Cain Manor Wedding Photography – Lorna and Charlie – Just One
Posted by: | CommentsIn so many ways tonights Just One goes against all my non-traditional blood…but then I’m a sucker for little girls now that Holly is growing up. So let’s just give it a title…how about ‘Evolution’ and then I can call it arty :)

Happy Birthday — The Fall Out
Posted by: | CommentsOK…no one actually fell out. But I did take some pictures yesterday of the kids as it was Nicola’s birthday. Something I haven’t been doing too much lately. Not much to say…oh, except that the world has a new number. When playing hide and seek with Evan: “fifteen, sixteen, seventeen, eighteen, nineteen, twenteen”
Reading one of mummy’s cards

I love my brother…honest
Dancing…to Michael Jackson — seriously!
Evan tests the smellies


A little nightcap
Cake…love the cake!
Happy Birthday Mummy
Posted by: | CommentsToday is Nicola’s birthday. What better birthday treat than to have your kids plastered all over the internet…oh wait…that kind of sucks when you think about it. But never mind, that’s what you get.
Nicola is the backbone, the spirit and life of the family. Without her..well, I would just never make the bed! Happy birthday hun!

“Uh…dude…whatcha doin’?”

“My Mummy rocks!”
Hampton Court Wedding Photography – Emilie and James
Posted by: | CommentsEmilie and James (J, Jamie, Dude) .. now there’s a wedding I won’t forget. I worked in Hampton Court Palace and I still have my head. That’s memorable…the Bride was B-U-tiful…that’s memorble too. And its also the day that England took 8 wickets in the time it took to sign the register and start the Wedding Breakfast…not that I was noticing or anything. Sometimes a venue just plays to your strengths and Hampton Court Palace is one of them. Great contrasts of light, always a crowd and wonderful outside spaces. I now pray to the wedding gods to get the chance to go back!
Quite ironic…I don’t think I ever saw her NOT smile!
Emilie’s flip phone had a unique wallpaper
Yeah..I got a shoe shot here too…but flowers in a loo roll takes the cake!


Strange bridal ritual? No. Lesson in the horrors of white balance? Sorta. Emilie gurgling mouthwash? Spot on!

I only kept this in the blog…
So that I could put this one in (just so nobody accused me of being a beret wearing arty)
My ‘Just One’
I’m no expert but I reckon Emilie’s Dad was quite pleased his first look
No..honestly…8 wickets!
This photo…sponsored by Evian
Sorry..not much in the Church…any complaints directly to the Vicar (grrrrrr)

Off to the guillotine?
Lunch is served (the folks at HCP will get it)

I don’t who that dude is but he’s packin’ photo heat
Reinsert tongue, close mouth
I don’t get that same feeling as above…but then he’s probably pretty happy with that

Write your own story…just start with the hands far right!
All table plans should be reflectors
You’ll notice the quality of light change throughout the speeches…this is because they were between each course and it was nearly dark by the last one

Judge of all and knows the secrets of your childhood…therefore prepare for a butt whippin’. James’ brother Ben gets the house going. Strangely the robe was hired but the wig…well, the wig he already had. No explanation for this I’m afraid…at least not one he was willing to share.
Imagines what the wig is all about

I dance…with help from my little friends
Don’t feed the animals (strangely I think they’ll find that a compliment!)
Wicked band!
Back by Popular Demand (or rather by Rob demand) — Darren!
Health and Safety dictates that I inform folks that rice at 2 feet is quite HARD!


Catching the side angle
Actually I like this far better than my own


So I say “hey D, did you see Dad editing his speech, I got it..have a look” to which Darren says “you mean THIS ONE!”
Impeccable timing



By the way…there are more images from the wedding on Facebook. To view them, visit the Shootinghip Facebook Fan Page.
