Somerset wedding photography: Forde Abbey, Katy & Pablo get married

Here is something a little special to enjoy.  I have tried to keep the photos down to a reasonable amount, but I have failed.  It is all just too beautiful and romantic...  Katy and Pablo got married in May at Hinton St George church, then celebrated at the amazing Forde Abbey on the Somerset/Dorset border.  Everything about the day was just stunning, from Katy's exquisite San Patrick lace dress to the wonderful venue and the absolutely beautiful early summer flowers. The romance between Katy and Pablo was a joy to photograph and the first dance makes me a bit teary every single time I look at the images.   Put the kettle on, get comfortable and enjoy...

Dress: designed by San Patrick and fitted by Susan at Parham House Brides, Dunster

Flowers: Cottage Flowers in Illminster

Hair & make up: Cara Bridal, Bristol

Engagement Photography: South Devon Railway in the pouring rain

Normally when I am faced with this much rain, I would suggest that we reschedule an engagement shoot.  However, Scott works away a lot and there wasn't another opportunity for us to do this one, so Kerry and I decided to go ahead and brave the weather anyway.  Brave was the operative word.  It absolutely bucketed down on us.  And then some...  But it actually made everything a bit special!   I love the whole feel that the weather gives to the photos, and there is just something so incredibly romantic about kissing in the pouring rain.  South Devon Railway at Buckfastleigh is the just best ever location for an engagement shoot (thank you Kerry!) and I loved all the old engines, vintage style platform and steam trains!  I love these photos and I really enjoyed getting to know Kerry and Scott.  Their wedding is in July at Greenway in South Devon - can't wait!

Family portrait photography session: playing in the park

I've been looking forward to sharing some images from a really lovely family session I did recently.  We played tigers in the long grass, had a great time running around with the football and launched a zoom rocket almost into space.  In between all that we also took some photos, some of which are here to share with you...

Father's Day: for all the Dads...

To celebrate Father's Day, here is a montage of some of my favourite recent 'Dad' shots - cradling newborns, cuddling toddlers, rescuing footballs and toasting daughters and new son-in-laws in the wedding speeches.  Just wonderful!  Extra bonus points awarded for spotting my own lovely father in the mix... ;)

Have a fantastic Father's Day everyone :)
