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.

Archive for June, 2011

Day of two of my ultra fast blog entries.  Still battling through the backlog so excuse my lack of verbage.  Suffice to say that ‘its all good’ on this one.  Hard to beat a military wedding.  The uniforms (one for the ladies), the swords (one for the men), the fact that your local pothole hasn’t been fixed because the groom crashed a helicopter to the tune of £1 million quid.  Hey, but what’s a helicopter between friends.

Starting in Oxshott I found myself in Grayshott.  Despite the ‘shotts’ they are quite a distance from each other.  Not that this matters.  What I was mentioning Grayshott for was that 15 years ago I live within a stone’s throw of the church that Naomi and Gary were married.  It was like a wee homecoming.  Darren got to go to the pub though :(

As is standard, you’ll find a link to more images and a way to get 20% off reprints AFTER these lovely images.  Go on!

Now is the time to want to see more.  So do that by going to my Facebook Business Page and the gallery for Naomi and Gary’s Surrey Wedding Photography.  Feel free to tag yourself.  Facebook says you have to ‘Like’ my page first.  Damn them :)

Second, if you want to be notified when the entire gallery goes live and get a 20% discount code, email me!

FWIW, this wedding was full of amazing suppliers!

The flowers were by the uber talented and amazingly beautiful Emma Lappin

The catering was by one of the finest in the land.  The lovely folks at Jacaranda Catering.

The band was awesome and they were the electric Supercharger

I’m afraid that the next few blog entries will be image rich (which, when you think about it makes sense).  Conversely it won’t be word rich.  I’ve got buckets to get through with three weddings last weekend, a portrait, an engagement, Evan’s Sports Day and two more weddings this weekend.  So allow me a bit of brevity on the literary front.  In fact, let’s pretend its a tweet.\

Naomi and Gary – Fab 4

Posted by: | Comments (0)

London, Paris, Milan.  Oxshott, Grayshott, Haslemere.  No difference really.

Here’s a quick Fab 4 from yesterday’s Surrey wedding of Naomi and Gary.   I don’t really have any time to say anything with a meeting imminent.  I will say that for 9 hours…they just flew by!

I’m full of the bingo calls.  Just One, Fab Four and for one day only…Thrifty Three.  Mine is not a mind to be reasoned.  Today’s TT comes all from the prep.  Why?  Because a) they are the first three I came across being the first part of the day b) it is one of my favourite parts of the day because you can be calculated, creative and insightful and c) its my party and I’ll cry if I want to!

That said, here are a Thrifty Three from Anthrea and Miles’ Avington Park wedding in the rolling hills of Hampshire.
