It's been quite a week dear reader, I'm finally once again up to date with editing which these days does not happen very often.

Last week I shot a lovely wedding at the Bannatyne Hotel in Darlington with some super cool clients who loved to pose!  and on Saturday I was down on the beach at Tynemouth all day shooting mini sessions aplenty.

I know you'll want to see some photographs and who am I to disappoint...

and ooh look, I managed to fit in a photo of my Looby on the beach and some couples sessions I've shot as well, mini sessions aren't just for little people you know, they're for grown up families and couples and couples with their pet families, mini sessions really are for everyone!

If you would like to speak to me about shooting your wedding or portraits please contact me through my website, email or you can check up on the very latest on my Facebook Business Page

Denise and Iains wedding - Bannatyne Hotel - Darlington

Last Friday I was delighted to be present at the small and informal wedding of Iain and Denise at the Gorgeous Bannatyne Hotel in Darlington





Denise looked gorgeous in pink.





Iain looked handsome in his suit.




yes it's a ring shot!



beautiful flowers



Iain and Denises West Highland Terriers lead them down the aisle.

Isn't Denise beautiful?



The gorgeous couple

Denise and Iain, thank you so much for letting me share in your special day, I hope you enjoy Paris and can't wait to catch up with you both when you get back from Honeymoon.

Emma and Mark got Married at Headlam Hall

Headlam Hall is seriously one of my most favourite places to shoot, it's gorgeous, one of the most gorgeous places I know of, if you're planning your wedding you really couldn't pick a more fabulous place with the nicest most attentive staff I've encountered for a while, Martin the manager looks after the brides with the ultimate care and attention and helps make sure that the day goes by without the teeniest hitch.

So I have atleast 60 favourites from this small wedding I shot there yesterday and I really didn't want to share just the couple shots as I have been doing of late, I thought I might share some of the earlier parts of the day and highlights so here you go :-




Emma's gown was designed by Benjamin Jacobs and so completely gorgeous it just about made me gasp.



a helping hand from mum to do up all the delicate buttoning on the back of the dress.



sharing a moment of delight with mum



Isn't she gorgeous



to compliment such an amazing dress Emmas delectable taste chose a simply rose posy to carry down the isle



Mark, the dashing groom getting a helping hand from his son to pop that pesky buttonhole on.



A relaxed portrait.



Mark watches his beautiful bride make the journey down the isle with her dad.



After some short formal groups I escorted the couple away for their bride and groom alone time and rain was threatening heavily as you can see from this incredibly moody shot, let me tell you that this size does this photograph no justice, try it on a 4 ft canvas and take a second look, I can tell you it's awesome.




So then it did actually rain quite heavily and I shot the rest of the couples session literally inside a tall hedgerow and of course being the professional I am I don't get fazed by rain, I think these hedge photos turned out awesome.



It may have been raining but the light was scrummy, I had an umbrella over my camera as the couple stood inside the small covered hedgerow, is this photograph the most romantic you've ever seen?
Finally it stopped raining so we made it back to the reception and look at what awaited us



The most amazing homemade cake I've ever seen, Emmas mum was responsible for this wonder!




Finally I'll end on this one, this was not posed, I simply captured this moment as Emma and Mark were waiting to welcomed in to the wedding breakfast by all of their guests.

Emma and Mark, I hope you love these as much as I do, thanks so much for letting me be a part of your day.

No time to blog....

Once again, life and work has totally gotten in the way of blogging and to be honest I don't think I have anything vaguely enthralling today, neccessary perhaps, the promise of excitement to come perhaps but no pretty much just the usual lifey and worky stuff.

Paul passed his medical and has officially got the job as a Postman, yay for the postman always ringing twice eh?! ;)

So I shall leave you today with a photo of Britains newest Postman and possibly the Postman with the bluest eyes ever!!

Have a great weekend!
