Pringle shaped churches ...

I've been over to see Jess and Matt tonight who marry in August to chat about their final plans for their special day. I'm still chuckling about some of the things. When we first met I'd made a brief note that said 'Pringle shaped' when we chatted tonight I remembered that shape refereed to the church! I'm obviously very intrigued about that one. With only a couple of months to go their in the full swing of the final preparations, they also showed me their rings which are fantastic to match a fab couple. See you very soon!!

While I'm blogging here's a couple of my fav images from Cumbria last week. The first of our friend Chloe and daughter Matilda, wizzing passed on their bicycle. Chloe had gone to fetch something from the car and returned on the bike with little Matilda holding on tight at the back! The second an image that Neil took whilst we were on the back of a boat on Ullswater, It was nice and sunny that day and the calm of the water coming from underneath the boat was idyllic. Oh and finally, check out my new back pack, little Eddie has found a better alternative to his buggy.

City shoot with Sherrelle ...

I posted a little while back some images from the shoot with Neil and Wayne with the beautiful Sherrelle. It was on a scorching day, but they had loads of fun and I'm sad I missed out! They returned to the spot where Emma had taken us previously on a recent shoot, so they could track down some more great shooting sites there. Here's some of Neil's images from the morning!

A special time to remember

Today I was so happy to be capturing a special time for Cerys who had her first Holy Communion today. It was made ever more special in that Cerys had asked for her day to be documented and wanted a memory book of the images from her special day that she'll be able to cherish though life.

I'm not a hoarder myself, probably more to do with the fact that there's no space to be with children and their toys, but I keep things that mean a lot to me. Baby's first sleep suit, hair cutting and toy. So it's a great companion to any memory box to have a book of images from a special occasion in life.

Best wishes Cerys, I could see you were having a fabulous day. You're a real star!!

Urban Lifestyle in Nottingham City

Today Neil and our associate photographer Wayne, met up with Sherrelle for an urban lifestyle shoot in Nottingham City. They've returned with great images, and had a fab time in some hot temperatures.

Sherrelle their model was fun to work with and full of energy throughout the shoot. Full slideshow to come later!

Living the Lifestyle ..

Lots of lifestyle shoots this week what with the half term holidays and finally we've seen some SUNSHINE!!! I just love it, love it, love it! It looks like there's more to come too this weekend, which is fantastic as we're at Belvoir Castle on Saturday.

This week has included a large family shoot in Newark, which was such fun and with very nice families and fantastic children! A shoot with a local police superintendent, and the amazing Sweetin family.

Enjoy your weekend, whatever you're doing!!

In the City with Emma

Neil and I spent some time this morning with Emma around Nottingham city centre. We timed the shoot really well to fit around the heavy rain showers, starting in the hub of the city and then were undercover when the rain came down in the 'Park Tunnel'.

We had a great time with Emma and without Neil & I realising we had started the shoot just outside Emma's college. So the portfolio of these images should create a great memory of her college days!

May Day ...

What a great week we've had, I can't believe it's nearly Sunday again. It's been a busy mix of business and family times, as we started the week with our daughters birthday (the finale of her party is tomorrow). On Tuesday we had a tour of the beautiful Belvoir Castle which is our next wedding venue and it was stunning, so we look forward to our next visit there! I also met with Helen and Mark who have booked us to photograph their wedding this August and chatting to a few families who have enquired about Summer Lifestyle shoots.

I'll sort through some of this weeks images and blog them later, in the meantime here's a mini slideshow of the pre-wed shoot of the fabulous Matt and Jess.

What makes us smile ...

We love creating memories for our clients, in fact client seems a strange word to describe the people we meet and photograph. I'd like to think they'd be happy to be known as a friend, as the time we spend together includes lots of laughter, often emotion and relaxed chit chat. So what makes us smile (and sometimes produce a little tear of happiness!) is to receive and see wonderful comments that our 'friends' say about us, Butterworth Photography.

