Still with a bit of time on my hands today and the change of seasons hanging heavy in the air Ive been reminiscing on a succession of evenings this summer spent ankledeep in waves watching the sun setting on the magnificent Porthmeor beach in St Ives. This is a beautiful part of the world which we go back to year after year. The light is just wonderful especially in the early morning and at dusk. This shot is one of my favourite in my early crop of edits.

With guests gathering in the panelled library for tea beside a roaring fire and a ceremony room scattered with rose petals it really was a magical setting despite the overcast skies.Cathy had arranged mini rosemary trees as the centrepiece for each table at their wedding breakfast as rosemary was worn by both brides and grooms in the Middle Ages and simple wooden love hearts completed the simple but stunning arrangements. And as for the cake well....judge for yourselves.....A lovely couple who I hope are enjoying their honeymoon in Dubai and to whom Im looking forward to showing their full set of photographs on their returnCathy and MikeThe flowersThe stunning cake there were equally gorgeous cupcakes tooThe rosemary trees 2010-9-20 19:14:55 http://www.suziewilliamsphotography.com/page15.htm#74151 Got a question about your wedding The new wedding FAQs section is now up and running so dont forget to look there if youre looking to book your wedding photography.

First of all the delightful Kate and Paul tied the knot at Lains Barn near Wantage. Guests were serenaded by the jolly tones of a local brass band and the weather was perfect. Always nice to work to musical accompaniment.Kate and PaulThen it was all the way to Newport for the wedding of Hannah and Gareth. The church in the tiny village of Llanvern was packed so much so about 30 guests had to stand outside during the ceremony.... Both bride and groom hail from farming families so the wedding was themed appropriately. Their carriage of choice to their reception was a bright red 1969 Nuffield tractor complete with just married signs a sofa and chilled champagne and the bride and groom emerged from the church to a pitchfork guard of honour courtesy of the local Young Farmers brilliantHannah amp Gareths bridal transport 2010-8-16 21:23:41 http://www.suziewilliamsphotography.com/page15.htm#60796 Its been a busy week so far...On Monday I was busy shooting a new handheld device for Texas Instruments complete with hand model and on Tuesday my attentions were turned to a rather more fun shoot for an Oxfordbased publisher where my son and a couple of his school friends and their mums were my trusty assistants and models. This latter shoot was a riot. The client wanted a homey feel to the shots so we shot at good old Iris House. The children had a fab time and were most excited by the events of the afternoon. Ive almost recovered enough to package the shoot outputs up for the client. I hope they like the results...Im not sure my house and nerves would stand it again 2010-3-17 21:29:32 http://www.suziewilliamsphotography.com/page15.htm#57589 A long while back it seems like ages now whilst studying portrait photography my lecturer pointed me in the direction of the magnificent Jane Bown a photographer who works exclusively with natural light. Working for the Observer for over 60 years Jane Bown has photographed many a familiar face and is rightly celebrated by fellow photographers and fans alike as one of the most amazingly talented portrait photographers there is. Her work really is amazing and a real inspiration to me. If you have a spare 5 minutes check her out and remember she works solely with natural light so no flash head no snazzy lighting rig and no studio just a superb talent and a 40year old camera...brilliant 2010-2-3 11:37:05 http://www.suziewilliamsphotography.com/page15.htm#57011 Just back from a shoot in Londons Westminster the impressive location was Portcullis House slap bang opposite Big Ben and the location for many ministers offices. Apparently there is an underground corridor to take the MPs safely across to Parliament when they need to cross the road. Spent the afternoon and early evening photographing MPs Lords and Baronesses for a corporate event. I love my job 2010-1-25 21:09:14 http://www.suziewilliamsphotography.com/page15.htm#56667 So it seems that the wedding fair season kicks off earlier every year or perhaps it never ends. The lovely Ann Ford at www.morrisminorweddingcars.co.uk will be at the Debenhams Wedding Fair in Oxford on Saturday 20th February exhibiting with some of the photographs I took at Claire amp Calums summer wedding. Claire and her dad arrived at Headington Hill Hall in style in Anns gorgeous convertible Morris which youll be able to see in all its glory at the show Ann is parking it in Debenhams Atrium.... 2010-1-21 18:57:34 http://www.suziewilliamsphotography.com/page15.htm#56609 Happy New Year to you all a bit late I know but whats three weeks among friends....
