All the family were gathered to see these two people tie the knot on the beach. Her dream setting. Julian was in his dress military uniform along with some close buddies, and Bridgette looked beautiful in her strapless gown. Bridgette best men were dressed in their casual “tuxedo shirts”. Excellent. The waves were crashing and the love was flowing. You can tell that these two are best friends. The whole day was filled with their love for each other and their families. It was honor to be a part of it. Have fun in Europe on your extended honeymoon. I’m jealous!

When she asked if I could take some family portraits for her I was delighted.  Her parents drove up from York and we all went down to the beach.  It had been nice and sunny in the morning, but of course as soon as we got there it clouded over and got a bit blustery.  But being the no complaining about the weather Brits that we are we soldiered on, and had a great time.  Dad, Ian, was finding strings of seaweed as tall as Hannah and having a little munch on them, as you do, while the rest of us were trying to staying warm.  I had a great time shooting their portrait and miss them dearly already.

I have your room ready for you here when you make it across the Atlantic and there will be a bowl of soup waiting, not stew, but soup.
