Yes, yes, yes

Alex Miller

I'm planning a series of posts thanking people who helped us with our wedding. Alex Miller was recommended by some friends of his when I approached them to take wedding photos. We didn't meet up before the day but Alex was very keen to chat on the phone, by email and text, and on Skype to understand what our wedding would be like and what we wanted. He was excited by the rural setting and the idea of our fell race the moment they were mentioned to him. On the day he worked quietly but consistently hard, and produced some amazing images I'd be more than happy to recommend Alex to anyone, especially if they want genuine raw emotion capturing rather than boring, staged images. The above picture of Alex at work was taken by my brother David

A few honeymoon photos

We had a fantastic honeymoon in the Seychelles, with the undoubted highlight being the six days we spent on Bird Island. A lovely couple we met on the flight out, Steve and Jo, sent me a few photos this morning. Steve told me about his moon and frigate bird composition (I spent hours in the sea watching these amazing creatures with a seven feet wingspan, soaring effortlessly) and it's every bit as good as he promised. Now I just need to decide where to have my frigate bird tattoo, err, possibly!
