Start of the month means that I have some wonderful new sponsors to introduce you to.  Those of you avid readers of the blog will remember our first sponsor Tim Fox Photography as we went behind the lens and met him as one of our Meet the Experts series.  Tim is based in France and is an English creative photographer, shooting weddings in a contemporary, documentary, candid style.

Describing herself as a junk collector and ebay addict, I am delighted to introduce Tarah Coonan and her photographic work on the blog.  Of her style Tarah says: “I work quietly to capture the candid moments as they happen and I specialise in creating beautiful, timeless, relaxed photographs of your day. My style is fine art photography, capturing your day using a mixture of reportage and beautiful portraiture.”

As part of our Freshman Wedding Business Program, I am delighted to welcome Cakes in France, The Hen Planner and Bridal Eyewear.If you are planning a hen do then The Hen Planner is your essential guide to planning full of inspiration and creative ideas. Set up by Glynis, Cakes in France provide a unique cake decorating service operating from Septfonds, Tarn et Garonne in the South West France.

As a spectacle wearing blogger, Bridal Eyewear is a wonderful concept. Spectacle expert Karen Louise has an exclusive, hand picked range of frames designed for wedding days, race days, and every other special occasion.

Next up I am delighted to introduce Annelie Johansson Photography from Sweden.  Of her photographic style Annelie says: “I love contrast, shadows, tilted frames, dynamic backgrounds and my style is always changing, always evolving with each client. I won’t slap you into a photo that doesn’t suit your personality – I aim to create a unique style on every shoot that matches each clients individuality.”

But on with The Sunday R&R, on Monday we stepped away from our regular wedding posts and took a pictorial tour around Provence.

We started Tuesday back on our usual schedule and looking at some Pretty Peach wedding inspiration.

I love a free tool, especially one that provides useful advice for brides to be and took a quick spin around the new tool Your Perfect Big Day.
