The worst kept secret EVER!!!

I have been itching to write this post, to edit these photos, to share this day. Back in August my lovely friend Kitty Kat had a Christening for her son Benjamen; Oh, and also decided to "tie the knot" too. This getting married part was supposed to be a surprise for the majority of the guests, I'm not sure how true that was on the day.

I've know Kat for over 10 years now. She's loud and in your face, opinionated, balshy and tough. She's quick to laugh and not shy to laugh at herself. She is also one of the most loyal people I have ever known. When Kat loves, she does it like she does everything in life: in capital letters. She's the kind of friend that is always there when needed, no matter how much time has passed between calls. She'll kick the ass of anyone who hurts those she cares about. For all of her balshy attitude, I know that there was a phase in her life when she'd given up on finding a guy that could match her. Then she met James.

I'm sorry to say, I don't know James as well as I should, but I know all I need to know. He loves Kat, for who she is, unconditionally. You can see it when he looks at her. And Kat is happy. Happier than I've ever seen her, since James came along. And for all her cover-ups of her "girly" side, I know she loves him. In fact, I know she LOVES him.

When Kat told me about the Christening and Wedding and asked me to take some photos, I jumped at the chance. I couldn't wait to capture this day for her. The ceremony was PERFECTLY Kat and James.

Kitty Kat, thank-you for letting me be the one to capture this day for you! I LOVE you right back honey!

Lomax wedding

I'm taking a break from editing to share just a few pictures from Sally and Adrian's wedding. :)

They got married back in August, and have been VERY patient (in fact they've been model clients) with me whilst I've been ill. I was worried at one point that I wasn't even going to be able to shoot the wedding!! Thank goodness for Gary, who drove me around and did everything he could to make the day easier for me. All I had to do was point my camera and shoot. :)

I'm now pushing through the editing with the aim of getting an album design together this afternoon. I use Kiss Wedding books and their SWAT designer for the albums. I CANNOT recommend this company highly enough. If you're getting married any time soon, even if you don't choose me to do your photos, speak to your photographer and get them to look at the Kiss system! 

Anyway, back to Sally and Ady. I was honoured to be part of their wedding day. They are a beautiful couple, and beautiful people inside and out. I mean, COME ON! How GORGE are these two?!



Anyone who knows Sally will tell you that she's somewhat of a perfectionist and her obsessive attention to detail was evident throughout the wedding. Her dress was amazing, but I'm gonna tease you with only one little picture. ;)


Though, when you see Adrian's reaction to seeing Sally in her dress for the first time, you just know how amazingly stunning she looked:


That face is all *cat that got the cream*!! ;)

Sally did fantastically at not crying, despite several hairy moments throughout the day:


Though Ady helped by nervously fluffing his lines 


The rings were just as lovely, and that attention to detail came through again, each one is inscribed inside. Sally's with Mrs Lomax and Ady's with Mr Lomax. Doesn't that just make your heart melt a little?!




And of course, I couldn't post a blog about the wedding without a picture of Sally and Ady's adorable son, Oliver. He was very camera shy throughout the day, but I got a couple of him playing around. And he was an excellent photographers assistant, telling everyone to "cheese"! 


Sally, Ady I hope you like the little preview. I CANNOT wait to show you the rest of the pictures.
