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.

Save the Wales

By Rob

This past weekend the family and I made our way to a small hamlet up an exceedingly small road north of Abergavenny.  The Abergavenny of Wales that is.  I was working with a few of my favourite videography friends, Sylvia and Neils from Ever After Video Productions.  My role was simple…be a photographer.  It was a challenge :)

Basically for 3 of the sessions of their wedding workshop weekend I was to do ‘my thing’ and the delegates had to work around me.  Sounds reasonable in principle but Sylvia and Neils worked with everyone loads so I had to take some time in between shots.  I suppose the good thing is that I was able to shoot some interesting behind the scenes photos of the workshop.  Of course it also meant I got to shoot some interesting couple shots.  What?  you say…including pictures on your website from a seminar?  How very dare you!!! Well, this was different.  I was responsible for setting it all up, my ideas, my spaces.  The ‘couple’ weren’t models but friends of Sylvia and Neils from Belgium.  So I got to deal with language issues as well.  So in light of that I reckon I get to post them.
