They not only loved my photography but booked me soon after for my relaxed style of capturing the wedding without too much fuss - they didn't want a photographer who was going to boss them about but who would photograph the day with a mix of informal and formal shots from the day.<br />
<br />
They picked spring for their engagement shoot in the grounds of Milton Hill House where their wedding will be held this weekend. Here are a few from that session.<br />

The bluebells at Badbury Clump have been in peak flower this last week and an early morning sojourn to the woods found the early morning light soft and the bluebell woods to ourselves. Perfect for a few family photos….<br />

Add to that a warm summer day and the gentle sound of water lapping against a boat and you have the perfect canal boat holiday. Last summer my family did just this and we had one of the best holidays ever. <br />
<br />
We live in a peaceful rural Oxfordshire village - away from big cities and heavy traffic which was once the norm so it maybe surprising to hear we wanted a holiday "away from it all" - surely that's our current status quo? But even a quiet village is not immune from everyday life trying to steal your every second of the day. The physical doorstep maybe quieter and true there are black spots of reception in the countryside but mobile calls and emails and social media pervade our lives here as much as anywhere.<br />
<br />
So the thought of a week where we would travel the canals that meander through the northwest English and Welsh counties without computers, phones or TV's had much appeal. As we started our journey northwards my heart sank - the heavens opened with rain. The sort of rain that normally has you running for shelter and not venturing out again without wellies, considerable waterproofs and a jolly good reason for not remaining indoors. It may have been the first week in August but I was starting to wonder if we were facing a week of being continually soaked by the elements and destined to feel miserably damp all week. And had I packed enough warm and waterproof clothing? I can even confess to feeling slightly smug that we had booked the following week in Greece for guaranteed back-to-back sunshine to recover from what was increasingly looking like a once in a lifetime experience - not to be repeated under any circumstances!<br />
<br />
Travelling up the M6 is not my favourite route on the best of days but 5 hours later we arrived at the marina to pick up our canal boat from Pea Green Boats. One day we will learn to stick to the plan and set off early! Already the sun was now breaking through and it turned out to be a glorious week of summer weather. Our boat - The Owl - was perfectly proportioned for our family of three with a comfy double bed, a pull out bed for our son and best of all a hot shower and flushable loo onboard! After some basic instruction and hands-on guidance through the first lock we were off on our week's adventure. The peace and quiet was immediate and as the sun began to fall lower in the sky, the sounds of birdsong and the gentle, rhythmic motion of The Owl making its way down the canal we could feel our bodies physically relax. The red wine on board probably helped a bit too.<br />
<br />
Mooring up for our first night - we made our own dinner on the boat and played a few board games. There was a TV on board but no reception - perfect; a week oblivious to anything happening in the world at large. We watched a DVD before turning in for the night - Wind in the Willows with the wonderful and sadly departed Rik Mayall as the charming Mr Toad. We slept well all week and thoroughly enjoyed our week on the boat. The slow pace of life was just what we needed and the scenery was beautiful - of course I had packed my camera to capture it all. Would we do it again? Absolutely - not least as we didn't make it to the Viaduct at the end of the canal so we have a challenge to return to see that. If you are looking for holiday with a difference then look no further than a week on a canal boat.<br />
<br />
While a strong arm is required for some of the locks it well worth the effort and our son thoroughly enjoyed helping out (do make sure children wear their life jackets at all times when out in the open). I took on steering the boat through the locks and was quite proud to find I mastered it with ease, once I'd worked out which way to steer the tiller. There is the hydraulic lock at Wrenbury (which also has a great little shop for provisions if you run short just 5 mins from the canal) as well as the little village of Marlbury with its church, pub and lake if you want to stretch your legs off the boat. The tow paths are also right there for a walk along the canal and in late summer/Autumn provide an abundance of brambles for crumble pies and custard!<br />
<br />
A good sprinkle of pubs offer meals and a pleasant place to sit out on a summer evening if you want a change of scene from your boat, and if your lucky you'll also capture a sunset or two.<br />
<br />
Essential items to pack - games, books and custard! Leave the mobile at home…. you won't get a call all week!<br />

