Party time!

Daisy has found PARTY HATS. It's therefore Barneys birthday (according to Daisy). He's only 5 months 0ld, so a little way off yet, although this hasn't put Daisy off. All week I've therefore been wearing these silly hats to appease Daisy. No photos of me of course, but plenty of my little whipper snappers.

Daisy proudly sporting all three party hats....along with her 'fake' camera smile. She can barely stand still long enough as the second I hit the shutter she runs up to me to 'chimp' the camera back.



She's so tall for a two year old (three in Aug).....when did my little baby grow up? Thankfully Barney is still small and cuddly......won't last forever though!





The 'birthday boy' hit a turning point this week too. He's found the ability to roll over & squirm about on the floor. Tummy time also means more energy is expended and thus he's officially the hungriest baby ever. Banana is now top of his favourite food.

Wedding Photography Cheltenham - The Queens Hotel

Chris & Gemma - 27th June 2009

It was ages ago that I last took wedding photos at The Queens Hotel in Cheltenham. It's been refurbished subsequently and looks great inside, best of all though was the air conditioning in the wedding breakfast room.......wow what a hot & humid day it was!

Thankfully this warm weather meant guests could spill outside whilst I got chance to take a spin with the B&G in their American Classic Car (Plymouth Fury). I'm not sure of the date, but it was a close call between the car & the driver as to who was oldest. A very fine gent though; we had him putting the roof up, the roof down, roof up, down...you get the idea!

So without further ado, here are a few wedding photos followed by a slideshow below.

One number American Classic juxtaposed with Cheltenhams Regency architecture (although to be honest that bit you see there is actually new!)

"get in!"

Cruising the streets of Cheltenham - one wedding car, one married couple, one Cheltenham photographer and we're good to go!

Good spot Mr Davis - you know the back streets like the back of your hand!

Love this shot above. I really wanted a dry day so I could sit Chris & Gem on these steps in Cheltenhams regency park - phew!

Wedding flowers set against a blue backdrop - bingo!

The gentleman above (who was a wedding guest) played fine acoustic tunes throughout the reception drinks - what a star (and very good may I add).

A frame within a frame - ohh such simplicity.

More frames..... I must have been onto something!

he he.......digging this shot (above). Please note: lens distortion does apply here. I'm pretty sure her arms aren't actually that long.

Look out for the shot that followed this one in the slideshow - brilliant.

Urban meets greenery, plus a little 'touchy feely' - sweet.

It's gotta be said, a reception venue with this much light when it comes to dancing is off the hook. Bring it on. (I'm referring to the bloody great sky light for anyone missing my point here....although I guess the fact it's 8pm in June also helps!)

And a wedding slideshow........
