What a fantastic day!

Today, for the first time in 5 YEARS, I went on a bike ride. It helped that it was the first sunny Saturday in a while and I went on a website called Bikely where you can find routes near you or share your favorites and add really specific tags. Let's put it this way, I didn't ask for any steep hills..

It was a lovely route that took me from Rossett to Pulford, Dodleston, Lower Kinnerton, Higher Kinnerton, Hope and Llay. I was meant to go through Burton Green but I missed a turn. Still cycling through these beautiful vilages was really lovely and I crossed quite a few smiley faces, some of them gave me a few directions which was appreciated..

Next time I'll try and find myself a nice gps for my bike if there is such a thing.

I don't have a mountain bike or a road/race bike. I have a hybrid! Now if you're wondering why I'm going on about this is because I find a lot of people are either not aware of them or steered away as they seem to be the lacking a bit of appreciation.

Personally, I LOVE my hybrid! Sturdier than a road bike with a more comfortable driving position but lighter than a mountain bike with tires fit for road and trail a perfect all-rounder!

OK, that's me finished ranting now..but next time you buy a bike think about this: do you want to race or do you want to simply ride your bike? Also, do you really need massive knobley tires with large suspension forks? Come on, give a hybrid a chance!

La Suz Creations!

Ever wanted quality, bespoke jewellery? Think you can't afford it? Think again!
My good friend Laura, which I haven't seen since my wedding party (hint, Laura! Take a plane!!) has been doing these beautiful necklaces and earring and all sorts! Have a look at her blog and her online shop and soon, you will be wearing the same jewellery as some news anchors! (How lucky is she?!)

Love is in the air...

Catchy tune, I know!!
And it also seemed to apply to these guys:


Barely a week after the superb wedding of Taniya and Paul in Portmeirion, Neil and Amy were up from Cardiff for their engagement session at Talacre Beach. The beach, you ask?! Yes! Firstly, there is a lovely lighthouse which ads to the pictures, I think, and, having had the chance to speak to Amy a few times over the phone, I knew absolutely nothing was going to wipe that smile from her face! Good thing too since we had a bit of rain but the beautiful and spectacular light of the "Golden Hour" worked it's magic on this beautifull beach of Flintshire, North Wales and we ended up with a fantastic set of pictures and had a great time all around!

Next time we see each other, it's going to be for their wedding in Soughton Hall. And remember Amy. It's in 8 weeks!
;)

Only a few days left!

Ever notice the couple on top of my contact's page?
That's Paul and Tanya! I took that picture at an event I attended earlier in the year!
The other day we did an engagement shoot with them around the beautiful city of Chester, in Cheshire, UK. (As opposed to the one in PA..) Well, if I can say so myself, we had a great time! I made sure we came in early enough to avoid the crowds and have the city centre to ourselves. Tanya and Paul came in looking very trendy I tought and we essentially spent the next few sunny hours taking pictures around places that were significant to them.

Engagement shoots are great for a few reasons. First, it allows us to get comfortable with each other and know what the couple likes and doesn't like. Also, we use it as a bit of a guiding session so that when we do the wedding day photography, they place themselves like pros!
One thing that we absolutely need to mention: the wedding venue!!
They are getting married in Portmeirion! How cool is that? So not only am I so lucky to be part of their "big day", but I also get to do it in one of my favorite places in the UK as well!

Thanks a lot guys and I can't wait till Sunday!
