Gemma and Jordan are possibly the most excited-to-be-engaged people I've ever met! They're fabulous. They also have a hilarious dog called George (a girl), who managed to feature in quite a few of these shots. George has her own bedroom. I'm keeping that information quiet around here...

I was looking forward to this time of the year when my weddings were over for the season, thinking I would have TONS of time on my hands to do all the little projects that have been waiting for me. Including blogging. Somehow though, the weeks are flying by and my blog has lain unattended. So have all those other projects. Except actually the cutlery drawer - I did manage to clean out the cutlery drawer the other day which was thrillling, but not quite thrilling enough to blog about. My mum reminded me on Skype today that when she checks my blog in work of a morning, there are NO Elmer photographs waiting for her. She guilted me into blogging today.

Elmer hasn't been his usual lively (photographed) self recently. He's been sick with colds or a cough on and off for weeks. I've not been that well either, and the combination of sick baby, sick me, winter, and the general admin that takes up any spare time I have means that I've not been so active with my camera lately. Here is my sick little boy:

My last wedding of the (summer) season, and man alive... I had SO much fun with these guys. Some weddings make me think 'I could shoot this wedding every week' and this was one of those. My true photography love is documentary, and so any wedding that is not only full of things happening, but full of people having an incredible time whilst the things are happening, makes me happy. I love getting lost in a sea of people and getting right in on the action without anyone batting an eyelid. I love when people are so obviously besotted with eachother, and I love anything a little different from the norm (my norm that is).

Lawrence and Natalie are Chinese-Malaysian so the start of the wedding day included the Chinese tradition of the groom fighting his way through a series of challenges before he could meet his bride. The bridesmaids are in charge of planning the challenges, and they generally include anything embarrassing, hilarious and demeaning. So much fun. It also sets up the day in a very relaxed and jovial mood. Later on at the reception the guests performed songs and speeches, and the flower girls gave a violin recital. Yucky weather but it didn't matter...

Last week...
