7 weeks, 13 weddings, 2300 miles

Regular visitors to my blog might have noticed a lack of posts recently. I have just come to the end of the busiest part of the year and it's always a real challenge to find spare time to blog recent weddings. Looking back through my diary over the past 7 weeks reveals I have driven 2300 miles, covered 13 weddings (two most weeks) at all corners of the UK and taken over 5000 photographs. The year is far from over yet, I have weddings right through to the 30th December and my diary for 2010 is filling up fast.

I'll shortly be posting some photographs from last weekend's weddings.

What do photographers do on their day off? Photograph weddings of course!

What do wedding photographers do on a day off? Maybe have a nice restful day? Or maybe go for a day out? Actually no, they hook up with photographer friends and second shoot for them. (It's better than going shopping with my wife).

I joined up with my friends Dan & Ann Johnson who are wedding photographers based in East Sussex, on their wedding at the HAC (http://www.hac.org.uk/html/corporate-private-events) in London.

The bride, Dolly, wore a fabulous Vivienne Westwood dress. The groom, Chris, looked very fashionable in his blue suit.

These are a few of my photographs from the day.


















And here I am in action.

Harewood House wedding - Melissa & Nik

Melissa & Nik married at Harewood House in Yorkshire, a stunning venue near Leeds (http://www.harewood.org/).

Nik & Melissa met at Starbucks, the proposal was from a hot air balloon, Nik had written in paint on the lawn which Melissa spotted as they drifted across the sky in the balloon.
