We Three Rings

For reasons we don't need to go into here, when Louise and Mike tied the knot at Stowe School last month , Louise's engagement ring didn't make it to the wedding. So last night, after their honeymoon in China, the newly-weds came into the studio for their viewing, and we took the opportunity of capturing the three rings together. At Mike's suggestion, I placed the bands on the cover of a wedding album and here's the finished image:



It would be a shame just to post a single image, so here's another small selection from Louise and Mike's wonderful wedding day, starting with a detail shot of the bridal gown and shoes:



Lousie looked absolutely gorgeous in the dress:



Every beautiful bride needs a handsome groom, of course, and Mike fitted the bill perfectly:

The symmetrical elements of this image are really eyecatching, and show just what a splendid venue Stowe School is for a wedding:

And finally, one of my symbolic images - this shot works really well as a final page in the wedding album, evoking the togetherness of husband and wife as they take their first steps into married life:

A Walk In The Woods

Over the Bank Holiday weekend, I went to Stockgrove Country Park with our friends Luca, Michiyo and their two boys Leo and Danny. And as we took a leisurely walk around the park, I managed to distract Leo and Danny from their play with my own boys just about long enough to capture a handful of relaxed family portraits:

No children were harmed in the making of the above image - honestly! This next one is my personal favourite from the day:

This smile took some coaxing:

But Leo is simply too cool to smile for the camera:

While the boys carried logs around and played soldiers with gun-shaped sticks and branches, I stole a few moments to take some shots of Luca and Michiyo alone, including this happy portrait:
