Coming to the end of the wedding season now. I’ve been so lucky with my couples again this year – what lovely people. I’ve photographed weddings all over the South West – Devon, Somerset, Bristol. Some really beautiful venues – Stoodleigh Court in Devon, Thurlestone, Hestercombe Gardens, Tone Dale House, St. Audries, Nettlecombe, Lord Haldon Hotel Dunchideock – to name but a few. Some great pictures as well!

Watch out for the new publication from Archant in January – Guide for the South West Bride. You may see some of my wedding pictures in there! The magazine is linked to the wedding fair being held at Powderham Castle, just outside Exeter – 28th February and 1st March 2009. Come and see me – I shall be in the marquee.

I had a very good day at Bindon House wedding fair in October. What a lovely venue for your wedding and reception. The people are so friendly - it's so nice to work in such a friendly atmosphere. Maybe I'll be able to photograph your wedding at Bindon House!

Pregnancy shoots are still as popular as ever – I really enjoy these. Mums-2-Be come in to the studio, where I have a female assistant with me for the day, and spend between 1 and 2 hours enjoying a special photo-shoot with me. I usually prefer to work in Black & White for these sessions, but if you prefer colour then that’s O.K. These sessions are really personal and I work with the mums – and dads – to produce some wall art that they will want to keep for ever. I would love to show you lots of results, but, because of their very nature, can only show a very few – either on my website or sometimes here on the blog. If you’re expecting, why not give me a ring and we can have a chat about what you’d like to see in the way of pictures. Tel: 0845 3703839. Some mums have travelled more than 2 hours by car to come to the studio – simply because they know we will be really relaxed and so they will fell at ease and so get the pictures they really want. 32 – 35 weeks is the very best time to photograph your bump. By then you’ll find your baby is making a great shape to photograph. You will be just glowing with health. Dads are very welcome to come and join in – they need to be included in the development stages and enjoy the expectancy!
