We are delighted to announce that for the third consecutive year we are finalists in the Westcountry Wedding Awards. These are consumer awards, based on client reviews so we are delighted that for the last three years we have consistently shown such a high level of customer satisfaction. Last year we were delighted to be the only photographers to have been shortlisted for 2 consecutive years, and now it’s even better that we’ve done it for 3!

I thought it would be nice to share with you this little video that I am currently showing on Baby TV in the ante-natal clinic of our local hospital. Just a little promotion, primarily of my Pregnancy and Newborn Portraiture.
We had a wonderful holiday in Antigua and should have some lovely images ready to show you soon… While we were there we spoke to wedding co-ordinators at a couple of 5 star resorts about Destination Weddings. It would appear that wedding bookings are down at these high-end resorts this year, no doubt a sign that this worldwide recession is far from over. However, it never ceases to amaze me that some people go to huge effort and expense to have a wedding in paradise, and yet settle for photographs from a young and inexperienced hotel staff photographer, taking home poor quality prints. Surely they would prefer to have a beautiful high-quality wedding album to treasure the memories of their special day? We spent a day at Long Bay, and while I was bobbing around in the warm sea, I was watching a photographer with a newly married couple on the beach. I have to say, I was cringing a little, and had to restrain myself from getting out and giving the photographer a few pointers! If any of you are considering a Destination Wedding, please, please think carefully about your photography… It probably wouldn’t cost as much as you would imagine to take a good photographer with you, and the results will speak for themselves!
I thought it was about time I uploaded a photo of me receiving my Award for BIPP Western Region Pet Photographer of the Year from Chris Harper, Chief Executive of the British Institute of Professional Photography. The winning image is now framed and proudly displayed for anyone who visits the studio…
