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.

Catwalk show: London Fashion Weekend February 2010 – Friday

Saturday, February 27, 2010 8:49 pm Posted in commercial work, events, portraits

On Friday afternoon I went up to Somerset House for London Fashion Weekend to shoot the catwalk shows. After a successful trip up in September I once again had an accredited pass to the catwalk shows and was looking to get some great images of the clothes and of course the models.

Each catwalk show was divided into four set of clothing – three different looks, and the entire Betty Jackson collection and the show was repeated in it’s entirety. Very much different from the September show with it’s amazing Manish Arora couture collection this was full of more accessible looks for the visitors and much more subtle pastel colours in evidence – which actually made it harder to shoot.

Here are some of the first cut of images from Friday – I have another set to look through and I might add some more up here next week but wanted to get some up early while the shows are still on.
