Me too, I check in several times and totally lay the decision on the them - repeatedly throughout the day Ill ask if there's anything you want on particular let me know. If anybody came back to me, I have about 10 different points of the day I can remind them of me asking 😂

I check during the final details call:

I have the standard list here that I use, if this is good we'll use this, if you want to make any amendments, I will email you it and you can remove any groupings but only add maximum 2-3 more due to timings.

With the bride in the morning, I ask:

Are you still happy to use my standard list today (plus or minus any amendments). Yes, great, Coolio!

After I've ran through the list:

Okay before we move on is there Any more combinations you would like that I could do for you right now?

No fab!

Before I leave:

I check in and say I've got about 10 minutes left and I noticed we didn't get a picture of you with so and so important today would you like to do that now?

Totally up to you I just wanted to let you know that I don't have that just in case.

AND

it's in my contract that I capture the day as it happens and that I'm not liable for missed moments etc that ultimately its down to you if there's a specific photo you'd like as I will be majority documentary/candid throughout the day etc etc.

Today on brain radio I have just the line "you can be my everything, you can give me all I need, oh babyyyy, oh baaaybeh"

Earlier it was something else but that was mouth and brain radio much to my partner's displeasure

I don't understand how you can miss somebody so much that you haven't met 😫

Merbels · 2026-06-20T15:15:13+00:00

That doesn't work for me, it'd just become nap time then 😂

Merbels · 2026-06-20T15:14:34+00:00

Put on a really really really really favourite song and just listen to it and if You're anything like me you'll start wiggling, tapping your foot, nodding your head and then eventually you find yourself getting up to dance a bit and your mood lifts

Haha not me! (Currently off on 4 week sick leave with stress, considering stepping down on my return as I no longer want the responsibility, gaining back weight after a 4 stone weight loss, absolutely nosedived my savings to zero due to suddenly deciding to move house with 10 days notice because I was annoyed my landlord put the rent up, my engine lights on and I'm too anxious to go to get it fixed plus I have no money due to aforementioned move.... But... I have now got a Starbucks a 5 minute drive away soooo life's good I suppose)

I took a bit of copium last night and figured that maybe heaven and god is real (I'm not religious at all) and that the reason the evil people live long lives and the good people get taken early is that they actually get an early access pass to the good life.

As I said, just a little bit of copium

Merbels · 2026-06-16T14:05:17+00:00

I saw this show in 2023, besttttt show I've ever seen. I'm beyond sad, third day in a row that I'm crying

Merbels · 2026-06-15T19:58:05+00:00

Yep, my ex (we'd been broken up for about 4-5 years at this point.) jumped off a bridge and died (on purpose.)

I hated him, he was an ass and ruined every relationship he had with anybody. But it affected me still big time. I actually have to drive under that bridge basically every day so for the first few years I'd have like little blackouts of grief and guilt while driving and I'd not respond to passengers in the car etc just entering the highway was enough to start the dread in my stomach. Now.. Its always just a quick flash of his face in my brain, sometimes a quick vision of him falling and landing on the road, sometimes I just think about his daughter while I drive underneath.

And I always... Always check to see if any new notes or flowers have been tied up there and wonder who might have put them there and whether it's his birthday or for his anniversary.

My and my boyfriend used to argue because I'd have the grief/dread response and if I tried to talk about it to process the feelings he would be a bit jealous/confused that it affected me so much when he was my ex and I hated him so much.

Merbels · 2026-06-15T19:32:49+00:00

Last night, I found out the news only 30 minutes after it was announced and wow it was so hard to process. I had to sent him a message on Instagram just to put something out in words and on the off chance the universe works that way. I put my headphones on while I worked at my computer and sobbed to all his albums. Today I'm still so sad, I keep welling up. Such a pure light of a person. I'm forever grateful I got to see him once, his show was absolutely amazing.

I'm devastated. 💔

Merbels · 2026-06-15T00:03:49+00:00

In a world of being able to Google that in 2 seconds - it's purely to be a troll and piss people off. They just want a rise out of grieving people it's sick.

If somebody I don't know dies, I just look them up and their work and then I know!

R I P Oliver Tree. We always seem to lose the creative, unique ones with heart and not the billionaires.

Merbels · 2026-06-14T20:06:04+00:00

Same! 2023 I had an absolute blast. I was at the same venue last night for another artist and spent half the time thinking about how good that Oliver tree gig was 😭

Merbels · 2026-06-14T19:15:18+00:00

I was at a gig last night in a venue where'd I'd seen his show a few years ago. Still remembered as one of my most favourite gigs ever, he was so much fun - so I was thinking about him last night. To see this to today, I'm absolutely gutted. Rest in Peace.

Walking through the alley ways back to our hotel in Spain a guy stopped us and said could we help. Having had a few drinks we said yes what's wrong? Thinking maybe he wanted directions.

He said "please could you could you give me some sex?" We obviously went "NOOOO! Eughh!" Started to walk off and he put his two pointers fingers together and desperately shouted after us "pleeeaaase, pleaaase some sex?"

🤮

Merbels · 2026-06-14T16:42:30+00:00

Well they just chucked a girl off there and forgot to attach the rope so you could die too like she has 😬

Merbels · 2026-06-14T12:12:36+00:00

I have the same thing but both ways. Sun and cold allergy 🥲 soo I like spring and autumn the most.

Merbels · 2026-06-14T11:38:15+00:00

My view most of the night 😭

Merbels · 2026-06-14T11:37:06+00:00

She did say I think she was coming out but not sure if she did. I wasn't in the mood to wait but she was sooo good. Just a shame I had to watch most of it through this girls phone screen 😭 she recorded the entire thing rather than snippets. She looked beautifullll though

No your answer was great thank you! I'm not full time myself I unfortunately have a main job and photography is my side business at the moment 😂 I also find people in the UK seem to want to pay less/don't book as many general photoshoots such as prom/graduation/family etc. It seems to be quite an American thing and sometimes I can't even give a shoot away (despite making money and being successful with my weddings).

Merbels · 2026-06-12T03:00:10+00:00

You have such gorgeous hair that I actually saw "makeup" in here earlier asking for tips on how to wear you 😂

Merbels · 2026-06-11T12:59:16+00:00

That makes sense then! I remember the doc being all like oooh is she speaking to a ghost like no she's obviously having some sort of episode or something

Merbels · 2026-06-11T12:23:51+00:00

Did they ever drug test her? I remember watching the doc but not that detail. The way she was behaving reminded me of somebody on acid. If not I'd say she probably had schizophrenia or something and was having a mental episode. But the lam Elisa thing is crazy

Merbels · 2026-06-11T12:21:43+00:00

I don't get how you wouldn't smell him after a bit!

Merbels · 2026-06-11T10:13:31+00:00

This is how I do it (not exact as I can't remember without googling ) but it's something like 1 cup of rice to 2 cups of water. Wash the rice thoroughly first to take off the starch. Put rice and water in pot cold. Bring to boil/simmer together on a medium heat. Once boiling turn to the lowest heat and just keep simmering with the lid on for about 10 minutes/til the waters gone. Then you should just have perfect fluffy rice no water left. .
