gypsy caravans & the spirit of beltane
May 13, 2013 — 5 Comments
Beltane or Beltain (pron.: /ˈbɛlteɪn/) (also Beltine or Beltaine)[1] is the Gaelic May Day festival. Most commonly it is held on 30 April–1 May, or halfway between the spring equinox and the summer solstice. It was observed in Ireland, Scotland and the Isle of Man. In Irish it is Bealtaine ([ˈbʲal̪ˠt̪ˠənʲə]), in Scottish Gaelic Bealltainn ([ˈpjaul̪ˠt̪ˠɪɲ]) and in Manx Gaelic Boaltinn or Boaldyn. It is one of the four Gaelic seasonal festivals; along with Samhain, Imbolc and Lughnasadh. (more…)

nikki & olly… sneaky peek
May 9, 2013
Nikki and Olly are getting married in 29 days. I get regular count-down emails from them… I’m excited, they’re excited, so we took some photo’s due to excitement. It’s exciting! (more…)
They were riding in a troika with bells,
and in the distance there were glimmering lights.
I’d rather go now with you, my dears,
I’d rather distract my soul from the yearning. Along a long road, and on a moonlit night,
the long road

joanna and andrew… get married
April 13, 2013 — 2 Comments
Joanna and Andrew had the most beautifully hot day at one of my favourite venues How Caple Court. It is such a wonderful place to shoot, bucket loads of history, with gardens full of romanticism and magnificent edwardian architecture. These guys knew how to throw a party too, with probably one of the best ends to a first dance ever. Que groom, lifting bride onto the stage! Check out the reactions of the ‘crowd’ in the post! Thanks so much to the award winning Chris Barber for the invite and to Joanna and Andrew who made my job so easy.

2012 facing fears
January 13, 2013 — 3 Comments
Where do I start? Seriously. This past year for me has been a challenge. I’ve had so many changes in my life but I feel I am starting 2013 enriched and more determined. I’ve shot over 10,000 photographs in the last 16 months, completed my first wedding season and begun the exciting process of building my business. (more…)

Dearest reader, I felt as if a giant stone had been lifted off my chest!
Can there be anything more wonderful than the emotion of relief!
When you feared for the worst and then things turn out to be not so bad after all. You feel as if you have been handed a brand new future to make whatever you want from it. A new life. A new start. You feel brave. You feel hope. Anything seems possible. You feel so alive that you want to stand on your head and you do! So I did! - words by Rob Ryan.
