Welshot Wedding Workshop

Sun 17th May - enjoying a mini-break in Anglesey and a wedding workshop courtesy of Welshot Imaging was an enjoyable birthday treat.

Even having done several weddings before it was great to have the chance to learn new techniques with lighting and poses. A master class from Flintshire photographer, Mike Williams, took us through all the stages of a wedding, sharing secrets of poses and then giving the group ample opportunity to have a go too. The bride and groom models were very accommodating!

The sun made a welcome appearance in the afternoon and we were able to get some lovely shots in the beautiful setting on the Menai straits at the Gazelle Hotel, Glyn Garth in Anglesey.

A fun interactive workshop, well worth it.

UPDATE 20th May 2009
Have recently received printed copy of this book - the printing is superb and overall very pleased, well packaged, took about 10 days to arrive, as expected. The large format of this book will ideally suit our lower end of wedding coffee table books - lower end of our range of wedding album options but still great quality wise.

Unfortunately one page was slightly stuck to the adjacent one and tore th print in a small area.
Customer services promptly sorted this out (requested images to be sent of damage so didn't have to return as with other companies) and another copy is the post.

Wilson Trophy Finale

An exciting race finish this afternoon for the Wilson Trophy - a best of five between Larchmont from the USA in the blue sailed dinghies and West Kirby in the grey sails.
CONGRATULATIONS to the home team, West Kirby Hawks taking it to the wire in a 3-2 win on a bitingly cold windy day for the spectators. Just about managed to keep the hands from shaking to take some pics. See a selection in the gallery.

Wilson Trophy 2009

The diamond edition of the Wilson Trophy competition, a decider for the 2009 British Open Team Racing Championships , takes place this weekend on West Kirby Marina.Its a prestigious international dinghy team racing event, people from all over the world arrive - especially noticed a large influx from New York to watch one of 3 teams from the USA.



It a colourful and chaotic looking spectacle with 42 teams comprising 252 sailors ; around 300 individual races are sailed in West Kirby's Sailing Clubs 24 evenly matched Firefly dinghies and 26 highly experienced umpires deliver instant on-the-water justice to the competitors.

The large marina with its position in the Dee estuary provides ideal weather conditions. Its a shame that the lake wall is currently closesd for repairs - and now the maintenace company has gone bust - but still able to get plenty of shots from the promenade. Its the round robin knock out day day, fast and furious races...who will win...we will have to wait ands see
