Assorted tattoos
An assortedment of tattoos taken at a couple of different events in the last week. Sadly time didn’t allow for more than just a quick chat and shot!
David and Liane’s Lands End Wedding
I’m often asked which my favourite wedding was and the answer is – the last one! It’s not just a politically correct answer; the reality is that each wedding is an emotionally charged event where I’m fully engaged with everyone. I genuinely feel the same passion, fall in love with the bride and groom and want to help make it the best day of their lives.
So, with the previous paragraph firmly in mind – Saturday’s wedding was absolutely the best one ever. David and Liane were fabulous, the bridesmaids were gorgeous, the families were great, the venue was to die for and the weather was hot and sunny with just enough of a breeze to keep cool.
The staff and the Lands End Hotel and the photo kiosk were great too – nothing was too much trouble. Even the tourists kindly kept to one side.
Here’s just a few of the photos that capture just something of the day and show you what a brilliant job I have.

Royal Cornwall Show
A great few days working at the Royal Cornwall Show (apart from a headache from a skateboarding accident – I was hit on the head by one!). Although I wasn’t working as a photographer a camera just happened to make its way into my bag! Here’s just a few of the photos – all pretty random really!

David and Suzanne’s book
Bank holiday – hooray! Worked all day – boo!
Yes, worked all day editing photos, mailing proofs and building a coffee table/storybook for David and Suzanne. I did miss the sun but had a really productive day and am really pleased with the book. You can have a preview and even buy a copy at – http://www.blurb.com/bookstore/detail/1391921
Hello Sailor
Being a photographer is just the best! Yesterday I was having a great time photographing a wedding at St Michael’s Hotel, Falmouth – great looking couple, lovely people; I walked into the main part of the hotel to visit the toilets, taking my camera with me (as you do) and walked into a hen party just starting off for the evening. Would you know it – they wanted to pose for the camera!
What a great looking bunch of girls. I trust you all had a great evening and that the wedding is fabulous. (Why didn’t you hire me as your photographer?)
