Amy and Joma are now married!

I'm going to keep this short and sweet: Amy and Joma are a top couple, the wedding was good fun and a pleasure to shoot.

My day with them started at Amy's moms where Amy and the girls were getting ready, a whole two blocks away from where I live! Then it was off to Stockland Green Methodist Church and finally off to grade II listed Highbury Hall in Moseley.

I won't go into the typical four seasons in one day thing, the fact that Joma got an Everton FC cake as a surprise, and that I'd like to thank Joma's dad for the dessert.. so I better stop rambling and show you my highlights:

Mr Eric Roberson keeps it friendly in Brum.. his "second favourite city"...

Mine too ;)

Seriously, that's what he said.. Birmingham is his second favourite city. See.. not just locals can see the charm we have!

Anyway.. this was his second time playing in Birmingham and after a packed night at the Jazz Cafe in London, the turnout was a little smaller than expected but it didn't stop Eric Roberson blitzing the crowd with soulful, humourous, good positive energy for a nice long set.

Unlike other artists that have come and gone this guy and his band took time to chat with the fans, have photos.. never a problem. They were chilled and the crowd later repaid him with dancing, singing, good vibes.

I wasn't that familiar with his music before this gig but yep.. this guy can sing and entertain.. ably backed by a good band. Check his site at this link www.ericrobersonmusic.com

He has written for and collaborated with the likes of Dwele, Slum Village, Jill Scott (amazing live show), and so on.. and now for your eyes.. here he is. Oh first up is the support act.. (name to be added in a moment when i get the link..)

Seriously... don't pass the singer on the stage your bag... Sorry but Eric's face says it all!Photobucket
I guess the main man singing into your camera phone whilst it's recording the show isn't so bad... Photobucket

Aleena +Richard make Monday weddings cool!

A wedding on a Monday - that's a rare treat for a Brit like me... Mondays are usually full of editing the weekends weddings.. blogging (ok, ok, not that often)... admin'ing... houseworkin'... (yes I do!) and study...ing.

So check how it turned out when good friends Aleena and Richard got married a couple weeks back at the Botanical Gardens in Birmingham:
