As Autumn approaches...

August may be at an end but wedding season is still in full flow! September is a very popular month to get married. I'll be busy driving to shoot weddings in Yately, Chilworth, Beaminster, and Larmer Tree Gardens to name but a few of our couples' stunning Autumn wedding venues!

Thrilled to see Charlie and Simon's wedding feature as a Real Wedding in the new issue of Your Hampshire and Dorset Wedding magazine! Such a lovely couple and a truly beautiful wedding...followed by fun and games at their post wedding party 4 weeks later!

I am also thrilled to see one of my 2012 wedding couples in the 'Your Wedding' magazine county-wide special editorial on engagement shoots. Jamie and Claire are both dancers and we had a huge amount of fun on their shoot, despite the drizzle, the black clouds and low temperatures...there's nothing quite like a boogie to warm you up!

New addition to my family!

Not exactly photography related but something I want to share!

Today I became a Grandma for the first time (at the age of 44!) when my son Ben and his partner Lizzy had their first child.

Mya Honey Burridge was born at 1pm on 3rd August, 2 weeks early and weighing in at 6lbs 8oz.

I am absolutely THRILLED to welcome my beautiful new granddaughter into this wonderful exciting world!

As you may have guessed, she is destined to be the most photographed baby ever!

Sunshine, rain, hailstorms and beautiful brides!

I'm amazed how quickly the time is passing by this year - it seems like it was only last week that the winter wedding fayre season was in full swing!

June and July brought us the usual mixture of weather conditions to deal with...from soaring temperatures and clear blue skies to cooler days with torrential rain. No matter what the weather threw at us, my wedding couples laughed and smiled their way through their long-awaited wedding days.

Ross and Trudy married at Wincanton Racecourse in June...the wedding day brought sunshine, rain, hailstones the size of marbles and cool winds...but it didn't stop them having a truly beautiful day!
