DH (Dear Hubby) has taken all three midgets to the shops...mwaahahaha!  (shops + three short people = evil laugh)

I finally have some quiet time and am busy editing Karen and Greig's wedding at the moment.

Found this gem, which I quite like, and in the name of procrastination " I just have to post it on the blog".

When I look at the image I hear that song by the Dixie Cups "Going to the Chapel, Gonna Get Married".

Procrastination dose done, back to editing, before the short one's return.

Cowboys, cowgirls, candyfloss, rabbits and farm animals; the boys had a blast!.

Happy Birthday Angelique! (or 'aleak' as the boys call her)

All the elements that make up a fabulous wedding were there on Friday.

A stunning bride, a handsome groom, good laughs, a picturesque venue, and beautiful details all tied into one!

Tracy and Florian just radiated happiness and are absolute naturals in front of the camera - no directing needed.

It was, quite simply, a relaxed celebration with very few of the traditional wedding rituals.

We did, however, have a couple of wardrobe laughs which I had to mention.

On the bridal-side, Tracey decided, before the wedding day, that the train of her dress was just "too much" - soooo not her ;-), so she decided to simply cut it off, as you do, much to the horror of the designer, I am sure!

On the groom-side, Florian had a major co-operation issues with his tie, getting the optimal length,  (personally I think the tie was scared of heights), which meant there were about 20 attempts to get it "just right".

Ursula and I felt truly welcome, as if we were part of the family.  We felt continually grateful to be there, to capture it all, as well being honoured to have such an important job.

Thank you both for your hospitality.

Enjoy Botswana - it's out of this world!

 The sealing "I do" kiss looks so natural that it almost looks posed, don't you think?

The beauty of having two shooters is that you get two different perspectives on a moment, above right picture taken by Ursula (probably one of my favourites from the day) and below mine.

A sugar coated long weekend which consisted of four Easter egg hunts this year, and enough chocolate eggs to feed a small country.

Happy Easter to all!

Such an exceptional and thoughtful gesture, that it warrants a post on its own.

At a wedding ceremony on Friday, with it being over the Easter weekend, the bride gave each child a very special gift.   Smaller children received a beautiful Velveteen Rabbit, with a storybook and an Easter egg.  Older children got carefully selected toys that were matched to detail their different personalities. 

Tracy, the bride, very generously included a parcel for my boys, which included three very special bunnies, easter eggs and a storybook.

Thank you so, so, so very much!  We read the first chapter yesterday and the picture below is of Oliver with his bunny, listening attentively to me reading the story of the Velveteen Rabbit.
