The show was�awesome, with the GB olympic team cycling round to tour de France and the last half of the show being in glorious 3D. Happily The Observer have published one of my pics today :D

I’m so glad the weather held out, with saturday being blindingly hot and sunny all day. I was terrified of it being a typical muddy mess.

I know its probably been said before, but Glastonbury is immensly huge. Sure you can probably cover most stuff on the mian stages, and save yourself a lot of bother with walking, but there is so much more to it, and every different section feels like a mini festival in itself.

Highlights from Glastonbury 2009:

Recently I got thinking, isn’t a wedding just basically the biggest and most important party of your life? I like shooting parties, and I love capturing emotion and people having a great time. So last April, with this in mind, I jumped in at the deep end and I shot my first wedding for the lovely Matt and Martina.

The day could not have gone better, the sun shone throughout, I had fun all day long, and as the sun set over Liverpool I realised that weddings are super :D

So the answer is from now on  “yes, I would love to shoot your wedding”

They hide out under the seats if they hear people coming, so you have to sneak up on them.
