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.

Andrea and Dale’s pre-wedding shoot at Langrish House, Hampshire

Sunday, January 11, 2009 8:38 pm Posted in Langrish House, pre-wedding shoots

Yesterday was our first pre-wedding shoot of the year and the amazing haw frost helped to blow away the Christmas cobwebs as we prepare for another busy Hampshire wedding photography season.

Andrea and Dale are getting married at Langrish House later in the Spring and we’ll be hoping for some lovely weather and warmth at this lovely country house hotel. But it was roll-necks, coats and gloves all round for a snuggly pre-wedding shoot to allow them to get used to being photographed and me to get used to them !

We used most of the grounds, but were unable to get inside as the house was closed for a couple of weeks. As usual we practiced some of the classical poses and then got some lovely relaxed images, natural moments and laughter – all of which I’ll be looking for on their big day.

With venues like Langrish House it is a pleasure to be a wedding photographer in Hampshire and I’m looking forward to the Wedding Fair at the house on the 1st February which I’ll be attending. Until then – here are some images from the session (if you can’t see more than one hit (more…) !).
