Hope Photography

All good here, though as usual I am behind with my blogging. I have just got back from a wonderful sunny holiday and have also moved house, but rather randomly into a holiday cottage until my new home is complete so it’s been an unsettled couple of weeks. My desk is now in boxes and I have so much to do but hey ho. Potter is still with the lady she stays with when I am away and I collect her in the morning which is good because I really missed her this time. I missed walking her and how healthy it makes me feel being out there in the fresh air. Wedding season is nearly over and bookings are coming in steady away for 2010 so it’s crazy that it won’t be long before the season begins again. Everything changes and nothing changes. Here are a few shots of a recent wedding-Claire and Paul were a pleasure to photograph and be around. You may remember them from a pre-wed with their dog Arca. Arca made an appearance at the church and amazingly even posted Potter some bones this week-how spoilt is she!! 

My most recent couple, they are both the nicest people and were such a pleasure to be with. 

Claire was a lovely bride and made me feel incredibly welcome. I am a little behind with my weddings (and my blogging!) but here are a couple of Claire getting ready and also a photograph of her son, who was incredibly handsome and loved the camera which meant he gave me a gorgeous big grin whenever I was around him-as you can see. 

Here are a few of my favourites from a recent wedding. 

My favourite moments from a recent wedding. 

So I think I have recovered from the whole bag stealing experience, now I just have lots of hassle to sort out with insurance companies etc. Anyway here is a snap from Saturday’s wedding reception, which was at the families home so this brother and sister were rolling around on the grass, thankfully it stayed dry all day. 

I am only just surfacing after a crazy weekend of 4 weddings over 4 days. It all ran smoothly apart from having to take Potter to the vets in the middle of the night on the Sunday ahead of a wedding on the Monday. Anyway she is okay now, and back to her usual monkey self. Needless to say I literally have thousands of images to edit but I picked out a few to go with this post. To make up for last weekend we are going to Bamburgh in Northumberland this weekend, I figured the first time Potter sees the beach it should be a good one. This is in my only weekend off until July so I intend to enjoy every moment of it. I will post a Potter post after the weekend of her on the beach, she is so big now. When she was ill she slept in my bed, only the second time since I have had her I might add, but she deserves such attention as she is so good. A bride recommended a place called Pooch Palace where instead of putting the dogs in kennels the dog stays in the home, at a premium price I might add but Potter and I are going up next week to look around. Trusting someone with, what feels like your child is a funny old thing. Someone recently said that I wrap Potter up in cotton wool. ‘Yes’, I said. ‘I do. Tightly’. 

My favourite from a recent wedding, you wouldn’t believe it was pouring with rain while we shot these pictures. All fine here, wishing there were more hours in a day though, time is flying by. Everyday I seem to be telling myself that I need to sort myself out, be a better time keeper-why can’t you finish that novel, run 6 miles, look after Potter, run a business and ponder over the next one (more on that over the summer!)… and eat, sleep, clean the house, make time for friends etc etc-why oh why!! 

I just had to blog this picture from last week’s wedding. I have been editing and will post more but just had to post this. N x
