Honey Coles Bridal Boutique

Last month I was asked to take some photographs of a new bridal boutique that had opened in Abbotts Bromley in Staffordshire called Honey Cole.

When I arrived and walked into the shop I was amazed at what I saw. I felt like I was walking into another world, it has to be one of the most beautiful shops that I have been in.




I was greeted by Bev who instantly made me feel so welcome. Bev had thought of everything when putting her boutique together fantastic shoes, accessories, jewellery, tiaras and not to mention some of the most stunning bridal dresses that I have ever seen. Stocking designers such as Alan Hannah, Lyn Ashworth, David Fielden and Augusta Jones, brides are spoilt for choice. As I walked around the shop taking photographs I would see a dress and instantly say thats my favourite, then a few minutes later I would go “ this ONE is my favourite”, I was getting so excited at the prospect of trying on all of these dresses and then I suddenly remembered that I am not getting married, but I certainly know where to go when I am.





So if you are haven't decided on your wedding dress yet why not visit Honey Coles or give Bev a call on 01283 841947

Fantastic Stationery by Angelic Creations

As regular visiters to my blog will know, last weekend I was exhibiting at the National Wedding Show at the NEC. There were some absolutely beautiful items on display there again this year, and none more so than the wedding stationery designed and handmade by Angela Atherton of Angelic Creations. Angie was my ‘neighbour’ for the duration of the show, and by the end of the three days, she had become a great new friend. Her work is absolutely stunning, and so different to anything else offered by other companies. Whatever type of stationery you are looking for, whether it’s invitations, order of service, table plans, place settings, then please check out Angie’s website or give her a call on 01928 511574. http://www.angeliccreationscards.co.uk

Owen's Favourite Friends

I have just done a fantastic shoot in Birmingham, with little Owen. When I arrived, Owen had just woken from his afternoon nap, but he wasn’t the slightest bit fazed by a stranger with a camera entering his home. He immediately got down to the important business of introducing me to all his friends – Terry the cuddly monkey, big bear, Tiger and everyone else. We had so much fun, watering the plants in his garden, playing with the leaves in the park, and seeing the sights around the area where he lives. I wish all my photo shoots could be this much fun.

Jodie's Lifestyle Session

A couple of weeks ago, I met up with Jodie for a lifestyle photographic session. Her Mum had arranged this for her, and just as most people are, Jodie was initially quite nervous. Once we got into the shoot she found that it wasn’t quite as scary as she had thought it would be, and really enjoyed it. I got some beautiful shots of Jodie (it helps that she is absolutely stunning), and some of my favourites are of her with her dog Maisie, and her horse.

NEC National Wedding Show

This was our third time exhibiting at the NEC, and we had another great show again this year. We had so many lovely comments about our stand and our stationery, and it is great to know that all our hard work is appreciated. Special thanks to the couples who booked with us over the weekend, and I really can’t wait to photograph your weddings at some exciting new venues next year. Thanks also to everyone who visited our stand over the three day show, and I am looking forward to meeting up with those of you who are coming into my studio for a consultation (away from the mayhem of the NEC !)

Congratulations go to Becky and Adrian from London, who are getting married in Leicestershire in 2009, winners of our ‘Win your Wedding Photography’ draw. Many thanks to everyone who entered.
