| HIlary & Simon |
June 29, 2010 |

What can I say about Hilary and Simons wedding? It was one of those that had me emotional right from the start!! Spending time with Hilary and her family and friends in the morning was a real privilege and I was made to feel very at home by Mary & Dave in their house.
Simon and the boys were getting ready at Malmaison, and Bec went along to capture some shots of their final preparations.
After a ceremony at The Immaculate Heart of Mary Church in Monkseaton, we all headed up to a very blustery Alnwick castle for the reception.
I have attached below the slideshow of their day - enjoy!!

April 27, 2010 |

You can tell I had no work on at the weekend...I downloaded a couple of new apps for my phone - this is one of my favourites...it takes 8 shots one after the other to get an action montage.
Got some shots of Max playing football! |

| Coastal Retreats |
April 15, 2010 |

We first met the lovely Leaver family in 2008 when they were staying at a Coastal Retreats cottage up in Northumberland. At that time they were five.....now they are six, and so we did another shoot for them last week to include the new addition, George!!
We do lots of shoots for Coastal Retreats clients whilst they are on holiday. Its a perfect opportunity to get some family shots whilst you are all together, relaxed and having fun!
Check out the beautiful cottages on their website - Coastal Retreats |

| Amelia's Christening |
February 24, 2010 |

Recently my brother and sister in law asked me to document my youngest niece's Christening. So last weekend we packed up the dog (affectionately known as Aunty Bumpy to the girls!!) and headed for Derby to celebrate Amelia. Thanks for a great weekend Jeremy and Catherine, you'll be impressed to know the slab of cake you sent us home with made it the entire journey and we didn't stop once to stock up on sausage rolls. It was great to meet friends and family and I hope you enjoy these images. Grandparents........have your Kleenex handy!!!
Love Bec xxx
If you'd like information on family portrait sessions, please call on 0191 222 1309 or email me at bec@alisongroves.com. Maybe we could arrange to do a shoot next time I'm visiting Jeremy and Catherine!! |

| Chloe & Charlotte |
February 16, 2010 |

Whilst we were down in Battersea I caught up with Nadya and her little girl Chloe. I shot Nadya's wedding to Robin in 2008, when Chloe was just a baby. so it was lovely to catch up with them again! We included Chloe's little playmate Charlotte in the shoot, and let them run around Battersea Park - it was the best way to keep warm!!
Hope you like them girls!

| Tiny Lives Charity Dinner, Ellingham Hall |
February 15, 2010 |

Last weekend, the gorgeous Ellingham Hall in Northumberland played host to the Tiny Lives charity dinner. The night was a huge success and Jane Robson, who did a truly amazing job pulling the night together, tells us that an estimated £10,000 was raised for the charity. As some of you may know, we support Tiny Lives here at Alison Groves Photography and the valuable work they do supporting premature babies and their families, based at the RVI in Newcastle.
What an amazing setting |



| Oysters!! Say Ali, have you ever tried an oyster? No!! Well, tonights the perfect opportunity. Go on....... |


| The tentative approach....... |


| The nervous giggle........ |


| Mmmmm, not so bad afterall?!?!? |


| And she lives to tell the tale. |


| Well done!!!!! A round of applause if you please. |

| Ryan & Linzy |
February 12, 2010 |

| Ryan and Linzy got married between Christmas and New Years on a snowy winters day. Beamish Hall was the perfect reception venue and the day was an absolute joy to photograph, not least of all because Linzy, Ryan and their families had me laughing all day. Here are some shots they might like to choose for a thank you card!! |
