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.

Maria and Andy at Tithe Barn

Posted by: Rob | Comments (0)

Before we jump to the slideshow let’s indulge in a bit of feedback.  I get feedback all the time, I don’t always choose to share it.  Sometimes I just need an opportunity and this was timely given that I wanted to post a link to Maria and Andy’s slideshow.  So allow me to toot my own horn.

Andy and I wanted to say a huge thank you for the photos and DVD we arrived home to yesterday.  To say we were pleased is an understatement.  The photos are absolutely amazing; you really did capture the day beautifully – thank you so much!!

So many people have commented on the photos and they all think they are fantastic – we can only agree.  We would both recommend you to anyone who is looking for beautiful photos and memories to cherish!

We more than liked them; they truly are amazing!!!  Andy and I both got quite emotional looking at them all.

As I said on the 10th, you are a legend!!!

Well…it IS true.  I am a legend.  Evan thinks I’m the greatest footballer ever.  But I don’t think that matters for much on a wedding day.

Its all anonymous this week.  So short, sweet and to the point.  Sensitivity issues prevent me from showing faces but it doesn’t stop me from being creative.

Da Do Run Run Run Da Do Run Run

Since 2006 (apart from a break last year…she was pregnant, give the girl a break) Nicola has taken part in the Great South Run.  Our interest in our chose charity is very personal.  Many years ago, in a galaxy…OK Surrey…our brother-in-law, Nicola’s sister’s husband, was diagnosed with Leukaemia.  First…you can always spot someone who knows something about the leukaemia because they can actually spell the damn condition.  But aside from that it was a terrible few years for everyone.  Him, his family, our family, his wife and his one year old son.  Under the care and guidance of Royal Marsden Cancer Hospital Malcolm made a full recovery.  He’s been on the all clear status for over 5 years now.  Amazing really considering the situation.

So…why do I mention it…well, you’ve probably already guessed why.  Money…cash…moola…spare change.  If all of my blog stalkers (Helen, Roz, the PTA) donated say…£3, we’d be doing something great.  So I encourage to take a moment and follow the link below to Nicola’s Just Giving site.

Donate Now to Nicola’ Just Giving Site in support of Royal Marsden Cancer Hospital

BTW…she ran it this year in a personal best of 1:23:00.  Her first run was 1:23:37.  So 3 years and another baby did little to slow her down!

Video Workshop

Posted by: Rob | Comments (0)

This will probably really grate some of my photographer colleagues, but I’m going to plug a wee video workshop run by my good friends Sylvia and Niels from Ever After Video Productions.  Why?  Well, we all know that videographers are CRAZY.  They’re impossible to work with and leave tripods laying around all over the place.  WELL….not all of them.  In fact, everyone you find on my list of great wedding suppliers are all top notch.  So wouldn’t it be great if there were mo better videos (sorry Spike).  So I decided if you can’t beat’em, join’em.  So next February, in the foothills of the Black Mountains I’ll be the resident photographer and general bad guy (oh yes, videographers think the same things about us as we do about them) and join in the ‘education’.  No, not as a videographer, but as a photographer and how videographers can work well with photographers…in all honesty, I’m pretty easy to work with.  So, if by participating I open the door to a few new videographers who have more respect of the still framed friends I reckon I will have acheived my goal.
