Go Carting at Pole Position with Tim and the Guys

One of the great things about being a photographer is that you get to go to things you'd never otherwise see!  And Saturday it was go-carting for Tim and his mates at his stag do for his Grooms Day Photographs.  Although it was a bit noisy I had a great time.  

Not sure I'd ever want to do the go-carting though - it looked really difficult and very tiring!  And one or two managed to spin ... I managed to catch one on the camera, not sure who it was though!  Maybe Tim and his mates can tell from the photograph 4th from the end of this selection.  

Anyway, thanks for a great morning, guys - hope you enjoyed the rest of the stag do, and I look forward to seeing everyone again at the wedding at Eaves Hall in July.

Chris and Emma's Wedding Part 1

I love to include casual photographs of the groom and his family and groomsmen as part of the wedding photography - otherwise the wedding album is in danger of looking like it's just about the bride!  Yes, I know, it's mainly about the bride, but we should also give the guys a chance too!  Usually I photograph the guys before going to the bride and bridesmaids getting ready, but because of the distance between the hotel the guys were staying at (Cottons Hotel near Knutsford) and the bride's home I went the night before, and got there just as the sun was setting to take photographs of Chris, his mum and dad, his dad's friend John from Australia, his lovely Nana who is nearly 90, and his groomsmen.

Chris, Graham and Daniel Play Golf

As part of Chris and Emma's wedding photography, I was booked by Chris to take photographs the day before the wedding of the guys playing golf at Mere Golf Club, near Knutsford.  It's a beautiful course, with gorgeous tree lined fairways.  I was able to photograph Chris, his dad Graham, and best man Daniel as they played their round of golf in the early morning sunshine.

I think Chris was messing about when he was practising his swing .... well, I certainly hope he was :-)

If not, he could always pick up a tip or two from Daniel - I think the sunglasses did it!

I think I might have upset Chris when I told him this was the best photograph of the day!  At least, the look on his face said "You've got to be joking!".  Later that evening I heard from his friends and family how he was a bit shocked to see that the best photograph of the day was of his feet! LOL

This was the one that I had really meant to show him though, honest!

Graham reckoned it was a highly frustrating game and thought he wasn't playing too well - but he actually won.

A lot of time was spent searching for balls ... a lot of time!  But then, on a day like this, who's bothered?  It was just a glorious day.
