As 2012 comes to a close I'd like to take this opportunity to thank all of my clients, both past, present and future, and of course the fantastic venues and wedding suppliers who recommend me for all your support in 2012.
I'd especially like to thank my husband, daughter, family and friends for putting up with me!

It's been a fantastic year, full of lots of memories - both for me and for my lovely clients. Lots of beautiful weddings I've had the priviledge of photographing, lots of gorgeous families and lots of scrummy newborn babies who I've photographed.

I'm very lucky to do something that I love and it really is a priviledge, and a honour, to be asked to be your photographer.

This year has had lots of highlights for me, the first was becoming a finalist at the Kent Wedding Awards for the Wedding Photographer of the Year. Sadly I didn't win the title but I will be entering again!!
I also travelled to County Mayo, Ireland to photograph the beautiful wedding celebrations of Alannah and Tom at the gorgeous Mount Falcon Country Estate. You can read about it and see some of the photographs earlier in this blog.
I photographed the youngest newborn I've ever photographed (apart from my own daughter), baby Jack at just 4 days new.
I photographed the daughter of one of my wedding couples exactly one year on from their wedding - and their daughter has the same name as my daughter.
Lots of highlights in 2012 that I can't list them all.

I'm excited as we enter 2013, lots of lovely weddings to look forward too and new babies already booked in for their first photo shoot with me.

BUT, I'm most excited about 2013 as it is my 15th year as a professional photographer so I will be celebrating my 15 years with monthly offers and the odd giveway! So, please do keep an eye on the blog and also keep up to date by giving my facebook page a 'like', www.facebook.com/level11 and you could just benefit!!

I am also excited to be exhibiting at the Wedding Fair at Glow, Bluewater (http://weddingfairatbluewater.com/) in February, 8-10th, and again in October. Plus I will also be exhibiting at the Baby and Toddler Show at Glow, Bluewater in April. 
So, if your planning your wedding please do come along in February and see me at stand S8 for some very special show offers and a look through some of my gorgeous wedding albums.

I have 20 pairs of complimentary tickets to the wedding show to give away, to grab yours please just email me at claire@level11.co.uk

Finally, I'd like to wish you all a very Happy New Year! I hope it's full of love, happiness and fun with good health to enjoy every moment!

Here are just a few of my favourite photographs that I've captured in 2012...

Here's to a sucessful 2013 filled with lots more wonderful memories!

...coming soon!!

 I've been really slack with my wedding blogs so I will be blogging all my fabulo-so weddings VERY soon!
I have lots of amazing weddings to show off!

Watch this space!

...by night!

Syon Park was the amazing venue for Saturday's wedding. This venue was where Katie Price's make-up artist, Gary Cockerill married his long term partner Phil Turner which was shown as part of the Channel 4 progamme 'Four Weddings'......on which I have also been on - not as a bride, as a photographer!!

Syon House is also the residence of the Duke of Northumberland.

I will be posting more photographs from Katie and Brendon's wedding once I've edited all the photographs however I just wanted to share this photograph to show off Syon Park in all it's gorgeous-ness!

Well, it was close run thing but Dom ultimately prized himself out of the Jaguar XJR-S that he'd treated himself to for the weekend.....and walked into Quex House to marry his gorgeous other woman!

Linz looked stunning, more than a match for a £90k supercar! After the ceremony, we took a drive in the Vintage Vows Rolls down to the beach at Minnis Bay for some off-the-wall wedding day photos!

Back to the sunny gardens at Quex House for a superb wedding breakfast, speeches and fireworks.

It was great to be working with our good friend Mark from The Short Film Company again, and you can see the 2-minute film clip HERE and Linz & Dom's album online HERE

Andy. It was Andy!

Great to bump into an old school mate Ian Mileham at the wedding -we haven't seen each other for about xx years!
