Wedding Planning Excellence '09

Lloyd February 24th, 2009

I have been asked to speak about ‘The Changing Trends of Wedding Photography’ at the Wedding Planning excellence ’09 seminar which is being held this coming Friday and Saturday at Down Hall Hotel in Hertfordshire. The hotel was in the news last week as the venue for Jade Goody’s wedding.

The event is being organised by the UK Alliance of Wedding Planners (UKAWP) and they have posted a piece about me on their blog this week.

I’ll be talking for around half an hour about new styles of wedding photography and also about the importance of good PR portraiture. Also speaking is my good friend Mark de vaux Balbirnie from The Short Film Company.

Wedding Drama

Lloyd August 5th, 2008

A Show Biz wedding, Hurrah!
Both the Bride and Groom work in the theatre; Tim as an Actor and Emily as a Stage Manager so even if we should ‘Beware the Ides of March’, we can certainly enjoy the 4th of August.

Unsurprisingly, when it came to the vows, the Groom was word perfect and needed no prompting. Emily was also spot on although I think some of the guests may have detected a slight tremble of the bottom lip as she read her lines.

If music be the food of love, play on
The wedding ceremony and reception were held at The Newbury Manor Hotel in Berkshire which is somewhere I have performed before. The grounds are gorgeous, are bisected by the River Kennet and include a jumbo sized chess set.

Friends, Romans, countrymen, lend me your ears!
Many of the guests were of a theatrical bent and were given ample room to shine by the presence of a Message Room which reminded me a lot of the Big Brother’s Diary Room (not that I watch such programmes you understand…). This was supplied by the Short Film Company; in ones, twos and sometimes threes the guests visited the room to leave messages for the Bride and Groom.
