Best ever wedding shoes…..

Just did a Bebefoto shoot and came across these truly funky shoes which would do any wedding proud – Maisie, you have the very best taste in footwear.  So couldn’t resist putting a shot of them on this blog.

I can really identify with the sock mark problem, Maisie!

It is a while since I managed to put digit to keyboard to get this post done.  Just a few words about what’s been going on.

Firstly, we had Rosalind and Richard Lumbey getting married on Friday 10th at the most gorgeous little chapel out at Goosnargh.  Sat in the  middle of the countryside and bang next door to a primary school – wouldn’t you love your children to go to a school set in the middle of fields with the sound of the sheep baa-ing away whilst they’re working?  I have promised to send the teachers at St. Francis on The Hill Primary School some pictures that I took of the children looking at the bride arrive.   Lucky children having such amenable teachers who would let them be a part of this special experience.   The pictures are still being sorted out so will add some onto this post  when I get them back. 

This was a very special family wedding, with their sons Christopher and Joseph,  and there was a lot of good feeling amongst the guests – I particularly felt it and I’m sure that everyone else who was a part of the day felt it too.

Particularly liked the drivers at Broughton Wedding Cars who were very attentive to both Rosalind and her Mum.  Thanks for all your help guys. 

Flowers were by Diane at Fleurtations in Preston.

On Saturday was Jodie and Lee, one of my favourite couples of the year, and I just knew that with such a bubbly couple there would be loads going on and a great crowd – I was right.  They also had the cutest little girl, Ruby (what a cool name) but she wasn’t particularly impressed with her head-dress for the day – it has to be said.

Again, we had a driver from Clouds cars who was utterly brilliant – nothing was too much trouble and he was a real sweetie.  He also didn’t take offence when I told him to leave the dress alone so that we could get a clear view of the dress detail from the back!   Its lovely to have help from your driver but sometimes you just need to have a clear run to take the sort of pictures that you know your B&G will want to see. 

Flowers at this wedding were by Margarets Florists.

The ceremony was at All Hallows Church in Bispham followed by The Hilton Hotel.  I particularly like All Hallows as I feel that they have a really professional approach to photographers – in other words, they won’t let any old snapper in!  They also know exactly how things need to flow to get the best from your photographer.  However, it is a really dark church which makes it a bit tricky particularly if it is a cloudy day but to offset that there is a part of the ceremony where the minister brings the couple forward to the front of the church and the stained glass windows really illuminate the scene.

I try to avoid working on Sunday’s but Kate is a regular customer and there was a one-opportunity weekend where her brother’s family (complete with new baby, Lucia) were going to be around.  So I bobbed out early and we got some great shots to put together for a birthday pressie for Kate’s Mum.  I really like the look of the pictures and I’m hoping that Kate will too.

Haven’t really tweaked this image – more or less how it came out of the camera.  Love these boys – gorgeous.

Next up was the Dawson christening and I hope they don’t mind me putting a few shots up here – Rachel and Tim will shortly be leaving the area and they will be very much missed by loads of people around the Lytham area.  I wasn’t asked to photograph but couldn’t resist with all those lovely children around, and it was a lovely relaxed and slightly decadent afternoon with my favourites – pink bubbly and meringues!

 Just so you know – I haven’t had time to do anything with these christening photos.  They are as they came out of the camera.  I will be doing a little something with them so don’t think you won’t ever see them again.  Albeit a little tarted-up.

The Adorable Dawsons ………en masse!

Rachel and Tim with the star of the day – Harriet

Harriet with Fairy Godmother  Dawn – a ditzy bit.  Forgive me… couldn’t resist!

And this little chap who I sat and watched quietly, and in a most business-like fashion, consume a bowl of crisps to himself - apart from a few pretenders.

And Andy who is one of life’s lovely blokes.

A bit of window-licking perfectly finishes off a wonderful afternoon, I always find. 

The following day I got to photograph Maisie in her shoes (along with brother Oliver) and they are such adorable, edible kids.

So its been a busy few days and I’ve got loads of work to get processed. 
Wendy and David – don’t forget to call me as I’ve got your montage and preview book waiting for you here.  Andrea and Simon – not yet got your preview book back but am anticipating it arriving before the weekend.   Jane and David – looking forward to seeing you tomorrow and think you’ll love the pictures.

Everyone else – see you soon x
