A Signature Shot..

Wow! The writing was on the wall at yesterday's Village Hotel Wedding. Well, it almost was when Laura and Steve's signing board proved to be rather popular with their guests! Anybody booking me as their Wedding Photographer before the end of this month will receive a free Engagement portrait, made up into a Signing Board like this (Hey, I even throw in the Sharpies!) I've never seen one fill up so quickly as this one, though. That's one popular couple just married! You can check out their Wedding here...

Right, time to go hunting for Easter eggs....

Look on the bright side...

Ok, enough of the excitement from the weekend .. let's get back to basics. I thought I'd provide a public service to my readers in the south of England by showing them what a lot of water looks like! It must be so long since they've seen a sight like this, what with their drought and all that! Funnily enough I had an engagement shoot to do on Saturday and the bride-to-be, Laura, called me first thing in the morning to suggest we postponed it as it was pouring down. I told her that, if Saturday had actually been her Wedding Day, we'd have had no choice but to carry on and get the shots done, so she relented and we went ahead with the shoot. On the drive down to the hotel, however, I was gritting my teeth as, not only it had stopped raining but the sun was now shining absolutely blindingly. I needn't have worried! As soon as I got to the venue the rain began again, and can actually be seen in all my shots! Still, I had to look on the bright side .. at least it wasn't sunny! ..

PS: This shot won me the runner-up prize in the Cheshire County Newspapers annual Snappers' competition in 1981!

Trendy at last..

Engelbert Humperdinck in the Eurovision Song Contest? Well, that's it then, we've won! Aw, come on .. you can't argue with class, can you, and yes, these CDs are from my own collection! I knew I'd end up trendy one day! Ironically, I'm always complaining that the same old names keep getting played on the radio, making it very hard for new talent to break through, but today I couldn't hide my delight on hearing that old Engelbert would be flying the flag for us in May. Go on, Bert! I always knew I'd be a better man (For having loved you) PS: Relax! I've not gone all soppy on you, that's the title of one of his songs!

So, off to Stockport now to shoot some portraits for a business magazine, and then I have an engagement shoot over the weekend at The Village hotel, in Cheadle. Just got to remember not to sing 'Release Me' ..!