Both were living in Faringdon, a place which holds special memories and where they were to marry so we did a lovely pre-wedding shoot up by the Folly. They were so at ease in front of the camera I knew then this was going to be a great wedding to shoot.<br />
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
They had a wonderful wedding day held on a gorgeous mid-summer day during July 2014. After the ceremony at Faringdon Church the wedding reception was held at Witney Lakes Resort and in the evening the warm sunshine provided a perfect "golden hour" - a term photographers use to refer to as the best time of the day for photographs where the sun is low in the sky but warm and flattering on the skin. Even better we were able to nip out and make the most of this light is a nearby cornfield.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<div>
I hope you enjoy looking through these highlights from Emma & Michael's special day.</div>

Here are a few photos that go to show homework can be fun even for 7 year olds especially if you don't stick too closely to the curriculum!<br />

As a children's photographer I love capturing natural images of childhood. Autumn is a fantastic time to update your family album with its soft lighting and colourful landscapes. Why not book a photography session for your next trip out and get some great memories lovingly captured of your family. Gift prints make excellent presents for grandparents too!<br />

Every wedding I photograph is different - and the timelines run according to the way the couple plan their day. That said, I'd like to offer some thoughts on how to get the best out of your day for your wedding photography. Needless to say events can often run beyond the control of the best laid plans but hopefully the information below will help you plan your day so you get the photos you want without it taking over your day.<br />
<br />
<br />
<b>1. Getting Ready (1-1.5 hours)</b><br />
<br />

<br />
I like turn up just as you are finishing your hair and make-up. How long this takes will depend on how many of you are getting hair and make-up done but there is no need to photograph it all. Most brides prefer a few shots of their make-up being applied and the finishing touches to their hair. Factoring in also the dress, shoes and flower shots then 1-1.5 hours will usually cover all this. Check timings with your hair/MUA - and then add on at least 15 mins so you aren't rushing to get into your dress on time.<br />
<br />
<b>2. Putting on your Gown (20-30 mins)</b><br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
Brides rarely leave enough time for getting into their dress. Ideally everyone else should be dressed at this point so all the help is focused on you, the bride. It also looks better in your photos if bridesmaids are dressed when they are assisting you. If you have an uncomplicated outfit then it may only take 15 mins, however, if you need to be laced up or have a lot of buttons this can easy extend to 30 mins. Remember, your friends or family are not used getting you in and out of your wedding dress and it takes a lot longer than when you are putting your dress on at a bridal shop with experienced staff to help you.<br />

<b>3. Bridal Party Portraits (30 mins)</b><br />
<b><br /></b>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-a5YvVEA46ak/VDZc9wyjHrI/AAAAAAAADMA/T3NTVe3PXd4/s1600/Abbey%2BHouse%2BGardens-bridal%2Bportraits%2Bblack%2B%26%2Bwhite.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-a5YvVEA46ak/VDZc9wyjHrI/AAAAAAAADMA/T3NTVe3PXd4/s1600/Abbey%2BHouse%2BGardens-bridal%2Bportraits%2Bblack%2B%26%2Bwhite.jpg" /></a></div>
<b><br /></b>
<br />
A few photographs before the ceremony shots of the bride alone and with her family and any bridesmaids or flower girls really help the story-telling of your day. If you are wanting these portraits this is a good time to do them as it also saves time later after the ceremony for any other group shots you may want. If you are running late these are often the shots that get missed as there just simply isn't enough time.<br />
<br />
<b>4. Leaving for the Ceremony/Shots of the Groom (45 mins)</b><br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-cFQMy3XjkEE/VDZeGtTH-4I/AAAAAAAADMI/tRQQ9I1eE_0/s1600/wedding%2Brings.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-cFQMy3XjkEE/VDZeGtTH-4I/AAAAAAAADMI/tRQQ9I1eE_0/s1600/wedding%2Brings.jpg" /></a></div>
<br />
You will need to work out how much time it will take to get to your ceremony based on the distance travelled and time of day. I will aim to leave ahead of you to arrive at the ceremony in good time to capture some shots of the Groom and his best man/groomsmen so you need to factor this in. It also gives me time to capture some detail shots of rings, order of service and the church or ceremony room as well as the arrival of your guests. Its also good to chat with the official in charge of your ceremony to check on any rules for photographing the ceremony even if this has been done in advance (which I recommend so there shouldn't be any unwelcome surprises on the day). If you are having a civil ceremony you will need allow least 15 mins prior to the ceremony to meet with the registrar.<br />
<br />
<b>5. Unplugged Ceremony? </b><br />
<b><br /></b>
<br />

