Pre Wedding shoot at Lainston House

Posted in Engagements by Jules

Last week amidst a brief snowfall we met with Robin and Emma at Lainston House for a few engagement photos prior to their wedding next month,  Apart from the snow and it being boggy underfoot, it was lovely  and we are both looking forward to the lovely wedding.

Being boggy underfoot did not stop Sue suggesting that I lay down for the “shooting through the flower shot” yeah she is all heart.   We do an engagement shoot with all our couples, its a great way to get to know them better and a fine excuse for a coffee as well.

Wedding at Highcliffe castle and Rhinefield house with Sebastian and Carrie

Posted in Weddings by Jules

On Saturday we joined Sebastian and Carrie for there wedding day, we started our cold but dry day at Rhinefield House for a few preparation photos with Carrie and the girls and later, Seb and the boys, Carrie was looked after by Michelle who as always did a great job.  After a few photos we all headed off to the ceremony which took place at the beautiful Highcliffe Castle where we were greeted by the Michelmersh silver band which sounded amazing.

After a truly romantic service where Sebastian and Carrie seemed to cry thorough out we headed off outside for a few photos before heading back to Rhinefield House for more photos and a second drinks reception. We took Seb and Carrie off for a few portraits and then headed in to the wedding breakfast which was followed by speeches and then dancing with Rufus stone.

Winter weddings

Posted in Weddings by Jules

As I am sat here this morning waiting to leave for todays wedding it got me thinking about just how much I love winter weddings. Over the past few years we have been doing more and more winter wedding and we both have loved them, this year we have more than ever and its wonderful. During previous years our winter weddings have mostly been local to Hampshire and Dorset, But not always, in fact we did Cornwall and Devon a couple of years ago and this year we have already visited Cornwall and soon we are up in Surrey and then Berkshire which is great. We often stay over the night before our weddings as we did in Cornwall which just takes all the pressure out of travelling.

If your interested in a winter wedding win Hampshire, Dorset, Surrey or anywhere in the Uk please take a look through our winter weddings featured on our website or here on our blog by searching the archives, I think you will agree that we have shot some amazing winter weddings.

Please let us know if we can help you, you can download our  prices on our documents page but please contact us for a chat, you can rest assured we offer great value for money all year round and dont charge extra for peak dates or winter dates,

Our Workshops

Posted in Workshops by Jules

As most of you know, Sue and I also run very successful training workshops on most subjects from getting to know your new DSLR camera through to specialised subjects such as marketing and photographing weddings.

Yesterday we ran a one 2 one Boudoir photography workshop well actually it was a one 2 two workshop because Iain and Louise both joined us and because they were from the same studio we did both together as one workshop.

We had a great day starting at 08:30 and finishing at 5pm and we were all totally shattered, We had 2 great models, Amy and Ruth, we have worked with them both several times and as always they were great.

Looking at the photo’s briefly this morning, I am delighted with them and know that Iain and Louise will be too, I will post a few later over on our Boudoir website.

Please let us know if your interested in a boudoir workshop, we would love to see you.

Jules

Wedding in Cornwall with Dan and Marie

Posted in Weddings by Jules

On Saturday we joined Dan and Marie for their beautiful february wedding down in Cornwall, We met with them a couple of years ago when we joined Marc and Gemma Patch for their wedding in Southampton, Marc and Dan have been friends for years.

Sue & I drove down to Cornwall the day before the wedding and stayed over in our fav Travel-lodge (yes we know how to live it up)  That evening we drove to Marie’s parents farm to meet them and then to the lovely chapel where they got married and then the venue just to make the wedding day a little easier.

On the morning of the wedding we started our day with Marie at the farm who was surrounded by her lovely friends and family as well as her makeup and hair artist Cornelius who did a great job and was quite the character to work with, We then left to meet Dan and the boys at the Chapel for a few shots before Marie arrived looking amazing. After a truly wonderful service we headed off with Just Marie and Dan for a few shots down by the Beach which was fab as you can see from the shots below, we then headed off to the venue just up the road for some lovely photos outside in the brisk but brief sunshine.

We then headed in for a wonderful warming wedding breakfast followed by some great speeches, later Dan and Marie got down to some serious dancing whilst Sue & I headed off home exhausted after a fantastic day.

Will and Clare’s thoughts

Posted in Weddings by Jules

I received this today from our October wedding with Will and Claire.  It was so nice that I thought I would share it.

Hi Jules and Sue,

I hope you both had a great weekend.

Clare and I just wanted to drop you a quick note to say thank you. The album looks amazing, we are absolutely delighted with it and really couldn’t have hoped for more. I have lost count of the number of times we have looked through it already! We will treasure it forever!

Having seen the photos on your website and portfolios when we first met you, we never had any doubt that the quality of your photographs would be exceptional (friends at work who have now seen the album all agree that it is the best wedding album they have ever seen!), however what really stood out for us was your contribution to the wedding day itself, whether it was Jules stepping in and organising the guests for us, or making fun of one of my brothers, Sue fixing Clare’s hair and all the encouraging smiles and advice through the day. You helped everyone feel completely at ease, which in turn shows in your photographs. When it was time to leave, we were just as sad to see you go as the rest of our guests!

Make sure you stay in touch and hopefully we will see you soon, whether at friends’ weddings in the future or for a training day (maybe even with a new lens by then!).

Will and Clare
