Michelle & Simons Wedding

Its Snowing!!!!!! good if you dont have to work, or if your a snowman, which i did turn into by the way! Michelle and Simons day was all white….i must admit i was a little worried when i started out and i was sliding all over! but all went well, Michelles family and friends really looked after me and to say Michelle was 18 wks pregnant i wouldnt have realised…unfortunatley it started raining too so it was difficult to make the best of outside, but other than being cold our new couple looked happy as could be
there daughter daisy was sooo sweet, ( apparently not all the time!) see you soon guys!

Charlotte and Tony

Well Christmas was just out the way, and before i had time for the mince pie to settle and i had the lovely Charlotte and Tony’s wedding at Aston Hall, a really nice place in sheffield, Well the weather was just awful and cold and rainy! Luckily Aston hall is smallish but the rooms are really nice, the tang suite had a nice victorian bath in which charlotte kindly got in (with her dress on!)  and we took some nice pix, i didnt have a lot of time between wedding and meal so i had to be quick but all went well without much of a hiccup!  good luck guys!

Mark and Fiona’s Wedding Rufford Abbey

Mark and Fi’s wedding day was at rufford abbey in notts, (ive done a couple there now, and i love working with yvonne the wedding organiser, shes really helpful!) Fiona looked lovely and it was a nice relaxed day, Marks just got a great friendly way about him, always polite and always smiling,  he was pleased he didnt get attacked by the ducks this visit,  although it would have made a good piccy! hope to see you again!

Ed and Sarah’s Wedding

Well ed and sarah own the maddest cats and fish ive ever seen, the cats tried to destroy my new shoes! From the off i liked ed and sarah, they were just so easy to get on with as with mark and fi, theres no fine tuning or getting used to, there just familiar from the off.

There  a nice looking couple not posy but just right, really easy to work with and just worked with me, prestwold hall is a beautiful location in loughborough, just the right size nice grounds its own church in the grounds too, its nice to take away the bride and groom for a few pix not so they only buy my photos, as i give them all i take anyway, but its important because they can relax a little and be together as wedding days tend to be a bit hectic!  i hope you keep in touch guys!

Matt and Joanne

Well matt and joanne bless them, they came round to meet me while i was on medication and i could hardly talk! i thought they’d be put off but no they booked thanks!

They had a great day at  carnfield hall in alfreton with a marquee, i loved the field at the side it looked like africa ( ok well ive never been but ..just bear with me….)  one of the ushers was a dad of one of my sons friends so it was nice to see a familiar face. be happy guys!

Jason & Sally’s Wedding

Today, i woke and the weather was awful!!! it was a Wednesday, Jason and Sally were both getting ready at Centre Parcs in Mansfield, and the Reception at Rufford Abbey.

It didnt seem to want to stop raining!. I met Sallys mom and Dad and jasons mom first, who were great, i had a chat and a cuppa before getting to work, then i met Jason along with their
boys, Sam Josh and Ben (Sorry William!!! please see below comment*), Sam unfortunately had broken his leg badly a few weeks earlier!  it was nice and relaxed and the rain was stopping!

Then “drumroll” the bride….. Well i’d been asked , have u met sally before? “no” i replied, ahhh well your in for a treat…. i was intrigued…
Sally was running a little late and was accompanied by Jasons daughter Emily,  As soon as we met, she made me laugh, i knew i was in for a different day!

After we got off to Rufford, (i was trying to get used to my new car too…) we took a few shots with Sallys Dad Paul, and Emily, I met 2 of the best ladies from a venue yet, Normally photographers dont seem to be very popular with venues/registrars/vicars…etc! its not me honest!

But the girls at rufford abbey were lovely and helpful!

the ceremony went well and we all trundled off to take some more piccys, Throughout the day, i got the feeling that these 2 hadnt had things 100% easy, Second timers and all that, and i learnt they hadnt, but was was lovely was all the kids got a long famously, and Jason and Sally really appreciated each other, they had real fun but they knew through life/mistakes whatever they were very much in love and it was nice to be a part of.

Talk about laugh though, i dont think ive ever done a photo of a couple “spanking” each other before, i dont think i will again!

We spoke on the phone today, and i love it when you can have a laugh a cry and deep conversation all in one, ( all you people who are thinking of phoning, i wont be too deep ‘onest!)
but its nice when you connect with people, and you understand why they are who they are ( if that makes sense?)

All i’d like to say is thanks Guys, i certainley wont forget your day in a hurry!!! speak soon ….. (and thanks for the lovely comment below!!!, Tracey is at this time laughing her head off that someone thinks im cute!!!!!!!!!!!!!)

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Jade & Richard’s Wedding

I had the pleasure of photographing Jades Moms Wendy wedding a few years ago,  and it was great to get to photograph Jades day too! It’s nice on weddings where youve been recommended or you know the people, sure theres as much pressure, sometimes moreso, but its nice when they know how you work!

Jade and Richard got married at a venue called the Izaak walton hotel,  in  derbyshire, really nice and relaxed, It was fun to see Jades family again too.
heres a few piccys of the day. take care guys and speak soon!

Moni and Sachin’s Wedding

Well, South Croyden was a long way away from mansfield!  traffic was a nightmare, it was one of them weddings, where you knew nothing was going to be easy!

I’d met Moni before she’d been recommended by another couple i’d photographed a few years ago, and we met in bham she is a lovely lady, real fun. It was to be an Indian wedding,
ive done them before,  but this was all indoor…

As a wedding photographer your constantly challenged by things, some wedding are easier than others, but i dont mind a challenge!
Hard parts were as it was indoor, lightings a problem, but it was soon sorted you just find a plan and work with it, Sachin Moni’s hubby, was a really nice guy i felt really at ease with him even though we just met you just kind of get a feel for people. bless him he looked terrified at one point!

Also moni’s brother, JK one of the nicest people ive met, genuine kind and really helpful, and a mad james bond fan!
 

Ive rarely been looked after as well as Moni and Sachin looked after me, im really thankful of that……

Hopefully keep in touch!

David and Gemma

Well now, this was a special wedding for me, Many years ago i worked with Dave (he had just left school i think) but  we always had fun he was a real great bloke.
Sadly he lost both his parents a few years ago, and we saw each other in a restaurant, and thats where i was introduced to Gem.

There a really nice couple, and when Dave asked me to do his photos i felt really priveliged, i know it sounds corny but its true, Good luck to you both, and keep in touch!
(Wedding was at Colwick hall, Nottinghamshire.)
