I've been meaning to write a definitive Las Vegas guide for ages - you guys are always asking me for recommendations of things to see and do! I've been there four times now and on each visit I find something new to entertain myself with.Read more...

I am very, very bad at keeping secrets, especially exciting ones! So when Sophie and I planned months ago, to take Ronnie to Paris for her birthday, I was sure I would accidentally blab. BUT I DIDN'T AND I'M SO PROUD.Read more...

When you decide to book a holiday, what's the first thing you do? You probably figure out if you want to go lie on a beach, explore a new city or throw yourselves wholeheartedly into some kind of action/ adventure sports trip. Next, you might want to know how the weather is at the time of year you plan to travel. Then you'll probably look up what the local food is like, research the must-sees and investigate all the popular sites to see if they sound like something you'd enjoy...Read more...

For most people, only one thing springs to mind when they hear the name 'Hiroshima'. As the first ever city in to suffer a nuclear attack, it has a sad history for sure, but today's Hiroshima is far from a depressing place.Read more...

After all the stress and excitement of the wedding is over, your honeymoon is the perfect chance for you to kick back and relax. But what if the idea of lying on the beach in the Bahamas sounds frightfully dull? Don't you worry, my friends from Patchwork, an online alternative gift registry and honeymoon fund, are here today to share their top five 2016 honeymoon destinations!Read more...

One of the things I was most looking forward to on our recent trip to Japan was that we were going to take the Shinkansen (bullet train) to a few different cities. The transport in Japan is so fast and reliable and it really wasn't as scary as I thought it would be. (I wrote about our itinerary and all the ins and outs of getting the bullet train in my Japan 101 article.)Read more...

The movie Bright Lights, Big City may be about New York, but I think the concept is much more suited to Tokyo. I've been very lucky to have travelled a lot over the past few years, every time falling in love with new places, but nowhere has my heart quite like Japan's capital. I am 100% a city girl. I love the hustle and bustle, that fact that everything's open super late, and that you never know who you might meet or what whirlwind adventure you might end up on next. However Tokyo is unlike any other city I've ever been because of one major thing - the people.Read more...

It’s official: Japan is my favourite place on the planet. Gareth and I first visited Tokyo in 2008 for our honeymoon and we’ve always wanted to go back. We haven’t really had the time or money for a (non-working) holiday since then though, but at the beginning of this year we thought “Screw it, we've worked our arses off these past few years, let’s just do it!”Read more...

Ahh Marrakech. When I left in June, after a whirlwind two days with Gala and Shauna, I knew that one day I’d be back. I just didn’t realise it would be QUITE so soon. But when my sister Rachel and I were discussing her wedding décor plans recently, a quick trip over to the rainbow lined streets of the former imperial city to buy things for the wedding seemed like a perfectly logical way to spend a long weekend.Read more...

I'd heard so many amazing things about Morocco, so when Gala suggested the three of us go there after our last London Blogcademy I was so on-board for a little (big!) adventure. Not knowing much about Marrakesh other than it's loud and colourful and chaotic, I was a little nervous about what was in store, but as always, super excited to explore somewhere new.Read more...

I love London. Living just on it's doorstep means I'm there quite a lot. While it's known for being a very spendy city, there is hope for you my frugal honeymooning friends, as it also has a surprisingly high amount of free things to do. These are some of my favourites.Read more...

I first visited Vegas in February 2012 for a wedding photography conference. I kinda knew I'd love it before I even got there. It's basically like a giant theme park for adults after all! Also, living vicariously through all the hundreds of epic Vegas weddings I've featured over the years meant I was SO READY to experience it for myself.Read more...

After teaching The Blogcademy that weekend, Gala, Shauna and I had two free days to explore Berlin before heading to Amsterdam midweek. Although our time was limited, we didn't let that stop us, in fact we really packed a lot in.Read more...

Known for it's steep rolling hills, cable cars and as the home of the iconic Golden Gate Bridge, San Francisco is sure to be at the top of many of your honeymoon destination wish lists. Which is why, when I was there recently teaching a workshop, I took copious notes on all the awesome things we did and saw for this blog post!Read more...

I wouldn't say Gareth and I were particularly impulsive. My diary is usually pretty booked solid these days, and in the rare times when it's not I spend most of my time glued to my computer screen, trying my hardest to power through my ever expanding 'to do' list. Gareth has also never, ever surprised me with a holiday before so its not something I'd ever expect him to do.Read more...

If there's one thing I've learnt from doing so much travel, its that packing the right things can make or break the flight. Even the longest journey in cramped economy can be much more bearable if you go into it prepared. I wouldn't dream of hopping onto a plane without any of these things now!Read more...

I've travelled to many a-far flung place over the past few years but I was really looking forward to last weekend's trip down to Camber Sands. The reason being that I was going there with these beautiful creatures, and we hadn't seen each other in FOREVER. It's the things closest to home that are often the most special don't you think?Read more...

One of the highlights of my recent trip to Palm Springs was visiting The Saguaro, the famous rainbow hotel. In fact our friends Allie and Christina booked in here just so we could stop by and take photos!Read more...

Planning your honeymoon can be just as difficult as planning the wedding itself, but it's also got to be up there with one of the best parts of the whole thing too. Kicking back and relaxing after a year or so of intense preparation is going to be pretty blissful, but how do you make sure you get your choice of honeymoon destination right?Read more...
