Anton & Erin in 'that's Entertainment' at the GI in Guildford

Add caption

Anton  and Erin are back dancing together in their new show 'that's Entertainment.'  Erin Boag has had a year off to have a baby and now with a healthy and energetic baby boy 9 months old she has her hands full!  She is no longer in 'Strictly Come Dancing' but Anton is.  Anton and Brendon are the only two surviving dancers from the original Strictly show.

A classic stage show with a large  orchestra on stage make the show very entertaining for all age groups.  Though the matinees do attract the older generation.  Masses of magnificent colorful costumes are a real treat!  Anton and Erin are accompanied by their singer Lance and six dancers.  Three men and three women dance with style and obvious great enjoyment.  Beautifully played music and great dancing from Anton and Erin are the highlights.  However Anton and Erin both have strong personalities and question and answer time is fun though sometimes a little long!  Highly recommended.

  

Rebecca and David's Wedding Red, bright orange and yellow flowers glow in this wonderful Autumnal Wedding

 A perfect Autumnal wedding.  Stunning flowers by Gabi at the Fine Flowers Company.  Rich reds , oranges and yellows of the flowers complimented the navy bows on the chairs and the suits of the groom, best man and ushers.

 Rebecca loves flowers so she was happy to be surrounded by her favourite colours.

 Hurrah we are married!

Raining outside but not for long.

 Fun in the wood with afternoon sun slanting through the trees.  Cheers! The entire party smile for the camera.

Lynette and Denis Wedding Rich Colours with the splendour of Autumnal Weddings

 Lynette and Denis chose purple, lilac and cream for their wedding.  The weather was warm and sunny so no jackets were required.  Preparations went smoothly and Lynette was calm and happy.  After the service we strolled into Richmond Park and I composed a Vogue like photo.  Everybody had a bit of fun and got into their own pose!

 Special moments in the wood.  Then back for a stylish wedding breakfast in the Russell Suite at Pembroke Lodge.

Elaine Mayson Photography at Richmond Hill Wedding Fair held by Wow Weddings

Elaine Mayson Photography had a stand on October 5th at Richmond Hill Wedding Fair held by 'Wow Weddings'.

It was a beautiful sunny Autumn day.  The atmosphere in the regal ballroom at Richmond Hill Hotel was friendly and glowing.
I think my stand was the best ever as I was given such a wonderful space to exhibit my work.  I chatted to lots of wedding couples and everybody enjoyed themselves immensely.

Thank you Adrian at 'Wow Weddings' A great success!

The wedding of Natalie Whillans & Andrew Bamford at All Hallows Church, Twickenham

Natalie Whillans, the daughter of Nicky and John Whillans arrived at All Hallows Church with a Mona Lisa smile!  I instantly knew that the day was going to be perfect

John was very proud of Natalie and gave her the 'grin.'  Those who were in Festival Ballet will know that this was his nickname in the company. A spine tingling moment for everybody as Natalie walked down the aisle with her father.  Nicky had made her wedding dress and the bridesmaids dresses.  What an achievement!  Beautiful materials were used which required skill and time to cut and sew.

The final blessing was given and the happy couple walked down the aisle. 

Congratulations!

The married couple

 Pembroke Lodge set in beautiful gardens with wonderful views is a gorgeous location for a wedding.  Surrounded by the extensive grounds of Richmond Park you could believe you were in the middle of the countryside.  The bridal party make their way to their favourite spot.  The Mum and bride both looking radiant in the porch at Pembroke Lodge.



Reading at St John's C of E School in Kingston and My Signing & Launch at Waterstones in the Bentall Centre in Kingston Upon Thames

A wonderful week.  Thank you  Anne for letting me read to the four classes at your friendly school.
The children were a delight and it was a lot of fun.  Dolphins and Blue whales are a great subject and there were so many questions from the children.  The story went down very well and the illustrations were put up onto a screen which helped set the scene.  After reading 5 chapters of my book 'The Daring Dolphins and the Divebombers' I asked the children if they wanted more and they were all shouting 'Yes' The first rowdy moment of the afternoon!

Waterstones in the Bentall Centre of Kingston gave me the right royal welcome with a very official desk.  Straight away I was chatting to boys and girls as they came into the store.  I showed them the illustrations and they loved the idea of rescuing a baby Blue Whale from a sandbank.  There are a lot of animals in my book which interests Mums and Dads and the children.  I am a member of 'Save the Whale.'  My books flew off the shelves and I had sold all of them by 2.30pm.  What a pleasurable success!

The Wedding of Ian Mayson & Andrea Hunter 2014

 Andrea putting on the final touches of lipstick as she dreams of her wedding day ahead of her.

Pastel shades of blue, lilac and pink gave a vintage slant to Andrea's beautiful bouquet.  Gilt mirrors and a four poster bed added to the grandeur of this special day.

Breath taking views of the fells from Irton, Holmrook church ensured special photographs.
