Legoland
Posted by: | CommentsGreat day out…although I reckon Evan enjoyed the Lego shop at the end best. Who knows. (all taken with a Panasonic GF1 20mm)
Speaking of Tithe Barn…
Posted by: | CommentsMy wacky and uber talented Belgian videographer friends have just posted Maria and Andy’s preview slideshow on their blog. Perhaps it will get you in the mood considering I’m back there again tomorrow.
Click the link for one of the UK’s finest wedding videographers in Ever After Video Productions at Tithe Barn, Ditcham.
To remind you…
Hampshire Wedding Photography – Catherine and James, Lainston House
Posted by: | CommentsI do hope that everyone who books Lainston House decides to go for the magnificent Larry…toastmaster extraordinarre! I wish he could come to all my weddings (of course apart from those at The Elvetham where of course Eric, the other toastmaster extraordinarre hangs). Toastmasters aside Saturday was a wet affair. From all accounts its true of just about every wedding vaguely in the south. I discovered a hole in the bottom of shoe and spent the entire day with a wet foot. Regardless it was still a laugh getting through it all…the traffic, the weather…no matter because it was all about Catherine and James. Both a little camera shy and opted for perhaps the least amount of B&G shots ever…as in one. So off we go!
Most people write reminder messages on their hands…but sometimes you gotta do what you gotta do
These things…they keep happening. Sorta like crop circles.
Hey Mum…isn’t she lovely! (its an in joke between me and her)
XXXXXX (the OOOOO came later)
Barefoot bride
WB gives its two fingers to me…but I like it
I do love the optimism…sadly the small gap in the forecast on the BBC weather site never materialised
My Just One (do check it out)
Patience
Being a mate, the best man offered to stand in just in case
When reversing be sure to use your choir view mirror
St Peter’s RC in Winchester. Awesome, lovely and parking to boot!
In a church that big you can get around a bit and not disturb anyone
+2 (accidentally) EC can sometimes lead to something more interesting
It really IS all around
This was just the best room ever to work in as a photographer…no, honest!
Make that 2…I forced them to stop for this. Sadly I couldn’t convince the staff to shuffle so I suppose she just needed to be part of the story
Kake (sic) — IOW, it was staged
“Choir view mirror…brilliant!”
It was one of those receiving lines that was great for guests and not so for the family (photographically speaking)
I kept asking myself “yes…but WHEN?”
Lovely!
At least we’ve proved he didn’t wing it

Hampshire Wedding Photography – Just One – Anne and Clyde
Posted by: | CommentsAnother visit to Tithe Barn yesterday. Anne and Clyde were keen to let me try new things…so I did. So here I’m trying something a little different in processing and setup. I learned a few things NOT to do on this but in the end I thought it was worth posting…if only to satisfy the curiosity of the subjects!
I’ve got another wedding today so look out for a few blog posts starting tomorrow lunchtime.

Pembrokeshire Wedding Photography – Helen and Ben
Posted by: | CommentsA week and a bit late on this one. Wales was wonderful, if not a little wet. We did have sunshine everyday…well, everyday after 2:00pm. Strange climate. But ultimately we had a great time as a family. I won’t jibber for long or I’ll give it all away. Back in a mo!
Some might think I blew the focus here…but in fact this is what I wanted (I have others). The river was so much a part of Helen’s life that it seemed worth it to work it in.
Itsy bitsy teeny weeny purple polka dot … ironing board?
Awww…bless, the bride plays with THE cutest baby ever. Hey…wait a minute…that’s MY BABY!
Pleased I’d say
I tried so hard to work both in the photo…the angle wasn’t right but its enough
A dad, a speech, a river (or is that an estuary)
Some bright spark might ask “why take a shot of the bridesmaids getting gifts as a reflection in clock face”….well, as it was a staged experience set up by the video chap and I really didn’t want to appear as a guest star so I looked for other ways to document. So…there you go.
Ring a round of roses but not a tissue in sight
Not entirely sure the legs suit him TBH
The firestorm of final touches whilst I take refuge…in the loo
Unlike Obama, Ben resisted the temptation!
Luckily the window was up as to not disturb the hair
With the mild disruption due to a rather subdued rendition of ‘Shine Jesus Shine’ I was able to sneak around the corner…
Get used to that look on Ben’s face…in literature we call that foreshadowing
A little HDR and a river/estuary (this is here mostly for Helen)
Probably the best formal I’ve ever taken!
Sadly this is what I will be forced to give them
What a week of rain will do
Hiring a table hypnotist seemed such a good idea at the time
Oh yes…the speeches timing raffle pot. Who knew both the Bride and the Chief Bridemaid would get their oar in as well!
A moments peace…this is Laura and Leigh…and they ARE the reason I found myself in west Wales. I shot their wedding in 2007.
One of my favourite cake cutting shots
Damn Ben…not AGAIN!
Suddenly I’m reminded that women often marry men that remind them of their father. Proof there is SOME truth in old wive’s tales
With a little practice I reckon Helen could do it too!
The look…its contagious
Fading light and lots of champagne…its time for the Keogh family thumbs up photo
Yes…your eyes do not deceive. That is a lovely young lady doing a one handed press up in the middle of the dance floor. Beats the heck out of me?
From one armed press ups to two handed boogie

Ladies…Earn Brownie Points
Posted by: | CommentsTonight, whilst having a spot of tea and wondering what can you engage your man in conversation that doesn’t include Barack Obama or forthcoming nuptuals try this.
“You know honey what I love most about Formula 1″
(expect a glazed but amazed look)
“What’s that dear?”
“Its the fact that every race is 3 races in one. You got the result on the day, the result that emerges a bit later on (sometimes twice in one week) and the result that is finally declared once the lawyers hash it out in the courtroom. Great drama that!”
At this point he’s like butter in you hands (is that an expression?).
It seems clear to me that the FIA simply hate Lewis Hamilton. They were totally miffed that with a bad car he still came third. So, what is one to do…change the result to suit Bernie and the boys. Besides, their beloved Ferrari didn’t do diddly! Link here
Signed, Bitter in Liss
