Mary and Jim's wedding, Farnham.

A wet start to the day it was! However I always think that rain on a wedding day brings good luck. Mary and Jim married in Farnham Baptist church, followed by a reception at Crondall Village Hall. The sun decided to appear just at the end of the service which was brilliant for the group photos. I made poor Richard my second shooter scale the roof (actually he had a ladder but that just sounds better) for the shot of the whole wedding party. Rather precarious but it worked. I'm going to post some more pictures over the next day or so but here's the first. Congratulations to Mary and Jim, who will be jetting off on honeymoon to Sacremento tomorrow.

Carl and Carim Wedding

Last Saturday was Carl and Carim's wedding day. The sun shone but it felt really autumnal. No time for us to get cold, David and I were running around all over the place!

Carl, the groom chose to spend his time before the wedding in the local. (as you can see below) Luckily for him and Carim, it was next to the church so there was no chance for him to be late. However the bride, in Vera Wang was fashionably late. The Bridesmaids had informed me there had been some problems with the little bridesmaids pomander bouquets. The Roses kept falling out so they ended up sticking them back in with chewing gum! Quite ingenious I thought.

It really was a gorgeous day, St Albans morris dancers were even on hand to perform for the guests. Congratulations Carim and Carl.

Finally I am pleased to sat that at the end of November my website will be up and running. This will be linked into my blog so you'll be able to catch up with my activities still. James Kelly from www.kellystudio.co.uk has been working really hard on my site for months now. He must have the patience of a saint as I am very fussy and have changed the design and layout so many times.

I will be attending a wedding course with the Trained Eye during the last week in November whilst it's all quiet and then wedding season kicks of for me again in April next year.

I have lots of lovely shoots planned before that to keep me busy including a baby bump shoot, another Boudoir and about 3 Pre-wedding shoots. Keep watching this space and I'll keep posting.

I have Mary and Jim's wedding this weekend, in Farnham and I'm really looking forward to it. I'll try and get some pics up on the blog on Sunday.

A Grand Gathering

Family Reunion

You might remember a while back I did a shoot at a friends house, well I've been back this morning. This time to shoot some family members that are over visiting from New Zealand and Florida. I was drafted to in to take some family photo's. We had quite a lot of fun trying to get four children and all adult members to smile and behave at the same time! Here are a few shots from earlier on.

Luton Hoo

Carim and Carl's wedding reception venue.

Last Saturday I travelled to Luton Hoo near Harpenden to check out the venue for this weekend's wedding. I am assisting David, a colleague on this one. Carl and Carim are getting married at a lovely church in St Albans followed by a reception at the gorgeous Luton Hoo. There is the most amazing staircase at this venue so I am really excited about getting some beautiful pictures. I'll keep you posted.
