A wonderful summer wedding......

Shooting weddings for friends is always fun, Tom and Claire were married at beautiful Widcombe Grange in Somerset. This was a wedding stretching over 2 days, so wonderfully relaxed and such fun.

Engagement portraits with Hannah and Oliver in Bristol

I am so excited about photographing Hannah and Oliver's wedding later in the year. We had a short respite from the rain to shoot this engagement session. I have always thought that I know Bristol well, especially the area around the city docks but was surprised after meeting at their city centre apartment that we found such inspiring new aspects of Bristol. 

If only the rain would stay away a little longer......

Jo out Peregrine in.......

An odd day today, visitors in peoples lives come and go.  Today I have been reflecting on the past, on successes and failures, especially since being here at my studio at the Paintworks in Bristol the last 5 years. 

Today is Jo's last day with me.  She has been an integral part of the business for the last 5 years, all the time I have been in my studio and some time before.  Jo has also become such a personal friend, it is a strange feeling that she is going off to do exciting things. 

Today we were also visited by a new guest at the Paintworks. As I was putting out the recycling this morning I noticed a peregrine falcon sitting very close to me breakfasting on a mouse.  Not at all disturbed by me standing still watching it, just about 15 feet away, or when 3 guys stopped as they cycled to work.  There for long enough for me to go and grab my camera, finally flying away with its breakfast after being hassled by a magpie and became aware of me.

Jo, I hope you fly in often and let me know how your new job archiving a rare collection of glass plate photographs for English Heritage is going.  I will be here lost without you watching for the Paintworks Peregrine.....
