Liz & Kris

Liz and Kris chose to marry in the grand surroundings of St Mary and All Saints Church in Beaconsfield which, according to it's web site "is one of the finest Churches in the Chilterns".
As you can see from the photographs we captured, the sun shone for most of the day.



The couple chose to hold their reception just a couple of miles away at the Beaconsfield Golf Club where Liz's Father Phil is a member and Liz herself played when she was young.

The old clubhouse was a perfect backdrop when, after the wedding breakfast, the couple and their guests wandered outside in the early evening light.


Mr & Mrs Taylor are off to Mexico on Tuesday for a two week honeymoon.

Blowing your own trumpet

On Saturday I was at the wedding of Chris Taggart and Sarah Cousins. Although we were expecting the first rain for a couple of weeks the weather held and towards the end of the afternoon we were pleasantly surprised to see some sunshine.

The wedding took place at The Hop Farm in Kent and as Sarah and her father entered the room and walked up the aisle we enjoyed a live rendition of the “Trumpet Voluntary”.


Nothing particularly unusual in that, you might say, except that the trumpet was being played by Chris who obviously felt that he didn’t have enough to worry about!


The musical theme continued during the signing of the register as the Best Man, Anirban, and his wife Annalise sang Mozart’s “Bei Mannern, welche Liebe Fuhlen” from the Magic Flute supported by a string quartet.


Sarah and Chris’ first dance was to the Richard Rogers classic “I Could Write a Book”.

Sannah and Dermott

Last Friday Sannah and Dermott married at the very pretty Church of Our Lady & St Joseph in Stock,Essex.
Over 100 guests squeezed into the small church to witness the ceremony.


During the Holy Communion Tenor David Newman sang Panis Angelicus accompanied by Angela Moore on the Harp. The pair also performed Ave Maria whilst the Bride and Groom signed the register.


The couple left the church in a vintage cream coloured Rolls Royce.





The wedding reception was held at Braxted Park, a Georgian Mansion with beautiful grounds and a walled garden.

My new, improved, Organic and Fair Trade web site!

For those of you who haven’t already seen it, my new web site is now ‘live’ and online.



It’s the same domain name, LloydDobbie.com but with a radically different look to it and many new images.
I am especially pleased with the Portfolio show which is designed using the latest Flash animation.

Thanks to everybody who has already commented; any thoughts are most welcome as are reports of bugs or problems you may have running the site on your particular set up.



I would love to take all the credit for the new site but I can only lay claim to the photographs. The hard graft and inspirational design has come from Vicki at Rubber Design and I would like to thank her for all her creativity and patience (which she has needed in abundance!).
