Evan and Holly’s Dad’s Blog

Hi and welcome to my blog. Filled with images from my recent weddings, engagement shoots, portrait sessions and corporate work. Most importantly its a window into my world...a world where family takes an upper hand and I have the images to prove it. Hopefully you'll take a few minutes to browse and once addicted set the blog as a bookmark. If you have any comments please feel free to add them or just get in touch.

For The Record: The images that I put on the blog from recent weddings may not always be the best or even ones you might expect. They are things that I saw, that I like that I want to share. Sometimes they are part of a quirky story or show a tender or ironic side to a wedding.

I was captivated at how Holly’s little shoes sat on my walking boots. Only one thing you can do…take a ‘pitcher’. Regarding the Dolly’s shoes…well, at first she didn’t like them. Now, if you even think about putting your own on, she grabs hers, holds them out and grunts at you until you relent and put them on her. Yep…she’s a woman!

Unfortunately quite a lot at the moment if you are my friend and fellow photographer David Calvert.

David has just discovered this in light of the recent stories run in the daily papers suggesting that Jon Venables was going by the name of David Calvert. Since then David’s photography site has had over 50,000 hits. Normally we’d be thrilled that his site is so popular, but at the moment he is obviously very concerned.

As his colleagues we are doing all we can to help David disassociate himself from this dreadful story. He is in no way related to David Calvert of Fleetwood, who has also been highlighted in the press and is in no way connected to the tragic case of Jamie Bulger.

David, 46,  is a national award winning photographer and his business David Calvert Photography, based in Hertfordshire, specialises in family and child portraiture. David has our complete support in these difficult circumstances and we hope very much that they pass without impact to him, his own family or his business.


Can you call it a tradition after only doing it for only two years?  My tradition, my rules!

Evan…that dear little boy…turned 5 on Saturday. With a big party, a bouncy castle, loads of friends and some very tired parents, aunties, grandparents and sister, we managed to get through it. Many thanks to everyone who came along and for all the lovely gifts. I’ll be working on the kiddie-booth (sounds dodgy) photos this week ready for the thank yous.

A few months back I came up with an idea. The Vicar of our church is retiring at the end of May and it seemed like a good opportunity to convince him to allow me to follow him around for a day and document what he gets up to. Thanks to childcare etc its actually going to be spread out over a couple of days. Today was day 1. Like any job what reckon happens is usually replaced with more office based work than you can imagine. Giles is no different. Meetings, email and reviewing are all part of the more normal things that Vicars get up to. My desire to follow through with the project was enhanced even more after my stint at MyVision. I will, in time, present my entire project but here is a little teaser, an offering if you will, from today.
