Becky & Andrew's wedding on 26th January 2007

My first wedding of the year was on the 27th January when Becky & Andrew married at Stoke Place (http://www.stokeplace.co.uk).

I had been recommended to Becky & Andrew by another wedding photographer, Jonathan Day, who was also a guest at the wedding. I'm finding more and more of my bookings are coming from recommendations and many of these are from other photographers.

Becky & Andrew had a candlelit civil ceremony in the Howard Vyes room followed by drinks in the drawing room and the wedding breakfast back in the Howard Vyes room.

The 2007 wedding season starts for me this Friday with my first wedding of the year. After a couple of weeks sitting in my bag I dusted off my cameras and took them out to Horsey in Norfolk to photograph the grey seals which breed on the beach at this time of the year.

Half of the world's population of Grey seals live around Britain's coast and this beach is one of the main locations for breeding. In December and January seals and pups can be spotted in large numbers along the secluded coast at Horsey.

These photographs have been taken on a long lens from the sand dunes and no seals were disturbed. The seals don't seem too bothered by the large amount of people who gather to watch them.
