Dave's Croyde Stag do

Stag do’s.   There are usually some strict rules…  no girls, no photos, and definitely no posting of photographs.     So when one of my best mates asked me along on his stag do that was when the rules began to get broken.    This was quite likely to be one of the most photographed stag do’s in history … 

I met Dave when I lived in Oz, along with a group of other awesome individuals (they know who they are!)…  and for the last 14 years Dave and I have been meeting up to surf then make light work of a bottle of Jim Beam.    He had always said that he wanted his stag do to be a surf weekend, so I was chuffed when I got invited.   I wasn’t the only girl.    You know when you meet someone and you wished you’d met them properly YEARS ago… well Shirley is one of those girls…

I LOVED photographing this weekend - just like I LOVE photographing any other important event in people’s lives.   I reckon you can probably get an idea of how much we laughed…  

In possibly an even more unprecedented move than someone allowing me to publish photos of their stag weekend, I actually relinquished the strap on one of my beloved D750s to someone else (I blame the sambuca), so in an unusual move you might find a pic of me in here…  

It is ironic that I can’t actually make Dave and Lynsey’s wedding because I am photographing another wedding! …  but luckily I am still going to be able to make it there for a couple of JB’s towards the end of their special day  : )     

So here it is... this is the little story of Dave's stag do ... the edited version...         : )
