A whimsical Wonderland Wedding feature..... the blue pool

Thank you Lou at Whimsical Wonderland Weddings for featuring my work today!!

Ok, Wednesdays are not normally your most super exciting day of the week. Often called the *hump* day as you are now as close to the weekend as that dredded Monday morning blues.

Well, today has been a bit of a super cool Wednesday for me, as I have had my work featured on not one but two blogs, the first of which I'll share today and the second I'll bring you tomorrow :)

Yes, that was a smiley face I just typed. If you could see my real chubby cheeks right now they would pretty much be looking exactly the same.

Happy Wednesday all!!! Bethan xxxx

be a little bit braver......

Hmmm, I had a quick look on my computer for a photo I thought would be relevant to my first 2012 post and this one pretty much sums it up.

Ok, ok, I don't plan to spend the year
a) Lying on my back*
b) Becoming part of a BMX display stunt team*
c) being steaming drunk during the day*
                                                                                   *all apply to the photo above.

But my motto this year is to be brave. Push yourself a little (or a lot) and see what happens. It isn't nice venturing out of your comfort zone, but sometimes it is needed just to see what happens next.

The guy on the bike, Yorki is a good friend (and a supremo BMX/mountain bike rider), and even though it looks like he might be about to land on my spud shaped head and squish it to pieces, he didn't. I trusted him, was a bit brave and ended up with a good facebook profile picture for the following month. Win win tee hee :)

So I have been writing a bit of a things to achieve list this year. It is a real mix, personal goals and professional goals. I'm not usually much of a list maker, but I seriously think I might be a convert. It is suuuuch a good feeling to be able to scrub things off and feel a (briefly smug) sense of achievement.

So 2012..... bring it on matey! I'm ready and waiting xxxxxx

Thank you 2011..... you have rocked, bring it on 2012!!

Afternoon guys and gals! I hope you have all had a fab Christmas, eaten, drank (way too much) and been merry till your socks popped off!

I am starting the recovery of having hosted Christmas for my 10 family members. Ok, ok, so I forgot to buy sprouts and somehow we ended up with three (??) turkeys but it has been a brilliant week hanging out with the people who mean the absolute most to me. Love you crazy Jones clan. 

Toady I have switched back on the computer, opened up some photos to edit and started to just tie up a few ends before 2011 closes. 

I couldn't want to end my professional 2011 with a better way than to have one of my photos featured as Picture Of The Day on The Wedding Community Blog. Man, I had a serious smile when I popped my computer on to see this this morning. Plus is it a picture of the ever fantabulouse Ian and Rachael.

I can't WAIT to hit the ground running in 2012, so many exciting things lined up, a bit of a *to do* list of things I would love to achieve, but I'll be boring you all with that when I post in the new year. 

In the meantime, really hope everyone has a FANTASTIC new year, I can't say THANK YOU enough to everyone who has supported me this year (and beyond) I am a lucky girl indeed. 

Emma and Scott get married.... a winter wedding.

Just one frame from Fridays wedding, the beautiful Emma and Scott got married. I am so keen to share their amazing wedding with you. There were piglets. Need I say more? Anyway, this might be my last post before Christmas, so I just wanted to leave you with this single frame from their gorgeous red and cream wedding, hope it gets you in the festive mood, have a brilliant Christmas everyone, lots of love, Bethan xxx

Can't wait to edit todays shoot.....
