Hi. I’m Anna.
I love tea and cake, being at the seaside and musicals and my dream day would encompass all of these.
Eh up!
I’m Anna, a Yorkshire lass (or as my dad would say, ‘a reet yorksha lass’) living in Lancashire. I love games (I might be a teeny tiny bit competitive), generally being a bit silly and enjoy trying (and failing) to impersonate any accent.
We have a cockapoo called Lola who doesn’t like people. In the park other dog walkers find it amusing when I say ‘she likes dogs but is not keen on people’. ‘Clever dog’ they say. I however quite like people, especially when they’ve fully enjoyed the free drinks at a wedding, abandoned their shoes, and are trying to win a space hopper race.
#Swiftie
I love Taylor Swift and I got to see her in Liverpool in June 2024 (#swiftie). It was the most amazing night, which I got to share with my daughter. I will never forget screaming to The Smallest Man Who Ever Lived with thousands of other people! I’ve been a Swiftie since before being a Swiftie was actually a thing. Her music has been the background of my adult life.
A few years ago, one of my couples had Taylor Swift (The Cardboard Version) at their wedding and you can imagine how much fun we had with that!
Life looks a bit like this
I’m from Yorkshire, but my husband Dan is from Preston, and after 15 years in my homeland, we are now in his. As much as I love Lancashire, I will soon have a wall in the house dedicated to Yorkshire. I LOVE travelling back to Yorkshire for weddings.
We bought a 1930’s semi which we are slowly renovating. I had big ideas of documenting this on a dedicated Instagram account but this never happened. So the summary is that we’ve done lots and there is still lots to do!
We love playing board games together and trying (and generally failing) to make Lola less grumpy towards everyone she meets. We have amazing friends, two fab children and are very grateful for all we have.
As a couple, we are really interested in politics and very much left-leaning. I would love to have Jeremy Corbyn over for tea! We believe in looking after the most vulnerable in society. Before I was a photographer, I worked with asylum seekers and refugees and Dan used to run a foodbank and we loved those roles. We are very involved in our local Church and love supporting community events.
At weddings, I love to chat and have bants and be part of the day, which helps put people at ease in front of the camera.
I’m also a dab hand with those fiddly dress buttons and have even fixed a few broken ones over the years (I’ve also sewn a few people into dresses!). I cry during most speeches and I absolutely love chatting to your nan. I will do anything for the shot – stand on a wall, lay in a puddle and a bit of casual trespassing might have occurred.
Weddings are all about people getting together to have a day of fun. I love the emotion that comes out (both ugly crying and belly laughs) and that someone has taken the time to plan a day that their family and friends will enjoy. Capturing all of that for my fab couples makes me have that fuzzy happy feeling.
