The Haldon Belvedere, Exeter, a photographers dream location. So we were so happy to be photographing Naomi and James wedding there yesterday.

The fact this watch tower stands alone in the middle of the countryside, just makes it more impressive. The fish eye lens came into its own here, and looking at the photographs very very late last night when we got home, we were very pleased with the results.

James such a lovely man was game for anything and climbed the countless stairs not once but twice to take in the view ( and for the photographs, naturally) and Naomi, bless her, didn’t really like the whole height thing, but did it, just the once though, as she so wanted her photos taken up there too.

The guests enjoyed champagne and wine in the stunning grounds surrounded by woods and we enjoyed capturing the happy moments.

Naomi looked amazing in her ivory satin dress with train and veil and the fuchsia pink gerberas added a touch of amazing colour to it all.

The Devon Hotel was the next stop for the wedding breakfast, and the coordinator looked after us so well, he was just great, thank you Simon !

Naomi and James, fantastic day, all the best, you are going to love the photographs!

As the evenings are getting chillier it will only be another six weeks or so when the manic busy wedding season will come to the end, winters are of course quieter. Usually this fills me with a tinge of sadness, as there’s nothing better for a photographer to be constantly busy and inspired all the time. This year however I am excited. This spring and summer has been so busy, we haven’t had a moment to up date our on-line gallery or our portfolios and  we have taken some of our best work yet this year. I cant wait to have the time to go through our hundreds of photographs and print up the ones we love and get our albums ready for the next lot of brides and grooms we will be meet.

Its going to be a massive job, but I cant wait. We also want to print up some different ‘art-book’ albums for that bride and groom that want something totally unique. Again this will be a massive project for us, we just to get the time to do it…..

Then, and only then I might get round to printing up some of my amazing photos and I taken of my beautiful children!

working day and night for the last few weeks has brought us totally up to date on the albums.

Its been such a busy summer of weddings, wonderful, but busy and the bookings are flooding in for next year now as well.

Ohhhhh what a lucky day. As my my super-dooper lens arrived AND my new camera bag, big enough to hold my super-dooper lens! Lucky me!