Here's a few recent comments to share with you:

"I just want to say thank you so much for the work you did at ...... You worked tirelessly throughout the day and night, provided a very professional service which really exceeded my previous experiences and expectations of wedding photography and moreover, you took great photo's!!"

"... wow we are going to have some fab wedding photos! Just spent the afternoon having a pre wedding shoot in Nottingham. Thanks the Butterworths!"

"... still buzzing after our pre-wedding shoot with Butterworth Photography! Thanks Neil and Rebecca!"

Thank you for the great comments and for making us smile, we love spending time with all those that we meet and it's fantastic that you have a great time too!

And as every post needs a picture, here's what else makes us smile ...

Beautiful morning ......

We've had a fabulous day which all began when we met up with Jessica and Matt for their pre-wedding shoot at the gorgeous Hardwick Hall. We first met Jess and Matt at the Newstead Abbey wedding fair last October, their an amazing couple and we had some great fun, with the weather staying nice for us too!

See you both in August for your special day - we're excited already!

Here's a few images from this morning - my favourite from today is at the top, I just think it really captured the fun & love!

Pre-Wedding shoot with Lisa, Archie & Seth

This morning I was in great company with Lisa, Archie and their son Seth for their pre-wedding shoot at Elvaston Castle, Derbyshire. It gave us the opportunity to catch up on their wedding day plans for June at Donnington Manor. They're a fabulous family and I still can hear little Seth's amazing chuckle if I close my eyes, it's one of those noises you'd want to try and bottle and keep - and open to make you smile!

Look forward to seeing you all in June!

Congratulations Pete & Abby...

Yesterday we photographed the beautiful wedding of Pete and Abbey at Holme Pierrepont Hall. It was a fabulous day and they both looked stunning, it was a great pleasure for us to be a part of it.

I really enjoyed the family spirit of the whole event, the ceremony included readings and music from members of Abby and Pete's friends and family, and the speeches were also about special family moments - rather than the groom's past mishap stories!

A big thank you to Tillyboo event organisers who's staff were fab and created a beautiful setting for the guests during the reception. The food was superb and I heard so many comments about the soup being especially delicious!!

Pete and Abby we wish you all the happiness together, and look forward to meeting up again soon.

Easter Bunny ...

I was on the Easter bunny run this week, which included a trip to see our nieces and nephew over in Leicester. The weather was fine for a while so they managed to get outside on the swings. Had the camera with me (no surprise there) and caught a few shots when they weren't swinging so high! Happy Easter to the other 'Butterworths'.

Dancing in the Moonlight ...

It's been a fun and busy week, feels like a long time since I posted on the blog but it was only Sunday. I think it's because our daughter is on holiday from school, we're trying to cram as much time with her and our son as we can ... and the enormous inflatable dinosaurs that now reside in our lounge.

Neil and I had a great evening on Monday in Nottingham City Centre with James and Lisa. We had a lifestyle shoot with them a while ago and I had mentioned that I was interested in photographing something similar, but using the lights of the city, they were keen to help and we had a blast. Here's an image next to the Nottingham Wheel (as we must call it now!)I'll pop some more images on at the weekend.

Thanks Lisa and James, it's always a pleasure to photograph you!

Thank you!

We were at Newstead Abbey wedding fair today in Nottinghamshire. We love being at Newstead, the staff are great and what a special place to be - especially when the sun shines.

Thank you to everyone who came over for a chat and to those who made a booking with us - we look forward to seeing you soon! If you have any questions at all or would like us to visit you to discuss your special day, then please get in touch, we'd love to hear from you.

Big thanks also to Wayne who helped us through the day!

Great shoot with Nick

This morning we spent a couple of hours with Nick creating a mini portfolio for him. We had a great time, although it was bitterly cold with a heavy wind and constant rain. We found cover and managed to fit lots in to our shoot. Great work Nick, we hope to work with you again in the future!
