New year resolutions baffle me to say the least, particularly when it comes to self-image. Why wait for a new year to create a new you? In fact, why create a new you in the first place?

For me a wedding is a passionate commitment fueled by love. But what is love? Philosophers, poets and musicians have been trying to describe it for centuries, but still the answer remains elusive, as it means so many different things to many different people. The Oxford Dictionary says: "It is a strong feeling of affection." But, for me and hopefully many others reading my posts, surely it is more than that?

Today I am happy to share with you my second guest blog post for Her Lovely Heart, a resource which aims to inspire and encourage photographers and other artists in the pursuit of running their own businesses.

I am honured and super excited to be the new guest blogger for Her Lovely Heart a resource which aims to inspire and encourage photographers and other artists in the pursuit of running their own businesses. Marianne Taylor and her fabulous team help keep your creative juices flowing and your eyes fed with colour and beauty whilst sharing practical tips and priceless advice to help your business grow from strength to strength. If you have dreamt of building a business around your passion, or are already self-employed and trying to embrace staying focused and inspired, then Her Lovely Heart is the place for you.

The reason why I love photography so much is because it allows me to express myself in the most natural way I know how. With the help of my camera I am able to think of an idea and make it become a reality. An idea I recently had was to portray the stylish, unique and imaginative array of options the wedding industry has to offer and by doing so, reassuring brides that they don't have to go with the status-quo when it comes to choosing a wedding dress and accessories.

I'm super excited that one of my fabulous Fashionista Bride's is featured in the current issue of Wedding saying yes to fashion-forward wedding dress styles and championing my Fashionista Bride shoot.
