A big thank you to all the clients we have had the pleasure of working with in 2012! Happy New Year!

Yesterday we had the pleasure of attending the Love Luxe Blog launch party at Goldney Hall in Bristol.  A styled event showcasing some of the most talented suppliers in the wedding industry.

There were so many beautiful details to photograph, table settings, styled garden set ups and delicious drinks and canapes all in the beautiful gardens and Orangery of Goldney Hall.

There were models in a range of dresses and accessories to shoot throughout the afternoon. It was great to catch up with familiar faces, meet local wedding industry suppliers and make new friends.

In the evening we went to Bocabar at Paintworks for some drinks to catch up with fellow photographers and suppliers who had helped make this wonderful event.

Thanks to Rosie, Lee and everyone we chatted to on the day, we had a wonderful time and congratulations on your new blog!  

We recommend you to add Love Luxe Blog to your google reader, for beautiful inspirational wedding styling and party planning.

We had the pleasure of attending the Flight of the Folio Tour & meeting Stewart Randall, a photographer and the man behind one of our Album suppliers, Folio Albums.

It was a really helpful day, where we got to have a look at the complete product range that Folio offer, find out about Folio's journey so far and their plans for the future.  It was good to see the latest additions to Folio's products and to see prototypes for new ones.

It was so good to meet Stewart in person and to hear his advice and passion for both photography & Folio Albums.

Scott and I stayed pretty much all day chatting to other photographers in the sun and playing with the Fuji x-pro1, which Stewart had kindly bought along!  Van Outen (the camper van) was so cosy, I could have stayed in their all day!

Here are a few snaps we took whilst there:

One of our lovely couples, Karen & Dougie have been entered into Your Hampshire & Dorset Wedding of the Year Competition.  

You can see their wedding at Stockbridge Farm Barn by clicking on their blog feature.

Karen & Dougie had a rustic country wedding, full of personal touches.  One of the best things about the day was that they got to see friends and family from around the globe.

If you think they deserve the chance to win a romantic weekend at The Aviator Hotel in Farnborough then please vote for them by clicking the page below!

If Karen & Dougie win they get to stay at The Aviator Hotel in Farnborough, Hampshire and spend an indulgent  romantic weekend together.
