Happy New Year Everyone !

Well - long time no blog - shame on me. But you know what I'm like by now. Once we get to November and the shops start stocking selection boxes I get distracted by tinsel and shiny things and forget to write to you all !


No matter tho cos I'm here now and still recovering from a fantastic wedding Open Day yesterday at The Hare and Hounds Hotel in Tetbury - can't believe how many brides braved the miserable wet weather to come and see the hotel, and it was lovely to meet so many new people. Lots of the couples are actually having their wedding at the Hare and Hounds itself - we LOVE working there as apart from being a gorgeous venue to photograph, the staff are always friendly and helpful and we get nothing but glowing reports from the brides afterwards.


Was there yesterday with my partners in crime, Sanchia Finlay from Finlay Make Up and Janice Burford from Daisy Chain Florists - Janice had gone for a gorgeous "country cottage" themed flower display this time and chosen some of spring's most fragrant flowers - people were literally flocking over to see her just because they were following the beautiful scent from her display ! Sanchia and I helped her pack up and she gave us a pedestal display each to take home - I know have the most elaborate dining table flower display in Newent !

In the run up to Christmas we had quite a few Christmassy weddings, the most festive of which was that of Clare & Alan Carter (above) at The Hatherley Manor Hotel on Christmas Eve - the hotel gardens were covered in a festive blanket of snow and I was so pleased that Clare and Alan braved the cold for some photos outdoors. It was a lovely day with a lovely couple, and put me in a festive mood right on time to go home and finish wrapping my pressies !

January is quiet this month for weddings, but my god the portrait shoots are packing themselves in ! We are so busy this month especially since we launched our new Portrait Party service for families - we have been inundated with families wanting to host a party so they get there own photos for free !

Oh well - I would sign off with my usual "time for another cuppa" but sadly we ran out of milk last night so I'm making do with hot water and a slice of lemon.... good for the diet I suppose !
