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.

Thorney Island pre-wedding shoot: Rachel and Garry

Monday, June 14, 2010 8:35 pm Posted in pre-wedding shoots, St Nicholas

On Sunday I photographed Rachel and Garry on Thorney Island near Emsworth for their pre-wedding shoot. They will be getting married in the 12th century St Nicholas church at the tip of the island right next to the water and remaining on the island for their wedding reception.

We used the church for most of the classical photographs and then as Rachel and Garry got more used to the camera we moved on and after looking around the reception venue took a short drive to the beach where we got some more relaxed images out in the warm early evening sunlight.

Here are some of my favourite images from the day, which you can view by clicking on the thumbnails. The rest can be viewed in the online gallery if Rachel and Garry have provided you with a password – and their dedicated page on our website can be found here and bookmarked to make it easier to return after their wedding.
