A recent wedding venue was at the OC Knockaloe Bar & Restaurant, formerly The Octel Sports & Social Club. Bridle Road, Bromborough.

read morePort Sunlight Weddings
Two weddings coming up – one this weekend and another early October, both in the delightful setting of the model workers village of Port Sunlight, the creation of William Hesketh Lever. Differing styles, but both we are looking forward to very much. This weekend its Kev and Elaine’s special day with marriage ceremony at the popular Christ Church in Port Sunlight (3 weddings that day as usual during the summer Saturdays) followed by a reception with a Liverpool theme as they are keen Liverpool FC supporters – guess the colour scheme! The beautiful church is a Grade 2 listed...
read moreSoftly Softly Scenic Schladming
Just recently come back from an 11 day break hiking around the Dachstein in the Styria region of Austria. It was a fantastic break, some hard walks up and down hills but the views and apple strudels at the alpine huts were ample reward – actually, probably too much and undid all the good the walking had done! We based ourselves in Schladming a former silver mining town but know well known in the sporting calendar for ski-ing, mountain biking and downhill golf. It has a pedestrianised centre with good selection of shops and cafes. They even have their own local brewery –...
read morePolaroid Photoshop Actions
Tried out a couple of polaroid actions in photoshop this week. First is an effective single polaroid fx action from the litlephotoshop - try it yourself its a free download. For this shot I combined with a skin softening action – also from littlephotoshop. Secondly is a multiple polaroid action which I came across in one of the flickr posts, and originates from the digitaldarkroom.com This action takes seconds to perform an action set which must have taken ages to set up originally. Again its a free download so have fun with this too. Simply load the action into actions folder of...
read moreThe Marble Church
Many times as we travelled into North Wales we would pass this beautiful Marble church near St Asaph, so called due to its striking white dominance on the landscape when travelling the A55 North Wales Express Way. We always said, one day we must stop and have a look. Well that one day eventually arrived a couple of weeks ago on a bright sunny morning. I wished I had more than just my canon G9 – were were going hiking so were travelling light. The marble church real name is St Margaret’s Bodelwyddan – erected by Lady Willoughby de Broke in memory of her husband. She laid the...
