Limpley Stoke Wedding Fayre

Big thank you to Katie Williams at the Best Western in Limpley Stoke (Bath's Country Hotel) for organising a super wedding fayre. It was great to see the good people of Bath, Bradford-on-Avon, Frome, Trowbridge and around. good luck to everyone with their wedding plans. The fayre just highlighted how much there is to think about, and how much choice there is!!

Retro Wedding... it's the 1960's!

It was with great pleasure, and some hope and excitement, that I took the job of Trish and Adam's wedding. This was to be no ordinary wedding (in truth they never are). But this one was to be very different, a 1960's themed wedding!

When it came to the day I was not disappointed!! This, of course, was never in doubt. Trish and Adam are creative types and were fully behind the concept. Incredibly in 3 months they managed to prepare everything, mostly made by themselves or family and with the remaining roles handed to local tradespeople. The Pelican (Stapleford) laid on some fabulous 60's food, and Chris Rhind-Tutt was up all night preparing the beautiful flower displays. The day was rounded off by a very impressive Beatles tribute band who not only sounded like the Fab Four, but had the band members banter to go with it.

Having seen all the hard work people put in I was especially pleased that Trish and Adam were so delighted with my work and the detail I caught on camera for them. Trish has since told me that in years to come she would have forgotten many of the things I photographed. Now, "I can look back and be proud that I achieved all those things myself in just three months"! Well Trish, you deserve those memories. It was a brilliant day. May Trish and Adam have a long and happy life together!!!

It's A Dog's Life

Had some fun recently capturing pictures of dog training for the excellent Charis at Charismatic Pets. Charis wanted to spruce up her website www.charismaticpets.co.uk and as the owner of two of her 'pupils' I was only too pleased to help. Charis is highly trained, passionate about what she does, and last years winner of Warminster's new business award. Chasmatic Pets offers Dog Behaviour Consultations, Dog & Puppy Training Classes, 1:1 Training, Behaviour & Training Workshops, Do Walking, and Pet Sitting services.

Virgin!

Oh yes! I'm full of excitement and anticipation, as this Sunday is my first Wedding Fair! I'll be at the Reading Town Hall from 11 - 15.30 hoping to make a good impression on the Brides and Grooms that visit.

It's surprising how much preparation goes into these events. For me, as a first timer, there has been plenty to design, print and buy. Oh, and forget! Thanks to the ever magical Loxley Colour who managed to whiz over those last minute items in double quick time!!

Wish me luck! Or, if you're on the look out for a photographer, come along and see me!
