You may have noticed it’s been rather slow on here of late… well now to tell you why! I’ve been working on my new look - I’m now calling myself Rosie Parsons Photography instead of Forever After Images and I have a whole new website and look to show you!
All existing clients won’t notice any change except you’ll have a new funky brochure heading your way in the next couple of weeks, and my email address is now rosie@rosieparsons.com (but I will still be checking my other accounts!).
So just to warn you, this blog will no longer be updated as from today - so head on over to www.rosieparsons.com and www.rosieparsons.com/blog to join in all the action!

The Beetle & Wedge near Goring was the location for Adam and Carla’s lovely waterside wedding on Saturday. The whole day including the ceremony was held at the venue, right on the river Thames.
To be able to have the outdoors ceremony Carla and Adam had to officially get wed at the register office earlier in the morning, but that meant that they could then have the unofficial wedding wherever they liked. Plus I was allowed to shoot throughout the ceremony and the registrars were really nice and relaxed which made it extra nice for me!
Carla’s theme for the day was sunflowers and they really brightened the place everywhere the guests went, very cheerful! It was also being great right next to the river seeing all the boats go past with people waving, and the gorgeous swans with their baby signets who came to say hello!
I must also mention Carla’s amazing Mum Ana (who runs Silva Cakes) - she not only made the wedding cake, but also Carla’s stunning wedding dress! I could not believe my ears when Carla told me! What a talented mum!

Ahhh, we’ve just got back from a lovely two weeks in Tuscany.
It was so great to get away for a little bit, and we first dropped in on our fave place in the world - Barga near Lucca. We stayed at the same place as last year - with Ron and Susi Gauld at Casa Fontana. They always get 5 star ratings on Trip Advisor and there’s a good reason why - their attention to detail, their caring attitude and the amazing location are all spectacular. We love it there!

My cousin Joy was ordained into the Church of England on Saturday at St Paul’s Cathedral, London. It was really nice to be back at the Cathedral (I photographed James and Steph’s wedding there last year) and especially great to be celebrating this very special day with my Mum’s side of the family. We also bumped into quite a few friends from when we lived in Oxford as well which was fun!

I’d never been to Edinburgh before, so it was rather exciting to head North… and North…. and then North some more (!) to Scotland for Neal and Miho’s fab wedding at Edinburgh’s stunning wedding venue The Hub, right in the old centre of the city by the castle.

I am really looking forward to shooting David and Shan’s wedding later this year. For their engagement portraits we headed to Shan’s University - Royal Holloway in Surrey. I’d seen the outside before as my friend Simon also went there, but I’d never had the time to look around properly. The buildings are really impressive, and we got some really fun shots in the library (shhh!). We also headed around a few other rooms and into the chapel which had intense rich colours and ornate detail - beautiful!

Just a quick blog post to say how sad and shocked I am to hear that Michael Jackson has died today. I really can’t believe it - I mean I know we all die one day, but when I was growing up I was such a big fan of his. It seems very strange to be in a world without him!

Hey all,

Feel free to still drop me an email though (rosie@foreverafterimages.com) and...

My latest wedding was a stunning Saturday afternoon at Le Manoir Aux Quat Saisons near Oxford. What a venue! Owned by Raymond Blanc, this has to be one of my most favourite places to shoot ever. The gardens are absolutely stunning and they change so much with the seasons. The last time I photographed here I was doing a model shoot in October. The gardens were full of fiery reds and oranges and there were pumpkins dotted around the gardens. Now it’s summer, and the beautiful purple lavender is out in full bloom (I wish it was so successful in my own garden!).
Ruth looked absolutely amazing in her beautiful grecian style dress and I loved the peonies that made her colourful bouquet. She also had decorated the church with fabulous flowers - such a great colour scheme!

After a week of blissful sunshine I couldn’t believe the downpour that started the day off for Susie and Dan’s Hungerford wedding at the beautiful Littlecote House Hotel!
I had a backup plan in mind, but fortunately the rain eased off just as I arrived at the Bear Hotel in Hungerford to shoot Susie’s getting ready photos. I love shooting at the Bear Hotel, especially in the bridal suite because of the fab black and white flock wallpaper and bright pink bed - just gorgeous!
