I’m very late posting this blog, things have been a little hectic lately!

As we got closer to the bridal prep I was thinking that Davids ice climbing skills may just come in handy, everywhere was frozen! We were at the foot of the Sperrins and the snow was thick on the not so distant mountains!

The ceremony was lovely and the chapel was very bright, modern and best of all warm! The reception was buzzing and everyone was enjoying the company and the nibbles and just ignoring the ice outside.

Have a look at some of the pics, including the Tango!

It’s amazing what you find when you tidy your studio!

For those of you that don’t know, it’s plastic camera that uses 120 Roll film (about 4 times the size of standard film) and takes the most unusual square photographs. I’ve bought myself a load of film and may just bring this along to some weddings next year!

Here is one of my Holga Photo’s, notice the top right corner where light has leaked into the camera!!

Usually when a Bride asks us not to forget to photograph their dog it’s a rat like creature called something like ‘Fluffy’ or ‘Sparkles’. We were greeted by a big friendly Dulux dog called Paddy! When she’s not looking after Paddy, Lauren likes to look at lakes and destroy every car she touches…

Chris was very relaxed about the whole thing and the church looked very Christmassy, the carols during the service helped with this too!

Cabra Castle is a lovely location normally, but with the Christmas Trees and all the decoration it was just fantastic and more than made up for the lack of daylight at this time of year!

It’s gotten seriously cold lately and it was no different at our wedding last week. The sun was shining though, so Ruth bought me a new scarf and off we went.

We started at Helen’s Mum and Dads house for bridal prep, there were enough sandwiches to feed an army on the table and everyone was very calm!

The guys were waiting with Thomas at the church where we got a few shots and waited for Helen to arrive. Everyone was very upbeat and in great spirits, from the Bridal party to the guests and with everyone enjoying themselves the atmosphere was great!

After the ceremony there was a brief stop at Hillsborough Fort for some photo’s and then onto the Merchant in Belfast. Even though it was cold outside I doubt that anyone noticed, there was that much messing about going on!

It’s that time of year again, we are running our special offer and this year we are including a free 5×7 print!

Places are limited so call to book your appointment!

Saturdays wedding was very interesting! There were two ceremonys, two locations, cupcakes and french boules! It was a very easy going, fun day (although at one point we did loose Brian) and apart from one very brief shower the day couldn’t have been better!

It was a good day on Saturday, Ruth was back to shooting after having Samuel and the rain that everyone was talking about stayed away mostly!

We arrived at the reception running so late that we only had 45 minutes to shoot but Caroline was calm and really got into the shoot so everything worked out great!

We went in last night to be induced but they were so overrun with patients that I was sent home as they wouldn’t be inducing that night. An hour later (11pm) Ruths waters broke.

Baby Sam was born at 2:15 am weighting in at a healthy 7lbs 3oz!

The staff at CAH were fantastic, they were overrun with patients, badly understaffed and run ragged but I feel we received no less care than if we had been the only patients on the ward.

I have some photo’s to share!!

We have been lucky with the weather at the moment, so Tina and Scot couldn’t have planned it better! The Bangor / Crawfordsburn area is a lovely part of the country and with everyone being so relaxed it was a great atmosphere. More very random Photos!

I like surprises, and I got a surprise when I saw Anne Marie in a beautiful red dress! We visited some great locations and got some great shots, all in all a good day! I’ve chosen some very random photo’s…