<b><br /></b>
You may want to consider having an unplugged ceremony - that is asking your family and friends to put away their cameras for the duration of the ceremony. If you have hired a professional photographer for your wedding you can be confident they will get the best shots for you. Churches and even some civil ceremony rooms can be dark with difficult lighting. The professional photographer will not be using flash and be posted at a discreet distance to get images of you entering, leaving and during the ceremony (if permitted). Unfortunately sometimes the photos can show everyone behind their camera or iPad (usually getting blurry out of focus shots!) or worse, guests stepping in front of the photographer blocking their shot. An unplugged ceremony creates an atmosphere where everyone is engaged in the ceremony and in the moment with you. There will be plenty of opportunities later in the day for everyone to get a good picture of the two of you.<br />
<br />
<b>6. Exiting the Ceremony (10-15 mins)</b><br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-sNpNHZhLvFI/VDZbzNIg5rI/AAAAAAAADLc/bAmw1walhio/s1600/Confetti%2Bwedding%2Bcouple.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-sNpNHZhLvFI/VDZbzNIg5rI/AAAAAAAADLc/bAmw1walhio/s1600/Confetti%2Bwedding%2Bcouple.jpg" /></a></div>
<br />
You may decide to go straight into a confetti shot before greeting any guests - this does work well in terms of getting this done quickly. If you opt to greet guests first don't be surprised if every guest wants to come and congratulate you and it can be hard to tear yourselves away. In this instance factor in a little more time to get the confetti shot done.<br />
<br />
<b>7. Group Shots (30 mins)</b><br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-5QNhbX3hlVE/VDZmh1CXXoI/AAAAAAAADMo/UirsVyCQeBw/s1600/wedding%2Bheart-shaped%2Bgroup%2Bphoto.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-5QNhbX3hlVE/VDZmh1CXXoI/AAAAAAAADMo/UirsVyCQeBw/s1600/wedding%2Bheart-shaped%2Bgroup%2Bphoto.jpg" /></a></div>
<br />
Most people like a few group shots. If we do them immediately after the confetti shot before your guests have had time to drink lots of champagne and wander off then these can usually be done relatively quickly. Depending on the size of each group, I allow 3-5 mins for each group photograph so 5-7 group shots will likely take up to 30 mins. I like to keep these relaxed and it helps if you have a planned list beforehand and nominate a guest (usually an usher) to assist with finding the next set of folks while I shoot one group. It can get a bit stressful if we have to wait around trying to find people and your day will disappear very quickly. It can be fun to do a big group shot with all your guests although it does need a bit of organising. Talk with your photographer about the possibilities of something special which won't take too long to organise.<br />
<br />
<b>8. Bride & Groom Portraits (2x 30 mins)</b><br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-CBtQTGdVJzA/VDZn3cgMfXI/AAAAAAAADM8/sLSfW6n6s00/s1600/Bride%2Band%2BGroom.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-CBtQTGdVJzA/VDZn3cgMfXI/AAAAAAAADM8/sLSfW6n6s00/s1600/Bride%2Band%2BGroom.jpg" /></a></div>
<br />
This is the time I have alone with you to get the best shots of the day. I like to grab you for 20-30 mins after the group shots and allow you time with each other - believe me you'll need this space together, and I get some wonderful intimate shots of the two of you. I take you out again after dinner or later in the evening if its summer to make best use of the evening light (the "golden hour") which is so flattering. The two sessions are very different and really give you some gorgeous imagery. I also bring in a little creative lighting if possible during the later session for something different. Obviously I'd like to have the most time possible with you to get the best shots - the longer you can spare the more we can do in making the most of your venue and getting some really special photographs.<br />
<br />
<b>9. Drinks on the Lawn (1.5 hours min)</b><br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-n9tLKk7XMGE/VDZmheOn-oI/AAAAAAAADMk/4abCNdTtD1w/s1600/drinks%2Bon%2Bthe%2Blawn.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-n9tLKk7XMGE/VDZmheOn-oI/AAAAAAAADMk/4abCNdTtD1w/s1600/drinks%2Bon%2Bthe%2Blawn.jpg" /></a></div>
<br />
