O N E • Thats the number of weddings I've photographed this year with most of my couples postponing or booking for next year and beyond. But I remain hopeful for my business, as did Kayleigh & Raj about their wedding day. Circumstances meant they absolutely could not postpone to next year and although very different to what they had imagined (due to the restrictions), it was still beautiful and fun with lots of smiles and happy tears throughout. They managed to tie the knot before lockdown part 2 in the beautiful late summer sunshine.

Experiencing Kayleigh & Raj's wedding has shown me just how beautiful small, intimate ceremonies can be as well as the bigger ones. Whether you have 15 guests or 150 and beyond, I'm here for it all and I can't wait to photograph more small weddings, big weddings, quirky or traditional venues, religious ceremonies, humanist weddings, whatever you decide. It's all LOVE and it's everything I love to photograph.

F I N D • t h e • M A G I C • ...in the madness. Last month, I met this lovely duo and their beautiful dogs for their much anticipated (and very delayed) engagement photoshoot. With already having to postpone their wedding 𝙩𝙬𝙞𝙘𝙚, we were determined to get a socially distanced engagement session done this year.

October is one of my favourite times of year. The sun is low and hazy, the trees are beautifully coloured and hello crunchy leaves! Suriya and Roma braved an early morning start so that we could capture sunrise (see previous post) and avoid too many people. They were so fun to be around and their smiles and laughter made my morning. Finding those little wins of joy in a challenging year is everything right now and I'm totally here for it. It'll be some time before their wedding finally comes around but it'll be such an incredible day when it happens. I can't wait to be part of it.

I'll be posting more from this engagement shoot soon, featuring the couple's beautiful dogs. 🐾💘

L O V E • W I N S • ̶C̶o̶r̶o̶n̶a̶v̶i̶r̶u̶s̶ ̶, ̶P̶a̶n̶d̶e̶m̶i̶c̶ ̶ and ̶C̶o̶v̶i̶d̶1̶9̶ ⬅️ These words are banned from my Social Media feeds!

As a small business owner affected by the shit show this year has become, I refuse to allow the negativity of 2020 bleed onto my feeds. The wellbeing of my couples and branding clients are important to me. My social feeds are a safe space for uplifting, positive, happy vibes. If I stress myself about the lack of wedding or business branding clients and share this with you all, I'd hate to be triggering anxiety, stress, worry, sadness, all that crappy stuff in my clients too.

More than anything right now, we need to remind ourselves that THIS WILL PASS and we will have our beautiful weddings, however big or small, our holidays abroad and our date nights to the cinema. We will be able to share tight hugs and celebratory moments together. Football matches will be filled with fans and music events will be filled with drunk dancing. So, on that sweet note, I'm looking forward to posting more fierce love and moments of infectious laughter with you all.

Do you agree? I'd love for you to comment with positivity or wisdom to carry us through the last part of 2020 ⬇️ and also, I'll be spamming more of this beaut wholesome couple soon! 🤍

One for the ethical and money savvy couples out there. Of course this blog post isn't bashing Diamonds, cause lets face it ladies and gents, we love a little luxury bling, but for those seeking an alternative at a great cost 💎 Link in my Bio to learn more!

T I M I N G • A tribute to my #SoulSister.

Let me introduce you to this wonderful Bride, Karan. I photograph so many amazing couples but this particular pair were something quite special. Karan is one of my closest #friends. She is the type of friend who will encourage you, support you, push you to be the best you. She will be there in your darkest hour and edge you towards brighter days. She will never judge you and will always tell you what you need to hear, even when it's not what you want to hear. She's the type of friend that you can have an honest conversation with - all guards down. Sometimes we agree to disagree but there is never any love lost. We once took a little life changing trip to #Paris and serious life decisions were made there. In fact, we wouldn't be where we are today if it weren't for the lessons we learnt in Paris.

