Last Saturday, I headed back to The Grand Hotel in Swanage for the last time this year, for the wedding of Clare and Neil. A much changed day from my last visit too! Not much sun around this time, in fact quite the opposite. A stormy day, windy with heavy downpours to contend with, but …

Saturday was a first for me – my oldest son has been working on his photography and videography for a number of years, and this was our first outing as a double-act; Ursula & Sam had entrusted their videography to him (I wouldn’t have recommended him if I didn’t have absolute belief in his ability, …

Last Saturday was destined to be hot hot hot – a glorious day for a wedding, but not always the easiest of things if you happen to be working (or wearing a big heavy gown or a full on suit, to be fair!). Caroline & Oliver’s wedding was at the Grand Hotel in Swanage, where I’ve not been …

Last Saturday saw me heading back to the Kings Arms in Christchurch for the wedding of Lianne & Rick.

Last Sunday saw me sharing a few hours of Charlotte & Mark’s wedding at Christchurch Harbour Hotel here in Dorset.

Still the daffodils were doing their level best to brighten the countryside and it didn’t matter anyway because Lizzie and Duncan were getting married…again. Well, they were sort of getting married, just without the formal paperwork. Lizzie and Duncan had actually got officially married twenty four …
