What a cutie.......

I travelled to Paignton in Devon today to photograph a baby portrait of this gorgeous little baby girl, Georgie and her brother, Harry. Georgie is such an adorable baby, a real pleasure to photograph and has the most amazing auburn hair!! It's really important when photographing babies not to rush things so we had lots of cuddles in between photographs!

When Harry came home from school he was the perfect photographers assistant and I even had time to photograph a few portraits on his own and some family portraits together.

Thank you for a wonderful afternoon guys!

Kerry & Paul's pre-wedding shoot - Cadbury House

As the recommended wedding photographer for Cadbury House Hotel, Bristol I am lucky enough to photograph a number of weddings at this beautiful venue each year. When Kerry approached me about being their wedding photographer she had looked at a number of venues in Bristol and had picked Cadbury House Hotel as it is the perfect setting for a modern, contemporary wedding.


This week I met Kerry and Paul at Cadbury House to hear all about the finalised plans for their wedding day and to discuss their wedding photography in more detail. It just so happned that we picked the day the snow arrived for our planning meeting and there was a moment when I thought we'd all be spending the night there as the snow was so heavy!


Kerry & especially Paul are quite camera shy so the pre-wedding shoot was a fantastic warm-up for their wedding photography and a great excuse to cuddle up for warmth. Despite the snow and the freezing cold I still managed to get some gorgeous photographs of them...well done Paul...it was worth it!!

Things like this make my day....

"THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU

We've just received our wedding photographs and DVD and once again I can't say how over the moon I am.

I will definitely be recommending you to anyone and everyone we know getting married and look forward to seeing you for the 'Trash the dress....with a difference' when it's warmer in the spring. I am so glad you agreed to be our wedding photographer and so happy with my wedding photographs....they bring back so many great memories.

I also want to say how fantastic you were, you fitted in with everyone and felt more like our guests than our photographer/s.

Speak soon,

Leanne & Martin Dixon (and brood) xxx"


Ah, thank you Leanne...it was a total pleasure to travel to Cyprus to be your wedding photographer....I loved every minute of your day! Venetia x
