If you’re friends with me on Facebook you may have already seen these shots as I posted them there a couple of days ago but thought I would share some here on my blog (plus they are much bigger & higher quality images on here than the little compressed shots on the FB galleries).
Below are a few of my favourites from a great evening at the beach last week with my children Charlie & Will…

It’s been a while since I read Captain Corelli’s Mandolin so I had forgotten the below extract which Paul & Kat (of yesterday’s wedding) had printed on the back of their order of service. I thought I would share it here as it’s a lovely piece of prose and would make a great reading at a wedding…
Love is a temporary madness, it erupts like volcanoes and then subsides. And when it subsides you have to make a decision. You have to work out whether your root was so entwined together that it is inconceivable that you should ever part. Because this is what love is.
Love is not breathlessness, it is not excitement, it is not the promulgation of promises of eternal passion. That is just being in love, which any fool can do.
Love itself is what is left over when being in love has burned away, and this is both an art and a fortunate accident. Those that truly love have roots that grow towards each other underground, and when all the pretty blossoms have fallen from their branches, they find that they are one tree and not two.

I’m just working through processing for Anita & Tristan’s wedding last weekend at Bury St. Edmunds cathedral and had to share this shot, really pleased with it!
Should have the wedding finished next week, lots more to follow!
The second of my pre-wedding shoots from last week and again a really fun & interesting shoot. Lisa mailed me saying they were open to any suggestions for a location for thier pre-wedding shoot so I suggested Holt town centre as I’d not shot one there before.
It turned out to be a pretty good choice as we found loads of cool little spots for photos, small sample below…..
Full gallery of shots from this North Norfolk pre-wedding shoot here.
Anyone who follows me on Facebook may have seen that the week before last I was in Brighton for 5 days on a groundbreaking photojournalism photography workshop called MyVision.
Originally I was going to be an assistant to one of the team leaders at the workshop but due to one of the candidates requiring emergency medical treatment I found myself in the amazing (yet daunting) position of being a fully fledged participant.
The workshop comprised four teams each with five members and a team leader (plus a merry band of assistants and support team). Each participant was allocated a business/organisation local to the Brighton area to spend two days photographing. I can’t go into too much detail here as there will be another workshop next year and there needs to be an element of the unknown for future candidates - nothing like a bit of tension to make you think!
The organisation I was allocated to was the Brighton Quakers Meeting House - they had a national tapestry exhibition. I decided to focus on the relationships between the people and tried to capture the warmth and kindness of the Quakers and the people using the building, hopefully this comes across in my slideshow of final images….

Many thanks to the people at the Quaker Meeting House especially to Rob , Christine, Richard Battson, Carolyn (as in Marilyn!) and the lovely ladies in the kitchen (awesome soup!), they all made me feel so welcome and didn’t once complain about me following their every move!
