Baby "Jamaal" Richardson


John and Dayle are having a baby.  John is determined it's a boy who they are going to call Jamaal (I'm not even sure how you spell Jamaal).  Dayle is determined that whatever it is, it will not be Jamaal.  She far prefers Laquisha (again, not sure about the spelling...)

This past weekend was Jamaal's baby shower, a baby shower with a difference...  As Jamaal has fun loving folks there would be no tea and cakes and talk about pregnancy, there would instead be beer and snacks and chatter about what Jamaal should really be named.  As you can imagine, the more beer and snacks consumed, the better the name suggestions.  By the end of the afternoon, Jamaal was looking pretty top compared with some of the other names being thrown about.

"Big Brother (of the fuzzy kind) Max keeping his eye on the goodies"


We can't wait to meet you Jamaal

Chris & Sophie



Chris proposed to Sophie on Christmas day last year.  He presented her with a ring and got down on one knee and literally gave her the surprise of her life. This really was turning out to be a Christmas Sophie would remember forever, earlier in the day she received a car but this seemed quite insignificant right now.  This moment would be the one she spoke of when she told people what she got for Christmas.



Engagement shoots are great practice for the big day.  You get used to being in front of the camera and all your awkwardness can move aside.  Chris & Sophie definitely felt strange about having their pic's taken in such a "formal" way but they adapted quite quickly and were soon pro's. 


During the course of the shoot, Chris & Sophie felt more relaxed an we got some beautiful shots.



And just as we were about to leave both Chris and Sophie were so chilled and at ease in front of the camera it was almost sad to say goodbye.

Congrats Chris & Sophie.

Chat soon,
Denise

A Little Introduction

So here we go...

With the start of a new business adventure comes the start of a new blog.  I will admit that I have never blogged anything in my life before but I hear it's good for spreading the word.

So let's tell the world a little something about us...

Once upon a time, in a town not far away, a mutual friend innocently introduced a guy and a girl to one another.  Little did either the guy or girl know, but this moment would change both their lives forever.

Almost 3 years on and the guy and girl are still very happy.  They've even decided to take their relationship to the next level... starting a business together!  What a giant leap but the guy and the girl both know they can handle it.  Photography and videography is the name of the game, namely weddings and all the bit's and bob's that go along with it.

The business is still super-brand new and while both of us know what we're doing behind the camera (the girl studied photography for 3 years and even has a diploma to prove it) we're still finding our feet in business.  check back here in a couple of weeks time and you'll see our first blog, it'll be about an engagement shoot we've got coming up (the shoot is already planned, that's how I know what the blog will be about.  The girl cannot see into the future even though that would be awesome!)

See you again soon
a Guy & a Girl
So you know who we are!
