Laurie and Chris, PWS

I recently had lunch with Laurie and Chris who will be getting married in August this year. We dined in the same place where their ceremony will be held - the very nice Cedar House Hotel in Cobham.

After a very tasty meal, we wandered around the location, and then across to the river and nearby fields for their pre-wedding shoot. They were naturals, and needed little direction at all! Good on you, guys ...

Here are some shots from the shoot:

Across the road from Cedar House Hotel ...
Chris looking somewhat cool ...
... and no matter how hard you try, you just HAVE to blow the photographer a kiss every now and then!
... and don't they pull off the "moody" look well !?
Looking forward to August guys! Have a great holiday next week ...

The Wedding of Jayne & James

Well, finally, here are some images from Jayne and James' wedding from a few weeks ago. Much has happened since then, including several shoots which I am hoping to post at some point!

Many of you know that I was due to fly out to the USA to see some very good friends of mine, Tasha and Kristi, in Minneapolis - unfortunately I put my back out when I was in Florence and was declared unfit to travel :( Alas, I had to forego the trip ...

However, after many trips to a wonderful chiropractor, Louise, at Team Health in Windsor, I am well on the road to recovery. In fact, it was Louise who helped me through Jayne and James' wedding with a lot of work beforehand, and a special support belt on the day.

But, enough of my aches and pains, on to the wedding...

It was a gloriously sunny day, and I headed down to Bosham ('bozzum' or 'bosh-um' i never did work out) with my good friend, and 2nd shooter for the day, Nicky. The mood when we arrived was nothing short of spectacular ... everybody was sooo laid back and relaxed, you would have thought that it was the day AFTER the wedding! What a wonderful way to start the day.
After a cheeky cream tea, Nicky and I headed out to do a quick recce of the surrounding area - now, check this out for a view from your front garden:

There was a causeway in the middle of all that which you can take to cross over when the tide is out, and when the water comes in it's all just as picturesque:

Even though we had a nice sunny day, the wind was challenging to say the least - hair and skirts everywhere ... we had to dive for cover at every opportunity, but still managed some great images. Here are Jayne and James looking lovely as ever:

Given that we were down by the coast, there were plenty of boats and sailing paraphernalia around so I tried to be a bit arty:

Here's Jayne with mum and dad:

... and finally, what would a wedding be without a great best man - and James had TWO. Their speech was an absolute classic! Here they are with their gorgeous girlfriends:


Another enjoyable wedding, despite the challenge of the wicked windy weather!
