Chiang Mai/Rai, Thailand

After spending several days in Chiang Mai last year, in the north of Thailand, I was very keen to go back and show Poppy why I loved the place and why the festival of Loi Krathong Or lantern festival is such and awe to be apart of. Unfortunately the big event of Lantern releasing at the university of Mae Jo that I witnessed last year had already come and gone, so this time we stayed around the town and river areas of the city more and wondered in and out of temples as various activities associated with the festival unveiled around us.

Whilst in the North, a couple days ago we went on an Eco tourism trip to see, feed, play with, wash and even ride (bare back) Thai Elephants. With poppy being such an animal lover I knew she would be well keen … But even I was amazed by the creatures which having only seen from afar in a zoo before, this was something else all together and must be one of the most memorable things I have done all year ! Neither of us, poppy particularly, are in agreement with captivity of animals of any kind but from what we witnessed and were assured on the most part was being done in a manor which provided stability for the animals, their surroundings and the people / local communities caring for them.

What’s more; we also managed to squeeze in half a day around the city of Chiang Rai before flying south to Bangkok from where we will be catching an overnight bus to Khao Lak. Back to the coast and hopefully some good snorkelling and diving time after 4 city’s back to back.

Unfortunately still haven’t managed to experience the town of Pie up north – one day. :)

So on the flight southbound now … Next stop Khao Lak …

United Kingdom Fearless Wedding Photographer

I recently joined an directory that represents a group of wedding photographers from across the globe that strive for photography that is ‘Fearless’ in its nature, the group is well named ‘Fearless Photographers’. Originating in the states and now worldwide, the group contains just over 2000 members from across the world, including myself and just over a 100 other members in the UK.

What does Fearless mean? Well my definition it clearly means a lack of fear, but more precisely it means that fearless photographers represent experimentation, innovation, artistic flare and ultimately a lack of fear to try something new in their wedding photography. or as Fearless saids; ‘FEARLESS PHOTOGRAPHERS is a unique photography directory of the world’s best wedding photographers who are not afraid to push the limits of professional wedding photography to surprise you with extraordinary wedding photos of your wedding day.’ – fearlessphotographers.com

‘If you’re planning a wedding and you care deeply about photography, you’ve found the right place. We want to help you find the photographer who will tell the story of your wedding day. We share your passion, enthusiasm, and obsession for photography. Our photographers are inspired to push the envelope of what is possible every single day. They are creative, talented, and among the best in the world.’ – fearlessphotographers.com

Unlike many photography organisation, fearless is a community of photographers that you cannot simply pay to be a member of and get benefits for it, in fact, apart from exposure on their website their are no benefits other than the fact that you have been accepted in to the group. Anyone who applies is checked and approved by the Fearless team, so you know any Fearless Photographer should be of a good standard – thus all you have to look for then is the style you like.
