Over the years I’ve been really fortunate enough to have had many client’s weddings featured in the bridal press. Blogs and magazines are a huge passion of mine as they provide a universal source of limitless inspiration to future bride and grooms as well as wedding industry professionals.
Here’s just a selection of some past features in print and online, I hope they can help you with your wedding ideas.

// E&A AT BEADNELL BAY //

What a joy it was sending time with Amanda & Ed in Beadnell Bay.

It's not often I do shoots outside of Yorkshire now but Northumberland is my second home (we holiday there a lot!). When these guys asked for a shoot on the beach I jumped at the chance!

Hope you like your sneak peeks!

// LET'S TALK PROPS //

Now, this post is for those with super photo anxiety.

Whether it be a wedding day or family shoot, you obviously want the best photos but the thought of posing in front of a camera sends you running for the hills.

Well, you're not alone, it's extremely common & that's why you need an experienced photographer who can put you at ease releasing that inner super model!

Feeling comfortable is key to getting the best photos of yourself & if you are nervous props can help massively. Think hats, flowers, balloons, a pet, signs etc. Whatever you're holding takes the conscious focus off you & onto the prop.

It's just a photo aid, think of it like armbands when you're learning to swim then once you're more comfortable into the shoot you can disregard them.

Hope this helps (of course the best thing is finding a photographer you gel with!)

I'm still taking wedding & family shoot bookings for 2023 so feel free to DM or email me at lissaalexandra@hotmail.co.uk

// LIGHT & LIFE //

Two of my favourite elements of photography.

It always amazes me how different things, places look in different lighting. And often when you can't control the light you have to work to it & find the beauty. It's a constant challenge especially at weddings when things are ever moving, changing quickly, reading the light is key to getting the best photos.

Church windows are an absolute favourite of mine. You can often create these old still life painting style photos with a simple floral arrangement or solitary candle.

When delivering a wedding collection, in amongst all the hundreds of guest/ people photos it's nice to break it up with the occasional still life portrait.

Challenging my inner Dutch master.

// ALBUM DESIGN DAY //

Well, after moaning yesterday we hadn't any snow it's fully arrived now!❄️🌨☃️

So, today I'll get a few snowy shots this morning to take in some fresh air. Then I'll be back in my cosy office, with a @bettys hot chocolate (the best I've ever had!!!)

There's a queue of wedding albums to design & send to @simimaging but this lovely lady's has already been done & is awaiting approval.

Happy snow day!!!x

// I'LL GIVE YOU A RING //

Happy Sunday!!! What have you got planned?

We've got party gate central again. One toddler one this morning then a family one this afternoon.

I can barely move this morning, got over zealous in the garden yesterday with my mulching & my hamstrings are screaming at me 😱 😢🥺.

Making the most of these slower paced weekends before the wedding season gets in full swing.

Need to catch up with some phone calls & messages too, so maybe chat later.

Have a good one!x

// HAPPY TEARS //

I haven't posted for a few days now. Been moonlighting on my other job as a location scout for an exciting new Channel 4 show.

But it's a photo day today. Got some wedding albums to design, wedding & birthday party to edit. Full on screen day supported by copious amounts of @yorkshiretea catching up with @__thearchersofficial__

Hopefully going to try & edit some photos from a landscape course I did in Whitby last week, but see how it goes.

See you on the other side! Have a great Wednesday all!xx

// IT'S THE WEEKEND //

Ok, hands up🙋‍♀️🤷‍♀️🤚 this post has nothing to do with this photo. Just sharing as it's still one of my favourite bridal hair & makeup looks after all these years.

So...what y'all doing with yourselves?

Today I've got a client meeting, spot of editing, the usual dance & swimming class runs & I fancy cooking up something adventurous for tea.

Can't wait share some sneak peeks from yesterday's corporate shoot.

I met the loveliest group of ladies working on a farm, in a converted pig shed for a marketing agency. The weather was pants so the scenery photos don't do it justice, but WOW what a setting where they are. 360 stunning views of the North Yorkshire moors.

How ever you spend your weekend, have a fab one.

// SNUGGLES //

Is it just me or is anyone else suffering from their winter snuffles🤧 Lots of snuggles & lemsip required.

On a more exciting note, I've got a cool corporate shoot tomorrow & I can't wait! It's a new marketing firm based on a farm in the moors. If that doesn't blow away my cold I don't know what will!

// LAVENDER HAZE //

My little nod to queen Taylor Swift 💜 (her latest single)

But it got me thinking, apparently the phrase means being so deeply in love or in the first throngs of passion.

I quite like this idea as the theme for a bridal shoot. Cue mood board & head scratching as to when I might actually fit a photo shoot in🤔🤷‍♀️.

Still it's been too long since my last one & I want to springboard some creative ideas before the season kicks off.

Watch this purple space.....

// GLOW UP ✨️ //

Anyone else feel the need to glow up?

These dreary winter days are longgggg! Even my skin & hair feels dull. Been reading about taking collagen tablets recently & I definitely need to drink more water. But that's enough of my over sharing🙈.

I can't wait to feel the tingle on my face from warm rays. A little sun kissed colour in my cheeks, nature's glow up!

Hope you all have a fab weekend. I've got a big surprise family celebration tomorrow (it's cool, they're not on insta!) & more kids parties today🤦‍♀️🤯😉 #sendvodka

// THAT MOMENT, WILL YOU BE PRACTICING IT? //

Place the ring on the fourth finger on the left hand, you'd be amazing how many people pick the wrong hand in the moment.

It's super cute though, everyone's watching, it's a pinnacle moment & then it won't go on (cue sweaty, swollen hands)🤦‍♀️

Whatever happens at this moment, it doesn't have to be perfect like in the films, in fact it's often better if it's not. Style it out, let the congregation react & it makes for fabulous photo opportunities.

Just whatever you do, don't drop it in a church for it to fall down the grate in the aisle. Yes, I have seen this done!!!!!

// IS IT JUST ME? //

Or is any other wedding photographer slightly obsessed with food photography too!?!

Now, I know a photo of someone chowing down on their dinner isn't the prettiest look but I defo make sure I get foodie photos for you.

It's all part of the wedding day details & as most couples take a lot of time planning their wedding breakfast I figure they'd maybe like a photo reference of it too!

// WEEKEND FEELS //

What's everyone up to this weekend? Bit of retail shopping, experimenting in the kitchen, fun with family or dare I say it.....

PICKING YOUR WEDDING ALBUM PHOTOS 😉🤣🤦‍♀️

This is my not so subliminal message to my wonderful clients who've ordered wedding albums. I know it's one if those jobs that keep getting put off & there's always so many more important things to do.

But please, if you get chance it'd be fab to get started on them. They can be turned around super quick this time of year. Once spring hits I'll be busy shooting again.

Alternatively, if you just can't decide, let me pick & design. You've always got the chance to change it, so WIN WINN.

Anyway, have a good one folks, I'm off for a day of kid's birthday parties🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️ hurry up wedding season😉.

// AWAITING SUMMER //

It's that time of winter when it's all a bit blahhhh!!

Weddings are quite, it's not the best weather for outdoor shots & I find myself feeling a bit lost.

To overcome this I've been delving into weddings gone by & came across this beauty ☝️.

Atm Lindsey & Dave are choosing their favourite wedding pics for the album design. I'll definitely be sharing when it's complete.

On another note I think these two could do a master class on hugs🥰🥰🥰 so much love.
