Prague

For my birthday, my husband and went to Prague in October 2008. Although it's a chilly time of year to visit, the streets were still teaming with tourists. The Czech people are friendly and provide good customer service. I wonder, though, if the people that live in Prague ever get tired of the constant stream of tourists. It must be unbearably packed with people in this city in the summer and I'm glad we went in the fall. I actually found it uncomfortably touristy, which is a shame, as it is an absolutely beautiful place, packed with amazing architecture, great food, unique shops (when you look outside the tourist sections) and a turbulent history. Perhaps we'll visit the Czech Republic again, but as far as Prague goes, been there- done that! My main computer is currently in the shop, so more images will be added soon.

Baby Bump

Faith Stone Photography had a great baby bump portrait session in October. Lisa was really excited about the shoot and splurged for a makeup artist to make the session results even better. Cory did a fab job on the hair and makeup and Lisa looked like a true star! If you're pregnant, consider documenting your pregnancy with photography by Faith Stone Photography! It's all the rage, and in some years from now, I'll bet your kids will love to look back on that portion of their life that they couldn't see from the outside:) I've also got some great little albums on offer to put all the greatest images in!

Laura and Ant Forbes

Laura found my website somehow and hired me just before I left on my holiday! And what luck for me. Laura and Ant are a great team and their wedding was just the way they wanted it, low key and laid back. The venue was the gorgeous Glendorgal Hotel in Porth, Newquay, Cornwall. The weather was quite overcast and we had to work around spots of rain, but it made for some dramatic skies and some lovely, soft light. Congrats to a fun couple and enjoy your images!

Alison and Andrew's Wedding

What a fabulous day for Alison and Andrew! After many months of careful preparation, this heart warming couple tied the knot at St. Audries Park in Somerset. The day started out a bit on the cloudy side, but the sun came out just as Alison's tiara was put in place. The rest of the day was partly cloudy, a perfect soft box in the sky. It was an emotional day and much anticipated. Alison was quite calm as she and her bridesmaids got ready, but Andrew seemed to be wringing his hands most of the time! The ceremony was quite beautiful with plenty of laughter and tears. Confetti was in abundance and the young bridesmaids were absolutely over photographed, as expected and without denial! I just couldn't help myself.... Just adorable. The day continued on and this couple was gracious to invite me to the remainder of the event as a guest. Thanks so much for a beautiful day. We look forward to continuing our friendship with the Normans and plan to soon visit you in Wales! -Hugs and the Best of Wishes to a couple who is so obviously in Love- Faith Stone Photography

2008 Watchet Carnival Parade

The 27th of July was the annual Watchet Carnival Parade. My talented husband managed to motorize a couch and went with a friend as Wayne and Garth from Wayne's World. My friend and I went as Carhop Girls. We had great fun! The day was perfect and the parade must have seen twice as many participants as last year. I had so much fun, I didn't take many pictures! It was difficult as I was on roller skates some of the time, and having been MANY years from my prime roller skating days, I was afraid to try to skate and shoot at the same time! So here's a few my husband and I took while we awaited the parade to begin. If there's an image you really like, just email me to order a print!

Why not come along to Cream Cafe, enjoy a salad and a coffee- enjoy the images! Cream is located in the Parade, Minehead, Somerset.
