Jane and Gary

Saturday was the wedding day of Jane and Gary at beautiful Horton Grange in Northumberland. After a few days of decidedly "iffy" weather, Saturday was clear and dry. We enjoyed the hospitality of the staff and the bride and groom's families, and after the wedding breakfast, the sun even decided to put in an appearance. Gary and Jane are one of the nicest, most loving couples and it shows in their images. Congratulations you two, and thanks for a lovely day.

Summertime blues???

No summertime blues here! Lisa and John's 50's style wedding preshoot was a total blast! Surrounded by American and vintage cars, and at a 50's diner, John and Lisa played the part of matinee idols to perfection. Check out the 50's glam photo makeovers courtesy of Kevin Kubota. Have a nice day, y'all.

Close House

On Sunday, I had my first visit to Close House for Ashley and Peter's preshoot. What a beautiful venue! Peter and Ashley enjoyed practising being Lord and Lady of the manor and I enjoyed the fabulous colours of the outdoors, and the grandeur of the indoors. Can't wait for the wedding!

A most wonderful day...

Saturday was a most unusual day. We were greeted by the most beautiful (if humid) weather of the year, we met the most organised bride in the world,as well as the most accommodating vicar and most helpful churchwarden, witnessed the most perfectly choreographed first dance and definitely the most boisterous SECOND dance! Thank you Tammy and Anthony and your most welcoming families-we had a most wonderful day!

A day off!

Today was a welcome day off, and despite it being a Bank Holiday Monday, and an awful start to the day (woken by torrential rain at 6.30am) the skies cleared further north, and the light in Alnmouth, Northumberland was perfect for some vibrant skies and some pastel seascapes. Glad I took my camera- I nearly left it behind to have a REAL day off!
