Had a major distraction this evening while working hard on designing a sample album layout… the WPJA (Wedding Photojournalist Association) Q4 results came through and I’ve managed to get my first ever 1st place! As you would expect, I’m well chuffed and completely over the moon and I’ll be celebrating this weekend! Winning image is below…

David and Helen, Rothley Court Wedding – Leicestershire, New Year’s Eve 2009
Images from my final wedding of 2009 – David and Helen – which was held on New Year’s Eve at Rothley Court in Leicestershire. Luckily the wedding took place before the recent cold snap & snow that we have all been subjected to here in the UK, and the low winter light on the day was beautiful. A selection of images from the day are below as per usual…
Adam and Astrid – Sutton Bonington Hall, Leicestershire
It was back yet again to Sutton Bonington Hall on the 16th October for the wedding of Adam & Astrid. A few pics from the day follow to narrate the day. If you are wondering about the log cutting image, that is a German tradition called “Das Sägen”. After the ceremony, the bride and groom face their first challenge as a couple. They must saw through a heavy log on two sawhorses, with a whipsaw. This requires their working together, as the saw only cuts when pulled in either direction. It symbolises the couple’s ability to solve problems together.
