Gushing..

Nothing deep or heavy in today's blog, just the joy of a gorgeous spring morning with the warm sun on my face as I chomp my Cheerios and check out my tulips. Aaaah, beautiful! I'm chomping at the bit, too, for Saturday's Wedding! For some reason I'm really excited about cracking on with it! I'm down at Nunsmere Hall to capture the day for a great couple, Sam and Steve. It's just a straight-forward, simple Wedding - lovely venue, an intimate 45 guests and, let's hope, some great weather - just how a Wedding should be! The good weather, and the feel-good factor that comes with it, seems to be encouraging people to go for that long-delayed family portrait too, and bookings have picked up nicely for the next month. All this and a new exhibition from the middle of May, eh?
Man, life is sweet...

The clock is ticking..

A tulip, already going over in my garden, and because we're freezing our doo-dahs off it's difficult to remember that it's already May and summer is fast approaching! It's a shame for today's brides that the weather is so unreliable these days, and I'm just hoping Portmeirion has a lovely little 25 degree micro-climate going on when I go there for Sunday's Wedding! Mind you .. 'Cast ne're a clout' as they say, ''til May is out!' The shot, by the way, was on my X10, at f2. (Fast shutter speed to stop my shivering, ha ha!)

Nice to get caught up in the 'other' side of a Wedding! What I mean is that if I ever go to a Wedding it's because I'm the photographer, of course, whereas next week I'm going to be a guest. I just emailed Nicky, the bride, and dropped in the fact that it was only nine days until her Wedding.
"9 Days 4 Hours and 24 Minutes :-)" came back the reply !
God, even I'm getting excited!
Roll on the heat-wave!..
