Baby Bump Photography – Kelly

Baby Bump Photography – Kelly

I had a really great time with Kelly photographing her baby bump. We photographed Kelly & Gareth’s wedding a couple of years ago so it was great news to hear that they were expecting. It was a really fun, relaxed session and it was lovely to catch up over a coffee.  I love to work with shadow & light in relaxed surroundings to give a variety of different moods to the photos: here are a few of my favourites.  For more details of pregnancy and newborn photo sessions, please contact Gillian.

Clevedon Hall Wedding Photographers – Melanie & Martin

Clevedon Hall Wedding Photographers – Melanie & Martin

Mel & Martin booked us for their wedding at Clevedon Hall back in 2010 and it only seems like yesterday.  They were married in Holy Trinity Church, Nailsea and during the service, they were handed a bottle of red wine by the vicar which we initially thought was slightly unusual (alcohol in a church during the ceremony?) but all became clear when the vicar compared the bottle of wine to a relationship; both improving with age.  We stopped off to take photos of Mel & Martin with Clevedon Pier as a backdrop, we couldn’t miss out on this beautiful landscape Read More

Cadbury House Wedding Photographers – Becky & Darren

Cadbury House Wedding Photographers – Becky & Darren

We had been looking forward to this day ever since we had received an unexpected e-mail from Darren saying he had a surprise arranged for Becky.  You’ll have to read on to find out what the surprise was!  Chris and I were greeted by broad, grinning smiles from both Becky and her 3 bridesmaids who were all very well organised.  This is the first wedding we have photographed in a long time where the whole bridal party was ready ahead of schedule.  No last minute panics, nobody rushing around to locate those vintage ear-rings granny had given or trying to Read More

The Bay Tree Wedding Photographers – Yen & Dries

The Bay Tree Wedding Photographers – Yen & Dries

Back again to The Bay Tree today, we love this venue: it has such character and the staff are so efficient & friendly, the food tastes pretty good too!  I love the story of how Yen & Dries met in Barcelona: Dries was at a conference and Yen was holidaying on her own after her sister was unable to join her.  Alone and at a loose end, they both decided to book themselves on a cycling tour around the city and the rest is history.  Fate was definitely intervening that day.  With family & guests flying in from Taiwan and Read More

Wedding Rings

Wedding Rings

Chris took this beautiful photo of Yen & Dries’ wedding rings on a sprig of Eucalyptus.  I am often with the bridal party capturing the excitement of everyone getting ready when Chris is taking this photo.  I don’t often see his shot until I am editing the images and I love to see what he has taken, great ingenuity and a brilliant photo, Chris (don’t tell him I said that though!)

BLAKENEY MARSHES

BLAKENEY MARSHES

Wide open spaces and uninterrupted views of the natural and dynamic coastline make for an inspiring visit to Blakeney, at any time of the year.  It was bitterly cold when we visited and I definitely looked like the Michelin man as I was wearing so many layers but at least I was warm! Read More

A little bit of nostalgia

A little bit of nostalgia

Vintage seems to be a real buzz word at the moment so here is a trip down memory lane at Sheringham Station, Norfolk.  I particularly love the bright orange sign saying ‘Virol – the food for health’ which apparently was a gooey brown malt extract. Read More

Steam Locomotive

Steam Locomotive

Something for train enthusiasts……….  This steam locomotive ‘Pitchford Hall’ was built in 1929; a member of the GWR4900 Class.  Photo taken at Sheringham Station before it set off puffing along the tracks of the local ‘Poppy Line’.  The trains of the 4900 class were all named after Halls, one of them being a wedding venue we cover ‘Dumbleton Hall’.
