Kerry & Tammy’s wedding, Witney Lakes, Oxfordshire

It was Kerry & Tammy’s wedding a couple of weeks ago at The Witney Lakes Resort in Oxfordshire, it was a lovely days for a wedding lots of blue skies which is begging to be a bit unusual this summer.

It was a fantastic day, luckily for Tammy their house was very near the church so when she forgot her bouquet Dad could run home and get it!!

So brides before the day give your bridesmaids jobs for the day and make sure one of them is to remember the bouquet and a needle and cotton (always comes in handy!), everything is so exciting on the day its easy for the little things to be overlooked!!

Here are some images of Mr & Mrs Judd….

Viva Italia!

Two weekends ago I took some time off and my husband and I headed off to Venice.  Wow what a place!!

We had not been to Venice before so found it all quite amazing, the architecture is superb and the fact its all on water takes some getting sued to.  The weather was amazing hotter than I thought it would be which was lovely after being in cold wet England, still when it got all a bit hot there where plenty of bars and restaurants to park ourselves in.

We did the obligator gondola ride which was really relaxing and romantic, a little more expensive than we would have liked but hey you can’t go to Venice and not go on a gondola can you!!

There was so much to take pictures of to it would have been easy to only see it through my camera lens!

Brian & Helen’s wedding, Friars Court, Oxfordshrie

It was Brian and Helen’s wedding a couple of weeks ago at Friars Court in Oxfordshire.  Well what a venue they have a licence to marry outside so the wedding ceremony was to be held outside under a beautiful rose arch in the beautiful gardens of Friars Court.

It was touch and go for a while Brian and Helen desperately wanted to get married outside but in the morning it looked like that may not be possible as the cloud closed in, but luckily the rain held off and the ceremony took place outside as they had hoped.

They had asked for something slightly different in my brief as they where having a seven course meal they asked if it was possible for me to photograph the food, I haven’t photographed food before but was more than happy to take on the challenge which as it happened I really enjoyed.  I thank Saddlers caters who didn’t mind me under their feet in a very busy kitchen while I stuck a camera under their arms and over their heads to get the shots I needed.

I did it!

Well yesterday was not a nice day, in the weather stakes I mean which did not bode well for me in the Race for Life.

I pulled up at Newbury Showgound in the middle of a near storm, the wind was howling and the rain was coming down in droves, I satin my car for several minutes why on earth I had thought it was a good idea to do this in the bleak English summer. 

Never the less I hauled myself out of the car and plugged myself into my ipod and got going, it wasn’t nearly as bad as I thought the rain and wind in fact kept me from overheating, I managed to get round in 31 minutes and ran or jogged I shold say the whole way, so I felt pleased with myself and can tick that off and can safely say I don’t think I will ever be doing a run again, its really not for me!

I have a new found respect for anyone who runs the London Maraton I did 5km and couldn’t have gone any further I can imagine running 26 miles.

So thanks to everyone who sponsored me.
