Had a really great day yesterday with Becky and Steve. I have known Steve for about 4 years, and the whole day was a reflection of their personalities; lots of laughter, and with him being a project manager, everything ran perfectly. One thing struck me yesterday as I was peering down a lens at people; Steve and Becky are really in love. Now that may sound a fairly obvious thing to say, particularly at a wedding, but I have been to weddings where it has been nigh on impossible to get shots those candid, "sneaky" shots of the bride and groom, as they were never together. Becky and Steve, on the other hand, were pretty much inseparable, and that made it a joy to do, and I really wish them all the best for their years together.
Well, it is my turn next week, when I marry my wonderful, stunning fiance, who is also my absolute best friend. I am genuinely a VERY VERY lucky man.
Catch you later

Another happy day
Well, this is the first time I have had a chance to sit down this week and commit to updating this blog.
First off, I just want to say a huge congratulations to Bev and Aaron on their marriage last Saturday. I had the honour of photographing their day, and had a fantastic time. Aaron is a member of our armed forces, and all the lads came dressed in number 2s. It is the first time I have done a forces wedding, and the uniform really helps to balance the shots. I wish them both all the very best of luck in their new life together, and I sincerely hope we stay in touch. Some of the shots attached
On a more personal note, I am off on holiday next week with the tribe, so I am planning on hammering the Olympus Trip. Will post some pics when I get back. Catch you later!!!

What a week.....
Hey y'all. How is everyone? Good I hope.
Have had a really, really busy, fun, exhausting week this week. Last Saturday I did a wedding in Essex for Clare and Rob. What a fun day that was. Rob is a Ska fan, and the lads turned up in Cherry Red DMs, shades and trilbies and looked the mutts nuts. I love weddings where the couple stamp their own personalities on the day, rather than the rather production line affairs that you generally see in magazines. Rob and Clare are dead canny, and made me feel really welcome. It was a real hoot of a day, and I just hope they like the pictures as much as I enjoyed taking them.
Then, on Thursday I was at a local nursery school. I made a concious decision to move away from the usual "school-photo" look, and to be honest I was dead nervous about doing this. However, I have had some really nice mails from the parents so I think the decision has been justified. Move to Thursday evening, and I could be found at the Marriott Hotel in Gosforth with the graduating VI formers from St Benet Biscop School, taking photos at their Graduation Ball. Thursday had been a HOT day, and the lads and lasses kept me busy from 7 o'clock till about 11. Surrounded by partying students and teachers, can you imagine how tempting it must have been to slip off for 5 minutes and enjoy a nice cold bottle of Budvar, but, being the consumate professional, I resisted and stuck to the iced water. Was a great evening, but by the time I got home and backed up the pictures, it was 2 in the morning. Getting up on Friday was hard work.
I just want to say thank you to Rob and Clare, Nicola Evans and Sophie Hawkins. I had a lot of fun this week
