This will be my last blog post of 2017, so I'd like to take the opportunity first of all to wish everyone reading a very Merry Christmas and I hope you all have some lovely plans and dreams for 2018. It's been a whirlwind of a year for me with almost 40 weddings, my husband's 40th Birthday (which came with a big party planned by myself!), travelling around Europe and, more recently, a beautiful tour of Sri Lanka which really opened my eyes to the fact that happiness is not a product of how much we have in life. The people there were some of the poorest I have seen, but I struggled to find anyone who didn't have a smile on their face or a kind word to say to us. It's set me up for a few resolutions come the New Year...

Anyway, back to the weddings! December has seen me shoot three weddings - the first of which I am sharing with you here. Adam and Victoria got married on the 2nd December at The Welcombe Hotel in Stratford. Their Disney themed day was so lovely throughout and the festive decorations around the hotel finished it off perfectly. I had a LOT of names to learn at this one - 7 bridesmaids and 7 groomsmen - but I think I did OK for the most part! Vicky looked stunning in her Disney Princess white dress and winter shrug while Adam scrubbed up pretty well too! The hotel had a gorgeous rear garden in which to do some group and couple shots and we managed the hoped-for shot at the waterfall despite the wet weather. Possible the highlight of this venue is the stunning staircase where we did some couple shots - scroll down to see a few of these!