Karan and I have had scarily similar experiences, both good and not so good. When something happens to me, something similar happens to her and vice versa, hence the Soul Sister tag. I took on an extra job alongside my #photography business and guess what... Karan took on a Lead in Mental Health at the same establishment! So I wasn't surprised when she told me she had met someone, around the time I had met my partner too. It felt like the timing for us both fell in sync so that we could do this journey at the same time.

The more I heard about Tony, the more I knew their connection was so incredibly right for each other. She's a strong character with a whole lot of heart and Tony totally compliments that. It felt like the stars had aligned for the two of them and I couldn't be happier when I found out Tony was going to #propose. Their wedding was probably my toughest to capture because I put a crazy amount of pressure on myself to deliver forever memories (like I do with all my couples). I didnt want to let my Soul Sister down, she had waited so long for this day to come. I've said it before Tony, we come as a package, so you have totally gained an annoying little sister 😉 so when lockdown is over... I'll be moving into your spare bedroom pronto.

Always look after each other 💕

You’re about to book your makeup artist and BOOM… you’ve noticed the condition of your skin could be better. Is it dry? Have you been breaking out with stress or maybe hormones. Maybe your fella needs a little TLC with his skin texture. Whatever the condition of your skin, you still have time to revive its appearance. You’ve said “Yes!” to your sweet other half and now its time to get committed to a skin specialist and say “I do” to skincare!

New blog now live featuring the fabulous skin expert @annabellebourne_skinpro owner of @eterno_skinclinic who loves to play "put the pumpkin facemask on Priya" about once a month (before lockdown!) as always, link is in the Bio!

The past month has been very heavy hearted. I have

The past month has been very heavy hearted. I haven't said much because I couldn't put it into words. Long before this continued racism in society started to get captured on video, I have been having private conversations with my some of my white friends about my own experiences. This, along with conversations about Trayvon Martin, Eric Garner, Ahmaud Arbery and now George Floyd (to name a few). You're wrong to think this brutality only exists in America & only by police. Daniel Adewole, Olaseni Lewis, Julian Cole, Sarah Reed, Jermaine Baker, Stephen Lawrence to name a few British victims of brutality. This affects all countries.

I've been unable to focus on work & on what needs to be done, because it all feels false right now. What needs to be done is for people to look inwardly at their own privilege + bias & unlearn first to learn anti-racism & equality. It's hard, it's uncomfortable, but it's growth & it's needed! I feared I'd upset my friends + followers by speaking out. I've spoken about anti-racism & white privilege on this platform before (head over to my highlight circle called "PRIYA"). It made some people uncomfortable, so they unfollowed/unfriended me & that's okay. But now is the time to 𝙒𝙀𝙇𝘾𝙊𝙈𝙀 that discomfort! Being anti-racist is not enough! Educate yourself + your families, be an ally, call out racism when you see it. 𝙇𝙀𝘼𝙍𝙉 about the words - white privilege, white fragility, white ally, unconscious bias, micro-aggression, white silence, institutional racism. Nobody at all is born racist, it's learnt behaviour, so you can unlearn that behaviour & teach anti-racism at home too! It is not the responsibility of our black brothers & sisters to teach you what has always been a constant in society, especially in these times. They are reliving 400 years of oppression. You have the internet at your finger tips. LEARN IT! Find the resources. What are you going to do when the news reports "blow over" in a couple of weeks? I myself have a long way to go & this post is not enough. #BlackLivesMatter - If you wish to learn more, here are some accounts you can follow as a starting point: @novareidofficial @sholamos1 @laylafsaad @standforhumanity

This post isn’t about how to budget for designer shoes, but instead looking at what is available on our high-street for alternatives. What a way to kick start my new blog with talking about shoes! A topic I love! Believe me there are so many beautiful wedding day worthy bridal shoes available on our very own high-street. Some almost resembling those designer shoes you long for.

Did you manage to catch my recent blog post on Wedding Shoe inspiration? Head over to the link in my insta-bio for more. I'd love to hear your feedback on the post and where you are buying your wedding shoes from 💕
