First big isolation wobble for me: realising I should be working at Swing Rev this weekend. I’ve never missed a Swing Rev since I started dancing. My heart hurts this weekend. I should be watching my friends win competitions, hugging people I never get to see, capturing slices of jazz history, and getting overtired emotional about how much I love dancing. Here are some favourites from last year. Swing Rev, I miss you. Friends, I miss you most.

A little bit of @prissyfinn and @andreas1936 joy from @birminghamswing 😝😁 . . . . . . #swing #swingdance #balboa #shag #collegiateshag #lindy #lindyhop #swingdancers #lindyhoppers #dancers #dance #friendship

Teachers demos are one of my all-time fave things to photograph — the lines, the vibes, everything! Here’s one from @uonswingsoc Nottingjam last weekend 💃🙌🏻 . . . . #swing #swingdance #nottingham #lindyhop #lindy #swingdancing #swivels #swivel #trousers #lindyhoppers #swingsociety

I’m back in Nottingham this weekend for @uonswingsoc’s Nottingjam — I’m almost at the end of a lot of travelling, I’m at that ‘’no longer unpacking’ stage. If you see me this weekend, please give me a brew, hug and tell me a fun fact.

This weekend, I was honoured to be asked to photograph Vicky and Alex’s special day. The whole wedding was secret until the very last minute, with only a very small number of friends and family attending (with only days notice!). It was an absolutely gorgeous day for such a delightful couple 😍 Now, on with the edit.... . . . . . #wedding #weddingphotography #confetti #weddingphotographer #bride #groom #weddingday #vintage #classic #bluesuit #confettiphotography #confettiphoto #redlip #brideandgroom

I can tell from my notifications that the @birminghamswing photos have dropped 🙌🏻 tag me in your faves! 💕 . . . . . #dance #dancers #lindyhop #lindy #swing #swingdance #jazz #solojazz #solodancers #crazycolorhair #vintagedance #retrostyle #pinkhair
