Family Cotton | Family Portrait

I popped over to Helen and Chris's house to meet their new baby and take a few pictures. Noah was very placid and amenable to having his photo taken. He's a watcher - often gazing into the big strange camera trying to make sense of it all and constantly taking in everything. He also fell asleep for a little while - who knew sleeping was such hard work with all it's awriggling and asquirming. I enjoyed making the most of available colour, on the walls, in clothes and also a few Ugandan toys; sock monkey and some stuffed fabric safari animals.

Rachel and Danny | Wedding

Hurrah for a sunny wedding day for Rachel and Danny.

This was an emotion packed day - lots of close-to-tearsness when everyone was getting ready at Rachel's house (and during Rachel's dad's speech), then lots of laughter and giggles throughout the day (including during Danny's speech!). Rachel had done a lot of creative bits and bobs including painting the garden flower themed table names and making thank-you hampers for her bridesmaids full of lots of home-made yumminess. The reception venue of Wood Lane Countryside Centre was a great backdrop for these country garden touches with its rustic brickwork and meadowy grounds.

Congrulations you two :)
