On 07.08.09 I got married to Richard Holt.  The day was lovely and I now have a few pictures to show to the world.  Our photographer was Victoria Hamilton and she was super and has captured so many perfect memories for us to treasure.

The day started at my mums and after a few hours getting my hair and makeup done then squeezing into my dress I was ready.  I managed to find all the tradition items, old, new, borrowed and blue.

When my Dad arrived we had a few family pictures in the back garden before mum and bridesmaid left for church.  At which point nerves set in, so I decided I needed a few pieces of toast to stop my tummy growling at the alter.

I had picked a wonderful car to take me to the church, a vintage 1930s Austin. It was totally fitting for the vintage styled day.  Though rather tricky to get into in a tight corseted wedding dress!

Richard got a little surprise as well, his sister and friends had sorted out a Delorean to get him to the church on time.  This was a massive hit and I’m sure calmed his nerves and the guests loved it later.

The bestman and bridesmaid were great and made the day extra special by helping it run to perfection and earlier in the month organising great parties for us.  So a big thank you to them and all the others who helped us sort out our perfect day!

In the end the day was perfect and I married a very special person who I’ll be able to share the rest of my life with.  A big thank you to Richard! x

I’ve been wedding planning for nearly six months now, scary as we only have 7 and a half to go and lots of things still to do. Our engagement photoshoot was fun, rolling around in the wet and mud at Dunham Park.

This is one of the more sensible pictures, more can be viewed on our wedding website. Our wedding site was designed by my husband to be the talented Mr Holt.

The planning is coming along, most things are booked and a lot of vintage china purchased. I’ll soon be making a lot of vintage style bunting, I’ve bought old table cloths that I’m going to cut down and reconstruct. I’ve just got to make my mind up what to put the flowers in on tables.

A long awaited holiday, Cornwall in the best place in England. Though camping isn’t everyones idea of a holiday, add electricity and it seems a little better. The weather could have been better, but it is England and we all know you can’t rely on British weather.

Walks along the beach and cliffs, surfing and cream teas are what summer is about.

I often dream of being able to live in Cornwall, inspiration on your doorstep and an endless sense of relaxation.

I now have a few more weeks off work and plan on creating some Cornish inspired art, maybe branch into a few small paintings. Watch this space!

Now this is gardening on a new level. Its great, I spotted it browsing the web, you could have allsorts of growing posters, though it makes me wonder how long it would last in London.

My new camera the Olympus XA arrived last weekend. It great really small rangefinder film camera, with good reviews. Back to the old school of film! Been taking pic’s with it all week, so keep posted for the pictures.

Well its nearly the end of my week off, and what have I done with myself.
I went into London to take photographs on the Southbank, not sure these came out to great as i couldn’t managed to focus on the skaters as they were to damm fast. A nice day though, its a great place to get graffiti pictures. I then went to Brighton, mainly to have a little look around the shops, but i did try out an Ilford HP5 film in the Olympus OM10. I got some good shots, but advise against trying to taking pictures in the pier arcade. The security guard has issues. The rest of my week off will be spent sitting aroundwatching TV (Lillies tonight), playing on flickr and writing school childrens reports!
