Crawfish Boil

Crawfish are a Louisiana delicacy, a small lobster type creature that live in the mud (nick named mud bugs). Boiled up with various Kajun spices and fruits they make excellent eating.

Randys cousin Keith has a big party at his house on Good Friday every year. This year I was lucky enough to be in the area at the right time and was invited to experience the fun. Click on the picture or here to see the slideshow of pictures from the party.

There's a trick to eating them, twist the head pinch the tail then suck out the meat ...... it must be a Lousiana thing because it took me 3 attempts to get one, guess i'll just have to keep practising.

Wedding photographs in Amite, Louisiana, USA

Pin It Occasionally I get really lucky and this weekend was no exception. I was chosen to photograph Corie and Josh's fantastic wedding in Amite, Louisiana (near New Orleans).

Click on the photograph or here to view some of the pictures.

Because I had a shot a wedding on the previous Sunday it meant I hadn't managed to get a flight till the Wednesday. So there was little time for a pre wedding planning meeting or reconnaissance of the venue. To add to that
I was told that for the previous week it had pretty much rained every day, so it was looking likely that the English weather had come in front of me.

However on the day the sun came out and gave us a fantastic day to work with, i don't think I've ever worked with so much light, a truly fantastic event.
