I’ve managed to get the first of last weekend’s weddings processed – Kim & Rich were married at Lynford Hall near Thetford.
Below, the beautiful Lynford Hall.

Below, Rich not only had to dress himself on his wedding day but also ended up sorting out the cravats of most of his ushers and his dad!

Below are a few highlights from the emotional rollercoaster that was today’s sandcastle competition, there were many superb creations there today….
Below, this elephant sand sculpture looked great.
Below, a full scale replica of our lifeboat, in fact we do actually steer the boat with plastic spade handles so top marks for technical accuracy here!
Below, Rosa kisses a crab, sadly prince charming didn’t appear, actually the crab was the worse for wear after it’s royal mauling and had to be returned to the sea to recuperate.
Below, Sam in his Formula One creation.
Below, this lovely octopus bears a striking resemblance to Mr Tickle!
Below, one of the two winning sand creations, this was a sculpture of Nessie, good work.
Rosa, Flick & Olivia modelling the all-new dress-down vests as a simple alternative to the full dresses, a great idea and proof that Sheringham Carnival really does move with the times.
Next year – the Tesco Carnival – well, every little helps…

So Sheringham Carnival is here again, I couldn’t make the first couple of days as I had weddings on Friday and Saturday to photograph (the images of which I am working on currently and hope to have on this blog in the next few days).
Yesterday saw the crowning of the carnival queen and the bonnie baby competition and below is a small sample of some of the shots, the link to the full gallery (with the ability to purchase prints online) is shown at the bottom of this post. Also contact sheets of all of these shots will be in display in the window of the Little Theatre in Sheringham with envelopes to order prints available from the carnival caravan next to the town clock.
Below the Sheringham & Cromer brass band perform under a moody sky while we await the arrival of the carnival queen and her attendants.
Below, Sheringham Town Crier and master beard grower Tony Nelson leads the arrival of the carnival queen on the horse drawn carriage.
Below, Radio Norfolk legend Wally Webb was this year’s special guest to crown the carnival queen.
The coronation of Queen Rosa…
Rosa, her attendants Flick and Olivia and the carnival prince & Princess.
aaah…
The girls try out the long bows, not sure why Flick is aiming hers at me though!

A scorching afternoon at Blickling with Brett & Wendy, we had a good wander around the grounds of the hall and even had time for a few quick croquet hoops on the lawn. Just needed some ice cold Pimms & Lemonade!

It was a warm summer’s evening when I met Hannah and Wayne for their pre-wedding shoot at Felbrigg Hall. We didn’t need to wander far to find some interesting locations for their photos.

I seem to be spending more time in Wells than in Sheringham these days, lucky I enjoy the drive along the coast road!
Had a great evening strolling on Wells beach with Michael & Helen, there’s something very special about Wells on a still Summer’s evening, must get myself a beach hut, just need to win the lottery jackpot first.

It was time to don the flip flops once again for a lifestyle shoot of the Stephen family at Wells beach, the weather was pretty good, a little windy but I’m not going to start complaining, it certainly beats being locked away in an office!
Below, Jessica checks the net for fishies.
…while Henry fills the watering can, with mud.
…and Martha just about copes with the wind!

Off to Ranworth Hall at the weekend, Jocelyn’s family home for Max & Joce’s wedding – probably the most relaxed wedding I’ve photographed this year. It helped that the church is a stone’s throw from their house so no dashing about in cars for me this time!
Below, the church bathed in sunshine.
Usher Chris on the phone to Max, checking his pocket watch working out just how late Max was going to arrive – and you thought it was the bride that was supposed to be late!
Below, Joce is laced into her dress.
They had booked an excellent Jazz Quartet to play during the reception for more info contact Tom Harris at tomharris.jazz@tiscali.co.uk
Max and the lads get mean.
The glasses are charged and ready for the toasts.
Tully and Lance – Max’s bestmen were ‘caught’ round the back of the marquee getting stuck into their hipflasks (presents from Max)!
Below, and finally to the first dance, thank you for allowing me to be part of your day Joce & Max, it was a pleasure to photograph.

Had a great morning for exercise down at the lifeboat this morning, I’ve been waiting for a morning where everything came together to get some good shots for postcards for the RNLI giftshop – basically we needed a morning that was suitably rough, decent weather/sunlight, the tide well in and me being there with my camera – I could pretty much guarantee the last of those but the others rarely coincide.
Got some good shots, all of which I’ll be putting up in their own gallery in the next couple of days but for the time being here’s my favourite three…
The first is the launch –
Below, the RIB punches through a wave…
This last one is my favourite, I’ve worked it a little to bring out the drama of the shot but it just shows what this boat (and it’s crew) is capable of.
The full gallery of Sunday’s exercise is here.
After over twenty years Sheringham Coastguard team have been recognised as an independent unit and have been allocated their own vehicle. To commemorate this occasion we did a team photo outside the Sheringham Fire Station (the Fire Brigade have kindly allowed the coastguard full use of the fire station and it’s facilities).
Congratulations chaps, maybe see you on the next shout!
