I was not sure wether to post Hayleys maternity photos here on our main blog or on our Boudoir Blog so I decided to do both She looked so beautiful I thought you should all see her.  Hayley was one of our 2005 Brides and we see her often to photograph her daughter Daisy but this was her first bump shot. This was taken in our studio with just a modeling light and no flash,  Our Nikons allowed us to shoot at 3200 ISO and still get beautiful files, I am pleased to say that Hayley and Matt have ordered the black and white version for there “boudoir”.

On Saturday Sue & I joined Dean and Vicki for their amazing wedding at Romsey Abbey and then onto Broadlands.  We started our day at their house for a few prep shots before leaving to meet Dean and his “best lady” at Romsey Abbey for a few very relaxed photos prior to the wonderful service in this amazing Abbey.

After the beautiful service we all (250+) ventured out into the gardens for some photos for what was a fun filled 30 minutes before we headed back to Broadlands where we were met by a great marquee and of course Pimms !  

After an hour of lazing around in the sun we were served a wonderful hog roast and home made cakesyum yum on both counts, we then spent the early evening playing games out on the grass and taking a few photos before the music started.

Dean and Vicki chose a very formal service and then a very informal day which worked a treat,  as for Sue & I, well its a tough old life you know !

This has been one of our busiest weeks of the year so far, we booked a couple of great weddings and another couple of workshops, we photographed 3 boudoirs and 3 portraits and we had an amazing training day yesterday with Liz Mortimer who was one of our 2006 Brides .

You can see the Boudoirs here and the Workshop here and  I will post the portraits as they are edited on this blog.

Here are a few shots we took of Daisy,  We photographed Daisy’s Mum and Dads wedding back in 2005 and have photographed Daisy several times since, this week she came with her Mummy who had booked in a bump shoot, Hayley is pregnant with her second and we are delighted for her, whilst we were waiting for Hayley to get sorted Daisy was just playing around without any posing so I shot off a few of these, I hope to be ably to post the bump pictures after mum has decided,

I hope you love these.

You will probably see that Daisy was happily using all of our “good girl” stickers  and continued to stick them all over her and me,

On Saturday Sue & I joined Alan and Kelly at Norton Park nr Winchester for their wonderful wedding day. We met Alan and Kelly last year and have been looking forward to spending the day with them ever since, we started the day with Kelly and Julia and Olivia and Jessica along with mum whilst they had their hair and makeup done in the Manor House, we then popped over to see Alan and the lads who were as is usual finishing off all the last minute details like “who knows how to tie my cravat”.  

We then had a beautiful ceremony in the Barn with 2 wonderful readings One of the readers, Alan’s young nephew read a Robby Burns poem and the whole room was in tears except me of course, it was very emotional. We then all went out into the gardens for drinks and photos in the apple orchard as well as down by the lake.

We then had a wonderful wedding breakfast before some very entertaining speeches and then some great dancing with both a wonderful DJ and a great band.

All in all a pretty perfect wedding on what turned out to be a pretty perfect day,

Have a great honeymoon Alan and Kelly
