Wedding Activity Book for the Kiddos

As part of the super-fun activity kit that will be passed out to all the kiddos at the reception, I made a little activity book to keep them busy. I tried not to spend too much time on this project, since I have so many other projects left before the wedding! I searched for "wedding coloring book", "wedding clip art", and "love maze" to put together the coloring and maze pages. I used Discovery Education's puzzle maker to put together the wedding word search. I'm including golf pencils and crayons in their activity pack to use with the book.

KIRSTEY AND MARK'S WINTER WEDDING AT THE WONDERFUL WEDDING VENUE WYNYARD HALL

Wynyard Hall is a great venue for a wedding - not just for those of you from North East England - as brides from across the UK are choosing it as a wonderful exclusive use wedding location stacked with history and outstanding architecture and rooms.

I first met with Kirstey and Mark at their home in Wynyard when they contacted me by e-mail with an expression of interest in having myself as their official photographer. We seemed to get on well and shortly after I had a phone call to say that they would like me to be a small but important part of their day!

In the meantime, Kirstey gave birth to their beautiful daughter Eleanor, and they brought her along on the pre-wedding portrait photography session I try to have with all my brides and grooms. It allows us to meet up at the beach or a country park or a place special to the bride and groom, talk weddings and bond a little - so we're not strangers on the day of their wedding.

Saturday was a bit overcast, but the sun did pop out for about 30 minutes before the ceremony, which gave me time to wander around the magnificent Wynyard Hall and take some photographs for the album.

About 1pm Mark and his brother turned up and started unloading important things .. like toys and a pram, before checking out the main room and retiring for a small beer to settle their nerves.

That gave me the chance to drive through the Wynyard Estate grounds to their house on the edge of the golf course to meet with Kirstey and her bridesmaids and parents, before dashing back to the Hall to introduce myself to the vicar.

Wynyard Hall is one of only three wedding venues in the UK where you can have a church ceremony or a civil ceremony - as it has its own 18th century chapel.

Kirstey's Rolls Royce turned up bang on time, and parked a close to the pathway to the chapel as possible as it was a bit muddy underfoot!

The service was short and sweet, and despite one minor wobble when a tear or two tried to escape from her, Kirstey and Mark handled the formals very well indeed. We all headed out of the door and into the main hall for canapes and drinks so I had the chance to capture lots of relaxed photographs of the guests around the piano.

After an hour or so, I managed to 'borrow' Kirstey and Mark for 10 minutes to take some photographs with them on their own - Kirstey's Benjamin Roberts wedding dress looked fantastic - and then straight after I photographed a few quick formals with their parents and Nana, before everyone headed into the main room for the wedding breakfast and the speeches.

It all seemed to happen very quickly and before long, the conservatory was set up and they were on the floor for their first dance!

A great day for their wedding at Wynyard hall - all relaxed and hassle free, just like I enjoy all my weddings!

Once Kirstey and mark are back from their honeymoon in Thailand, they will send relatives and friends a link to a partner password-protected website where you can view all the photographs I took of their wedding at Wynyard.

I hope you enjoy this SNEAK PEAK before they return!

Title: Sejayno | "Mazdaznan"

∆Sejayno∆
"Mazdaznan" ft. Ayako Kataoka.
Sejayno is Peter B, Carson Garhart, Severiano Martinez.

Mazdaznan is a syncretistic religious health movement based on Zoroastrian and Christian ideas with special focus on breathing exercises, vegetarian diet and body culture. It was founded at the end of the 19th and the beginning of the 20th century by Otoman Zar-Adusht Ha'nish, born Otto Hanisch. The word Mazdaznan derives from the Persian "Mazda" and "Znan", and is supposed to mean "master thought".

The Mazda car corporation coincides with the anglicized pronunciation of the founder's name, Jujiro Matsuda, who was interested in spirituality, and chose to rename the firm in honor of both his family and Zoroastrianism. The word Mazda derives from Ahura Mazda, the Avestan language name for a divinity exalted by the ancient Iranian prophet Zoroaster, as the source of wisdom, intelligence and harmony.

The hand positions are Baroque hand gestures, 1644 Bulwer; thank you to the Syndics of Cambridge University Library.

Title: Bach Prelude BWV 1006a on Baroque Lute

Sydney lute student Oskar de Mari-Jones plays the prelude from Bach's Partita BWV 1006a. Apologies for the poor sound quality - most of the nuance and dynamics are poorly represented. Perhaps a better quality video to follow?

The partita exists in a doube-stave score in Bach's hand, with a title page in another hand. The score and key of E major suggest a keyboard piece, but the simplicity of the texture and bass line suggest a lute piece or at least a keyboard piece in imitation of the lute. The mere fact that it works well on lute however, would have been enough for an 18th century lutenist (as we can see from bwv 997, 1000). My transcription definitely favors a natural sonority and ease of play over absolute fidelity to the score - as did 18th century lutenists when they transcribed Bach's works (see 995, 997, 1000). That said, when playing on the lute, one can at least get all the notes, which is a joy after reading this piece for so long on guitar. When Approaching the dance movements however, I try to keep to Bach's original voicing (which is very light, close-textured, and avoids low basses - these are characteristics of French Lute music and in my opinion this is no coincidence).
Comments welcome.

Title: The Cover Girls - All That Glitters Isn't Gold

By the time the "All That Glitters Isn't Gold" video was filmed I was a seasoned pro. They put a gold dress on me in this video because of the title of the song and the color of my eyes. I was the first person I knew to wear a bindi on my forehead in a video. I had on the tiniest bathing suit in the scene with the guys, as usual I'm cracking up and nervous. I just couldn't bring my sexy back. I think this was one of the videos that really showed not only my personality but Caroline and Margo's as well. The sitting on set and munching and chatting was something we did a lot, a whole lot!
Hope you enjoy the video.
Love & Blessings,
Angel (The Original CoverGirl)