Given your photography will take around 1.5 hours (confetti, formals, B&G, candids) you need your reception drinks to last at least this long plus any added time you want with your guests.<br />
<br />
<b>10. Sitting down for dinner (15-30mins)</b><br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-AnVNHCq0p84/VDZmiJkO6-I/AAAAAAAADMs/HP_88IEHfRY/s1600/Anyho%2Bpark%2Bwedding%2Breception.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-AnVNHCq0p84/VDZmiJkO6-I/AAAAAAAADMs/HP_88IEHfRY/s1600/Anyho%2Bpark%2Bwedding%2Breception.jpg" /></a></div>
<br />
Allow 15 minutes for guests to be seated for an average sized wedding. If you are doing a receiving line allow longer. I will always ensure all photography is finished in time for your wedding breakfast so your caterers are not kept waiting. If you think you might need flexibility on timings or if you don't want to cut short photos if you're running late then talk with your caterers and they will advise if this is an option. Dinner will normally be 1-1.5 hours but again your caterers will advise you. No photographs are taken during the dinner (no one looks good eating!) and after shooting solidly for up to 6 hours, I will be in need of a break and refreshment before the speeches.<br />
<br />
<b>11. Speeches (30-45 mins)</b><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-0WjY0Ai3pNk/VDZ-lss79BI/AAAAAAAADNs/cOAwjo-whPw/s1600/parents%2Bduring%2Bspeeches.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-0WjY0Ai3pNk/VDZ-lss79BI/AAAAAAAADNs/cOAwjo-whPw/s1600/parents%2Bduring%2Bspeeches.jpg" /></a></div>
<br />
You may opt to have speeches before the meal - a good option if your speakers are very nervous about speaking and want to get it over with so they can enjoy their meal - or after your guests have eaten. Get your speakers to practice beforehand so they know how long it will take - speeches can run late, especially if the best man has had a lot to drink…..<br />
<br />
<b>12. Turning the room around for your party (30-45 mins)</b><br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-Ehn3Zkhlscc/VDZby6Rf1tI/AAAAAAAADLY/lhmkt4PpyqQ/s1600/Golden%2Bhour%2Bwedding%2Bphotography.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-Ehn3Zkhlscc/VDZby6Rf1tI/AAAAAAAADLY/lhmkt4PpyqQ/s1600/Golden%2Bhour%2Bwedding%2Bphotography.jpg" /></a></div>
<br />
Allow 30-45 mins for any changes to the room to prepare for your evening do. Guests will usually have coffee or drinks in another room while this is done and is a good opportunity to do the evening B&G portraits (20-30 mins). If your venue grounds are quite extensive or you want to go off-site for these shots (e.g. nearby cornfield) then allow plenty of time before the cake cutting.<br />
<br />
<b>13. Cutting the Cake (10 mins)</b><br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-xog1rjEowsk/VDZyqZYPhcI/AAAAAAAADNU/yDVjNt8biHc/s1600/cutting%2Bwedding%2Bcake.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-xog1rjEowsk/VDZyqZYPhcI/AAAAAAAADNU/yDVjNt8biHc/s1600/cutting%2Bwedding%2Bcake.jpg" /></a></div>
<br />
The cake is most often cut once the evening guests have arrived and it usually swiftly followed by the first dance. Request your venue to put the cake in a suitable place - away from unsightly fire extinguishers and poor lighting. I like to shoot with guests in the background if possible. The actual photography only takes a few minutes but it can take awhile to get guests organised ready to cut the cake.<br />
<br />
<b>14. First Dance (10 mins)</b><br />
<b><br /></b>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-3OQ8Zg3YBDw/VDZoguRBFnI/AAAAAAAADNE/NjbB3pNzMeE/s1600/first%2Bdance%2Bspread.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-3OQ8Zg3YBDw/VDZoguRBFnI/AAAAAAAADNE/NjbB3pNzMeE/s1600/first%2Bdance%2Bspread.jpg" /></a></div>
<b><br /></b>
The first dance follows soon after - try to give your photographer 5-10 mins after cutting the cake to adjust camera settings as the lights are usually turned down at this point. Any off-camera lighting will have been set up prior to the cake cutting. Again I like to shoot with your guests behind you and if you plan to invite others to join you on the dance floor its worth waiting a good 2-3 minutes to give yourselves time to relax and capture a great first dance shot. If the dance floor stays full I will usually stay and get a few shots of guests dancing too.<br />
<br />

