GILL AND TIM'S GREAT WEDDING AT THE BOWES MUSEUM AT TEESDALE COUNTY DURHAM

What a great day I had photographing Gill and Tim's lovely wedding at The Bowes Museum and their wedding breakfast overlooking the most fantastic views of Teesdale.

They were always enthusiastic about relaxed, chilled out photography to document their great wedding celebrations, but I also managed to grab a few minutes with them at Bowes Museum to produce some stylish images.

The rest of the day allowed me to capture the fun and ambience of their wedding in a magnificent historic building and onward to an amazing marquee setting for champagne, and great food by specialist caterer Alexander MacMurray with some excellent speeches from family and friends.

The Picture Gallery in The Bowes Museum is an amazing setting for any wedding - especially so if you are looking for a different type of wedding venue. Aileen Risbey, who co-ordinated the wedding and her colleagues did a great job, while the eight magnificent floral displays by Grace Hunter of Darlington Flower Club were quite unbelievable in their scale.

Gill looked fabulous on the day and had a great time with her close friends and relatives while Tim and his brothers looked extremely smart in their top hats and tails.

If you would like me to photograph your wedding at BOWES MUSEUM, in a relaxed, professional and natural observational way, with no bother or hassle or stress, then ring me now to check your date for late 2010, 2011 or 2012.

FUNNY: Liz Lemon offers kind words to Grizz about his wedding (and choosing a best man)

LIZ LEMON: [To Grizz, who is having a difficult time choosing either Tracy Jordan or Dot Com as best man for his wedding]

Don't even have a best man!  Your wedding day is about you and your bride.  So who cares what anyone else thinks?  Love isn't judgmental.  Love is patient.  Love is...weird, and sometimes gross.  Love is elusive, and you found it, so treasure it.  And maybe, don't leave it alone with Dot Com.

GRIZZ: [Completely straightfaced, without emotion]

That was beautiful.  Look at me, crying like a baby.

-from 'Argus' the peacock episode, 30 Rock on NBC.  First broadcast 29 April 2010.

Custom Aisle Runner for Samantha

Samantha wanted a custom design on her aisle runner that had ornaments put together in a cross formation with their names and date.  I put together a few proposals for her and she ultimately decided on this one.  We added a touch of the red color she was using for her flowers and dresses and the end result is just perfect!

Title: Our Feature Presentation: Personalized Aisle Runners

Because weddings are transitioning more into personalized events, rather than traditional proceedings, it's key for brides and grooms to find their ideal blend of modern day trend to everyday wedded tradition. So, what better way to do this than by customizing your time-honored wedding day accessories with your own personalized style?

One accessory that does this beautifully, is the customary "rolling out of the red carpet" aisle runner. Because every bride dreams of that magical moment when the doors open and she walks down towards the man of her dreams, it's important to make the grand entrance count! And nothing will punctuate your entrance more beautifully than one of our Personalized Aisle Runners.

Fashioned in white, non-woven rayon for traditional look, each of our countless aisle runners is individually crafted for every bride and groom. Available in a variety of accent colors, designs and layouts, our runners become an even more one of a kind keepsake when couples add their names, monogram, initials and wedding date to the design of their choice!

Then, with the free personalization intact, newlyweds will be ready to place it down and roll it out for the big day celebration. Because each runner comes kitted with adhesive strip backing for placement and pull cord for easy extension down the aisle, it's no wonder why this has become an instant best seller!

Measuring 36 inches wide by 100 feet long, these ceremony essentials are designed to fit any aisle, and because the personalization is placed 8 feet from the top, photographers will easily be given a stand-out focal point to capture on the day you say "I do."

But don't let the fun end there! Really let your creativity run wild and line the aisle with petals, tulle, twinkle lights or even candles for added romance. Because it has a look that works just as beautifully inside a traditional church, as it does outside surrounded by nature, you'll see how easily you can instantly transform any location into a ceremony-ready site.

And for even more ways to create an all-around unified theme - check out our long list of matching products that will have your guests: Wedding banners, table runners, photo booth backdrops, cake toppers and surround your wedding day with personalized décor that's all about you!

It truly is exciting to see a wedding day come together, and Personalized Aisle Runners are one way to take your ceremony from ordinary to extraordinary. Thanks for watching and cheers to many years of happiness!

SUNDERLAND PRE-WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHY PORTRAITS FOR SHELLEY AND STEVE

Last week I spent some time with Shelley and Steve whose wedding at Langley Castle is in December - one I'm very much looking forward to.

Roker beach at Sunderland has a has a great siginificance for Shelley as she often came here with her father when younger and now brings her own children here too, to walk along the beach and touch the pier before walking back - just as she did with her father all those years ago.

So, we spent an hour or so walking a beach on a crisp and cold day in November and we created some lovely images together. The day was overcast - perfect for some nice moody images!

They are so looking forward to their wedding at Langley Castle - and I'm very much looking forward to being a part of their great celebrations. I hope you enjoy a few of the photographs ... and I must also remember to post a photograph of their fantastic wedding invitation!

Bridal Portraits Should Not Look Like Yearbook Photos

I have to admit, I was not pleased with my bridal portraits. My first reaction when I got the pictures back from the photographer was "Why do these remind me of my awkward yearbook pictures?!"

Exhibit A: The dreaded school portrait head tilt.
You remember this from middle school. The photographer says "Ok, now, angle your shoulders away with me, but turn your face towards me, and then tilt your head...more tilt, more tilt". All the while, you're thinking "Is this right? Are you sure this is going to look good?"

(school portrait from Lifetouch)

Exhibit B: Awkward pose with a prop.
Senior portraits all seem to have some sort of ladder, tree, or huge class year numbers to lean on. Is this supposed to make it look more natural than the head tilt?

(school portrait from Classic Camera Photography)

School portrait poses asides, I felt like the majority of the poses we did were completely unflattering to my specific body type and more importantly unflattering to MY DRESS.

Most of the shots were taken by the photographer kneeling on the ground and looking up at me, making me look, well let's just say "larger than life". As I was looking down at the camera, it also exposed a nice double chin effect. What bride doesn't want that in her pictures?


The photographer was also a big fan of having me stand away from him, and then twisting my torso to face the camera or at something behind me. I'm pretty sure this is supposed to make you look thinner. But that doesn't take into account that my dress' boned bodice will not twist *with* my body; it will stubbornly stay faced away, pinching my skin and flattening out my under arm. The result is that my side looks like flab is spilling out over the dress and my arm looks like it doesn't understand the word "push-up". Fabulous.


I did come out of the session with some good pictures. The photographer stood on a chair and shot down at me while I sat on the ground. There's no gorgeous backdrop, but these are the only pictures where I feel like I came off looking pretty and like myself. Look, no double chin!

The best picture of the day was a completely candid shot as we were walking to the car to leave.
