Weddings

I had a very busy weekend last weekend, thanks to two weddings in three days. One of them was a last minute booking, after the couple's original photographer bailed on them with less than a week to go. It's that kind of behaviour that reminds me that some photographers can be real idiots, and how important confidence in your photographer can be on the big day.

Anyway, thanks to the bank holidays and easter breaks, I've been able to process the photos in double quick time, so here's a little taster. I'll get the discs sent out to Sarah & Aaron and Sarah & Ed this week. I hope they like them!

Anyway, to kick things off, I've entered another portrait prize in Black and White Photography magazine. The prize is a studio lighting kit, which I would love to have.

Anyway, my four entries are these:
