Hello and welcome to the MK Collins Photography blog. Here in these blog posts, you will find photos showing all the excitement, drama and emotion from recent weddings, as well as engagement shoots, lifestyle portrait sessions and anything else newsworthy.
As you will see from the images in this blog, some of the wedding and engagement shoot locations are absolutely stunning. I feel extremely lucky to be a North Devon wedding photographer, allowing me to capture weddings in this gorgeous part of the UK.
