After months of doing almost nothing but answering

After months of doing almost nothing but answering emails and updating my diary, I finally got to do the part of my job that I love the most!
What a privilege it was to join Bex & Rak for their elopement in the Isle of Skye. The weather was not on our side for most of the day, the ceremony was basically in the clouds and we all got soaked but I loved every second and it was still a beautiful epic adventure.
If there ever was a year to say fuck it lets elope, 2020 is it!

Before I take a much needed social media break I just wanted to remind everyone that I am still taking bookings for FaceTime Portrait sessions. Head to the link in the bio to book your session. I’ll also be picking up my camera again from July for Personal Branding shoots, as long as they take place outdoors and in Manchester. You can head to my website or email me to find out more. I won’t be checking my DM’s so please resist the urge to to DM me!
See you next week folks!

Black Lives Matter. Words are not my thing, and I

Black
Lives
Matter.
Words are not my thing, and I often find it hard to articulate my thoughts but I’m gonna share them anyway.
George Floyd was not the first, and sadly has not been the last. This is nothing new. It’s not enough to be shocked and surprised, it’s not actually that surprising that police brutality continues when they are rarely, if ever held accountable for their actions. The lack of accountability (and the way the police are responding to peaceful protests) just shows that it’s not just a few bad eggs, it’s an entire system.
I’m never surprised when this happens. Hurt, angry, distressed yes! But surprised? Never.
And this is not just an American issue, it happens in the UK too. Systemic racism goes deeper than police brutality. The wedding industry isn’t unaffected by it, it’s not a utopia of love and diversity. 😒
.
Sharing posts on your stories is nice but it’s what your doing offline, behind closed doors that is really important. Are you calling out racism in your family and friends? Are you educating yourself about white privilege and Britain’s racist past? If not why not? Put your outrage into action. The Central Park woman also said she was not racist, but her actions proved otherwise. Being anti racist means putting in the work. The resources are available all you have to do is look for them. Read books like ‘Natives’ by Akala, ‘White Fragility’ by Robin DiAngelo and ‘Why I’m no longer talking to white people about race’ by @renieddolodge (who also has a podcast)
Follow people like @novareidofficial and @rachel.cargle and pay for their resources and use your privilege to elevate black voices.
Things will not change unless the people who benefit from white supremacy change.
In the word of @nulyweds
After Black lives matter is no longer trending I will still be black. Will you still be anti-racist?

Couples portraits can be done via FaceTime too! 😎😎

Well it’s been a while since I posted anything permanent on here! The last few months have been a bit of an emotional rollercoaster right! But I’ve been keeping busy and creative by learning how to weave, buying more plants than should and taking portraits of awesome people via FaceTime!
Here’s one of beautiful @theafrounicorn looking like she belongs in a perfume ad!
