Gloucestershire Wedding Photography - Hucclecote Methodist Church / Stonehouse Court Hotel

Steven and Sarah - 20th Sept 2008

Finally again some great weather...wahooo! What a day for a wedding.

Now I've seen a few late brides but Sarah really took this to a new level for her wedding day - almost an hour...go girl! Ok, so it wasn't exactly her fault as the car broke down right outside her house before they'd even left - doh. Still, it was soon all back on track and everyone waited very patiently considering.

Thankfully after they left the church their vintage car did manage to get them to Stonehouse Court Hotel - although I bet a few people had their concerns. A few drinks on the lawn followed, although time was a little short so we had to squeeze in what we could. None the less we captured some fab late afternoon light and had a super session (if only 11mins long...although that's actually pretty good lately) before the wedding breakfast commenced.

I love this photo above, simple and great in black and white.

Stonehouse Court Hotel for the wedding reception

We had great evening light for the wedding couple portraits.

Family Portrait Photography Cheltenham

Late last week I headed out locally for a family portrait session. We had some fine weather which always helps and got some great results. Zoe & Nico's children are great fun and I must confess to running around with them far too much for a 32 year old!

Here is a small selection for the 80+ photos taken in the hour we had together.

I also received a few words from Zoe today which I've included beneath.

Hi. I've just seen them, they're fantastic. Thanks so much for making it such an enjoyable afternoon, too, it was really good fun. It's going to be so hard to narrow them down. Zoe

Where does my web traffic come from?

Without getting tecchie (as I don't really understand myself) but I get this little source of info which shows where my blog gets hits from. By hits I mean stuff like your IP address, search words you type into Google, popular pages you view and this sweet little feature called a 'Recent Visitor Map'.

It only really entertains me for a couple of minutes, but it's always fun to see where the traffic comes from. This week I noticed PERU. Funnily enough one of my recent wedding couples are trekking up Matchu Picchu for their honeymoon (that'll be you then Emma & Ian). So does the Sherpa set up camp then produce an apple ibook from his rucksak with GPS card for internet access - that'd be amazing. LOL!

But who's that in New Zealand - can I come and visit please if you live there?

A little more Onelight

So another quick evening of experimental photography - this time joined by my friend Dave. Not, with two people, one ends up the guinea pig.....sometimes me, sometimes Dave. Neither wishing to be in front of the camera, but both prepared to look fools in the pursuit of photographic perfection. 

Another quick blast at the BMX park.  

(Dave above, me below)  I went for the option of not looking at the camera: 1) because I blink all the time, and 2) I look stupid whatever expression I try to pull!  Good job I generally take photos rather than need to pose for them.
