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 Bet You Kiss Your Carving Knife…

By Rob

That don’t impress me much!

Oh dear…my son…the navigator.  So we’re heading towards Farnham on Saturday.  We hadn’t told Evan where we were going, only that we were going to buy his new bed.

About 3 miles down the A325 we get:

“Daddy…this is the way to Farmum”

“Yes, Evan, this IS the way to Farnham.  You are a very clever boy”

(Short Silence)

“Daddy…this is the way to Alice Holt awell”

“Wow, Evan…you’re right…this IS the way to Alice Holt.  You are such a grown up boy…well done.”

“Daddy…this is the way to Poo awell” — massive giggles

Right…well, at least he proved he’s still 3 and 1/2 years old!

Tooting One’s Own Horn

Back in September I shot the wedding of Sarah-Jane and Jonathan…last week, I got this:

“The photos are incredible and had me in tears watching them! (Tears of happiness of course) As for the music you chose… its as if you know me?

All the pictures were perfect and even better than we ever imagined! And believe me … we imagined great things from you Rob! :0)
Thank you so much for everything! I am SO pleased we found you – your Wedding pictures are one things you should splash out on, they are for always after all :0)

We have also had so many people by the way asking for your web site address as so impressed…. future customers without a doubt! :o)”

Naturally I replied and in Sarah-Jane’s reply back it just kept on coming :)

“It is a glowing endorsement Rob, but I mean every single word! Both Jonathan and I were speechless as we sat watching the DVDs……. I cried, Jon even welled up, ha-ha, In a manly way of course ;o)

“Beautiful” is a word I’d like to use to describe the pictures, however this still doesn’t do the pictures justice! Somehow the word beautiful… isn’t enough to explain how we feel about each photo you took!

You truly are such a talented man, with an eye that captures the most natural and purest of memories… that I am in awe of your talent!
Thank goodness we found you! And your family are lucky to have you!

Please do use the enclosed to post on your blog… its the very least we can do for you, after all you have done for us Rob!!!

Thank you so very very much!

AMAZING!”

Sarah-Jane and Jonathan

So…what about my cryptic blog entry title.  Well, Nicola is in cloud coo-coo land at the moment.  Pregnancy hormones do wonders for the brain.  On the way home the other night Shania Twain’s “That Don’t Impress Me Much” came on the radio.  Nicola professes that she doesn’t understanding why there is a line “I bet you kiss your carving knife…I mean, how stupid is that”.  To which I really tried hard to convince her it was not about a knife but rather about kissing his car good night.  But she wasn’t convinced.  Even on hearing it she still believed she was right.  It wasn’t until I mentioned the lyrics before the line that she (begrudgingly) conceded I was correct.  For the record:

You’re one of those guys who likes to shine his machine
You make me take off my shoes before you let me get in
I can’t believe you kiss your car good night
C’mon baby tell me-you must be jokin’, right!

Sorry for being so quiet lately.  I’ve been enjoying a bit of slack time.
