• Ok, springtime goals time! I know, a little different but with what’s felt like one of the longest dreary winters ever, it feels like a pretty damn good time to have a fresh look at it. So, heading into the sunnier months (fingers crossed), what do you want out of it? Are you setting yourself a goal at all, to possibly take up something, visit somewhere new? :) I’m actually setting myself a bit of a simple one, but my god, it’s one I’m finding so hard. To take my camera out with me a little more when I’m just living life. Having a phone is one thing but there’s something about having an actual purpose built camera in hand which seems to tug at the creative strings. So there we have it. So what’s yours… fancy sharing? :) ps... thought this might be a good time to share just how much I miss a good San Diego sunset.
  • Ahhh, rounding up on some serious editing this week of this incredible wedding adventure, and the first British wedding of 2020, woop woop!! We drove through flooded rivers to get there, not even kidding, the village was actually two roads from being totally cut off, (how the car didn’t cut out I’m still not sure). But once we all got there and accounted for, well, it was time to party, and damn hard! So stoked with how their pictures have turned out!!
  • Big update time. So… it’s two months to go until the big London Marathon!! Holy crap!! Nervous, incredibly excited, and just seriously ready to pound the streets of London for one epic cause. Yeah the journey to this point has been a bloody tough one to be honest. Injury after injury seemed to have been hitting my knee caps. I don’t know if it’s that I’m just getting old, ha... or the legs got shocked by the sudden reptitive long distance pounding again after 7 years. (the last time I ran London). But great news to report…. My fingers are so tightly crossed the injuries seem to be under control and over the last few months, the long distance training is officially back on track, woohoooo! And being me, I’m already setting myself crazy time goals, always the way. But more importantly, knowing I’m going to be able to run for such a fantastic charity as a living tribute to my parents makes it feel like… and I know it’s just a run, but it feels like it’s going to be the most emotional run I think I’ve ever done. Two months and counting. :)
  • It’s official, 2020 is officially up and running! What’s usually a pretty quiet few months before the spring/summer set in.. well this year, February and March are absolutely bursting with so many amazing weddings and pre-wedding shoots, woop! From these two awesome souls getting married in a gorgeous old barn in the middle of the Berkshire countryside, to a Chinese tea ceremony to a late afternoon intimate ceremony in an old coastal Inn in front of “hopefully” a slowly setting sun. What a treat this is going to be, stay tuned! :)
  • Woweee! You’re never going to guess what!? I’ve been asked to put on my very first workshop!! I genuinely can’t believe it!! It’s an idea I’ve always played about with in my head as something I’d just absolutely love to have the guts to do someday.. Yeah, I never thought I’d be worthy of hosting one, ha! But my god, the thought of doing one and being able to create a pretty unique learning experience just sounds absolutely amazing. Teaching photographers ready to take the leap to becoming a full-time photographer, techniques on how best to get comfy with your couples, storytelling etc… and then other separate workshops on helping teach people the basics of photography and getting comfy with a camera. Yeah.. the mind is pretty much exploding right now. But bloody hell, how exciting!! Liking the idea?
  • I love this tradition… enjoying a quiet moment together before the ceremony has even begun. Watching the last few bits being put together and the slow trickle of guests starting to arrive, it’s awesome! We actually did the very same for our own wedding, and having those quiet moments beforehand are a bit of a gamechanger. Bottom line… don’t let tradition dictate, do what the heck you want. :)
  • Running into the weekend with a full on sprint and crazy grins to match... I hope you have an absolutely awesome one! Photography by: @katihoy
  • Kickstarting your Friday with a massive shot of just pure “Erica” happiness!! It’s known to be infectious :) Have the best Friday!!
