Hampshire Wedding Photographers specialising in Contemporary and Documentary wedding photography| Fareham Portrait Studio | Commercial Photography bio picture

Welcome to my Blog!

Hi my name is Mike French, and I'm a Fareham - Hampshire based photographer, and the owner of Meonshore Studios, a family run business. I'm passionate about my photography, and running the studio and I like to think this shows in the way I interact with my clients and of course in the images I create.

I adore shooting weddings, and I'm always looking to capture those special moments as well as document the day as it unfolds - my style is a fusion of contemporary, classical & documentary photography. However I also love portraits showing families growing together and of course my commercial work.

All the images you see below are mine, I hope you enjoy them and that this blog gives you some insight into what we do and how I work.

Meonshore Studios

Meonshore Studios is based in Fareham, Hampshire and covers clients all over the UK and beyond. Weddings are typically photographed in Hampshire, West Sussex, Berkshire, Surrey and Dorset although we have been asked to cover weddings across the UK and indeed Europe.

Our portraits are most likely to be taken in Hampshire in the studio or on location and of course we travel anywhere for our commercial clients.

We are an award winning studio, and recommended by many venues, wedding planners and vendors and agencies.

This blog is the diary of the studio and contains a mixture of the work that we do - we have dedicated websites for our different types of photography.

Mottisfont Abbey Wedding: Ceri and David

Sunday, August 19, 2007 6:04 pm Posted in Mottisfont Abbey, weddings

Ceri and David got married at Mottisfont Abbey near Romsey on the 17th August. This stunning National Trust property was a fitting backdrop to this beautiful wedding with a strong bell-ringing theme.

A short tour around Hampshire saw me meet up with Lynda from Exclusively Weddings who did the amazing floral displays and also to shoot the building, and then on to the house to cover some of Ceri’s preparations before returning to Mottisfont Abbey to await the bride and groom. After a lovely ceremony we got some lovaly family groups infront of the impressive building before a short rain spell caused an interlude and then dinner, images of which you can see above. Once dinner and speeches were over we managed to get 20 minutes outside again as the light was fading to have some time alone with both Ceri and David before I left them to enjoy the evening with their family and friends.

Here are a few from the day
