September Update!

The 1st of the month is my birthday so the month of September always begins well!
My husband and I spent the day in London and had a superb lunch at Le Gavroche.

Wedding season has continued steadily throughout September with wedding's at some lovely venues including quirky South Farm in Royston and a fabulous wedding in Bibury in the Cotswolds.

I love the Gypsy style caravans at South farm.

We stayed overnight at The Old Bear Inn B&B for my wedding near Cirencester.

Rude not to have afternoon tea during my visit : )

Stow-on-the-wold

The weather has been better than during August in terms of sunshine, I have enjoyed some lovely sunny days spent in the countryside with my pooches.

My mum remarried on the 26th to the lovely John, congratulations again Mr & Mrs Reynolds!
The wedding took place at Strand House in Winchelsea, we had a fabulous three day house party and the weather was beautiful too (www.thestrandhouse.co.uk).  I look forward to sharing some professional shots with you soon!

My cosy room, complete with Strand House bears and love hearts.

August Update!

August has been a busy and fun month aside from the appalling summer weather!

My mum and I enjoyed some pre-wedding pampering ahead of her wedding in September organised by me - self designated matron of honour! We had a fabulous fashionista's afternoon tea at The Berkeley Hotel with friends after a fantastic manicure and pedicure in the spa!  

Mum and I also enjoyed a few days in the rainy Cotswolds,  just as well we stayed at a relaxing Spa Hotel as the weather was awful.  We highly recommend Dormy House in Broadway (dormyhouse.co.uk) and had a super fun time!

August is always a busy month of shoots and weddings for me but I certainly can't complain : )

Some pic's below:

I made some hen favour party bags for all the gorgeous ladies attending including marshmallows, crystal pencils, heart note pads, heart chocolates, prosecco, Beatrix Potter loose tea, scented drawer liners, nail files and bubbles!

Bride to be! My gorgeous mum X

July Update!

July has seen some nice sunny walks and relaxing time with my poodles Middy and Lucas.

Our extension/building works are coming on although it may not look like it here...finished pics next month I hope!

I have certainly put some miles on my car this month with two shoots in Nottingham, another in Oxford and weddings all over Hertfordshire and even a wedding in Dulwich my car has definitely been my other office!

Gorgeous gals for bridal trials ahead of weddings later this year.
