Becky and Steve's wedding

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

Suzanne and John's wedding.....

...was in Norwich. Now I have never been to Norwich, and you would have thought that, like pretty much EVERY city in the UK, it would be fairly easy to get to. But oh no! Single carriageway for miles. Mind you, when I got there, what a pretty place Norfolk is. Anyway, the wedding. I love doing weddings where the couple stamp there own personalities and style on the day. Suzanne and John did this from the grooms blue checked Converse baseys to the Mario cake! I had a hoot, and a little tip to anyone planning their wedding...sausages and mash is a fantastic choice for the wedding meal. And John's speech was one of the best I have heard for a very long time. Hilarious and moving. I just want to offer both of them my very best wishes and hope they have a long and loving life together.

It rained all day, right up to 6pm, at which point I whisked the whole bridal party outside, with a couple of flashguns and a big reflector dish and got some really urban style shots. I think I hit the mark.
