We don't often post much here related to our on-location shoot's but I thought I would share with you a few frames from our recent Urban Portrait shoot in Hedge End, Southampton. We have currently got dates available this autumn for one2one or group photography sessions. Why not get in-touch to find out more about our on-location shoots.

Let me introduce you to Rebecca (16). Our secret Hedge End location provided the perfect backdrop for these gritty underground style photographs. A mixture of coloured lighting and bright clothes really made these images pop. Rebecca did her own makeup and hair for this shoot.

We are pleased to announce the launch of our brand new, squeaky clean, fresh new look exclusive client area.

A few weeks back we photographed the brilliant wedding of Aspen & Chris. Prior to their wedding they opted for one of our new landscape Occasions Three albums. Well it's just been collected and they are 'over the moon' with the results. 

They have kindly allowed us to show you a few images from their wedding album but before you do here are some kind words we have just received from them.

"Steven and Karen, we just wanted to say the hugest thank you for all your hard work and professionalism when providing us with our perfect wedding photography package. There is so much to think about organising a wedding but after booking your services we were rest assured that you knew what we wanted and didnt have to worry about the photography aspect at all. On the day you made us feel so comfortable and at ease and the superb photos really reflect this. Your organisation and experience really helped the day run smoothly and the resulting photographs and more than we could have hoped for.

Thank you for capturing the wonderful memories of our day so brilliantly. We will be sure to recommend your services to others.

All the very best,

Chris and Aspen"

We have just received a new sample Occasions Three album from a recent wedding we photographed at Chilworth Manor. This will be available to view at our upcoming wedding shows starting in September.

We have just received the following lovely kind words in our inbox from Helen & Matt who we photographed (in July, see post below) at Chilworth Manor.

"Without a doubt one of the best decisions we made regarding our wedding was picking you to photograph it. It was important to us we had a good rapport with our photographers & you made the whole experience an absolute pleasure. And when we saw the finished result we were blown away!

You worked so hard on the day & were friendly, enthusiastic & professional throughout.  Many of our guests commented on what an amazing job you did & the engaged couples were all asking for you details.  The photographs themselves are beautiful & have completely captured the feel of the day - the only hard bit has been choosing which photos won't go in the album!

Thanks once again for everything, we will be recommending you whenever & wherever possible."
Best wishes, Helen & Matt

At the beginning of August we photographed the wedding of Dawn and Steve who married at the amazing Four Seasons Hotel which is situated in Hook, Hampshire. In all the many years of shooting weddings we have to put this hotel up there with the best wedding locations which we have attended. Everything about this hotel oozes quality and it was a privilege to work there. Just wish the weather was a little better so we could explore additional locations but I hope to have the opportunity again soon. Okay enough of the chit chat. Here are some previews from their big day.

A few weeks ago we photographed the wedding of Helen and Matt who married at St James Church in Hedge End and then held their wedding reception at the ever brilliant Chilworth Manor. Now that Helen & Matt have seen their wedding photographs here are a few from their day...

We have just updated our wedding exhibitions list to include 3 local wedding shows we will be attending during September and October. If you are still planning your big day for 2011 or 2012 why not pop in and have a chat. Click Here for further details

On the 19th of June we photographed the wedding of Aspen & Chris who married at St Mary's Church in Warash and then held their wedding reception at the Warsash Maritime Academy. Aspen & Chris have opted for one of our 'Occasions Three' wedding storybook albums together with one of our personalised DVD's which will be jam packed with all their wedding images.

Their photo's are now available for friends and family to see but we have also included a few random previews below. Hope you like them.

On June 12th we attended the wedding of Fiona & Andy who married at St James in Shirley Southampton and then held their wedding reception at the popular Chilworth Manor. We have now got over the sunburn and completed their initial picture selection. Fiona and Andy have opted for one of our fantastic 'Occasions Four' storybook albums together with a DVD Slideshow and full DVD Image set. Oh boy have they got plenty of choice for all products...

Here are a few from the day....

On June 5th we had a fantastic day with Anna & Keith who held their wedding at a very unique location called Minley Manor. The manor is a grade 2 listed country manor house situated on an MOD site very close to junction 4A of the M3. Surprising to find out but the manor was used as a location in the 2007 film Stardust. It's a superb location with so much variety...

I thought I would pick out some pictures from Anna & Keith's wedding which demonstrate a little about how myself(Steven) and Karen work together to capture some of our photographs. Our photography style has always been about capturing as much variety as possible in often typical UK wedding time constraints. As you will see in some of the latter shots one location can be used in a variety of ways...
