| It's A Dottie Old World |
In a romantic mood today well it is my wedding anniversary, yes we've been married now for 13 years unlucky for some but not for us! And as I am in such a romantic mood I wanted to share with you one of my favourite finds for this year Dottie Creations (Mandy & Zoe) who create the most amazing wedding stationery and are incredibly talented wedding photographers and who photographed Rebecca and Jame's wedding on August 20th in Swanton Morley. They create romantic, glamorous and fun work that is clearly a cut above. However if you check out their website at www.dottiecreations.com you'll see that their talents are not limited to one area and trust me their wedding photography will blow your socks off! With the launch of their new website at www.dottiephotography.co.uk I wish them loads of love and luck for a very dottie future. I think the Dottie concept is fab but don't just take my word for it here are a few words from Mandy.

We love shooting weddings and get so excited by it all, Its a real compliment to be trusted by a couple to shoot their special day!
We take great pride in what we do and never rest for one second always looking for something to happen and if it doesn't well... we help it along... just a little!
We love all our couples and by the end of the day we feel like we have made some really great friends. We are a little dottie sometimes, which is where the company name came from.
Rebecca and Jame's wedding was lovely, they were a brill couple and where really up for doing some fun stuff, we also designed and manufactured their wedding invitations, table plan and guestbook. Our new website is just about finished and our new customer websites are going down really well. Rebecca and Jame's website as been tailored to match their wedding stationery its terrific and also enables them to add their pre-wedding shoot images and thank-you messages, so its really individual.

| Rebecca & James' Swanton Morley Wedding |
Today Molly and I spent the day with Rebecca and James. Molly drove our Bride Rebecca from Hunters Hall Swanton Morley to All Saints Church in the village. The church in Swanton Morley is fabulous and sits on the hill so it can be seen from miles around. After the wedding ceremony and photographs by Dottie Photography ( www.dotttiecreations.com) the couple were taken back to Hunters Hall for the wedding breakfast and reception. It was such a glorious day with the temperature surprisingly just taking off into the 20's! Molly looked amazing in her Primrose ribbons. |

| A Towering Success |
Molly had a trip out to Colchester today for the wedding of Corina and Guy. Corina was picked up from Colchester and taken to Layer Marney Tower (www.layermarneytower.co.uk). Molly met the resident Rolls Royce whose job it had been to take the bridesmaids there. The couple spent the day at the venue and once inside didn't emerge again so no pics of the Bride this time! |

| A Glamorous Sunday With A Vintage Twist |
Pinch punch first day of the month and the last wedding of the week for me and Dolly our 1970 Volkswagen Beetle. I love Sunday weddings, there's just something about being married on a Sunday that feels so right, mind you I am slightly biased as I was married on a Sunday! Today was the special day of Holly and Chris. Holly our Bride who looked stunning in a very glamorous white 40's/50's Hollywood gown was taken from the family home in Aylsham to the ceremony venue of The Old Rectory in Crostwick. The couple with their closest family were to spend the day at the venue having afternoon tea with vintage crockery and then a barbeque later in the day. Everything about today was lovely especially the couple who have been a joy from the moment we met in 2009. |

| Donna & Tom's Big Day |
Lowestoft today for Molly but what has happened to this weather of ours?! The rain started off quite unnoticeable until it decided to come down in great bucket loads. The rain aside today's couple Donna and Tom most certainly didn't let it spoil their day at all. The bridal party were picked up from Carlton Coleville, the Bride in Molly and the four bridesmaids in a classic Jaguar supplied by Wedding Cats of Norwich. The party were taken to The Parkhill Hotel in Oulten where the wedding ceremony was held and then later the wedding breakfast. |

Dolly was also out today at another wedding, that of Laura and Ryan's special day. The day began with the pick up of our Bride Laura in Aylsham for the journey to The Dairy Barns Hickling a venue we have had the pleasure of going to on a number of occasions now. The ceremony and reception were all at the Dairy Barns. After the wedding ceremony the newly married couple were taken for a drive out to Sea Palling for photographs on the beach before being taken back to the Dairy Barns for the wedding breakfast. As you can see from the photograph there is quite a relaxed mood with the couple just having returned from the beach and are enjoying a glass of Champagne while Dolly looks on! |

| Elizabethan Style For Molly & Sadie |
July 17th saw us travelling out towards Ipswich on another wall to wall sunshine day. Molly and Sadie the chosen cars for todays wedding of Nicola and Neil picked up on the outskirts of Ipswich in Kesgrave. The wedding party which consisted of the Bride and her Father and three bridesmaids all friends of the Bride were taken to Woodhall Manor a beautiful Elizabethan Manor House in the village of Sutton near to Sutton Hoo and the town of Woodbridge. Woodhall Manor is certainly an impressive and very spectacular venue, but also a friendly venue which has a welcoming feel to it. The couple today were married in the open air in an enclosed garden area of the manor which made for a very romantic ceremony. The cars were at home here as you can see from the photographs in front on the main entrance to the manor house. This was a one venue wedding and by all accounts Woodhall was the perfect spot to spend your entire day. Todays photography was done by bushfire photography who are based in Felixstowe you can see their website at www.bushfirephotography.co.uk. |

| Some Like It Hot! |
July 10th 2010 and another scorching hot day well above the estimated 30 degrees at least it felt like it for those of us in suits! Ruby our 1961 Morris Minor Convertible and I found ourselves at the wedding of Pip and Jeremy in Woodbridge, Suffolk. Ruby and I felt right at home in the lovely setting of Woodbridge with it's historic buildings and fabulously impressive parish church of St Mary's at the heart of the town where our couple were to take their vows. Woodbridge has to be one of the friendliest towns I have visited to date, Ruby and I met some lovely chatty people here who made us feel so very welcome. After the wedding ceremony Pip and Jeremy were taken in Ruby to their wedding reception at the splendidly unique venue of Glemham Hall. |
