Where do I begin? What a lovely few days this was. I want to be back already. Anyone who knows me, knows that my second love after wedding photography is the outdoors. Ok maybe my love for both those things are equal. Being outside to me is like being given an immense amount of oxygen after holding your breath... like being wrapped up in a blanket of joy. Nature to me[...]

Welcome to the souks of Marrakech.  Where the air is filled with cries of gypsies, snake-charmers, wandering minstrels, magicians, and folk-singers. There are tanneries on pavements, street artists in every corner and vegetable vendors popping out of alleys. If you’re not paying attention, you could end up with a monkey on your shoulder or a snake wrapped around your [...]

Oh my word, I can't tell you just how excited I have been to share this magical Italian experience. I will remember it for the rest of my life. Without a doubt. Back in May I headed to Italy to photograph two gorgeous Italian weddings. I had exactly one week between each of the weddings. I wanted to travel. I kept dismissing the idea. Thinking "I am too busy to make t[...]

During December Kris & I visited Norway, the main purpose of the shoot was to capture some portraits of a gorgeous couple and I am happy to say that's what happened! Check out Fauziah & Andre's just married shoot... For the duration of the trip we stayed in airbnb's which is just fab! it's a brilliant way to meet local Norwegian's and experience the way loc[...]

Happy New Year! I am kicking off the new year with a travel blog post... I absolutely love to travel. It is something that makes me very happy. Seeing new cultures, new food and ways of living. Below are a selection of my favourite images I took in Spain. Many miles were travelled... we visited Salou, Tarragona, Lleida, Barcelona & Valencia. Sagrada Família was br[...]

During September I headed over to Italy, a beautiful hidden corner... The town is a magical place named Santa Maria and it was my home for ten days. I was shooting two gorgeous weddings over there and so in between shooting beautiful couples tie the knot I took photographs of the local area, me myself and my camera. The result was a "Just Because..." collection of pho[...]

Bridlington is a heart warming place, it has the perfect mix of peacefulness & excitement. I first started visiting Bridlington three years ago and it is a place I know I will always enjoy visiting. The waffles, fish & chips, ice cream, bright lights, calm waves, entropy of seagulls and rustic boats... I wanted to do a "Just Because..." post to convey what I t[...]

If people ever ask me where I am from my first answer is always Manchester, though I live on the outskirts and don't really know the city as much as I think I should. Manchester is full of mystery to me, it's ever changing yet there's parts of it that  remain consistent. I know that I really like the place though, the vibrancy and urban textures. I took these photos w[...]

Malta is a beautiful island, I wasn't sure what to expect at first though when I first saw it I fell in love. It's so lovely, Italy meets England I'd say. It's quirky, up beat and not afraid of doing things in its own way... We started our trip off in Mellieha, boy was there a lot of walking. Don't worry though, we often stopped as cafe's to enjoy tea and ice cream...[...]

I love this view, it is so special to me. It gives me a special calming feeling whenever I see it, especially in person! Even though it was wet and windy, I didn't mind... I enjoyed it just as much as any other time...   Chelsea xx

Rhosneigr beach, a treasured corner of Anglesey that I have been visiting since I was a little girl. I am lucky enough to have some family who live there who have showed me how lovely it is... It was Easter and so I thought why not. I loved spending time with Jensen & Hudson, my beautiful baby brothers... We strolled along the beach, Jensen wanted to walk fast whe[...]

Today is the first day of Spring! I want to say it is my favourite month, however, I like them all. Although... that said, I much prefer longer days and shorter nights. I get so much more done that way... which translates to, I spend less time to hibernating, eating and drinking hot chocolate on the sofa! This means that this is the first "Just because..." blog post o[...]
