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.

Hampshire Wedding Photographer – Lynsey and Simon

By

Time to get back in the swing of it.  Friday weddings are always good fun.  Its like a Saturday wedding…only its on a Friday.  Pretty cool huh?  OK…seriously…it is really cool when you don’t have a Saturday wedding so you get a free weekend.  Although how free was my weekend?  Not very.  Playball (children’s ball skills), welcoming folks into St Peter’s Petersfield during the town Christmas festivities, portrait shoot in the afternoon, Christmas tree buying, church nativity practice (Evan, not me…but I bet I would make a great Angel), decorating the house and dinner at friends.  So much for a free weekend.

Lynsey and Simon were great fun.  They took everything in their stride…which was a good idea considering a few hiccups along the day (read all about it below).  They were also one of the statistics of clients that I didn’t meet until the day.  Sometimes it just doesn’t work out but as usual it really has no impact on the day.  I turn up…shoot what I see and there you go.  No amount of venue visits will set you up for a full venue, a rainy afternoon and a 30 minute delay…trust me.  Experience is what delivers results in that instance!

Enough waffle (with maple syrup)…on with the show!

 Hampshire Wedding Photographer   Lynsey and SimonWhat a funny noise it’s making!  It’s talking to us–all engines talk

 Hampshire Wedding Photographer   Lynsey and SimonOK..so what do you do?  Its 3 minutes to 2 (or 25 or 6 to 4)..you’ve arrived on time but there’s a hitch.  The organist, bless his key tinkling socks, has yet to materialise…rumour has it he was still in a holding cell thanks to a rather indignant display of frustration at ‘The Pitcher and Piano’…something about how organists get NO respect…any way back to the quiz.  Do you a) whip out your Nintendo DS and try to top the high score set by your 7 year old niece OR b)  give telephone banking a ring…not to make a payment or transfer any money…but just to say ‘hi’ OR c)  shout an expletive (thankfully only in the church car park) and then find some poor shlep to hump it back to your parents house to collect the bouquet YOU FORGOT….If you answered C you would be correct.  But then again, the organist was missing and you still had time to take the label off your shoe in the car.  It all worked out for the best really…aww bless!
