Jari Vipele Photography: Recap of the year 2014

It was very exciting year and looking back brings lot of good memories to mind.

Lots of fun, travelling, family and friends, weddings and London actually had amazing weather this summer so that makes a difference.

After the new year, it’s always nice to get away somewhere so we had a nice long weekend planned in amsterdam with some friends and also visiting friends there. Always loved Holland but this time managed to spend bit more time in Amsterdam and see the city bit more. Lots of Canals, bikes and narrow houses. Love it!

In April we went Harrogate and surrounding villages. It's always nice to get away from busy London, we rented a nice apartment and had a nice few days exploring the area.

Highlight of the year was trip to Borneo and Thailand. Kind of our second honeymoon.

But also we had friends wedding in Thailand which was so amazing and perfect way to combine to our holiday. Borneo was amazing, not very touristy at all. We did hike up to mount Kinabalu, but couldn’t do the summit trek. Which was probably fine as we started to have bit of altitude sickness at the point where we turned back down. Went to Sepilok orang-utan rehabilitation centre where we saw some very cute orang-utans.

After a week in Borneo, we still had a 6 days in Thailand, Koh Samui.

Can’t go wrong with Thailand, beaches are amazing, great food and so relaxing.

For a week in july we went to Finland. Great to catch up with family and friends. Also had a wedding shoot there for a friend getting married. That was great experience and good fun. Will post more about the weddings on my next entry.

For my birthday my wife took me up to the Shard. Great view of London with a glass of bubbles, what a great present.

With a group of friends we hired a cottage in north Wales in october. Again we were so lucky with the weather as it can be bit bleak up there in october. Really lovely hike in a sun up to snowdonia. Amazing landscape, it’s such a beautiful part of UK. Great weekend all together.

Last thing in november was a mini getaway to Brighton, it was lovely to get to the seaside.

Amazing year and looking forward to see what the next one will bring along.