Your wedding should be an amazing day that you will remember for the rest of your lives - don't worry about the little things that may go wrong. This is a day about the two of you celebrating with the people that mean most to you. Hopefully this information will help in planning your day and getting the shots you want. Remember to discuss with your photographer any special or unusual photography requests you may have so they are prepared on the day. And two people in love on their wedding day always makes a good photo come rain or shine!<br />

<br />
<br />
All my packages include a disk/USB of images from the day (350+ images) and at their viewing they chose a selection of photographs to be printed in their album. It can be hard to limit the choice (and many clients do end up adding a few additional pages to their album) but the process I guide them through enables them to select their favourites and tell the story of their day without omissions or duplication. <br />

<br />
<br />
While wedding blogs are full of delicious details to inspire your wedding, your album is about the two of you, your family and guests - no-one needs 10 images of flowers and shoes in their album no matter how beautiful they are!<br />
<br />

<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<br />
<br />
The design of the album is important as the size and layout of each image affects how the viewer interacts with the story and how the photographs impact the viewer with the emotion.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-gQS31sYtSKU/VC0ZxpnzIXI/AAAAAAAADIk/g9jda6StL1o/s1600/First%2Bdance%2Bwedding%2Balbum.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-gQS31sYtSKU/VC0ZxpnzIXI/AAAAAAAADIk/g9jda6StL1o/s1600/First%2Bdance%2Bwedding%2Balbum.jpg" /></a></div>
<br />
<br />
Each album has a bespoke design based on the selected images and the client always sees a proof of their album before it is printed with the opportunity to make any further changes if they wish. Usually very minor changes are made as they process I use really helps get these decisions right early on. <br />
<br />

<br />
Consequently I don't have clients a year on from their wedding still trying to choose their photographs and my couples can enjoy their album with their favourite images making them smile and cry, time after time.<br />

On the day of our pre-wedding shoot they were at great pains to tell me how unphotogenic they both were - something which I actually hear quite a lot from prospective Bride & Grooms.<br />
<br />
Of course this turned out not to be the case and happily after viewing their shoot they booked me to photograph their wedding. For most people, their wedding is their first experience with a professional photographer. Despite the plethora of "great cameras" everywhere these days, its often not until people experience being photographed correctly can they truly appreciate how good they can look in print. Of course the skill lies with the art of photography rather than the camera (although a good camera is a great help in darkly lit churches and venues!). I always feel it is such a shame when couples decide against a professional wedding photographer as they believe they don't photograph well - sadly if this job is left to an untrained eye then the imagery they get on their wedding day is likely to re-enforce this view.<br />
<br />
Natalie and Mark were married in May this year on what turned out to be a rather blustery day, but we were lucky that the day stayed dry as it looked like we might have been in for a downpour! Natalie looked beautiful in her lace-trimmed dress which showed off her very slim figure amazingly. The Abbey House Gardens is a lovely wedding venue, the wisteria was in full bloom and it was a pleasure to share their day with them. This was such an elegant wedding to photograph incorporating sage green and white colour scheme, and lots of fun too with its pretty vintage styled details and amusing wedding speeches. I hope you enjoy the photos of this photogenic couple!<br />

