I often get clients who are really into photography.  But I knew this one would be different.  He’s a cameraphile and she…well, she just likes pretty pictures.  So finding the balance was always going to be the end goal.  I reckon that we managed it.  After all, for a lot of the day its straight down the line.  I do like to stretch things when I get the chance but not on everything.

Darren (or Dazza as Nicola likes to call him)…well, we did share a moment in the car.  I remembered a touching story (not really that touching) about a trip he made to Newquay where him and his mates played Boston’s ‘More Than a Feeling’ on level 11 for the entire trip.  I love Boston so I downloaded it onto my iPhone, told him to look away as I cue’d it up…something special just for him.  He was well chuffed and said “I should make a tape for you of all the songs I like that I reckon you’ll like”.  Silence fell upon the car.  How exactly do you reply to that.  Like yes, I buy you dinner and yes I’ve even shared a bed in a £9 travelodge when you *coughs* say you forgot your PJs and yes I downloaded ‘More than a Feeling’…but dude…don’t get the wrong idea!  I’m a happily married man…

Before I turn you over to the photos I would like to quickly mention Simone from Dimples Events.  I won’t lie to you…some wedding organisers deserve a padded cell.  Thankfully Simone isn’t one of them.  I really, really enjoyed working with them and they ensured everything ran smoothly.  A bonus for sure!

No it ain’t crooked…its called character

Hey look..its my Just One.  Why not pop on over and become a fan.  You know you want to…all the cool kids are doing it!

Why do women ALWAYS put the table butterflies in their…well…you know?

A scene from Full Metal Photography:  “You want a silhouette…you pick the wrong camera with too much dust…so what do you do..tell me boy…WHAT DO YOU DO!” “Sir, yes, sir…make it arty, add 3 textures and 5 filters and hope no one notices” “Damn straight Private…now drop and give me 20!”

Aww…bless.  Tissue please.

I have no idea…but by the end of listening to this table laugh their backsides off (no really, all there, laid out on the floor), I was in stitches as well

…the moment she realised that her special toast, touching and heartfelt, seemed to lack the “and by the way, Sarkis (the groom’s brother and best man and no haired diva) are engaged” that everyone was waiting for

Stuff…no one said you had to like it

You can leave your tent on
