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.

Saturday starts off the first of the summer weather weddings of 2010.  The sky was crystal clear and the sun was warm — OK, not Dubai warm, but warm all the same.  It was a day to make for a new venue with some happy clients.  Clare and Nick booked me over a year ago and in that time managed to plan a wedding and much to their surprise, have a baby as well.  Another Holly and similar to my Holly, they also refer to her as ‘The Dolly” and “Holly Dolly”.  Here I thought we were unique :)  The church in Bletchworth was actually the first church in Four Weddings and a Funeral.  Don’t believe everything you see in the movies as Charles and Charlotte reversed back down the M40 in the movie but the church is near Reigate.  Go figure.  Sadly we weren’t allowed to do much in the church…vicars rules.  What a waste really.  She did mention that you shouldn’t take pictures during a church service to which I had to laugh and think…Diana and Charles.  Get a grip!  There you go…

Hartsfield Manor hosted the reception and evening party.  Luckily we were allowed to shoot there (I would have been very bored otherwise huh).  I quite enjoyed it and hope to get back again sometime soon.  After all it does have the biggest round table I have ever seen (more later).  Enough rambling…you never read it anyway.

Sunshine didn’t stop yesterday being a great day.  Sure everyone was a bit disappointed with the cloudless sky and warm sun but they all put it behind them to make it a great day for Clare and Nick.  Such is the British stiff upper lip.

Today’s Just One is a riddle.  I knew the second I walked up the path to their house that the porthole window was going to be a feature.  I found the flowers and photojournalistically placed them in it :)  I took the first shot and realised that the light though the blinds made a strange pattern….nope, don’t like that, close the curtains.  Then I get back to Shootinghip HQ (kind of like the Batcave without the steel abs suit) and thought “gee whizz Batman, those line are really interesting”.  I then realised that “this town needs an enema” (perhaps one of the best lines ever delivered by Jack…apart from “Here’s Johnny!”) and went with the lines.  Oh the irony.
