London – November 2023
Day 1 – Borough Market and ‘Dear England‘
We love a trip to London and try to get there once a year. It’s just a fantastic place to visit and, although we’re regular visitors to the capitol, we can always find something new to do or see. The planning for this trip started when we were offered free tickets for the Cake and Bake show at Earls Court which was in late November.

We both enjoy walking, especially a good day-long hike. We’re not stay overnight in the wilds, using a tent, type’s but we’re quite happy taking on a 10-12 mile trek in the hills or countryside.

Our second wedding of 2014 was in late March. Tim and Charmaine were getting married at a hotel near Frome, Somerset. The wedding ceremony and wedding breakfast were to be held at the same venue, making life easier for me.

In a break from catching up on past weddings I thought I’d write a short blog on what I’ve been photographing lately. In one word it’s ‘Preserves’.

Our first wedding in 2014 was in late March when we shot Andy and Louise’s ceremony at the Walton Park Hotel, Clevedon, N.Somerset, UK. Its a modest wedding venue and a little bit restricted for photo opportunities on site. However, Andy and Louise had a few ideas for couple shots on the Victorian seafront at Clevedon. Louise and her party were getting ready at the hotel and Andy was due to arrive an hour or so before the ceremony start time. They lived in Clevedon so there were no great logistical problems.

Into July 2013 and the wedding of Frank and Tina. We were back at Arnos Court Hotel in Bristol. Unfortunately, as far as outside wedding shots were concerned, it rained pretty much all day. Other than the bad weather though, another lovely wedding day, that ran quite smoothly for me.

I shot two further weddings in 2013. I thought we’d been busier than that, although we did have lots of future bookings for 2014. In June I shot Ben and Sarah’s wedding at the Holiday Inn, Filton, Bristol.

Our first wedding of 2013 was in January of that year. The Bride, Nicola, had been a bridesmaid at a wedding I photographed in 2012 and booked me, for her wedding, following that ceremony.

Away from the bustle of the Medina, a short walk from our hotel, was Nouvelle Ville or New Town. Leaving the Medina through the northern exit in the Medina wall brings you straight into modern Morocco. It’s a smart area with all the outlets you’d expect to see in the UK. McDonald’s, Starbucks, KFC, they’re all here. There’s also a really smart shopping area with the usual designer outlets as well as some expensive looking hotels. We’d walk through in the evening and it’s busy, buzzy and a nice break from the bustle in the Medina.
