My awesome hen do photo challenge!

Now that its internet official that we're married (!!), I can share the photos I took at my hen do with my film cameras here as well. Hurray!

I can quite happily say that my hen was one of the tamest hen parties ever - it was a weekend at the beach where 3 of the guests were babies, another was my Nanna and of course Harry the dog came too... and it was AMAZING. First I love the beach - so it was a perfect location and I love all the women in my life so much that it was just wonderful to have everyone together in one place. I got so many hugs haha!

For the day on Saturday my little sister put together a photo challenge around Filey that I kept thinking Che would have been so proud of! And with film disposable cameras too. Oh my gosh, it was so much fun!  I love how she wrote "Think like Rhianne" and included feet photos and of course a 'look up' photo on the list too. 

So here are some of my photos - I've included the prompt for each photo below too. So much fun :)

"You don't need to listen to stand to listen to music here" (can you spot Harry?)

"You don't need to listen to stand to listen to music here" (can you spot Harry?)

"Now that's what I call a sandcastle!"

"Now that's what I call a sandcastle!"

"It's not the beach without an ice cream"

"It's not the beach without an ice cream"

"Go on, get your feet wet"

"Go on, get your feet wet"

"This sweet seaside treat will always let you know where you are."

"Sandy Toes"

"Sandy Toes"

and finally... "Look Up Filey"

and finally... "Look Up Filey"

Confession - I'd already taken the look up photo of the bunting before I knew about the challenge... I'm so predictable it seems ha and my sister knows me well. Great job sister :) yeay!!

Surprise!

So... I've been keeping a secret from the internet - partly because it wasn't just my secret to keep - but mostly because I wanted to surprise someone with it! If I'd had my way, the whole thing would have been a surprise - but it turns out - weddings need some pretty serious planning and other people need to know about it before hand...

(this did say today's date as well as Hart haha - oh well)

Yup, I said wedding :)

Thomas and I are getting married - today - and I'm so excited!!

I've shared some sneak peak details on Instagram whilst we've been getting the venue ready and of course, taking film photos to share in the future - and we have a hashtag #thomasandrhianne which should hopefully fill with photos as the day goes along (though we're in Norfolk, the phone signal is questionable... but  pictures should emerge at some point we hope).

We also have the most amazing photographer for the day - Katherine Mager - and she's going to take some film photos for us (of course ha) as well as digital and I can't wait for those already! 

Wahhhh, I'm so excited, wish us luck and see you on the other side!! I'll be a MRS!

p.s. I've scheduled posts for the next few weeks :) but I'll be back in October!

Cow and Calf Rocks Part I

I didn't know much about the Cow and Calf Rocks in Ilkley other than that it was a beautiful location with stunning views - so I had a quick look on the internet which knows all and this is what I found on Wikipedia:

"According to legend, the Calf was split from the Cow when the giant Rombald was fleeing an enemy, and stamped on the rock as he leapt across the valley. The enemy, it is said, was his angry wife." 

Perfect!
