next month. They arrived to us earlier this evening for their pre wedding shoot which we re located to our studio earlier in the day (instead of Hengistbury Head) and we have had such a brilliant evening with them - thanks Richard and Sarah - we look forward to your wedding day for more of the same!!! Look out for their images on our web site in the next week. We will put a taster up here as soon as we have had a chance to download and review them ourselves!!!
stunning the whole day through and together you made the sun shine all around your world! The Chewton Glen was the venue for Jules and Chris's wedding, the registrars were warm and welcoming making the ceremony wonderfully personal for the bride and groom and the emotion between them was tangible. We waited after the ceremony hoping for an improvement in the weather so we could use the beautiful grounds of Chewton Glen for some photographs but it was not to be, so we managed to do just about all our work inside which has worked very successfully and given all the memories that the wedding party could wish for. The garden Jengo game was the source of much anticipation for many of the guests with a huge cheer when the tower finally tumbled. We were priviledged enough to join Jules and Chris for their final practice of their first dance and this was a lovely moment of the day between them both which we were able to photograph. What made this day so fantastic was the happiness and togetherness between the two of you alongside the obvious 
delight of everyone at your wedding that the whole occassion was taking place. I want to make a special mention to the fantastic Dee - a complete New Yorker star!!!! Jules and Chris have fun and many congratulations to you both on your wedding day and marriage. 
day which was wonderful and also ran like clockwork from beginning to end! Katie radiated with excitement from the moment I met with her in the morning at their home with her lovely bridesmaids and family around her. We left home for St Mary's Church in Lychett Matravers with the skies looking threatening but the sun won through making the most lovely atmosphere as Katie and her Father walked up the pathway to the church for the ceremony. We even managed to do most of the formal photographs at the church once the ceremony was over which was very unexpected. 
Once these were done we all departed to the Marine Camp in Poole where everyone was looked after like royalty! Simon who is the main man there is a complete whizz at looking after detail and making sure everyone is welcome and comfortable. Following the wedding breakfast which was held in the magnificent Officers Mess we all made our way outside again into the early evening sunshine where we were able to complete the outstanding larger group pictures before going away with Katie and Rob further into the grounds for some photography of the bride and groom alone together. This proved a great success, Katie was beautifully relaxed with Rob enjoying every moment of it - giving us some great opportunties for fantastic images. Thank you both and your families for such a wonderful day and making us so very welcome at all times. Earle and I wish you both every happiness for your future life together and very many congratulations.
Siobhan and Paul chose to marry at the beautiful Highcliffe Castle last Friday, and the weather was incredibly and unpredictably kind to us all, adding to the fantastic atmosphere of the occasion. Siobhan arrived at the castle in brilliant mid afternoon sunshine in plenty of time for their ceremony allowing the opportunity for some beautiful photographs to be taken before she went into meet Paul who was waiting patiently for her arrival. The ceremony was lovely with loads of quite exceptional moments between the bride and groom, this was followed by a relaxed drinks reception out on the lawns of the castle, before the wedding party departed for the Marsham Court Hotel for the wedding breakfast and party. Before the bride and groom finally left Highcliffe Castle we took them off for some creative images around the grounds and down onto Avon beach just below the castle. Paul and Siobhan were brilliant and were more than happy to go along with our suggestions which included laying in the sand at the waters edge together, where we were able to capture some wonderfully relaxed pictures of them both together - a very special moment in the day for us all. Back at the Marsham Court we were able much later in the evening (once the sun had gone down) to take the bride and groom into town for some very stylised images in some of our favourite locations. They were thrilled to pieces despite Siobhan's anxiety over being photographed in such a public place!!! Siobhan you were an absoloute hero, and you looked beautiful, we hope you are completely thrilled with the results. One of your mum's commented on how 'in love' you both are and it shows in your pictures all day long - congratulations!
nt months we have been doing a series of model shoots with Coleese Hair and Beauty Studio of Poole and last week we were working with them again and Becky was the model who did a stirling job and
obyn Vallender who came along to our studio to prepare Sumiyo for the camera! We created several backdrops for Sumiyo and different lighting scenarios to illustrate different aspects of her character and look, it was brilliant to see her relaxing and evolving as her confidence grew. After a really successful studio shoot we were able to sit with Sumiyo and review her images so she could choose which she wanted for James' birthday present. We think she looks absoloutly stunning in the images she chose and we hear James is thrilled with his gift! The whole shoot will be on our portraits site within the next couple of days.
arquee overlooking glorious farmland. Juliet looked the ultimate in natural elegance and beauty with a brilliant and inspired 60's twist. Her groom was the complete gentleman who accompanied by his very polished bestmen and ushers shone with pride as he saw her walk up the aisle towards him. Everyone was mindful of the weather which was hugely changeable but this in fact added to the quality we were able to add to our photography, the light was amazing 
with the skies full of billowing and stormy clouds interspersed with brilliant blue. We managed to complete all the formal pictures outside the church just before the rain began enabling Juliet and Nick to run through their confetti shower to the infamous vintage Bentley car whose history is well documented by the family from the day it was delivered to Argentina for the President many years ago. Once we were back at the farm Juliet and Nick had some relaxing drinks with their guests before we borrowed them for a brief period to take some creative images of them using all that fantastic light surrounding us at that time. Both bride and groom were drawn to our photography because of our unobtrusive style and use of light but were happy to indulge us a little with this period of time to capture some remarkable images of them both in surroundings they both are very familiar and relaxed with, so thank you both very much and we hope you and your family and friends are as delighted with the images as we are. We also thank you both and your parents for extending such wonderful hospitality to us throughout a truly wonderful day. Earle and I would like to extend our warmest congratulations and best wishes to you both.
Dorset on the weekend of the Wimborne Folk Festival, an event they attended every year together. They set the time for their wedding at late afternoon and the atmosphere around the church for the arrival of their guests and the wedding party could not have been better. The long drive way and avenue of trees presented the perfect backdrop to the church as the Pink Cadillac and Blue Buick meandered up carrying the Bride, her Father and the Bridesmaids with Jane, Emma's Mother who looked very elegant in her thoughtfully created outfit. The whole day was great, with loads of humour, banter and happiness. After the ceremony and wedding breakfast we walked with Nathan and Emma away from the Clubhouse where their wedding reception was held towards the golf course and had some quieter time relaxing and taking pictures of them in a very tranquil setting before setting off to the thrills and spills of the Wimborne Folk Festival where the Bride and Groom amazed themselves at how we can all be carried along on the crest of a wave! As we all walked through the Square a ripple of applause grew from just a few to around 
500 people on the Minster lawn and surrounding area! The band was playing and promptly changed their tune to 'Congratulations' with the crowd singing along - all for Emma and Nathan, who with a little encouragement agreed to dance along as a thank you to all their wellwishers! It will be amazing if this special moment is ever forgotten - it really was fantastic to experience such warmth from such a huge crowd of complete strangers. We really hope Emma and Nathan you carry the happiest of memories from this wonderful day and will enjoy sharing them with your family and friends. Of course the pictures you will carry will tell the parts of the story only you two and us know! (Well along with the Folk Festival bods).
