The ladies know how to do it...

A couple of weeks ago (pre-holiday…I am back now and slightly jaded) a last minute job cropped up for BIMM (Brighton Institute of Modern Music) so off I popped down to the sea, IN THE SUN!!! (That old cousin that rarely appears at any important event. Oh how we relish his fleeting visits).


I think this is the third Induction day I have worked on and sadly, I fear I never really do a great job because I always get sidetracked by the interesting and well, pretty famous/talented people that are interviewed by Briggy Smales, entertainment guru, reporter lady whose accounts of Brighton folk will have you giggling and uttering those infamous words, 'Only in Brighton'. 


Doing these odd jobs for BIMM an overriding thought always hits me, 'these students are so incredibly lucky'. They get to hear the wise words, anecdotes and quirky stories from some of the biggest names in the music industry and I guess I am pretty lucky too because I get to shoot them occasionally.


This time I got to meet Krissi Murison, Editor of NME and singer/songwriter Emiliana Torrini (whose voice I have fallen in love with…GIRL CRUSH, GIRL CRUSH). Both ladies were incredibly interesting, witty and charming and the students enjoyed them enormously and listened intently. Ears certainly pricked when hearing Krissi question what lies between her legs...Nice lady, nice. A room full of nubile testosterone can only squirm in wonder.

Howard & Katie's big day at Stanmer House

I met Katie and Howard in a pub in Brighton quite sometime ago and was totally bowled over by how much they loved my wedding work and just how lovely they were. We chatted about life, love and photos and instantly hit it off and when leaving I was left with that real excitement bubbling inside, 'Ooh, I can't wait to shoot this one' and true to my bubbling internals, it didn't disappoint.

It was certainly a more challenging wedding due to the weather and the incredibly gorgeous Jack (see cheeky monkey face above), Howard and Katie's 18 month old little boy who didn't want to be apart from his Mummy for a second and he let everyone know about it, but the weather cleared and Jack had a sleep and everyone had an amazing time. 

Howard and Katie are the sweetest couple and shooting their wedding was an absolute pleasure and I hope they will be as thrilled with their own wedding portfolio as they were with my past work. I wish them all the love, luck and happiness in the world and thank them for letting me be part of their special day.
