Becky Butterworth, on August 28th, 2010 Where do I start? what do I say about Lisa and Duncan? what is there not to say? and how long do I have? I feel like I’ve been on a magical journey with them on their plans for their wedding day and seeing them marry this weekend totally brought a smile to my face and a little tear to my eye. Duncan and Lisa have always made me incredibly welcome, our meetings have been great fun and I have enjoyed their company and listening to their wedding plans so much – I’m going to miss it!
So here’s their story, Lisa and Duncan had their first date about four and a half years ago, it was on the big nudge of Lisa’s friend that they had that date, and it was that special friend that spent time with her whilst getting ready for her wedding. The ceremony took place at the beautiful St Mary’s church in Lowdham. Duncan was completely full of emotion and as I had the best seat in the church watching from the front, I could see that with every smile and laugh Lisa gave to Duncan it made him feel so much better! And with that I thought ‘hey, that’s the perfect recipe, knowing when someone needs a smile!’.
After the ceremony we all headed off to Tom Brown’s in Gunthorpe, the weather was great for us, the view was fab and the food and atmosphere was AMAZING! After some tears and lots of laughter from Best Man Lee’s speech we took Lisa and Duncan outside for a short walk next to the river, amazingly we’d took them to the same spot that they’d had that first date!!
After some fun for the boys with the Chinese lanterns, it was off inside for the first dance which was followed with music from a great band. It was with that we said our goodbyes and wished them both all the very very best for the future.
Lisa and Duncan, thank you so very much for being so fabulous, thank you choosing us to capture your day. We wish you both all the happiness together, we know you’ve got the perfect ingredients for it!! Lots of Love, Becky & Neil xxx

Becky Butterworth, on August 19th, 2010 So here starts a new feature to our blog ….. ‘My Parents Wedding’. I figure there’s so many of our parents wedding photographs out that that need liberating!!!

OK to start us of I have have Mr & Mrs Parkes – yes my very own Ma & Pa!! Check them out and see if there’s any resemblance!! After digging out her images and having a good old chat about who’s who, wow what were they wearing and great you had cheese and pineapple on a stick for your wedding breakfast, mum answered some questions for me on some of the details of her and my dad’s fabulous day just over 40 years ago!

Tell us a little bit about your wedding day: “We had a buffet of sandwiches, sausage rolls and pork pie, individual trifles, a three tier cake and a glass of sherry for the toast. We had to vacate the church hall at 6 o’ clock for the local guides group. As space was limited back at my parents house, your dads family went pack to his parents and then my family went to my parents house! We then enjoyed more buffet and creates of beer from ‘Beer at Home’ from Davenports”.

Becky Butterworth, on August 17th, 2010 So last Sunday I was lucky enough to join the McConnochie family for their family lifestyle shoot around Elvaston Castle. With 3 boys and 7 month old baby Skye it made for a fun afternoon. I met them as they were waving 3 wooden swords at me, thankfully I came away without any scratches! Although there were a few muddy bottoms from all the tree climbing and sliding down dirt paths – not mine though!
I love photographing boys, there’s so much energy, tree climbing, running and action from anything that comes their way! The McConnochie boys were fabulous for that, each with their own little personality they make a perfect little team and one I can see Ruth and Pete were very proud of. Baby Skye would sit watching very contently from her buggy and every so often one of the boys would venture over to her and give her a pat on the head or a little peck on the forehead – she’s going to be one protected little girl as she grows up!
Thanks for a lovely afternoon guys, it was delightful spending time with you! Keep in touch! Becky xx
