Current Exhibitions

If you like portrait photography you could do a lot worse than get yourself down to the National Portrait Gallery in London where there is a current exhibition of photography from one of the giants of the magazine industry in Vanity Fair.

"This remarkable exhibition showcases 150 portraits including classic images from Vanity Fair's early period, displayed for the first time alongside photographs featured in the magazine since its re-launch in 1983".

The exhibition runs from 14 February - 26 May 2008.

Valentines

On a day to show your love I thought it only appropriate to post one of my favourite poems from the weddings I cover. Happy Valentine's day.

I Will Be Here
Steven Curtis Chapman

If in the morning when you wake,
If the sun does not appear,
I will be here.
If in the dark we lose sight of love,
Hold my hand and have no fear,
I will be here.

I will be here,
When you feel like being quiet,
When you need to speak your mind I will listen.
Through the winning, losing, and trying we'll be together,
And I will be here.
If in the morning when you wake,
If the future is unclear,
I will be here.
As sure as seasons were made for change,
Our lifetimes were made for years,
I will be here.

I will be here,
And you can cry on my shoulder,
When the mirror tells us we're older.
I will hold you, to watch you grow in beauty,
And tell you all the things you are to me.
We'll be together and I will be here.
I will be true to the promises I've made,
To you and to the one who gave you to me.
I will be here.

Nice Idea - Jenga Guest Book

I thought it was about time I updated my nice ideas part of this blog so I'll be trawling through last years weddings to find some ideas and inspiration for you.

As wedding guest books go this one has to be one of the most unusual. Caroline & Tim handed out the Jenga game to their guests who each took a block on which to write their message to the happy couple. Not only a fun and different way to engage the guests but also something that will bring back all the memories for years to come every time you play the game.
