Welcome Home.. A workshop by Emma Case

| SallyT

Oh god, where do I begin.. I’ve long been a massive fan of Emma’s work for so many reasons, even sending her a fan email around a year ago (yes, a ‘fan’ email..) and when she revealed she would be doing a workshop I knew I’d do everything I could to get there.

The day got off to a terrific start… not. I set off just before 6am after being up through the night with a toddler who wanted her dummy back, and after a few hours of driving managed to get caught in the Brummie Bermuda Triangle that is Spaghetti Junction.. jeez. Sat nav or no sat nav I was going to be late. I needn’t have worried, Emma’s lovely other half Pete came bounding down to get me from reception in the Custard Factory (the most amazing space you could EVER visit, never mind work in) to rescue me when I arrived, and quickly sorted me a brew as I sat down with everyone else and thought “oh god, I’m actually here!!”

Let’s play catch up..

| SallyT

To all followers out there, I’m sorry I’ve been a little neglectful of my blog.. I’ve been tying up loose ends at uni and had my final exams last week (5 in 5 days.. whose great idea was that?!).. but now my own wedding season has begun I promise to be more attentive in the future.

Now I have slightly more free time I’ve embarked upon a 365 project to develop my personal portfolio and hopefully keep me creative.. The 365 project is a photograph a day for the next year.. There are only two so far but I’ll most likely post on a monthly basis to show what I’ve been up to on here and on my facebook site..

Here are the first two, a very lovely lady from Whitby Goth Weekend and fab couple Tracy & Chris from their wedding reception on Saturday:

In other news, Love My Dress have featured What Katy Did Next’s Alice shoot which I photographed..

I flicked through Belle Bridal Magazine and found a few of my photographs..

I’ve started collecting a few gorgeous wedding dresses for June’s shoot, and hopefully lined up a videographer to make a short film of the day..

I took Vivienne, my sister and her friend down to the first ever Wedding Institute in Saltburn.. Vivienne ADORED getting her nails done by Nancy Loves Nails and hasn’t stopped talking about them since..

And more than anything I’m celebrating having some flexible time! This week I’m taking Vivi to my friend’s farm to see the lambs, a Sal’n’Dav’n’Vivi day, seeing friends on Saturday, family on Sunday, leisurely cooking and family dinners..  and generally catching up with everything I’ve had to push to one side for uni recently.. BRING ON SUMMER!

Florals, hair clips and lazy weekends..

| SallyT

From a few weekends ago but a bit cute nonetheless.. Anyone with a little girl will be able to share in the joy of watching them dress up and ‘beautify’ themselves endlessly! Vivi obviously also has a thing for florals and clashing prints and came up with this ensemble on her own..

Have you all had a good weekend?

St Anton am Arlberg

| SallyT

I took a little break in the run up to Easter and drove off to St Anton to do a bit of skiing and try and relax a bit before exams with my Dad, sister and friend.. saying that I slept with revision next to me on the bed at night and ended up doing more than I expected!

St Anton is so, so gorgeous. Our chalet was about 10m from the lift up the slopes and a short walk into the village. We all got a bit hooked on goulash soup and beer (an eye-watering 5-6 euros a pint!) at lunchtime and explored the area well during the 5 days we were there. Fell over three times, managed a few blacks and developed a dependancy on olives.

I can’t wait to go with Dav and Viv sometime in the future and see Viv in Ski-Scule!

Here are some faves..
