Congratulations Mel & Mark!

Friday saw us shoot one of our favourite weddings to date!
More images to follow soon.

Family Photo

As I was thinking about blogging Julie and her gorgeous daughters photographs from our shoot last week, it got me thinking about how important family photographs are.  The ones that capture you in a moment together. 
All of you.  Together.  In one image.

I wondered what family photographs I might have, and having recently heaved the box of old photographs (I have ambitious plans of organising them) out from the garage, I went and had a rummage...

10 albums later, this is what I found

Seriously, in 10 albums, this was the ONLY picture of the 3 of us, and then there's uncle Jim in the background, and I look like I have no neck!  It made me a little sad, that amongst the hundreds of memorable moments, this was the only one of us as a family.  Admittedly, I have probably another 10 albums to go through, but the odds of finding much more are not exactly favourable.

This makes the mother and daughter(s) moments below even more special because, before anything else, Julie, Elisha and Erin are a team of 3.  They are family, and they will always have these images to remind them of that.

In the meantime my memory vault has been opened, so I'm going to see what else I can find...
Now this is why I love photographs.

Lovebirds: Mel & Mark

Okay, so I am excited before every wedding we shoot.
That's a good thing though, right?
Well, I think so, and I'm excited!

Mel and Mark are getting married next Friday.
There's a Georgian House, a Routemaster and a cool Britannia pub involved.
Oh. My. God. How amazing is it going to be!

We met up with Mel and Mark last weekend to get to know each other and take some pre-wedding shots which I've used to compile into an interactive guest book. 

Ever since I first came across this idea I've been wanting to put together a sample book, and well, Mel and Mark's groovy style gave me the perfect opportunity.  I just think it's such a fabulous way of showing off your pre-wedding pictures and gathering some well meaning sentiments and advice on your big day!

Anyway, here are some more images from the stylish couple.
Roll on next week...

Sneak Peek: Mel & Mark

Mel and Mark are getting married in just under 2 weeks.
Mel is a fashion editor and Mark owns a record label.
Now is this going to be a rockin' wedding or what!

Lovebirds: Louise & Russ

Louise and Russ brightened up an otherwise dull Sunday a few weeks back.
Due to get married in 2011, Louise was happy to give Russ the opportunity to relax in front of a camera before the big day.  Sadly we won't be photographing their special day but, as you can see - they are going to make a stunning bride and groom!
