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.

On the day, despite their apparent calm, I’m sure just a little bit of them was thinking “geez…why has the last few Aprils been so great and this one a bit rubbish?”  I imagine that by the end of the second day of married life they probably were thanking their lucky stars for the weather they actually did get.  I sit here today (Monday) after what I can only describe as Rainaggeddon.  Goodness me.

Claire and Mark took it all in their stride.  A little bit of inside, a little bit of outside.  We had it all.  The one stop shop of Silchester House provided a fantastic location for what I’m sure they will never forget.  A day I was proud to be a part of.

There are even more images on my Facebook Business Page.  You’ll find a link to that at the end of this post.  So enjoy this and look for more at the end.

Great day out…although I reckon Evan enjoyed the Lego shop at the end best.  Who knows. (all taken with a Panasonic GF1 20mm)

My 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…

I love this ‘Just One’ because of a few reasons.  First, because Darren (my trusty sidekick, Tonto to my Lone Ranger, Toto to my Dorothy, Louise to my Thelma) almost dared me to try it.  We had just lit a ‘in the snow’ portrait and he said “its all ready to go…go for it”.  I debated and decided ‘hell yeah…”  I love it because it actually came off and I love it because it fuels the debate of whether Michael Jackson really is dead!  (see bottom right)

I 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!

Got Something to Say? –

Another 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.
