Studio diary of Fareham, Hampshire based photographer - Mike French
Yesterday I covered the Open Day for the Lee-on-the-Solent tennis and squash club here in Hampshire. The club were looking to use the images for PR and promotional purposes and also to have as event coverage for the visitors to the club to be able to look at online very shortly after the day.
Starting with...
At the open day of the Lee-on-the-Solent tennis club the main attraction was an exhibition tennis match between club director of tennis Chris Wilkinson and the 1987 Wimbledon champion Pat Cash. Chris played Pat at the same event last year and this year I was fortunate enough to have court side access for the match in my role as official photographer for the event.
have just moved the location of this blog from our meonshoreweddings.co.uk site to our meonshorestudios.co.uk site as part of a revamp across our entire website portfolio. The blog is a diary of the work that we do across weddings, portraits and commercial work and as such didn’t really fit in our specialist weddings site.
Subject to final editorial control and confirmation we believe that Andrea and Dale’s Hampshire wedding which we photographed in March this year has been shortlisted to feature in the next issue of Your Hampshire Wedding magazine. As entrants of the wedding of the year competition they stand to win a fabulous prize of some accommodation at New Place in Shirrell Heath near Southampton – where we have a wedding to photograph this August.
Today was our third photographic session on the bounce and this time it was a pre-wedding shoot for one of our clients who are getting married next month.
Natalie and Stuart are getting married in Bournemouth and have their reception planned for a hotel near the beach which is where we met up for our pre-wedding...
Jo and Michael entered a Your Hampshire Wedding competition towards the end of 2008 which we ran in conjunction with the magazine and were the lucky winners of a complimentary pre-wedding shoot either at their wedding venue or at a south-Hampshire location. Well having waited until the weather picked up we arranged to meet up in Lyndhurst this evening for their session.
Today I photographed a lovely family on the beach at Hill Head near Fareham in Hampshire. Unlike a studio portrait session the location session allows me to get to know the family and then drop into documentary mode as they enjoy themselves and by the time we get to some more directed and posed portraits I’m known and accepted.
