Heidi and Glen

The whole look of everything today all tied in so well. The guys had a great classic look with the gold wasitcoats and ties and Heidi's veil gave her a classic/vintage look the suited the garden backdrop perfectly. Just one minor hiccup. The limo got locked in the botanical gardens. They had arranged to have the gates opened after hours so the they were able to get out and get to the reception but this didn't happen quite to plan. I was blissfully unaware of this as I must have gotten out just in time. I was happily photographing away at the reception and then 10, 15, 25 minutes past and still no bride and groom. Me and Phil (the DJ) had a great chat though. Nice bloke. Good news is they did eventually make it and the night seemed to kick off a light note despite the gardens lock down.

The First Ever Salt Wedding

A bit of a flashback. The photos below are the first time the Salt Studios team ever collaborated together but not in the way you are thinking. After almost 6 years, times have definitely changed. My wife Letoya and I now have two beautiful little girls, have started and run our own business and even after all that we still like each other :-). Hope you guys like the blast from the past.

Evie

What a cutie. In the hour or so shoot we did, i don't think the camera stopped the entire time. Whenever i thought i had 'the shot' she would grin again or laugh or just get cuter. Very fun. Good luck to Mum and Dad to try and pick just one to put up on the wall.

Moore Family

You might remember Paul and Hayley from their wedding photos http://andrewcoatesphotography.blogspot.com/2009_02_01_archive.html about 18 months ago. Well...they are having a massive change in their life!! Off to Boston for a few years!! After many anxious months the time had come to pack the bags, give the hugs and kisses and say 'bon voyage'. But to give them a few memories from home, Hayley organised to get the family together for a portrait shoot. Even the fluffy, four legged member sof the family came along.
