Coleese Hair and Beauty

It's official Christmas is on its way!! I know this because and only because we have done the shoot today for Coleese Hair and Beauty and their Christmas advertising! This has actually done the trick for getting me to think about this festive time of year in a celebratory way in November..... an unheard of phenonemum.... I may even go buy a present or something!!!! Oh yes, the images: Jody was great, Stevie had created a big luxurious style for Christmas and Jodie carried it perfectly. The turnaround on these needs to be speedy so must now get on with the editing!

Lisa and Jos Wedding

Lisa and Jos had a lovely November wedding day, Earle and I met up with each of them as arranged before the ceremony was due to take place. Lisa was just returning from the hairdressers as I arrived at her home and met with her lovely mum, Sandra who was waiting to welcome her. Lisa and her two bridesmaids, were straight into the next stage of the preparations with make up artist Helen Spenser from Made Up who looked after all the girls brilliantly leaving them all completed with plenty of time to get into their gowns and off to church looking totally stunning.

Jos and the other boys were all at Strouden Park Chapel greeting the guests, Jos's father was actually the Pastor for the ceremony giving an extra personalised touch to this wonderful occassion. We have in fact photographed several weddings now at this Chapel and this wedding was like meeting groups of old friends again, very special for us indeed to see the couples and their growing families! Lisa and Jos beamed with joy throughout the ceremony and we had the 'formal' group shots completed promptly in the grounds of the Chapel straight afterwards freeing up the guests to make their way to the Orchid Hotel, Bournemouth for the reception while we raced onto the beach for some beautiful shots of the bride and groom as the sun was setting, my word are we pleased with those ones!!! Jos and Lisa were wonderful and completely natural together, their happiness shone through the sinking light.

The whole day was racing by and we returned to the hotel just in time for the wedding breakfast, speeches and the party was to continue late into the night.

Congratulations Lisa and Jos on your marriage, your wedding day was a marvellous success a really special day for you both and a huge thank you from Earle and me for making us so welcome.

Scissors Hair Salons

We recently completed a shoot with Scissors Hair Salons. The day was very intense and busy with an army of models, stylists, artistic directors and our brilliant makeup artist work mate Robyn Vallender working closely with the Scissors team and us!

After a full days work everyone finished feeling very happy with the results, Scissors adverts will be featuring our images throughout 2008.

Wedding Divas - Jenny and Mark

Hi all, well have we had a terrific time photographing with Jenny and Mark. We knew back in the early summer we were all going to do a post wedding shoot, Jenny and Mark were keen to have some images down on the beach and living up in Cheltenham we thought the best plan was to enjoy a weekend together and incorporate the Wedding Diva shoot when the weather looked most promising. Who would have thought that November would have served up such a brilliant day and to say Jenny and Mark were fantastic is really an understatement but we are posting a taster of the images we were able to capture with them and I guess those will do the rest of the talking.......











Thank you Jenny and Mark for a truly fun time, that comes from 'Ben' also the visiting dog that took a particular liking to you Jenny!!!
