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.

Tithe Barn, Ditcham – pre-wedding shoot for Noelle and Ross

Sunday, November 25, 2007 9:19 pm Posted in Tithe Barn, pre-wedding shoots

Noelle and Ross have the dubious privilege of being my first wedding clients (currently) for 2008.

They have selected the wonderful Tithe Barn near Petersfield in Hampshire for their wedding, and so with daylite and sunset in mind we organised a pre-wedding shoot their today for the same time as their ceremony so we knew what to expect – as well as to get some lovely images of the two of them and for us all to get used to the photography so on the day it all runs smoothly and discreetly.

The venue really did give us so many choices from old farm buildings, the barn itself and also some industrial buildings around the car park which had some great metal shutters and some old railway sleepers for boundary walls ! Lots of ideas especially for the wedding itself which I am really looking forward to now ….

We had a great time, and I have some of my favourites from the day below.
