films are cinematic without feeling overly produced or staged, concentrating on the atmosphere, emotion and all those little moments happening throughout the day. He works quietly and naturally, allowing everything to unfold without making you feel as though your wedding has suddenly become a film set.
One of the most important things for me when recommending a videographer is how well we can work together. Photography and videography need to complement each other rather than compete for the same moments, and Toby understands that completely. He is professional, easy to work alongside and knows when to step forward to capture something important and when to give you space to simply enjoy your wedding.
If you love the idea of having your wedding filmed but do not want to spend the day constantly being directed or worrying about the cameras, Toby is definitely worth speaking to. You will have a beautifully produced film that captures not just what your wedding looked like, but how it actually felt.

She is also incredibly professional and easy to work with, which is something I value highly when recommending suppliers. If you are looking for a singer who brings confidence, emotion, and a polished performance to your wedding, Kelly is an excellent choice.
