The Melias & Everitts – Family Photography {Eaton Park, Norwich, Norfolk}

Last Sunday I spent a few hours in the afternoon with the Melias & Everitts in a very busy Eaton park.

A bank holiday weekend with good weather is normally less likely than spotting Elvis shopping down the high street!  We made sure we took advantage and got some lovely shots.

People travelled from ends of the country to make the shoot and have some fun in the park… here’s a small selection from the session!

Effortless work… you all look fab!!

Vicki Huckle - Amazing pictures James, and great inspiration for my shoot on Sunday – a family of 14 too! Thank you thank you!!

The Best Day Ever

Regular followers of the blog or facebook fan page may be wondering what’s been going on since my last post (almost a whole month ago!!). I’ve had my hands full, literally…. ever since the 18th of April.

Here’s a little slideshow…

Maxine Maddison - Very special!
Did Lindsay shout at you at any point to put the camera away? x

Vicky Saul - Stunning. Absolutely beautiful. Congratulations x

Dean Govier - Super huge congrats. Nice to see the proud Dad in there @ 7.10. Great work, i’d imagine that you were shooting through a very blury viewfinder!

James - cheers Dean mate. hope you’re good…. you must be working too hard as I haven’t seem to have seen much of you on UKWP lately!

James - Unbelievably I managed to escape labour without one swear word thrown at me. I think I intuatively knew where the line was and kept well back :-)

Chris & Sarah Mower – Wedding Photography {Timbers Hotel, Norfolk}

Yesterday I had the pleasure and it really was a pleasure of photographing the wedding for Chris & Sarah over at the Timbers Hotel, Fincham, Norfolk.  The Day was perfect from start to finish and one of the most chilled and relaxed weddings that I’m ever likely to cover…. so chilled in fact that Chris was still in his casuals laughing, having a pint showing no sign of stress at 2.20pm with the wedding ceremony due to start at 3.00pm!

As you’ll see below, Sarah “I don’t like having my picture taken” looked STUNNING! and together these guys suit as a relaxed natural couple.  The ceremony was attended by 50 nearest and dearest and they were later joined by additional guests a little later in the evening.

Charlie and her team at the Timbers done an awesome job!  The food was DEElicious and the sunset that was ordered for the day was spot on!

Some added nerves from me as Lynsey is ready to  pop with our first little bambino.  I couldn’t have done it without good friend Matthew Child www.mattehewjoesph.co.uk coming to second shoot and standby as my equal incase I had to run off!

Because of the impending Baby, this is my first and last wedding for April – hold tight for May when the seasons get’s going for me big time! 

Guys – I had an awesome time!  Here’s a few more sneaks than usual but hey – it’s my only wedding for 5 weeks!! See ya when you’re back off honeymoon! xx

Michelle, Rhys, Kyra & Baby Max – Family Photography {Cantley, Norwich, Norfolk}

It was a ‘little’ bit wet but the show went on!  I spent a couple of hours with Michelle and the kids on Saturday afternoon.  After a week of gorgeous weather it was typically dull and drizzly.  That didn’t curb the enthusiasm from Rhys and Kyra to get on their garden trampoline to show off their wet acrobatic skills!

The shoot was won way back at the end of last  year in conjunction with the Southwood Hall promo shots.  The phrase “I never win anything” can’t be used in the future for Michelle now.

After having my weekly shower ahead of schedule we were back inside with their new baby brother, 3 week old Max.

Great fun.  I enjoy taking pictures come wind, rain, shine or snow!  Here’s a slection of some of the pics below!

undefinedLove Kyras cheeky little face.  Couple her pose with the little garden chair and the rain in the background – I love it!

Ashley, Jade & Poppie – Family Photography {Fritton Woods, Norfolk}

I spent this afternoon together with the gorgeous Poppie, Mum & Dad for a stroll around Fritton Woods.  Afterwards we headed home for a mini shoot in some cute little outfits.  A perfect little family unit!

Poppie was dressed in ‘the most pretty’ little dress with white jacket and was a natural little poser with a beautiful beaming smile.

Ashley & Jade will be guests at at least two weddings I’m shooting next year so watch out for some more shots!

Here is a small selection from the day… hope you like the teasers guys! x
