Wedding Blessing in Wingham photographed by Victoria's Portrait and Wedding Photography, Dover, Kent

On 17th July 2010, I had the great pleasure of photographing the Wedding Blessing of Katy and Graeme at the Church of St Mary the Virgin in Wingham, Kent.

Katy and Graeme had married a couple of weeks earlier on the island of Grenada and were having their marriage vows blessed in front of family and friends who had not been with them on their Wedding Day.

We'd had a lot of rain in the run up to the Blessing so were really fortunate on the day to have such beautiful weather.

I started off photographing Katy getting ready at her parents' house and then hot footed it down the road to the Church where I caught up with Graeme, and his best man.

It wasn't long before the bridesmaids arrived and then the beautiful bride herself. I captured a few shots of Katy and Bill getting out of the car and arriving at the church, and after helping to straighten Katy's train for walking up the aisle, the ceremony began.

I managed to get some fantastic shots of Katy and Graeme in the church and some congratulatory shots once the ceremony was over and we moved outside.

Once Katy and Graeme had been congratulated by some of their guests we took some group photographs of family and friends. Once I'd finished taking the group photos, I took the bride and groom around the side of the Church where I got some stunning shots of them away from the hustle and bustle of family and friends heading to the reception at Wingham village hall.

I think you'll agree they make a beautiful couple.

Portfolio portrait photography session with Victoria's Portrait and Wedding Photography, Dover, Kent

A few weeks ago I had the pleasure of photographing Bernadette and her daughter Molly. Bernadette had contacted me about having some portfolio portrait photographs taking that she could use on her business website, www.thetoothfairycompany.co.uk/, and also wanted some portrait photographs taking of Molly if we had time.

On the day of the portrait photography session, I photographed Bernadette first to ensure she got some fabulous and varied portfolio photographs and then Molly took centre stage. Molly was a real natural in front of the camera and had such a fun time she's coming back in a couple of weeks with some friends for group photo shoot where they'll bring some changes of clothes and have some portrait photographs taking both individually and together.

Below are a few of my favourite portrait photographs from the portfolio portrait photography session.

May Bank Holiday Family Outing to the Carter's Steam Fair, Margate - Victoria's Portrait and Wedding Photography, Dover, Kent

On the end of May Bank holiday Monday we had a family outing to Margate to take a look at the Carter's steam fair. It was a rather windy day so we put on our wind proof jackets and hit Dreamland.

Unlike other modern funfairs, the Carter's funfair is run on steam and has rides that I've only ever heard of such as the "Octopus" which looked like a scary and more lively version of the Disco Twist. For their day, some of the rides were quite advanced and one was comparable to the modern day pirate ship but with less of a safety bar! The dive bomber ride shown below went round and round turning people upside down and they did appear to be holding on for dear life ;-0)

My daughters wanted to go on the carousel but in the end my youngest changed her mind in favour of hooking a duck and winning a Rubik's cube. After spending a few more pounds on the side stalls we headed off to the seafront where all the motorcycles were congregating for their Bank holiday meet. We took a stroll and admired the motorcycles, reminiscing back to days where we were out on our own motorcycles before our daughters were born.

We finished up with some chips and headed home for an afternoon in the garden. We all had a great time and I've included some photos below showing the wonderful colours of the fantastic steam funfair.
