personal
So as some of you may know we decided to take one last holiday together (for a while anyway!) before our new addition arrives and decided on Barcelona. It was a fantastic break and just what we both needed.
Admittedly though the 'bump' was very much the focus of our attention, there was just no escaping it...as you can see in this weeks photo!
(For those how follow the veg/fruit-o-meter it's the size of a large aubergine head to rump!)
So yet again I'm really behind in posting up my 365/7 pics. I have been taking photos but have just not had the time to do anything with them. Like almost every month in 2011 June shaped up to be another hectic one.
WEEK 21
We started the month still celebrating Paul's 33rd birthday. We had the family over to celebrate, made loads of food, baked some cakes and had a couple of 'shandy's', By the end of the day Paul and I were both pretty tired. Paul sat on the sofa 'resting his eyes'... i.e. falling asleep... and I took a photo. On a separate note: I love Paul's eyelashes...they curve inwards.
WEEK 22
This weekend I was photographing a 'new age' wedding in the deepest darkest Dumfries. It was set in gorgeous woodland and the bride & groom shared their vows in a stunning roundhouse cottage. Grace & Warren discovered and chose that location because their friends, who were traditional craftsmen, had been responsible for thatching the roof of the roundhouse. It really was something pretty special.
WEEK 23
After months of deliberation, emails back and forth to friends for ideas and recommendations and numerous times of changing our mind we've decided to go on holiday. I know I keep saying it but things really have been non-stop since January and knowing that very shortly we'll have another little person in our life to deal with which will no doubt make it even more hectic...we simply had to get away. So we decided on Barcelona. We've been twice before and love it. I can't wait for some sunshine and some time out.
WEEK 24
This week I managed to get along to a couple of (very different) gigs. On Monday we went to see Morrissey in a great little theatre in Dunfermline (okay I was buying a snack bag of minstrels instead of a pint to see me through the gig but it was still a great gig!) and then headed to Hampden for Take That (minus a pink cowboy hat you'll be pleased to know!). Made me think I need to get back to going to more gigs and festivals... roll on T in the Park!
Thanks to the gorgeous Lou at Whimsical Wonderland Weddings I had a little image of mine, from the very popular wedding of Helen & Nic, included in this July's issue of Wedding Ideas Magazine.
Okay it's no centre-spread but it's always lovely to see my images featured somewhere, be that in a blog or in print no matter how small.
I'm really looking forward to being included in some more blogs and publications in the coming months...it's all very exciting for me. To have people request to feature my images of some of the amazing weddings I've photographed is such a compliment, and it's an even bigger compliment to the brides & grooms that have created these fabulous weddings...so please keep them coming!
Check out the lovely Lou @ Whimsical Wonderland Wedding's blog post about it here.
