Eugh what’s with the weather this week!? As I write this the rain is banging down on my office window and it’s all looking a bit minging out there. Good job it’s time for Thursday Treats – let’s bring some much needed sunshine to this miserable day! I also hope the photo at the top of this post adds some laughs to your day. Naughty Gareth! I love this shoot we did with Tinywater Photography while we were in LA last August (more here). Having cute photos to remember your trips is proper cool. We’re off to New York next week and yes we have a shoot with another of my favourite wedding photographers scheduled for while we’re there. I can’t wait!

As a little side note, this week I spent some time in Brighton, and amidst hanging out with my sister, Roo & Lamb and drinking one too many cocktails, Lisa and I got to planning some of the photo shoot details for the next Photography Farm, taking place in July. I am SO EXCITED about the farm – it’s more than just another workshop, it’s like a wedding photographers retreat! Three days of laughing, learning and making new BFFs….oh I do love it so! There are still places available so if you fancy coming along with us, check out all the info here!

If you only watch one video this week, make it Gala’s TED talk on Radical Self Love. She is soooo amazing and a huge inspiration. I am honoured to call her my friend…

Although if you’re a Back to the Future nerd like me, you have to watch this too!

Did you hear?!
