The Royal Wedding was a great day for me, being a romantic, and seeing real romance in the royal family for the first time was really refreshing. My Auntie Dorothy invited me and Mum and my god mother and cousins over to share the day. Had to share some of the images of the fab food and my family.

 Lucy just about coping with the camera in her face throughout the ceremony!
 Gareth tolerating the photographer in the family, sorry.

“Blessing of the Hands", revised by Rev. Daniel L. Harris

These are the hands of your best friend, young and strong and full of love for you, that are holding yours on your wedding day as you promise to love each other today, tomorrow and forever.

These are the hands that will work along side yours as together you build your future.

These are the hands that will passionately love you and cherish you through the years, and with the slightest touch will comfort you like no other.

These are the hands that will hold you when fear or grief temporarily comes your way.

These are the hands that will countless times wipe the tears from your eyes, tears of sorrow and tears of joy.

These are the hands that will tenderly hold your children.

These are the hands that will give you support and encouragement to chase down your dreams.

These are the hands that will hold you tight as you struggle through difficult times.

These are the hands that will give you strength when you need it.

These are the hands that will lift your chin and brush your cheek as they raise your face to look into eyes that are filled with overwhelming love for you.

And lastly, these are the hands that even when wrinkled and aged will still be reaching for yours, still giving you the same unspoken tenderness with just a touch.

It's been such a busy week with the magazine deadline looming, but I still found the time to go on an inspirational course with Aspire training. The course was with Jessica Claire, the most amazing American wedding photographer. Complete inspiration from start to finish. Here are my fave images, enjoy! x
PS - Vintage cross processing overload, I know, but couldn't resist.
















Jessica, this was my shot you asked us to post, light not great but I love the composition.
