Beautiful chidren....beautiful words.....

I had the pleasure a month ago to photograph a family portrait in Bristol for Martin & Leanne & their four gorgeous children, Jade, Kayleigh, Jasmine & Max. As Max was 6 months old Leanne & Martin wanted to document this important stage in his development & I suggested to her that it was a perfect opportunity to capture the whole family.

They decided to purchase a hi resolution DVD from me so that they were able to print off pictures for themselves and their family and this was her recent e-mail to me:

"Venetia,
Just to let you know I received my disc this morning........they are absolutely FANTASTIC, I could cry. I can't stop looking at them. You really captured all of thier personalities......I am so pleased I chose you to do the photos and if the wedding ones turn out like them, well let's say I will be more than over the moon.
Thank you so much again,
Leanne"

She was so pleased with the results of the family portrait that she has asked me to photograph Martin & her destination wedding in Cyprus later this year...I can't wait to get some more pictures of their beautiful children in natural light!

Here are a few pictures from the family portrait:

The girls hanging out.....





It's important when children to make them feel at ease & let them have some fun....this makes their personalities shine through.....we had such fun this afternoon.



A beautiful baby portrait of the main man......





Whilst we were there I suggest we do some individual portraits of each of the girls too.....







All the children together will make a lovely present for their grandparents.....



Martin & Leanne looking proud......



The whole family....



It was a wondeful, fun afternoon guys & I can't wait do your destination wedding photography in Cyprus!!

A very personal wedding to me.....

I had the great pleasure last month to photograph the wedding of someone very special to me. June & I have known each other since I was a baby as her mum was my mum's best friend & my god-mother. I have to say that although it was a great honour to be asked it was one of the most difficult weddings I've ever had to do as my emotional side kept taking over & I kept wanting to cry...oh I am so soppy!

Here are a few of the beautiful pictures we created:

The Arnos Manor Hotel makes a gorgeous, very gothic looking venue.....



June looked so beautiful I was really battling back the tears.....



Jon appeared very at ease & not at all nervous (a sign he knew he was making the right decision!)



The ceremony was beautiful, made me cry again....!



After the ceremony I took June & Jon off to Arnos Vale Cemetery for some beautiful pictures of the two of them. It seem a strange choice for a Bristol wedding photographer but the architecture is so amazing & June's mum is buried there so it seemed appropriate.....









Jon, you are a wonderful man & just you make sure you look after my Juney-Pooney!

I wish you both all the happinest in the world & I hope you have a fantastic honeymoon in New Zealand.

Love, Venetia xxx
