About Me

I am a mother of three boys (three boys, being punished for my sins!) and have been a fan of photography for years. I started shooting weddings seriously about five years ago. With the arrival of my twins, I decided to reduce my working hours in order to spend more time at home with my boys. Using photography to make up for the loss of income was a natural progression.

This is where you will be able to catch regular excerpts of what I am up to...

Two unexpected visits to the Doctors rooms for two different midgets - and on two different days - my week is now out of sync by two days. I will try my utmost to post what I had planned to, but with the rest of the week being rather packed I am not at all sure.

 

I will leave you with this pic from Catherine's & Shaun's wedding which I am loving.

I love the two frames, how Catherine is framed in the one half and the hands & train framed in the other half.

The groomsmen cleaned up good 'n proper, the weather was just perfect, the couple was gorgeous and up for anything - not to mention, their friends and family were fantastic.

 

Plus, take in an Irish mom, throw in three energetic little girls, mix in some hairspray, clips and make-up, add an over-worked (and very patient) father of the bride, along with an animated make-up artist and you have a taste of what it was like photographing Shannon . . . simply getting ready.

  

The creatives were equally as scatty, with Shannon and Paul braving a vicious beast by the name of Rambo during their shoot, jumping into hay stacks and, quite honestly, just being themselves - when they could.

 

It is so amazing to be able to share a day like this, during which the ceremony was the only part I could possibly use the words: calm and serene.

 

Thank you, Shannon and Paul - we had a CRACK!

 I must say it does look relatively quiet in this picture.

LOL
I know why no photographers where harmed as i know how fast you can move when you are on the job.
Can't wait to see the rest of the shots you took, as always we can expect to have our socks knocked off.
