I've been interviewed!
Fotofocus interviewed me recently for their online blog.
It was not only a great opportunity for me to talk about who what and why I'm into photography, but also remind me all the great souvenirs that I've accumulated all those years.
So before you go and hopefully read this interview (and find it of interest), I would like to take the time and thank all my clients, all my subjects, all my mentors and all the people I've bumped into for the past 20+ years that have had an effect, on who I am as a person and as a photographer. I'm really enjoying myself and it is greatly thanks to you all.

Penny and Rebecca's Boudoir Experience at The Grosvenor Pulford Hotel and Spa
We recently did a boudoir photoshoot for Rebecca and Penny at the Grosvenor Pulford Hotel and Spa and we had a really good time!
The venue, if you don't already know about it, is absolutely fantastic with beautiful gardens and a wonderful pond.
The session was fantastic and we invite all of you to have a look at our main blog at http://ping.fm/x7ISk
If you have any questions about how you could have your own private boudoir experience or have a boudoir party with a group of friends, please email us at ioan@celynnenphotography.co.uk

The Rudheath Majestics come back from France!
May 2009 was a very special month for the Rudheath Majestics. Not only was it the month of their debut as an official BBF Bronco Baseball team, it was also the first time they went to France to play in the La Guerche-de-Bretagne’s Hawks baseball tournament.
Getting there was fairly straightforward. Taking the ferry from Porthsmouth to the beautiful seaside town of St-Malo, it took under 2 hours to find the hosting venue. On site, we were greeted in true Breton style, with warmth and courtesy and in the most impressive amateur baseball field I have seen in years! All the teams, from Bronco to Pony camped together by the fields which contributed for a really fun atmosphere.
Both the Senior and Junior fields were permanently fenced, thanks to the efforts of the players and their parents who also took the time to build a batting cage and dugouts for all age groups. To add to our comfort was a brand new changing rooms for the home and visitor teams, with 6 showers in each and a separate area for umpires.
Included in our €35 Euro fee were 3 meals a day, including a fabulous hog on a spit roast on Saturday night. To insure nobody had to queue for too long, teams were invited to the marquee at different times, which also made the job easier for the volunteers who worked really hard to ensure everyone had all they needed and wanted. Wether it was water, juices, wine, cider or food refills, the hosts were definitely keen to make sure that no one was hungry or thirsty.
Between meals, you could buy snacks and drinks from the mini “snack bar” under the scoring tower. Yes, you read right, they had a scoring tower. This makeshift structure was the logistical heart of the tournament, offering live commentary on the Pony team games, inviting teams to get ready to for their games, and making various announcements such as : “If anyone finds a banking card, can you please bring it back to our English friends...”
One thing which I definitely took back from that trip in terms of the facilities is the sheer amount of quality facilities which can be done by volunteers and how they can be enhanced by simply asking in the local community or companies. Even the floodlights were donated! And then, with quality facilities, it’s much easier to find sponsors or to host tournaments which are an important source of revenue for the club.
As far as the games went, the French teams were very impressive and cohesive and I’m sure could make for very good opponents for our boys. But as far as baseball is concerned, as Crash Davis’s Manager once said: You throw the ball, you catch the ball, you hit the ball.
For the Majestics, this was much more than a simple baseball tournament, it was an opportunity for our young people to go out there, have fun, meet different people and see that despite various differences, they could all understand each other through the language of baseball. I definitely recommend that all teams should give this tournament a go. It’s low-cost, quality facilities and quality of the opponents make it a great value baseball holiday! And since trips like these don’t happen by magic, the Rudheath Majestics would like to thank The Harry Fairclough Group, Celynnen Photography , Mitchell Skoda, Riverside Organic, Xuthus, Marcia Gold Photography, and of course, Majestic Athletic, for supporting our young players. Thank you!

Stay on a Cheshire Farm!
Coole Hall Farm is not only a farm, but it's also a wonderful Bed and Breakfast in Cheshire!
Bed and Breakfasts are wonderful places to stay at. Don't get me wrong, hotels are fine too! The chains offer something familiar and each have their own market and purpose.

From the picturesque drive as you approach the farm to the welcome given by the host family, everything here is set for your to relax and wind down!
Part of the Cheshire Farm Stay Network, Coole Hall Farm offers you the chance to see a real dairy farm at work as well as wonderful and comfortable accommodations! Like a lot of Farm Stay B&B's in Cheshire, the hosts make a big difference! And Carolyn Goodwin, your hostess at Coole Hall Farm, will offer you a true Cheshire welcome and offers cooked breakfasts over her Aga and will make you feel right at home! A working farm, comfortable rooms, lovely farm animals and picturesque views, Coole Hall Farm, near Nantwich has it all for you to enjoy!

The Likes of Us
Friday we saw an absolutely fantastic performance from KAOS : The Knutsford Amateur Operatics Society. Celynnen Photography had been asked to take pictures at a rehearsal of "The Likes of Us" and we couldn't resist to come back to see the show in it's entirety! Composed and written by Andrew Lloyd Webber and Tim Rice, the songs are catchy and the subject, the famous Barnardo (of children's home's and charity fame) was really interesting!
I must admit it was my first ever musical and the Knutsford Amateur Operatics Society definitely made me want to see more!
Look at our main blog to see pictures!

Celynnen Photography in the Manchester Evening News!
Promoting the bluebell walks and festivals taking place across Cheshire’s gardens in April and May, Celynnen Photography were asked to take pictures at Capesthorne Hall for Fido PR, on behalf of Visit Chester and Cheshire. The moment I was asked, I accepted when I heard it involved Fairies enjoying a good time in Bluebells! and it paid off since one of our pictures was printed in the Manchester Evening News yesterday (page 25). The picture prompted BBC North West to cover the story during their 6:30 news programme!
Very pleased... specially considering how much fun we had taking it!

If you've been reading this blog regularly, you will have probably figured out that I'm a fan of the Wrexham Symphony Orchestra . These passionate musicians bring some of the greatest classics right here in North Wales at a price that is affordable and maes a great evening out in the William Aston Hall.
Next month, they will not only play with passion, but with world-class pianist and North Wales native LLyr Williams.
Having played with the BBC Symphony and Minnesota Orchestras at the BBC Proms, BBC National Orchestra of Wales, Royal Liverpool Philharmonic Orchestra, Royal Scottish National Orchestra and the Hallé, Llyn has awed spectators and critiques from all over thanks to his intensity, passion and musical intelligence.
Come and see him at the William Aston Hall on the 2nd of May 2009

What a weekend!
I almost made a (monumental) mistake and booked us for a wedding fayre this weekend.. forgetting it was my lovely wife's 30th birthday! Lucky I didn't do that because I would have missed out on the best weekend EVER! It all started at the Boathouse Self-Catering in Llanbedrog, the most wonderul and unique self-catering I have ever seen! The tide comes right under the balcony and you wake up to the wonderful sea air!
The weather was perfect with sunshine and temperatures up to 17 degrees! A visit to my favorite beach in North Wales, Whistling Sands, made things even better. A calm secluded beach with the softest sand you will find that makes lovely squeeky noises with each step!
It all finished off at Ty Coch Inn for a lovely fish pie and pint.
But this weekend could not have been has fantastic as it was if it wasn't for the people: my wonderful in-laws who's helped me settle on this little island.
And of course, my wife for which I have so much to thank for.
Thank you all for a great weekend!!
