The week end flew by with busy days photographing two weddings. Saturday's wedding brought difficult lighting conditions as the sun was very bright, and it was so cold and windy, I don't think anyone wanted to hang around for long having their pictures taken. S took some amazing pictures during the service. One of my favourites was a picture he took using a fish-eye lens. He was able to get all the detail of the beautiful church, the bride and groom and pretty much all of the congretation. The venue for the reception was Sandon Hall. This is also a magnificant venue with plenty of wonderful backdrops both inside and outside.

The wedding on Sunday was at a local hotel. I woke up to snow on the ground but by midday most of it had melted away. For the first time I was working off two cameras, S's Nikon and my own little Canon 350d. There was a great atmosphere at this wedding which I hope I captured in the pictures I took.

Then today, I bought a new camera. I got myself a Canon 5d! I know there are rumours that Canon are replacing the 5d later this year with an upgrade, but the price they are offering on the current model, which has a really good reputation was enough to tempt me to upgrade my own gear now. S gave me some really good advice yesterday. He's been brilliant to work with. There's no way I would have been able to do justice to D and E's wedding in July without all this experience before hand.
