Nominated For SWPP Travel Photographer of the Year
Recently I received notification that I had been nominated in the last 3 for Travel Photographer of the Year with the SWPP thanks to an image I took in Marrakech in May. This year, I was quite successful in the competition. My target at the start of the year was to beat last years total of 4 gold awards. In the end, I managed 17. The Travel category alone had nearly 500 entries throughout the year and the Golds awarded make up less than 2% of all entries. So at the awards dinner in January in London I get to find out if I am successful or not. Either way, it has been a fun year. Below are the images that were awarded Gold awards.

The Wedding Of Laura and Paul 6th November 2010
The beautiful location of Eaves Hall near Clitheroe was the venue for the wedding of Laura and Paul. The weather on the run up to the day was very poor but on the day we were blessed with bright sunshine albeit a little on the cold side. On arrival myself and able second photographer Jamie made our way up to the Bridal suite where we were met with the calm of the Bridal preparations. I am not sure who was the most nervous, Laura or the Bridesmaids Katherine and Shannon. Everything was running like clockwork, Mel was busy doing everyone's hair, although I did try and say mine was fine as it is. The flowers from 'The Flower Shop' Clitheroe all arrived on time and looking beautiful so a few shots to capture the proceedings were taken before we left them to get into their dresses. It was now the turn of the gentlemen to get their pictures taken. The boys were in very high spirits and best man Paul and Usher Glynn were not going to give Paul the chance to get nervous.
It was then back up to the Bridal suite to get the last few shots of the Bridal Party before the ceremony. The ceremony was emotional and it was so obvious to all that the vows made meant everything to them. From then on the time just flew past as it always does when you enjoy yourself. The speeches before the meal were excellent and everyone who spoke should be justifiably proud of what was said. It was quite hard to try and capture the shots as I was laughing just as much as everyone else. There were also the moments that had guests reaching for the Hankies.
The evening was started off with the first dance to Wonderful Tonight, which was well rehearsed for the watching friends and family. It was then my time to leave and let them carry on with the fun. We would like to wish Laura and Paul all the very best for the future and it was an honour to be part of your day.
Below is a slideshow of just a few images of the day.

A Touching Testimonial
As a Wedding Photographer in Lancashire, it is always nice to receive positive feedback from clients. Last week at the business networking group I am a member of a testimonial was read out to me that really made my day. The text from the testimonial can be read below.
Our wedding was arranged in a record time of 3 weeks after Peter was diagnosed with cancer. Many of our family and friends helped with the wedding including the photographer which was a gift from friends, Amanda and Lee Carus. When we met Paul we were instantly put at ease, he was very reassuring and professional and told us not to worry about anything at all, as, if anything did go wrong he would have plan b up his sleeve.
On the day Paul arrived at my parents house to photograph the wedding preparations - he captured all the memories we could have hoped for and was never intrusive - in fact most of the time we didn't even know he was there. During the service and after, Pauls organisational skills shone through - he had even prepared a list of photos so all our family and friends knew who was next to be photographed. Many of our guests commented that Paul's organisation was great and it ensured the smooth running of our special day.
Paul stayed well into the evening and took over 500 photos in total. Then came the hard bit, picking 90 out of the 500 to go in the album. After hours of deliberation we emailed the list of photos back to Paul and we were amazed that within a week the album was ready.
We cannot put into words how fantastic the album is - the quality of the photographs, the design of the pages, the beautiful leather bound case - everything about the album is perfect. Most of all we and our girls have had our memories captured and will treasure them forever. Thanks Paul
Nicola and Peter
The thanks also comes from me, it was a total privilege to be part of the day and glad I have captured some memories that will last forever.

More from Blackpool
Saturday we went for a walk along the front at Blackpool and here are a few images from the walk (1st Image is from Friday night for those that are picky). It was very windy but certainly cleared the cobwebs.
