A favourite photograph ..........

I have been doing some editing to-day and came across the photograph below. I was photographing the wedding of Fay and Steve in London late last year and was travelling to the reception in the front of the bridal car with Fay and Steve. We turned right shortly after leaving St Sophia the Greek Orthodox Cathedral. We had travelled no more than a few hundred yards when we approached a Jewish Synagogue who were waiting for their bride to arrive, with our bridal car approaching in the slow traffic and stopping outside the Synagogue the poor boys in charge obviously thought that we were their car, they soon realised we were not but the looks on their faces were priceless. One of them eventually showed some emotion and gave us a wave.

A priceless moment captured ...........

Sarah and Steven 11/03/11 at Cripps Barn. Bibury - Cotswolds

Sarah and Steven were married at Cripps Barn, an isolated Cotswolds' Stone Barn in the countryside by Bibury. A fantastic day. I photographed Steven's brother's wedding a few years back and it was great to meet up with Chris and Katia again and the rest of the family. A great day was had by all. A huge thank you to Paul, the best man, and his ushers. A huge thank you to Linda, the bridesmaid - what can I say about Linda, for being just crazy, and for looking after Sarah so well, and for putting up with me. A huge thank you to all the staff at Cripps Barn. And a huge thank you to Sarah and Steven for letting me share their day with them.

And of course Katia for our reinactment of that wonderful dance we had a few years back at her wedding !!!!!!

Amber and Jon 24.02.11 Madinat Jumeirah Dubai

Amber and Jon ( Burty and Old Man ) ................ Were married at Jebel Ali Church and then on to the magnificent hotel and resort of "Madinat Jumeirah" . Amber's family flew in from Christchurch New Zealand just before the Earthquake hit the city. I hope they have arrived home safely and are with all their friends and family. Jon's family mostly flew in from England to be at the wedding. Both families and friends of Amber and Jon had a fantastic day and the evening's entertainment was superb. All so well organised by both the bride and groom down to the smallest detail. A big thank you to Jon's brother and best man, Sean, the ushers, Angela and the bridesmaids for all their help and support, and all the staff at "Madinat Jumeirah. " On Tuesday evening there was a 'Welcome' drinks reception held at the "Dubai Marina Yacht Club" and on the Wednesday the boys played golf over "Jumeirah Golf Estates" home of the Dubai World Championship, Sean was the overall winner on the day. I got nearest the pin!! A huge thrill and thank you to Jon and Amber for that. Peope who know me know I'm a bit of a golf addict.

A final thank you to Amber and Jon for letting me share their day with them.

There is also a dreadful rumour that I had my trousers off and was in the sea up to my what's its to get a photograph of the bridal party on the beach...... not too sure how this started !!!!!

Zoe and Owen at St Adrian's and Archerfield 29/01/11

Zoe and Owen were married in St Adrian's in Gullane. Leaving from the Marine Villa at Archerfield for the church service at 12.30 pm. It was a perfect day, cold but bright, fantastic light for photography, but then the haar came in from the sea, making it an even colder day, which made everyone even more determined to have a fabulous day. Owen's family travelled over from Ireland, Zoe's close family from south of the border. Both families enjoyed them selves enormously. The reception was held in the Clubhouse at Archerfield, a magnificent venue. A big thank you to Frances and all the staff at Archerfield, to Brian and his ushers for all their help and to Kate and the bridesmaids.

As usual a few photographs from the day
