SMITHS LAUNCH NIGHT

Last Thursday night Smiths Hotel welcomed around 50 guests to their new and improved 5* hotel to show off their new lounge and private dining areas. I was asked to go along and photograph the new areas for their website. The night was a great success with amazing food, Strawberry Daiquiris and cocktails on arrival and guests were entertained by the brilliant singer/guitaristJohn Penn.
Here are a few of my favourite images of the night....

The new lounge and some of the fab food...

Thanks for inviting me to a great night!

David & Joanne.....Beautiful classy wedding

Last Saturday I had the pleasure of photographing David and Joanne. What a beautiful day they had the weather was perfect! The day started for me at the church capturing David and his ushers and they were very easy and good fun to photograph!



Joanne and her father arriving in the car together...



The first look when David and Joanne saw each other for the first time and Joanne looking naturally beautiful and reflective!



Outside with the sun shining in the pretty gardens of the church...



We took a little detour on the way to Smiths Hotel for some romantic photographs.





I actually thought that David and Joanne were a little shy when I first met them but on the day they were amazing to work with and they had a cool calmness about them that I loved! They didn't object to any of my suggestions they just posed as I asked and I think they look amazing! Their day was tinged with a little sadness as Joanne's sister who would have been bridesmaid was stuck abroad unable to get back because of the flight restrictions in the UK from the recent volcano in Iceland.

Back at Smiths we took some pictures inside the new lounge area of the hotel. I love these images.



Thanks for letting me photograph your big day I really enjoyed being with you! I hope you enjoy choosing the photos for your album and that Joanne's sister enjoys the little slideshow (CLICK HERE) that I have put together for her! Enjoy your honeymoon!

Simon & Joanne.... A Whirlwind Romance!

They met just four months ago but each one knew that they had met the right one and after waiting a long time to meet that special someone they decided not to hang around but to get married!

Joanne loved the idea of a small intimate wedding in a castle and so Comlongon Castle was selected and they managed to organize their wedding in just three weeks! With their three children beside them I was honored to see this fabulous couple who are so in love tie the knot! They are stunning and are very easy to photograph. The camera loves Joanne as you can see she is very photogenic!



Meet Joanne and Simon....... Simon surprised Joanne by wearing a kilt .... well they were getting married in Scotland!



Exchanging vows up in the ancient keep..



Love these pics of them together!





By the cosy fire in the drawing room...



It rained the entire day but this didn't spoil the photos they even were up for getting a bit wet!



I really had a great time with you all what a lovely family you are and I hope the extended family back home enjoy the celebrations with you now that they know you are married!
