Fine Art Newborn Photography | Hampshire Commercial Photography | Fareham Photography Studio bio picture

Welcome to the Meonshore Studios 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 fine art newborn portraits, capturing little babies for their first professional photograph. I also love creating portraits showing families growing together and the creative but critical commercial work. For personal work I shoot sport, and wildlife predominately

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. We specialize in fine art newborn portraits of babies between 3 and 15 days of age, and location family portraits. These are most likely to be taken in Hampshire in the studio or on location and of course we travel anywhere for our commercial clients.

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.

Hillier Gardens – Romsey for the pre-wedding shoot of Sally & Mark

Saturday, July 11, 2009 10:32 pm Posted in pre-wedding shoots, Sir Harold Hillier Gardens

I met up with Sally and Mark at Hillier Gardens in Romsey earlier today for their pre-wedding shoot. The gardens have a big connection with Mark’s family and it was lovely to take some photographs in a place they knew so well. We started with a hot drink, and a chat to work through the details of their wedding day later in the year and then with no sign of the drizzle abating we ventured out into the lush gardens to capture some lovely images of the two of them both as a practice for the big day and also to get some memorable images which can be used for the wedding itself.

We started in an oak shelter down by the pond and moved past some big architectural planting to a beautiful spot near Jermyn’s House (which incidentally had a wedding taking place in it at the time), having captured some great images we walked back to the visitors centre and finished off before leaving just as the gardens closed for the night.

As usual here are some images from the day… more after the jump.
