Fiona and Gavin

It really has turned to Winter in the last two weeks - I seem to have the heating on permanently and I am so looking forward to getting all festive in a few weeks time!

Two weeks ago, I photographed Fiona and Gavin's wedding at the Marriot Royal, College Green, in Bristol. It was a really wintry day but, luckily for Fiona, she only had to venture downstairs to have her hair done in the hotel salon, which is where I caught up with her in the morning.

Back upstairs, her bridesmaids' preparations (and several bottles of Champagne!) were in full flow and there was a bit of a party atmosphere, especially when the bacon sandwhiches arrived!

Gavin, his male entourage and I went out on to College Green for some photographs before the ceremony and then headed back inside to the beautiful Palm Court, which was decked out in candles and cream flowers.

Fiona looked stunning as she walked down the aisle on her Father's arm and the candlelit ceremony was really atmospheric. After the ceremony, Fiona and Gavin led their guests outside for a few family photographs before they enjoyed some more Champagne and canapes.

Here are a few shots from their day:

Joshua

A couple of weeks ago I caught up with Annie, Julian and baby Joshua. I last photographed Joshua back in February when he was only 11 days old so he was quite a bit bigger and had a lot more energy!

After some shots in Joshua's room, we headed out to nearby Royal Victoria Park in Bath for some photographs of Joshua and his parents in the Autumn leaves.

In a few months' time, I'll meet up with Annie, Julian and Joshua again for some Spring time photographs to mark his first birthday and the last in a year's worth of four shoots charting Joshua's first year.

Louise and Jonathan

Last month I photographed Louise and Jon's wedding at Ston Easton Park. I have really enjoyed getting to know Louise and Jon and time seemed to have flown since I last met up with them during the summer!

Louise had just got back from the hairdressers when I arrived to take a few shots of her getting ready and she seemed pretty calm and relaxed for a bride to be!

I have heard it said that this year's Autumn colours are the best for 40 years and looking out of the windows at the lovely views of parkland in all directions, I would agree with that.

Jon was busy greeting guests when I met up with him downstairs and it was a nice opportunity for me to capture the general build up of excitement.

After the ceremony, Louise, Jon and their guests headed outside to enjoy the afternoon sunshine before we took some shots of them in the stunning grounds.
