It was Natalie and Gareth's Wedding on Friday 25th September at Garstang Golf and Country Hotel. A good day was had by all. Natalie and Gareth are a wonderful couple and I wish them all the best for the future and hope they enjoy the honeymoon in Egypt. If you wish to see some more images from the day go to the albums page on my website. Contact myself here or Natalie and Gareth for the password should you require it.
I hope you enjoyed the slideshow, now here just a few of the still images to view.
For the last three months or so my partner Jan has been making a wedding dress for her friend Natalie. I decided to capture a little of the work that went into the making. A huge amount of time went into creating the dress with all of the intricate detail being sown by hand. I just hope my images do this amazing work justice. Congratulations to Natalie and Gareth and also to Jan for producing this fine piece of work. I am proud to have been part of it all.
Edinburgh Castle was the venue for the Wedding of Erika and Fabrice, Erika and Fabrice are a French couple living in Switzerland and they speak very little English which is the same for my abilities with the French language although I did take time to learn the important sayings such as 'you look beautiful'. To add to the difficulties of the day, Edinburgh was crammed with tourists as it was the end of the Fringe Festival and also there was to be a firework concert at the castle so a huge stadium had been built in the grounds of the castle. The whole wedding was being filmed by a French TV company and despite all the potential problems we had a great day and Erika and Fabrice had a fantastic day. After the ceremony they enjoyed an open top bus tour around the City followed by some lessons on playing the bagpipes.
Well here is a little bit about me. I was born in 1969 in Suffolk and was brought up in Suffolk until I left School in 1986. From there I joined the Royal Air Force as an Airframe Engineer. I was based in Norfolk for 16 years where I travelled to many countries with my job. From January 2004 until December 2009, I was posted to Moray in the North of Scotland. This where my love of photography escalated. Starting with landscape and general photography, I was to discover I had a real love of taking pictures of people especially weddings. The interaction with people of all ages was a breath of fresh air to me. This helped me to make the decision to leave the RAF after 22 years, relocate to be with my partner in Blackburn and spend more time on my passion of photography. Now with the support of Janet and many people in the industry I am striving to continually improve and put a smile on all the faces I ever work with. This blog will hopefully become a little insight into my new life and I hope it will be of interest to many people in the future.
Happy Reading.
