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 really hate to be brief…its not in my nature. But since I’ve already written some blurb and Mr ButterLinks here click on the wrong button and lost the lot. In summary it goes like this:

I have Christmas themed family photos…but I’m slammed with stuff to do so I haven’t done it

Yes, I know everything wrong with this photo…but I can’t beat that look!

Inside the reception there was a big screen with a slideshow of family photos throughout the years

Most, however, gave up after seeing Alex’s fro

That is one fine cake! And now you can see the purple haze. It was fine where the spotlights overpowered it.

5000…AGAIN! I’m feeling faint here!

022 076 Purple Haze
In all honesty…I totally blew this shot. But when I looked at it against the ‘proper’ one and realised its potential, I reckon it was a fortunate accident

In the shower…and I’m not making that up!

As he said “he is Jewish after all!”

And a few from Darren…Who I call Tenacious D…or perhaps now Tenacious 5D! Why…well, now I’ve been able to give him a 5D to use I suddenly got about a double return rate on his images. I always said there were better images but his camera let him down — yes, that’s right, the £2500 camera I used to let him use.
