Xmas with the in-laws

A few pics taken at Darren's sister house in Great Yarmouth.... 2 young boys + Christmas morning... yes you got it, it was wayyyy to early!!

Tony and Zofia

Tony and Zofia's wedding was held at Selsdon Park Hotel http://www.selsdonparkhotellondon.co.uk/ which has amazing grounds to photograph, our fingers were heavily crossed as it had been raining heavily all week but the sunshine gods were smiling that day as the weather was perfect! However, I did bring along the jumbo white umbrellas just in case! It's hard to believe but Zofia was about 5 months pregnant in these images! There is no way of telling this though, she looked amazing. To add to the pressure of preparing for the wedding, Tony and Zofia were in the middle of moving house, they are a couple who do not like to do things by halves!!

Baby Riley

This is my attempt to photograph a baby! Here I was thinking how difficult can this be? Its a baby for goodness sake, they eat, sleep, barely move and cry occasionally.... oh dear, how wrong was I! Positioning a baby for a flattering pose, while keeping them alert, entertained and trying to avoid upsetting them was a marathon of a challenge! With my relaxed - this-should-be-a-simple-photo-shoot approach, I was completely unprepared, a baptism of fire (excuse the baby pun) of course I gave the impression to Riley's parents that I was cool, calm and collected, done this a million times! Or at least I 'think' this was the impression I was giving them?!?

Anyway, here's the result of the shoot.

Emma and Paul

You've got to have friends.....

Darren and I were invited to our good friend Emma's wedding to Paul in fabulous Haselmere, the weather was a scorcher and the bride looked radiant and so so happy! The ceremony and reception were held at Branksome Place - http://www.deverevenues.co.uk/locations/branksome-place.html a lovely place to have a wedding, we all stayed at the hotel and it just felt very private with gorgeous natural surroundings.

Of course I couldn't resist and brought the camera along to take some shots.. here's a few pics.

I want a giant connect 4! 

Ellen and Duwaynne

It's a family affair....


The bride Ellen is my partner, Darren's cousin and they asked us very nicely if "her favourite cousin in the whole wide World" would photograph their special day! As we're easily won over by compliments we obliged. It just meant we had to curb the alcohol consumption until all photography was completed! Ellen and Duwaynne are perfectly suited to one another, ying and yang. The ceremony was beautiful and the bride looked fabulous in a very retro 1950's style. The ceremony took place in leafy Chiswick and the food served at the reception was de-li-cious!!
