I know, I know. I’m starting this post with my usual apology for the radio silence on here! If keeping a blog up to date was a New Year’s resolution, I’d have failed it by January 2nd (right along with my annual attempt to eat less chocolate). 😂
But while the blog has been quiet, my life behind the lens has been anything but. Looking back at 2025, I am genuinely blown away by the year I’ve had. It’s been a total whirlwind of incredible couples, stunning venues, and working alongside the absolute best in the business.
A few things I’m shouting about
I’m not one to brag, but I’m so proud to share that for the 8th year running, I was named a Top 3 videographer in Derby.
That one always hits different because it’s based entirely on the reviews and feedback from my couples. Knowing that my couples took the time to write such kind words about their films is exactly what keeps me motivated to work as hard as I do. To top it off, I officially surpassed 80 five-star reviews on Google this year! Reading through them never gets old and I am so grateful for every single one.
The places I call home
One of the highlights of 2025 was working at some of the most beautiful venues in the country. It is such a privilege to be a recommended supplier for places like Stubton Hall, Swancar Farm, The West Mill, Norwood Park, Alrewas Hayes, Foxtail Barns, The Mill Barns, Pendrell Hall, The Ashes Barn, and Shottle Hall, just to name a few.
I’ve spent so much time at these gorgeous venues that they feel like a second home now. I know exactly where the light hits best and how the teams work, which makes capturing your day so much smoother. A huge thank you to the staff at all my regular haunts for always making me feel so welcome!
Real life vs. The Grid
I’ll always be the first to admit that my social media and blog often take a backseat. When I’m not out shooting, I’m buried in the edit suite or spending time with my family. My priority is always making sure my couples get the best possible film & service, even if it means I’m a bit quiet on Instagram & the blog! Just know that if I’m not posting, it’s only because I’m busy making something special for someone else.
Bring on 2026!
So, what’s the plan for 2026? My calendar is already looking incredibly busy and I am itching to get started. I’m finishing up the last few edits from the end of 2025 as we speak, and then it’s full steam ahead.
To my 2026 couples: I can’t wait to get behind the camera and capture every bit of the joy, laughter, and confetti that your big days will bring!
