Pictures for friends

We work with a lot of wedding suppliers, some on several occasions. Over the last few years we’ve worked with Aqua Hair and Beauty a lot. Gareth asked me ages ago if I could find some of images from more recent weddings that they have worked on.

This has been a very busy year, we’ve photographed more weddings this year than we have in any of the last ten years, and so it took a while. Anyway, I finally sorted some out and I will drop them in to the salon during the week.

In the meantime I thought you would like a little slideshow. Click here.

New site, nearly there...

We have been working a bit more on our new site and I think we are nearly there. We've added galleries and changed the copy. There are even new profile pictures...handsome devils, they are... It would be great if you would go and have a look and maybe leave some feedback.

Here it is...

They're here...

Andy and Michelle here is a special blog post just for you.

Waiting at our studio are 3 bragbooks, a folio box of prints and a gorgeous Medium Styla album with your wedding story. As well as all that there will be a jug of very strong , hot fresh coffee and a plate of those triple chocolate biscuits you love so much.

Just to prove the point we made this picture in the style of a 1960's pack shot.

Give us a ring 015394 454 83 and we'll make a date.

Up and down the M6

We are recovering today. On Thursday of last week we went up the road to Linthwaite House Hotel for Mart and Suz's wedding. Then after a couple of meetings on Friday morning we set off to London and then Surrey to photograph Sian and Phil's wedding on Saturday. We finished working at their wedding at around 9pm and set off back up the road to Knutsford where we spent the night before driving the final leg up the M6 to Bassenthwaite for Lisa and Gary's wedding yesterday.

The first one should be on here tomorrow.

Josh is not a fan of being the centre of attention

Sometimes an image looks better when the subject is not looking into the camera. Here's a tip for photographers, don't just tell the subject to look away, find something, or somebody and ask your subject to look at them. So, Josh is directing reflected light back at Kirsty and Steve says "look at Josh". He gets so embarrassed, where should he look? Steve knows he hates it but it does help the image along. This time Jim's Uncle Chris was on hand to capture the full impact of the moment. Thanks for the pic Chris.

New web site

We are working on a new site. It's in very early development but we would love some feedback, especially from past present and future customers. Tell us what you think compared to our old site. Click here to have a look. Tell us what you think in the comments section.

Don’t lose the plot…

A couple of months ago Steven got an E-mail from “Photography Monthly” Magazine. They wanted to run a feature on how to tell a story of a wedding day in pictures, so who else could they ask? He did it and, as we were working on James and Bridget’s pictures at the time, we used mostly their images to illustrate the article. Three copies arrived in the post while we were away so I guess it’s in the shops now. We got some good coverage, over 6 pages, even a picture of Steven himself printed in two places in case you weren’t sure what you saw the first time. The magazine is only £3.99 so go get one now.

By the way, did I just say "while we were away?" We’ve just shot a wedding in Tuscany. We flew out for Svetlana and Martin’s wedding on Tuesday and got back on Thursday night. We are processing the pictures as I write this. Wow, what amazing light. The wedding was fabulous and the pictures are fantastic. We are working with Rob and Sarah tomorrow in North Yorkshire so we won’t get the slide shows from Italy on here until after the weekend, yes I did say slide shows. We did a sort of post pre wedding shoot in Siena the evening before the wedding. That will be one slide show and the wedding will be another. Post pre wedding because we already did a pre wedding shoot in London with Svetlana and Martin last year. Remember?
