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.

Hayley and Brett – A Fabulous Surrey Wedding in Cobham and Painshill Park :

painshill park photographer He Said She Said   A TestimonialBrett says: “Just wanted to say ‘Wow’!!  The photo dvd is absolutely amazing – we really, really love it. Thank you so much! We love every single photo on it (in fact we love all of the 700 plus on the DVD Rom). Thank you for doing such a brilliant job. Cannot wait to see the album!”

Hayley says: “I just wanted to say thankyou so much for everything you have done for us – your images speak a thousand words and tell the story of the day just perfectly – i never really understood what you meant about ‘telling the story’ until i was able to look back at our day which was so beautifully described by you… it was all a blur of adrenalin to me so im so so pleased to be able to look back on it and remember all the bits that are so important.  They also ROCK!!!  every single one!”

Hayley and Brett,

I hope you are enjoying your extended honeymoon.  Just a quick note to say thanks for having us along to your Cobham and Painshill Park wedding a couple of weeks ago.  I loved Painshill and hope I get a chance to go back.  Thanks for selecting a church with a professional vicar…one who let’s us do our job.  Very refreshing.  I loved how the girls arrived in a vintage bus and that the Bridesmaids had individual dresses.  I loved how nervous Brett looked and the fact he had 4 Best Men.  I loved Hayley’s dress…we arrived at calling it pinstripe (when it clearly wasn’t).  I found it interesting that no one could every find Hayley before she got her dress on.  I’m sure she can teleport!  I loved how important your friends and family are to you.  I also loved that Tentipee.  What a great idea…or was it?  You’ll have to fill me in.  Here are a few more images from Hayley and Brett’s Painshill Park wedding in Cobham, Surrey.

Hey…its a new concept bourne out of necessity.  Someone once said necessity is the mother of invention.  So it goes for the next few weeks.  Basically I have to milk every minute out of the next few weeks.  I have 3 (1 down, 2 to go) weekends of double headers, I’ve been away for over a week, away for a bit more and its the school holidays.  Whoever thought “hey, let’s put the school holidays in the same time as the wedding photographers busiest season”.  How thoughtless.  The reality is its much easier to blog AFTER you complete the coverage.  Problem is I like the tease of it all…whilst its fresh in the mind.  But reality beckons, so there’s going to be a new idea.  Just One now becomes Fab 4 (and in this case Fab 4+1) for the next few weeks.  Who knows, maybe it’s a whole new direction?

painshill park wedding photographer 005 Painshill Park Wedding Photographer   Hayley and Brett   Fab 4 (+1)Now you know why its Plus 1.  Some may see a tent…some a teepee.  But for Hayley she can call this their “first night’s accomodation”.  A total surprise to her (apparently a huge camping fan) Brett had a mate sort it out.  I called him a smoothie, others just called him crazy!
