Kane says, “Being a wedding photographer is more than turning up with a camera. It’s noticing the little details you’ve gone to so much effort to create. It’s capturing the moments you’ll never forget but love to look at over and over again. It’s capturing those moments you missed. It’s anticipating guests’ embraces after too long apart. It’s noticing the way your loved one looks at you, as you see each other for the first time.” Now, it’s even easier to find out what Kandid Kane can bring to your wedding day as he’s recently launched a swish new website featuring all of his latest package options including Bronze, Silver and Gold levels.

Head over to www.kandidkane.co.uk Nearlywed ONE LIFE AT A TIME Sam Dickinson, a 25-year-old who has recently started working at Ashdown Park Hotel & Country Club in the kitchen, has a story to tell. He’d been living at Crawley Open House Hostel for the last three months after running out of accommodation options. An initiative set up by the hostel to help residents into work gave Sam the opportunity to participate in a cooking workshop at the Parsons Pig Pub in Crawley, where he impressed so much that he came to the attention of the team at Ashdown Park. Executive chef, Tony Sanders, agreed to give Sam a trial and was immediately impressed, and soon after offered him a live-in commis chef job working alongside him. Sam has been working at the Hotel for four months now and absolutely loves it. Tina Bricknell, sales and marketing manager at Ashdown Park Hotel & Country Club says, “Sam has seamlessly integrated into the team here. We’re overjoyed by his progress and sincerely wish him the utmost success in his future endeavours. This is how you help to make a dent in homelessness, one life at a time.” Find out more about the venue at www.ashdownpark.com RAISE YOUR GLASS When Lucy Prout-Laing from Uniquely You Ceremonies started life as a celebrant she was surprised by how many people told her they hated speaking in public, and that although they loved the wedding, they were filled with dread when it came to making the speech. “As someone who, once upon a time, would melt into a bucket of nerves at the mere idea of standing up and speaking in front of people I was in a good position to help,” she says. Lucy has recently added the offer of speech writing and coaching to Uniquely You Ceremonies, which also covers ceremonies and inclusive wedding planning. During a free consultation, Lucy will talk through the sticking points of speech writing and what happens when you speak in public. “Keeping services personal and individually focused remains at the heart of every aspect of my business,” she continues. Speech coaching sessions cover everything from writing the speech to the technical side of speech delivery and, importantly, how to deal with those pesky public speaking nerves.
