The RDS Wedding Show

This time, we'll be there on the corner stand near the main entrance and exit - Stand F2 . Admittedly it is the same stand we've been at for the last few years, but it is the first under the new logo and brand www.couple.ie.

If you're planning to go, it is one of the biggest of its kind in Dublin with over 100 exhibitors ranging from Candle and Cake suppliers to Florists and Cars. It is an ideal spot to get all your wedding organised in one go and it is on this weekend - if you're there, be sure to call over and say hello!

What do you think of this cake?

Ok, it is not so big on the chocolate - most of the Wedding cakes featured here I recently noticed tend to covered in chocolate - not sure why! Well this is a bit more traditional. Well traditional in a different way....

This was a Christmas cake bought in the local Lidl shop on the way to the wedding and it became the centrepiece to Miriam's wedding last weekend. She had vowed not to have a wedding cake; but her guests ignored her, as they felt there would be a a gap in the wedding photos and so they brought this along so she could get her photos!

The M&Ms were added for colour because it was Miriam and Marks big day - so the M&M theme seemed appropriate; a big thanks goes to Sitha and Tom for getting it organised in secret.

All new website!

I've been working on a new website for about a year, and it is finally out of testing and ready for everyone to see!

couple.ie is the new name to accompany the website. There are LOADS of pictures on the new website... well worth a visit!

The old www.roslynstudio.com site will not disappear it is just showing it's age a bit and, to be honest, I've a lot more photos that I'd like to share!

Rather than overhaul the site I decided since we work in a team format - it would be best to acknowledge it so we went with a new name and fresh new logo.

Feeling Geeky?

I've been very busy for the last few weeks, since it was "wedding season" and so I've been going to weddings... and I'll be sharing some insights again now it has slowed down again!

The geeky bit is that I've also been doing up my new website and to be honest it was a much bigger task than I'd envisaged. However I can now confirm - officially - yes, I take a lot of pictures at weddings!

So I thought why not start again by showing you a chocolate wedding cake - not just one but three, dark, milk and white. Then I thought maybe someone wants to make their own geeky ones and were looking for inspiration - so here is the appliance of science.

And for the chocolate loving Dr Who fan in your life you could conjure up this one....

Finally, this summer I've also built a whole portrait studio in my garden which I like to call "The White House". It is completely state of the art (maybe a bit future proofed too) as it has a full ceiling mounted lighting rig, with 7 floating rails, a motor winding background unit and - oh yes! It has it's own vacuum cleaning robot.... watch the video it is nearly as good as seeing him in action!
