Louise and Mark up on Dartmoor
I thoroughly enjoyed photographing Louise and Mark's wedding at the Two Bridges Hotel up on Dartmoor last weekend.
Louise and Mark booked me for their wedding almost two years ago so we were all very excited when their special day arrived. Mark and his Best Man Paddy left the men's button holes at home...ooops...but they relaxed a bit when Louise's bridesmaids arrived without the ring cushion!
It was a pleasure to photograph so many happy, smiling people.

Uniforms, Kilts, Dartmoor and Ceilidhs
Well, after a very rainy week the weather was glorious for Ruth and Asa's wedding at Tavistock's St. Eustacious Church and their wild Ceilidh reception at Lamerton Village Hall.
Asa was planning to use an Army photographer colleague for his wedding photography but was let down when army operations meant his friend was unavailable. He called me up from Yorkshire and in typical Scottish tradition drove a hard bargain for our services at fairly short notice! But I fell for it when I heard the plans he and Ruth had for their special day.
We had beautiful December light last Saturday that complimented Ruth's gorgeous looks and all those kilt colours and patterns. My new Canon 5D Mk II performed fabulously in the low light of St. Eustacious Church and to top it all we popped up to my favourite landscape venue Dartmoor for a few romantic couple photos and for a bit of private time for Ruth and Asa.
And then when they unleashed a Ceilidh band upon a very merry crowd a fabulous time was absolutely had by all....Mag and I included.

Nice Shiny New Camera
My brand new Canon 5D Mk II arrived yesterday. This updated 5D is getting rave reviews for its low light capability. I'm looking forward to trying it out this Saturday in a dimly lit church.
However today was bright and sunny, so up to Dartmoor and a wander around Burrator Reservoir. Here's a couple of snaps with my new toy - errr professional camera equipment!