Too good an opportunity to miss, I headed up there with with Eddie and his mum for a few photos amongst the brilliant red colour. I tried a slightly different approach to my usual shoots here - more emphasis on the posing to camera. Let me know what you think of the results in the comments below. It was hard work for little Eddie but he did really well, especially considering how hot it was.<br />

Photographing children in natural locations gives a strong link to their (and often your) childhood memories of favourite places spent with their family. It also allows them to relax and be themselves in a familiar environment. As a children's photographer this gives me wide scope to capture lots of images with them. If you are looking for some great natural portraits of your children in the countryside then consider a location shoot. More information is available on my <a href="http://www.judicheckettsphotography.com/">website</a> or <a href="mailto:judi.checketts@gmail.com">email me</a> for further details.<br />

We have been lucky in this beautiful rural area where I live to have seen the poppies come into flower around Faringdon Folly. Its the first time I have seen the poppies flower in this spot - others who have lived here longer tell me the same - although I have seen images of them so I know the poppies do flower here. Perhaps someone can enlighten me as to why they don't flower up here every year. They look so fabulous - it really had to be my image of the week. If you get chance do go up and take a walk around the Folly and enjoy the red spectacle - it makes a perfect summer evening wander and the poppies will be gone all too soon.<br />

I was delighted to offer a prize for the children's entry for a 30 mins portrait session and complimentary mounted print from the session.<br />
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
The winner was Ben Haines with his lovely black and white image of his dog Darcy.</div>

Ben choose to have his photo session with Darcy as his prize and we finished the session with a photograph with all his siblings. Here are a few images from the session taken last summer:</div>

Hats Whiskers is owned and run by Sarah Main and Sarah has the most amazing range of beautiful hats for clients looking for something special to wear at a wedding or Ascot race day. It was a fun day assisted by model Sarah Tarelton who was fanastic to photograph and fashion advice from Zoe Souter. <br />
<br />
Here's one of my favourites from the day - although to be honest it was hard to pick just one. More to follow later or visit Sarah's <a href="https://www.facebook.com/HatsWhiskers?ref=ts&fref=ts">Facebook page </a> for more information on hire or purchasing from her range of hats and fascinators.<br />

<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-wQUfS6A0DwU/U1o-5wBmVmI/AAAAAAAAC4g/SOLw3wTbCnI/s1600/IMG_6479.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-wQUfS6A0DwU/U1o-5wBmVmI/AAAAAAAAC4g/SOLw3wTbCnI/s1600/IMG_6479.jpg" /></a></div>
<br />
<br />
These gorgeous products are the bright idea of Andrea Dennis - lifestyle photographer and owner of Foxglove Fine Art Folios. As a photographer herself Andrea has designed these Folios with the customer very much in mind and are suitable for displaying your favourite images of your children, family or wedding.<br />
<br />
Each image is printed as a fine art photograph and mounted into a double or triple Folio and available in 3 sizes: 6 inch, 9 inch or 13 inch (size represents one side of the Folio). They can also be a lovely way to display your engagement photographs or make great presents for your parents/grandparents.<br />
<br />
<br />

<br />
<br />
<br />
The linen covers are available in a range of colours - suitable to coordinate with any home. By careful choice of your cover you can really create an impact on your photographs. I used Nixie - a mid-blue tone which co-ordinated beautifully with the colours in these wedding images and really emphasised the colours in the grooms kilt.<br />

I'm introducing this product initially for my wedding clients and forms part of the new digital package for clients who do not wish to have a wedding album and is available now. It comes with a matching DVD case which holds all the images from your day in hi-res and lo-res formats - allowing you to both print your own photographs and share images online. <br />

