Happy New Year!

Image
Welcome 2013!   Happy New Year to you All. I hope you all had a wonderful festive season and for those of you who had a break are fully fit and refreshed and ready to tackle all that this year throws at us. The end of 2012 was very busy, shooting in the studio right up until Christmas Eve so we were pleased to finish up and head off for Christmas. Christmas Day was kicked off with the gathering of the villagers in the Barley Mow for festive drinks then back home for a turkey dinner with all the trimmings, Christmas pud with brandy cream, perfect! We were then struck with a case of Man Flu in the house - yes, Jason got the flu. He went to bed Christmas night and re-emerged New Years Day, poor soul. Having a bit of time in between nursing duties I had some time to reflect on 2012. We have had celebrations on a national scale with the Diamond Jubilee , seen some devastating weather, watched Felix Baumgartner jump from the edge of space and felt proud ...

Winter Wedding at Pine Ridge Golf Club

Did Somebody Say It Was Raining? A preview of Tracey & Russell's Wedding. Tracey & Russell - Mrs & Mrs Evans When I looked out of the window on Saturday I didn't see the cloudless blue sky I was hoping for. In fact it was raining. I thought of my bride and groom and I hoped that they weren't worried. I needn't have been concerned as when I arrived at Pine Ridge Golf Club everything seemed to be running smoothly and the wedding party were keeping warm and dry - in the bar of course! Tracey arrived with her father and from the broad smiles on both their faces I could tell that the weather was going to have no effect on the day at all. Tracey looked absolutely stunning, her dress was beautiful with pretty lace detail and sparkles. Oh, and Russell looked rather handsome too! The sun would have been nice but who needs it when you have such a lovely couple surrounded by their family and friends, cosy and warm sharing this special day. Congratulatio...

Personal Work I have had a really busy week this week planning a 1920s inspired wedding shoot. Not going to give away too many details just yet, just to say that I am getting very excited! I have the pleasure of working with some fantastic local suppliers, a gorgeous model and are blessed with with being able to use a great location. If you could all do your sunshine dances and blow away the rain clouds for next Wednesday I would greatly appreciate it! Have a good weekend. Fiona.

Claire & Rob an Autumn Wedding At Northbrook Park, Farham

Claire & Rob's Wedding at Northbrook Park It was the most superb day on Friday for Claire and Rob's wedding so I thought that I would let you have a sneak preview of a few of the images from the day. Northbrook Park , just outside Farnham is a wonderful venue for a wedding and Jason and I were so pleased to be able to share in this special day. Claire ready and looking just lovely! The very dashing Mr Smith. It was a very romantic ceremony with two readings and a few tears and a round of applause and they were announced as husband and wife. The September weather decided to show us that Autumn was upon us but nothing dampened the spirits of the guests who continued congratulating and celebrating in the Vine Room whilst the rain fell outside. We had a brief spell of clear weather and headed out into the gardens for some photographs of family and friends before the Wedding Breakfast. Claire & Rob catching a quiet moment in the Walled Garden The O...

No.10 Bridal Catwalk Show and Charity Auction at Northbrook Park - Part Two

Image
Part two of this amazing day. The stunning collection And for the finale - the charity auction. We were all hoping that we could raise a bundle for Breast Cancer Care and the brides and guests didn't let us down. There were some superb items in the auction from beauty treatments, bespoke ceramics, individually designed head pieces, a photography session to a chauffeur driven ride in a vintage London taxi to name just a few. Roy did a great job of getting hands raised and the bids came in. Then came the final auction item - a gown from the new Madeline Isaac-James collection. Well I have to say that this was a very popular item! Hands shot up all around the room and the winning bid was placed by a lovely lady. As it turned out her Mum, who was with her, had suffered from breast cancer but now thankfully was completely clear. What a deserving winner and I think it made everyone tingle and bought it home to us all just what a great charity this is, fighting for s...
