My 2016: weddings
It’s that time of year again…. my 180 favourite images from my 2016 weddings!
I really limited my number of weddings again this year as I’m loving doing so much family photography, but the 16 weddings that I did shoot were absolute belters and gave me 100 weddings worth of amazing moments to photograph.
I really feel like my images are different this year in comparison to previous years… I couldn’t quite put my finger on it at first when I was going through them… but I feel like this year more than ever, I feel at home with my style and my priorities – that I don’t need the ‘money’ shots, the showy shots, the killer locations… that quite simply… people – and all the beautiful things they show in their faces, their bodies, their hands, their eyes – are enough… People are always enough.
So here’s a massive thank you to all the incredible people below who made 2016 one of my favourite years ever by confirming for me that all I needed was what they brought along inside them. You made 2016 so very bloody special.

So so soooooooo lovely Anna! Made me feel all happy inside looking through these xx
Thanks so much Caro that’s really great to hear! 🙂
Fabulous Anna – love you loads in every respect! ✌🏼️& ❤️️ xxx
Love you too buddy x
wow, what a year you had! great photos!
Thanks so much!
Life affirming and so touching. 2016 has been a tough year but it’s important to remember the joy and these photos massively help with that. Clever Anna. Wonderful stuff x
Thanks so much my love, really appreciate it 🙂 It has been such a tough year but there’s so much good stuff too, like you say xxx
Incredible images Anna! Looks like you’ve had an amazing wedding season. Nice one!
Thanks so much Amy!
If they’re not ‘money shots’ then I don’t know what is. I think the definition of a money shot is one that hits you in the heart as much as the eyes, in which case that’s 160 money shots right there. Super good work Anna 🙂
That’s such a nice thing to say, and means so much coming from you! Appreciate it dude 🙂
Ahhh looking at these made me all emotional – not just because of the stunning/funny/warm/loving photos but because it just reiterates 100% that you are the person we want at our wedding, to be part of our day and take some bloody amazing photos! I cannot wait! x
Aw, don’t, you’ll make me cry lol! 🙂 I am so bloody excited about being part of your wedding, I can’t even tell you. xxx
Great set! Looks like you had an amazing year 🙂
Thanks so much Shane!
So, so, SO, awesome. I know it’s become a bit of a cliche, but moments over mountains, every time xx
Thanks so much Pen! Hope you guys are well 🙂 x
Gorgeous photos Anna! You capture so much personality!! A brill 2016.
Thanks so much Adam!
The honesty and realness of your images is divine. Love your work!
That really means a lot, thanks so much Winston!
WOW Anna, although I’m not sure why I’m saying WOW, I’m not one bit surprised by the level and quality of work on show here, yet again you’ve captured weddings with such personality, amazing use of light and utterly brilliant compositions!! Mulled wine, champagne and whiskey all totally deserved this Christmas!! X
Such a lovely thing to say, thanks so much Sam, really appreciate it 🙂
Bloody gorgeous Mrs! So, so ‘you’ and that is about the biggest compliment that can be paid to any photographer. Oozing character and just so beautifully observed! Love it!