During a wedding I am a story-teller; looking for all the elements that tell the story of the day and part of that job is to capture the changing emotions …anticipation, excitement, pride, joy etc Its also a day when a few tears can be shed, usually in happiness but also as here during the speeches when the father-of-the-bride made a very emotional speech about his late wife, the bride's mother. His words were very moving and I had to compose myself so I didn't get misty-eyed and miss this poignant moment.</div>

Sue has run the business for the last 10+ years and many brides will have bought their wedding dress for their special day from her and experienced her great customer service. I have had the pleasure of getting to know Sue over the last couple of years and we worked together on a couple of styled shoots and frequently enjoyed a natter when I popped into her shop. Unfortunately due to health problems Sue has decided to retire and her knowledge and experience of the wedding business will be greatly missed by all, but I wish her well in her retirement and this next exciting chapter of her life.<br />
<br />
For these reasons today's image of the week is specially chosen from a lovely shoot we at Merriscourt, a fabulous Cotswold wedding venue. Organised by Jeni Crabb of Vanilla Rose Weddings & Events this is one of my favourites and shows off the lovely wedding dresses Sue provided for the day.<br />

It's always nice working with friends and their families so when I was up in York last year I met up with Polly during her university holidays to take some images for her portfolio. Here's a selection of what we shot.<br />

I often run mini-lifestyle sessions in Autumn for clients wanting to get an update of images of their children. The sessions are much shorter than the full lifestyle shoot but can work well for those who are looking for a great Christmas gift. This session was bought for Sharon and Bobby as a Christmas present and they were able to enjoy a lovely woodland shoot and select 4 great images to be printed.<br />
<br />
Their daughter Katie has modelled for me before and so it was lovely this time to be able to do a shoot of the whole family together.<br />

Today's image is from a shoot I did a while ago - I'm preparing some images for my professional qualifications and in doing so revisiting some older images for evaluation. This one was taken during a shoot I did to raise money for a charity - and as with most shoots of toddlers they tend to do their own thing a lot of the time and you are watching and waiting to capture a unique moment. This was taken near the end of the session and the little boy was holding a dandelion when he decided to turn and run away from me. Knowing I didn't have much time it was a rare occasion when I quickly flicked the settings to auto to capture the moment. As many Mum's of small boys will tell you - this capture's perfectly what we see of our young children so much of the time and so provides a timeless image and memory.<br />

It was during those lovely warm summer days we had and we headed over to Stanton Fitzwarren and the lovely park area and lake for our shoot. With a great variety of backdrops around this location it made it perfect for getting some lovely natural images of the children. <br />

This lady is not a model but the pose and lighting are extremely flattering. It creates a slimming effect and the eye is drawn to the curves of her body. <br />

Boudoir shoots are highly popular with women of all ages from brides-to-be as a wedding gift to their husbands, to the older woman celebrating her body for herself. It can be a very powerful and empowering experience which gives you great images of yourself to last a lifetime. I love these sessions and if you are interested in a boudoir shoot please get in touch for more information.<br />

They got married on the hottest day of last year and as they came out of the church the heat was sweltering and so instead of fighting with bright sunshine and getting hot and sweaty we headed off to some cool country lanes and cornfields for their romantic couple shots before their reception at Cold Harbour Barn near Wantage. It was a beautiful wedding at East Hendred church and Curly looked fabulous in her wedding dress and Chris and his best man in their kilts. Foxgloves and Roses provided the flowers for the day to match the simple elegant charm of this wedding. Please forgive the indulgence of so many images but there were just so many beautiful images from this day.<br />

Curly and Chris chose to have their photographs printed in a beautiful Folio Fine Art album to preserve the memories of their wedding day as well as a lovely multi-frame to hang on their walls.<br />
<br />
If you're planning your wedding or are newly engaged and already thinking about your photography as an important part of your day do get in touch as I'd love to discuss more about my wedding services with you. All packages come with a complimentary engagement session which includes a printed 8x6" photograph. More information about my packages and further examples of work can be viewed <a href="http://www.judicheckettsphotography.com/">online</a>.<br />
