Richard & Heather, a Chicken and a Peacock!

Richard and Heather are getting married tomorrow, having their Easter wedding at Frimley Hall hotel in Camberley, Surrey. For something a little different, I took them to a local farm for their pre-wedding shoot, where we had the opportunity to feed the chickens and the ducks!

Once special part of the day was my achievement of a long-term photographic ambition ... see the final image !

My favourite images from the shoot:








It may look fun ...
... but these chickens have a sharp beak!!


So, my final shot - i have ALWAYS wanted to photograph a peacock with its feathers up and displaying, and I finally managed. This bird was walking around like this for almost 30 minutes solid!



Good luck with the wedding tomorrow guys - really looking forward to it!

Laura & Chris' Pre-Wedding Shoot

Every now and then it's good to try something a little interesting, fun and different. Coming up with the idea is one thing - but having a couple who will trust you enough to go with the flow is another.

Laura and Chris are getting married soon in Winchester and will be holding their reception at Lainston House Hotel. We met up there recently for the pre-wedding shoot and tried out something a little different.

Here are my faves from the session, with the best shot at the end..

















So, our final fun shot is a composite of four that I have put together in Photoshop. Laura & Chris were well and truly up for a little fun stuff, so good on them for lying down on wet grass to create my vision!

Meet Fiona & Family!

I was recently in need of a new set of business stationery, having changed address in the last few months. I decided to try the local PRINTING.COM franchise in Guildford and was very pleasantly surprised indeed.

Given that my brand colour is apparently very difficult to print, especially across different paper stocks, the care and attention that was given to my order was simply outstanding. The resulting colours on the business cards, letterheads, compliment slips and stickers were absolutely spot on, thanks to Caroline, the Studio Manager.

Fiona Humberstone is the owner of the Printing.Com franchise in Guildford, and is a Marketing Guru Genius Lady! She recently introduced Jasper James into the world and we worked a corporate headshot shoot and family shoot into a single session.

It was a thoroughly delightful afternoon, and I was treated to homemade chocolate cookies as well as fairy cakes, which were decorated by the fair-fairy-hands of Jasper's elder sister, Ellie.

This is the adorable little lady in question:

and the cute & very happy little brother:

We had fairy cakes:

and whilst Ellie ate the icing, Jasper ate, um, his toes:

After the fairy cakes, it was time for some flying-fairy-fun!

Thank you, Ellie, for my Fairy Cake!
