Portraits In The Snow

Oh the weather outside is frightful, but taking photos is so delightful...

...so since it's so beautiful...
...let it snow, let it snow, let it snow!

These last few weeks we've had more snow than we usually get at Christmas, so a few people have taken advantage of it by requesting some photo shoots! I had a brilliant time, and here are the results of our labours.



This is a family photo shoot that became very festive! We had santa hats, Christmas stockings...


...and a rogue elf.
Have yourself a merry little Christmas...okay, new year then! It still feels like Christmas to me!

Ice and Frost

There is nothing like those wintry beauties, ice and frost. They have a remarkable ability to alert us to the brightness of colour…


…cause brittle tree branches to stand out stark against the light…


…and make a simple bridge a storyland.


Then the mist comes down, and things appear a bit more ghostly…


…so we share the beauty with people, and the mist swirls about and creates a perfect backdrop for them…


…and the snowy bridge becomes a place to dance.
Enjoy the beauty of winter.

Autumn, Winter, Summer, Spring?

I love the seasons.

Even more, I love looking back at them.

And I can’t quite decide which season lends itself best to a wedding. Because every season has its beauty, and its remembrance:

The steadiness of summer, and the daylight that stretches long across the fields…


The multitude of colours that is autumn, and the variance of those colours on just one or two themes…



In the depth of winter, the beginnings of buds that will flourish soon…


…And spring. Oh, spring. There is such a wild exuberance in spring, flinging about its blossoms and flowers with abandon. There is abundance on the trees, and abundance spread about on the ground. Pink confetti, created by the hand of God.



And yet in spite of the gorgeous confetti, and spring’s flinging on of wedding-day garments that make you catch your breath, my vote would still lean towards autumn’s richness and glory.



But what’s your season?
