Good Afternoon Folks,

I recently photographed the wedding of Hannah and Garry and the very beautiful<a href=”http://www.salomonscentre.org.uk/” target=”_blank”> David Salomons House in Tunbridge Wells, Kent</a>. It was a changeable day weatherwise, which was a shame because Hannah and Garry had originally planned to have their ceremony outside but the weather had different ideas; it did not hamper the fun though. The ceremony was just as beautiful inside because all their family and friends were there to celebrate such a special day.

We did manage to have the group shots outside because Salomons has a splendid covered terrace that kept the guests dry and they could nip in and out as required through a side door. It was then off to the newly built bridge with golf buggy and brollies to capture some intimate shots; even with the rain there was no way that Hannah and Garry were going to miss out on this, so the intrepid gang had fun there too!

For me personally it was a most surreal day; firstly I had a chat with one of my old school teachers who is Hannah’s Aunt, then I discovered not one but two students who were in the same year as me; gosh really what a small world we live in. It is so funny because I just could not call my teacher by her first name…old habits really do die hard.

Today I am posting four images, the first is on the new bridge and I love the leaf formation that frames Hannah and Garry having a moment together. The second was taken in the science theatre in front of the world renowned organ and here Hannah is sporting my newest acquisition, a lace parasol. The third image is Garry looking fantastic and he remembered everything we discussed at the pre-wedding shoot too; and last but not least joy during the first dance.

Well what a truly amazing site to see at the opening of the Paralympics last night; I was gutted as I fell asleep before seeing the lighting of the Paralympic cauldron :(. On a more exciting note, my mentor’s Godson is an athlete in the field events that are due to take place on Tuesday evening, so I will be glued to the TV and willing him on to gold; how utterly fabulous!

Enjoy the weekend folks.
