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 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.

Marwell Hall wedding photography: Danni and Stu

Saturday, June 5, 2010 11:45 pm Posted in Marwell Hall, weddings

We photographed a wedding on this weekend in 2008 at Marwell Hall and two years later returned in similar weather for the wonderful wedding of Danni and Stu. This wedding was beautifully animal themed from the tiger and leopard ties, and the wedding breakfast room and table plan.

I started at the Marwell Hotel bumping into Stuart on my way down to see Danni and photographer her preparations, the dress, shoes and jewellery as well as to meet and get to know the bridesmaids and her family. From then on it was up to Marwell Hall and some images of the guys and guests before Danni arrived on the road train and onto the ceremony. Everyone then chilled out on the rear lawn eating ice creams, canapes and cooling down with a drink and some music from the string quartet while we did the family groups and then on to feed the lemurs.

Danni and Stu then had time to relax with their guests on the lawn before the wedding breakfast after which followed a pun-laden father-of-the-brides speech and a moving tribute from the best-man, Stu’s brother Paul. Hula Groove provided the evenings music and I left as the dancing got into full swing with my job done, leaving the guests to enjoy themselves.

Here are a selection of images from the day, which you can view by clicking on them, or stepping through. The full wedding can be seen by guests and friends by going to Danni and Stu’s dedicated wedding page on the website from which you can get to all the galleries, you need to get the passwords from them.
