So here it is, after working all day yesterday through until 2.00am to get this finished I completed all the editing and putting together of a slideshow of my day with Martyn, Sally and their 2 wonderful children.

I explained to both Sally and Martyn that this was certainly not going to be like a studio shoot I know they had from a renowned studio that rhymes with denture. This was going to be a walts and all document of their day, the tears, the happiness and the joy of being a parent and having 2 great kids. I shot for 10 hours and they will receive 450 images on disc to do what they like with. From a photographers point of view and speaking as a father to 2 great children myself I know I would love this, as we dont have many if any images of all 4 of us as either Anita or I are the ones taking the photos, sometimes even Max, whose only 3, has a go, but he hasn’t yet mastered off camera flash and so struggles a bit..:)

Anyway here are some of my faves and a slideshow, I used some audio at the beginning and end of this show, hope you like it.

After having posted some images of a day I shot with past clients of mine, I have quite a few emails asking if this is a service I was now offering. Initially it started as a one-off, however I decided to book in a few more and see how it all develops. I recently was fortunate enough to document a workshop in Dallas and the thing that struck me most was the American appetite for photographs, they dont mind what you shoot and they dont have all these rules and regulations about what you can and can’t shoot. I remember telling them stories of how I was not allowed to take photographs at my childrens nativity play and they were astounded. So documenting a day is also as much an exercise in convincing my clients that its good fun and a wonderful memory to have as they grow older.

Sally and Martin and their 2 beautiful children live in Plymouth, I spent all day yesterday with them from 9.00am until bedtime for the children, documenting their day, we had great fun and I even managed to thrash Marin and his Dad on the Wii…….

Here are 2 of the images that initially grabbed me whilst doing my first edit.

I thought I would add a few more images from the wedding I shot with Anil Tohani at The Manor Of Groves, last Sunday.

Enjoy.
