Monkeying around at a wedding – Coombe Lodge, Blagdon

Today I was privileged to photograph a visit by the Chief of the General Staff, General Sir Nicholas Carter KCB, CBE, DSO, ADC Gen. to Force Troops HQ in Wiltshire. Fun fact of the day… ‘CGS’ and I share the same birthday!

I’ve now been awake all night frantically trying to rebuild my website and email on a new server – exhausted and angry. Then there was a knock at the door… a courier… As if they somehow knew I needed a pick-me-up, my wonderful clients Anna & Rich had sent me a gorgeous box of Brownies!…

I’m delighted to have received these lovely words from such a great couple, following their West Wales wedding on Saturday. Here they are in the drawing room of the beautiful National Trust property Llanerchaeron. “Hi Rich, Thanks again for all your hard work on Saturday. The way you organised everyone was terrific and your communication…

On a frightfully cold night I made a little hot circle of lurve with these two at Coombe Lodge, Blagdon. The beautiful archway of fairy lights was too much of a draw, and I managed to line up on of the little lights over Leonie & Rich, giving them this beautiful halo of light.

Yesterday I took my new Nikon F2 film camera on a journey in to the woods, to compare and test it against my digital D750’s. I’m going to start using film at some weddings and I wanted to ensure consistency. It’ll be a week or so before the prints and scans are back with me…

Magda & Ben’s fantastic wedding at Homewood Park near Bath was made even more awesome after Ben’s rendition of Beyoncé’s ‘all the single ladies’, following their first dance! He then grabbed his new Grandmother and threw some shapes with her in his arms. Just fantastic fun!
