Another wonderful newborn baby session in the studio this time with the babies father present as well, allowing me to capture these fine art newborn baby images.
We have just designed a new display album from one of our Rhinefield House weddings. This display album is in two sizes a 12×8″ (A4) and a 14×10″ both identical in design to enable us to show the difference in image sizes and album covers.
This morning I met up with Tanya and Mike for their pre-wedding shoot at Marwell. We arranged to meet early at the entrance to the wildlife park and walk up to the Hall overtaking most of the general public and ensuring that we had some peace and privacy for the duration of our pre-wedding shoot.
I spent the afternoon on a commercial photography commission in Winchester, Hampshire with the team at The Place For Mortgages (TPM).
This week I had the the opportunity to photograph another little newborn baby girl – just 8 days old.
Earlier this evening I photographed Christie and Martin’s pre-wedding shoot at the Rhinefield House Hotel in the New Forest. Although they are not getting married until 2011 Christie and Martin were keen to do their pre-wedding shoot at this time, and it was good timing as well as the grounds will be in similar condition when they get married. It was also great to see them again having initially met at the wedding fair at Botley Park Hotel earlier in the year.
Pennyhill Park in Surrey was the wedding venue on Saturday for Robert and Tatiana’s wedding. Tatiana originally from the Ukraine and Robert, a Scotsman, got married in this very English luxury five star hotel in Bagshot.
Friday’s wedding was in East Sussex with the ceremony at St Peter’s in Bexhill and the wedding reception at Powdermills Hotel in Battle. Helen and Graham had been referred to me by two of my previous brides who both work with Graham.
This morning I was able to photograph this lovely little 7 day old baby girl in the studio.
This evening Gemma and Dan came and collected their beautiful Marwell Hall wedding album. This contemporary panoramic matted album features cedar timber wood covers and a distressed mocca leather spine with white leaves.
Saturday was possibly one of the hottest days of the year so far and so I was delighted to be spending it on the very edge of the coast with some cooling sea breezes. Rachel and Garry’s wedding took place on Thorney Island, here in Hampshire, at St Nicholas’ church and then onto the Warrant Officers’ and Sergeants Mess for the reception.
Yesterday evening I was at the exclusive and luxurious Pennyhill Park Hotel in Bagshot, Surrey for the pre-wedding shoot of Tatiana and Robert who will be married there later this summer.
