There was another fantastic outdoor festival at Eastleigh over the weekend of 7-10th July 2011 with dancers from many nationalities and singers froma around the globe as well. I photographed the Kala the Arts dancers on a stage onfront of the main library, which was very challenging. Below are a couple of photographs of the event:

We just managed to dodge the rain drops with this wedding at Tylney Hall. It was probably one of the most emotional weddings I have ever photographered, the bride sobed during the ceremony, everyone in the room had a tear in their eye (including me) and everyone laughed all in the space of the 20 minuet ceremony. And what a story they had to tell: the couple first met over 40 years ago and went out together, the groom had a brother and the bride had a sister, the brother and the sister got married 40 years ago, the day before the wedding our current bride dumped the current groom. On the day of their brother and sister’s wedding the current bride and groom weren’t speaking to each other which caused some difficulties as the current bride was the cheif bridesmaid 40 years ago and the current groom was the best man 40 years ago. So 3 marriages and 40 years later they finally tied the knot and the 2 brothers are married to the 2 sisters. This was also a wedding were I managed to do the group photo as the signing of the register again, the 2 witnesses and their other halves were the only guests. Below are a couple of photos from the day:

I had the pleasure of photographing a series of professional, semi- professional and none professional indian dancers last week at the Haymarket Theatre in Basingstoke, Hampshire. They were excellent and ranged from the Bollywood style to a cross between contempory dance and Indian styles. All very good and very different. Below are a couple of images from the night:

I was offered a commision a few weeks ago to photograph some jewelry for a lady that makes beaded jewelry, one of the most challenging pieces was a purple heart crystal necklace, it was mult-faceted and so reflected just about everything. Eventually I managed to get some nice photos of it, a couple of which are below:
