ZACH & FRANKI.

More and more recently I've been enjoying making little videos. As I'm sure I've mentioned before it is something that I like to do, mainly selfishly, so that I can look back on a day and relive all the moments I remember or may not have remembered. Something we have been doing for years as a family is watching back old home videos and reminiscing on hilarious moments that probably would have been forgotten without a camera being around. Not only do I love watching back the few short films I've made over the past few years but I really love the process of putting them together. It is by no way something that I consider myself skilled out and the clips are often far from perfect technically but I appreciate the challenge and the chance to improve with each one and as imperfect as they may be, they are still memories worth keeping.

Last month my big brother got married! It was such a fun day, I loved it a lot. Naturally, I couldn't resist capturing a little bit of it so here are about 5 minutes of Mr &Mrs Roberts wedding day.

Last weekend two of my lovely friends got married! They asked me to make a little video of the day which I was honoured (and nervous) to do. I've made a couple of little films here and there just for fun and for me to be able to look back on a few fun days or weeks I've had. This felt like a big deal seeing as it wasn't just for me but for one of the biggest days ever for these two and I knew there would be more people watching it then usual but...it was actually great! After I got over this, I enjoyed myself especially seeing as I got to play professional with my super talented best friend who was actually photographing the wedding. I loved looking back over all of the footage when editing this together and being able to see all the moments that may have been forgotten. 

Matt and Hannah, thanks for letting me be a part of this day. It really was as fun as it looked and I could have made this video a whole lot longer! Praying for the best start to your marriage and I'm so excited that you're staying so close by.

THE MARSONS.

I'm finally having some holiday! I've been loving hanging out with best friends this week and will shortly be flying to France to enjoy a week in the sun(?), especially as summer seems to have well and truly finished here in England. I wanted to sneak a quick post in before I go as it has been quiet over here.

This past weekend my little sister got married and it was such a wonderful day. A lot of laughter, dancing and joy was going on and I loved being part of it all. I didn't taken any pictures on the big day as I knew so may other people would be and I was enjoying myself too much to keep getting my camera out. The day before they had a small legal ceremony with immediate family and below are some pictures from just after it had finished. 

 THE HAPPY COUPLE.

 REUNITED. YAY!

A WINCHESTER WEDDING.

Guess what? I went to another wedding! This time it was to see my incredible friend Tash get married. The wedding was held at her family home and in the tiny village church next door and it was beautiful...something about it felt very 'Father of the Bride'. The day started with an unexpected pre-ceremony chat with the bride, went on to incredible canapés (we may have followed certain caterers around to ensure we tasted each one) and a marquee filled with beautiful white flowers. We finished the night with a LOT of dancing, too many cupcakes and a send off in the rain. A pretty great night.

THE END.

Speaking of weddings, my little sister is getting married this weekend and I'm SO ready to celebrate with everyone and top up on family time. My beyond talented best friend and creator of the new EVERTHINEphotography is snapping the pictures, a massive bonus for me. It will be beautiful I just know it.

I am very ready for a few weeks break from work. Let my summer holiday commence....

ELLERIE&NATHAN.

Firstly sorry for the lack of posts last week.
Secondly I intended for this post to be a selection of photos from throughout this month as I felt like I had loads of random ones to share.... actually most turned out to be either of food or from this wedding! So here we are.

Towards the end if last week I travelled down to Kent to see a friend that I was at university with get married. It was a beautiful day, so sunny and lots of fun. Congratulations Mr and Mrs Bakewell!

ELIZABETH & ALEX.

Yesterday a friend of mine got married! I've known Lizzie since I was about nine years old and it was so good to be part of her day yesterday. Both Liz and Alex didn't stop beaming and there was a lot of joy and laughter alongside thought-out details making the day so personal. It started out with a small church service followed by bagpipes and confetti, teepees, catching  up with old friends,  a live soul band, roasting marshmallows and finally fireworks and sparklers.

WILD FLOWERS AND TARTAN.
