Pop ‘n’ Bics, Lush Cake Pops & Biscuits, Wymondham, Norfolk

You know you’ve made it as a wedding photographer when you get sent samples of lush sweet treats through the post without even asking for them.  My work is done. I can now retire having achieved my ultimate goal.

I met Kayleigh back in October at  Heidi and Stephens wedding at the gorgeous Southwood Hall.  She made an amazing collection of cake pops that looked as good as they tasted.  Ever since I have had my eyes glued to her facebook page and blossoming website.  Gotta go check it out.

Now back to what the postman kindly delivered from Sassa’s Pops ‘n’ Bics.   I often like to cover all the bases and re-write the fundamental rules of calorie intake.  If, you leave any chocolaty treats in a fruit bowl for longer than five minutes they automatically turn in to one of your five a day… fact!

“What the heck is that next to the box?” you may be wondering.  Mum has just returned from the Seychelles (where my all year round tan comes from) and that is a Seychellois avocado.  To give a sense of scale, it’s the size of a small baby!:-)  You’ve not tasted fruit until you’ve been over there!

I won’t say anything more about the pop cake balls & mini iced biscuits, they were a lovely surprise in the box.  LUSH! Thank-you Kayleigh.  Added to the e-brochure immediately with that good behaviour!!

Below are a couple of snaps from Heidi & Stephens wedding ‘table of loveliness’.

Andrew & Lydia, In Love, Prewedding Photography Shoot, Burgh Castle, Norfolk

This afternoon was spent with Lydia & Andrew down at a slushy Burgh Castle, nr Gt Yarmouth.   We spent an hour having a walk around the area to catch some snuggling and cuddling photo’s ahead of their wedding at Fritton House in just over a months time.  Effortless with these guys, perhaps because Lydia is Lynsey’s cousin, or maybe because they can’t keep their hands off each other and are so head over heels In Love!

Bella ‘my’ Model – Lifestyle Family Photography, Gorleston, Norfolk

What a lovely day!  What a lovely day for taking photographs!  What a lovely day for taking photographs on a beach!  What a lovely day for taking photographs on a beach with a little model!  What a lovely day for taking photographs on a beach with a little model and getting a goody bag stuffed full of chocolate and biscuits!

:-)

Now that the wedding season for 2011 is well behind us I’ve been spending time doing little bits of admin and ticking jobs off the to do list that have been sat there for an eternity.  Updating my lifestyle brochure is one of those jobs.  I thought it would be nice to have a picture of a cute little girl on a beach to compliment the brochure so in stepped Bella™ from a family shoot last year!

What I love so much about this set is how uncomplicated it is.  Very simple photography doing what I love the most.  Capturing a little personality.  We had fun playing pass James the stones and in this 15minute power session down at Gorleston got some wicked shots for me, and hopefully, mum & dad too!

For photographers: Session was shot with Canon 5dmk2′s, 50 1.2 L and the 135 2 L

She’s lush. I love her!

One of the funniest moments was watching Jade have to wake sleeping beauty up. So funny I nearly wet myself, and was unable to take photos of the actual waking up ordeal!

Norfolk Wedding Photography Updated E-Brochure

Happy 2012, Happy Christmas, Happy everything!!

I concentrated on spending time with Lynz & Mya as well as catching up with many friends over the Christmas period! Yep I managed to almost not pick up the camera once!!

I love photography and as a profession wouldn’t swap it for anything in the world, but spending time with family and friends trumps it and makes me even happier!

Enough of sentimental stuff – it’s back to the grindstone to plough on with work now!! Wedding number 1 for 2012 is already just over a couple of weeks away and with 40 already in the diary it looks like 2012 is going to be another busy busy year!!

I’ve just finished updating my Wedding electronic brochure with images from last year. Have a peak before it gets linked up on the main website.  Head down and time to get the family one and couples InLove shoots together too!

Come back, add a comment and let me know you think!

Thanks everyone for making 2011 such a wicked year!! All the best with luck and happiness to make 2012 great for you!!
