The Edgeworths - Portrait Session 8th Feb '08

I took some photos with this family just over a year ago and with a new addition I was back for more. This time in their new home... which was super.

It's set to be a busy weekend with three portrait session in the diary... thankfully the weather is set to be fine, so that's great news. Oddly enough they're all within 300 meters of each others homes too - how does that happen? Looks like I'll know 'The Park' area pretty well soon.

Little Joseph has gotten much more nimble than when I last saw him. He was such a cutie (if boys can be cute) playing in the shed and wearing his little hardhat.

George is just 11 weeks old, so not dashing about as yet. Wait till next year when I hook up again... I bet he'll have more of a spring in his stride then though.

Bubbles later became order of the day, which delighted mum as much as Joey.

Jason & Karen's Wedding - 2nd Feb '08 - Friars Court, Clanfield

Karen was a cool customer, the kind that just goes with the flow... I like this! I hadn't met Jason before, but soon got the measure of him during the best mans speech which was very entertaining.

4.30pm is very late for a ceremony, especially in February, so light wasn't on my side. This however was soon overlooked when I found the superb marquee, which although dark, was very atmospheric - beautiful.

Here are a few of my favourites from the day.

Friars Court (above) well lit up and the beautiful marquee (below) pre party people.

Gill here was taking photos all night - she was great fun.

Dance floor lighting is somewhat hit and miss, as beams of light splash around all over the shop. When you hit it right though the results are real zippy!

I quite like this photo above (1) for the great light and (2) for the random guy walking past with a beer in his hand.

The Martells - Portrait Session 30th Jan '08

This week I had the pleasure of photographing the Martells, whom Charles is well know in the cheese world for making Stinking Bishop. A name you may have heard of as it was more recently made famous in the Wallace and Grommet film The Curse of the Were-Rabbit

Here are just a few from the selection taken.

Wedding canvas prints

It's sweet to see your beautiful photos presented well, and the option of a canvas makes a great choice. Amy and Gavin chose this photo to have printed 75cm x 45cm and it looks super. Here it is up on my wall, before they come and collect it this evening.

Project sky

What a fab day it's been today... I believe the term the weather man used in fact was 'spring like'. I watched a great sunset as I drove along the M4, but there was little chance of me actually stopping to take a photo. Still, it wouldn't have fitted in 'Project Sky' had I not have taken it from my bedroom window anyway.

None the less, I remembered these I took yesterday and interestingly (or so I think) look how it changes just 30mins later from the earlier photo. Cool huh?

6.10pm Sat 26th Jan 08

6.40pm Sat 26th Jan 08

We've been to see the queen

(well, just to Windsor actually.... Liz wasn't in!)

It's nice to catch up with friends so today the Davis' had a trip to Windsor for some social time with my old mate Dix, his wife Gillian and their new addition to the family. We hadn't seen Fin as yet (although plenty of photos) so it was great to meet him in person, and of course I took some photos.

Dix (or Nick as he's correctly known) is surprisingly photogenic. This was a sweet little grab shot on the move as we walked around Windsor. The ladies (& Fin) 'bugabood' behind.

Fin is often having his photo taken and has adopted the typical 'grab that camera' style I see so often.

Ok, so a cute shot, or two, of Daisy just have to sneak in.

It's amazing how quickly time moves on from our younger, care free days. Almost 3 years ago to the day, Nick & I were knee deep in fresh powder in the Alps, talking sex, surf and sand...... ohh how times change.

Some things never change though.. I was still taking photos!
