Brian & Helen’s pre-wedding shoot

I will be shooting Brian & Helen’s wedding at Friars Court, Oxfordshire on Saturday so we got together a couple of days ago to do some pre-wedding shots.

It was a great idea as neither Brian nor Helen like having their photo taken so hopefully after this they will have relaxed a little for the special day.

Aaron & Harriett’s wedding, The Holt Hotel, Oxfordshire

So yes on the 31st May instead of moving house I was shooting Aaron & Harriett’s wedding at The Holt Hotel, Oxfordshire.  It was a lovely day and both Aaron, Harriett, their bridesmaids and ushers where all in fantastic spirits for the big day.

Aaron and his best man Nick run a disco company which I can highly recommend, they are called Lets Go Disco and for me are a class above the usual DJ’s out there, there is no talking and they are even happy to don a tux should your wedding require it.

Luckily for me they had set up the light rig for the disco they day before which gave me an opportunity to add more light to the wedding ceremony which was fab, not sure the registrar agreed as she was staring into a huge spotlight!!!

Here are some images from the day with the first dance shot being my particular favourite, they had a huge confetti cannon which they set off in the middle of the dance, which to me was a dream come true as it really made the shot.

Time to dust off my running shoes

I am not a fan of running and never have been to be honest…. from the first time I had to put on my trainers, airtex and gym shorts and run the cross country course in sub-zero temperatures while my games teacher told us all to run faster from the warms of her full ski suit, bobble hat, scarf and gloves!

None the less I have often thought of taking part in a charity run but have never actually done it, so this year I thought it was about time, plus having a run that is just for women on my door step gave me the inspiration I need.

So on Sunday 06 July I am taking part in Cancer Research UK’s Race for Life in Newbury to raise money to help beat cancer.

Please visit my sponsorship page at http://www.raceforlifesponsorme.org/lesleypattinson/ and sponsor me today! Thanks!

I will post my time after I have done it so you can all judge just how fit I really am!!!
