It can be quite daunting to choose the person who is going to take your wedding pictures. Faced with a wedding to organise, I have noticed that booking a photographer is surprisingly far down the list, despite the fact that this is the one aspect of the celebration that will be with you forever. The […]

This morning I found an old invitation to a friend’s wedding. I remember the excitement when I opened her envelope: I’d never seen anything like it before. A beautiful invitation with an opulent bronze bow on it that you had to untie before you could read the invitation. I tracked down the lady who created […]

All respect to Times motor racing correspondent Kevin Eason and his wife as of today, for their 60 hour marathon home in time to get married. I wish I’d been there to take the wedding pictures, (although I imagine it was hard work editing out all the bags under the groom’s eyes after 46 hours […]

Romantic and mysterious, with all those keyhole archways and orange flower scented dishes, Marrakech was the perfect place for D, my gorgeous boyfriend, and I to steal some time from our schedules for our first holiday together.

At other times my eyes hurt with the sheer visual cheese factor of certain offerings. (Click on Themes in the Confetti website and you’ll see what I mean… ) So I […]

Scouring the wedding sites, I find a lot of scarily tacky merchandise, but there are some fabulous party accessories out there. If I were planning a wedding or a fabulous party I would definitely be using this company: Night Sky Lanterns. In fact I’m using them already, having just bought some of their lovely paper […]

So, my boyfriend and I are debating about the nature of love. Well, I say debating but it’s more a case of sleepily muttering to each other one Sunday morning. Specifically, the idea that couples should not expect to be all things to one another, but should accept that no one can ever be truly […]

I won an award! Photo.net, an international photography forum have given me Honourable Mention: Very Good to Excellent for one of my wedding photographs. All very exciting and also wonderful for the model, Kat, who has had a tough old time since her mother died. Stephanie Buttle was the art director on the shoot, and […]
