If you ever visit Laos, then the Kuang Si Waterfalls are worth a visit; nature at its best.

A steep 10 min walk up into the jungle up above the waterfalls are crystal clear pools and having a refreshing dip here to cool off was absolute bliss - could have killed for a beer though !

Loved the challenge of getting a picture of The White Temple near Chang Rai without any people in the picture.

As you can imagine, this amazing building attracts many visitors and

Hoping to take the slow boat down The Mekong River tomorrow and looking forwards to visiting Laos, a landlocked country often overlooked in favour of Thailand and Cambodia.

Feels like turning the clock back a few decades as always love travelling and wow the time flies as half way through my 6 week adventure !

What a few weeks ! Just before setting off for a

What a few weeks !

Just before setting off for a backpacking tour of SE Asia, a whole host of things occurred at the same time resulting in my website being off line, and emails bouncing back etc.

I'm pleased to say that after a hell of a lot of time and stress, everything is now restored back to normal.

Apart from one client who has gone out of her way to spread disinformation, fortunately many clients have been completely understanding.

I look forwards to touching base with my couples when I return to the UK at the start of March.

I'm trying to see as much of this part of the world as organically as I can far away from the tourist hot spots, so please bear in mind like any holiday, I'm trying to recoup and may not be able to get back to you for a few weeks.

In the meantime, I'll leave you with this image of Ko Tao which is beautiful,
All the best

Love this photo taken yesterday of Ruth & Alex's small intimate wedding at Cragwood Country House Hotel, Windermere.

As this was my last wedding of 2023, I'd like to wish to thank all couples married this year a long and happy life together and look forwards to all many epic adventures that await in 2024.

Happy to waive goodbye to the last few difficult weeks (broken laptop, internet issues etc) and I'm utterly knackered.

In need of a rest before clearing a mini backlog in the first week of Jan and will then be up to date, hooray !

Have a lovely Christmas and a well deserved rest, and go easy on the sherry :)
Best wishes

//Yesterday//

Yesterday all my troubles seem so far away, (which is also a classic song) as I photographed a perfectly imperfect wedding.

More than a few things wen wrong. The new drone arrived late, the planned meeting with video extraordinaire ”Benny” never happened, the boat that The Groom was supposed to zip “Miami Vice style” across Ullswater ran out of fuel, and poor Michael not only had to row back to somewhere near Another Place, and he even turned up to his wedding in a dress.

On top of this Abigale’s self proclaimed Clampett family from deepest Barnsley were super chilled and were having an absolute blast.

There was no mobile phone signal, but we knew Michael was running late, via Benny, who kept running here, there and everywhere, and running up and down the Hills near the Howtown zigzags, like Kate Bush on speed.

The when we got to he church Bother Jeff, The Vicar (new to the Parish) was extremely welcoming then later was incredibly rude to me during the ceremony. Many guests also commented on his poor behaviour afterwards.

In over 1000 weddings I’ve never come across someone more dictatorial and confrontational (he is passionate though) and so during the ceremony after chastising myself in front the congregation, I took the £10 I placed earlier in the collection tray by the entrance/exit dependant upon your view, and it went straight back in my pocket. A homeless charity will benefit from his poor behaviour.

His rude interruption was preventing me from doing my job (I could have easily interrupted and reminded him of his role and position) but sometimes, its better cutting out the middle man (or woman) and dealing with the top dog directly.

Long story short, the rest of the day was perfect and imo Abi & Michael were the most perfect couple on a fine Autumnal day, amongst the Lakeland fells.

England almost stunning South Africa at Rugby was nearly the cherry on top, but yesterday was in every way perfect, however imperfect !

//shouldn’t I be posting photos part1//

Being real amongst fakers in a cross I’ve bourne all my life.

Rather than fretting and having a perfect Insta grid, I prefer to things a little spontaneous, a little left-field and be more like Yoda.

Hopefully off to Scotland tomorrow, but then again wanted to go on Weds but stuff cropped up which is kind of what happens in this thing calked life.

Will post a photo from yesterdays wedding later today after photographing todays micro wedding at Coniston just to show how utterly fricking brilliant I am and a shameless Social@Media self- publicist I am ❤️😝😍🤟🏽💋

Can’t be arsed with any self promotion - see mY Facebook page if you can be arsed. I'm NOT, so put this out on Insta as people were asking about TWIA so yep made the short list

What is going on in the middle east right now affects every single one of us on his planet and we can NOT trust the politicians and Governments that enslave us

Today is deadline for The Wedding Industry Awards and anyone who hasn't voted for me can do so here...

I could have put literally hundreds of thank you cards, presents, pictures from ex-clients, many who have become friends and take me out for meals, or a pint. Some I even photograph them on their anniversary and take photos from the results of a night of passion, or 60 secs of vigour (for some with twice my stamina).....ie baby photos - yes I'm not too shabby at these too !

But that is what everyone else does and I'm different, don't try to be, just am.

So when an ex-student sends me this then I know I'm doing something right and not just in photography, but more importantly, in life.

For anyone who doesn't know Forest Green Rovers where David works was the first professional male football team In The UK to appoint a woman coach, I just wish the mens National team were as enlightened and swapped Gareth for Sarina.

I'm going to meeting David (Needham) at some point and will be ever so proud of what a fine person he has become and someone who will inspire future generations.

Hope you all have the best week ever and make a difference to this screwed up world in which we live in !

Anyone wants to start a revolution ?? 💖🙏📷😜 oh and... ⚽️
