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.

Exhibition tennis photography: Pat Cash vs Chris Wilkinson

Saturday, May 30, 2009 8:43 pm Posted in commercial work, events, portraits

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.

Working with the backgrounds, and court positioning I looked to get as clean a background as possible, and also action, expression and the ball in as many of the images as well as covering the major parts of the match.

These images are some of my picks from the game (and the entire event is the subject of another blog post).
