Sometimes it’s just meant to be, a chance, a moment, kismet a meet cute or fate. For Sam & Christina this is so true, they really did just bump into each other. A bit of cheeky banter and a date was arranged…. they’ve never looked back since.
These two are so connected, they wear their love for each other on their sleeves it’s so plain to see the ‘LOVE’. With so much love and support from all their family and friends this day was going to be magical.
I started at Christina’s parents where all the girls had just returned from the hairdressers looking beautiful, there was champagne and surprises, chatter and laughter fill the room.

A special thanks to Sam and Christina for asking Ray and I to document your wonderful day. It was extra special for me as Sam and I went to college together to study photography. Sam is a talented wedding photographer too Sam Sanders Photography check his Facebook page for recent work

A couple of weeks ago I photographed Sam and Christina’s pre-wedding – with Sam being a Pro photographer himself they decided to do something a little different…. Throw chalk at each other! Time was spent prior to try and find some urban space in Preston but not too public as things were going to get messy! (thanks to all my friends who helped me there) So the day arrived and after several cups of Costa coffee a few slices of Costa toast and lots of chatting the rain eased off and we got our opportunity ….. For Mischief Begin xx

Sam and Tina thank you so much for such a fun morning looking forward to the 20th June xx

As some of you may know this was the year I took that leap of faith and started my own full time photography business. One of the first things I needed to was to make my little office. I’d bought a 70’s bureau wich was to be my desk for a while situated in my bedroom. I can’t say I liked being able to get out of bed and straight to work. So I started creating my office the spare room, which had become a place to put things that I had no room for any where else. After cleaning, filling a few holes and cracks in the walls & I think 3 coats of white paint, my little office was starting to take shape.

However after all that my computer screen was too low, Ray to the rescue he’s made me a very handy set of desk top draws, brilliant for keeping all those bits and bobs. An old pine set of draws were acquired from another charity place, just right for my printer to sit on. My office is a mishmash of different furniture but some how it works. I now have a place to work and at the end of the day I can close the door – Perfect I love my little office.

My Grandmas’s mirror now has somewhere to hang

A have a few plants in my office my mum gave me this little cutting

I love bright coloured pens they certainly cheer up my day, the paper clip tree was from Muji (not sure if they still sell them)
ps. The pencil pot is something that has survived from my childhood

Shelving for all our books ( Ray made the shelves too)

So this is where I sit, I can assure you it’s not always this tidy but I do try. xx
