PHOTOFINISH-UK : Thoughts of Professional Photographers

Motorcyle Happiness!

2008-05-04T00:00:00.003+01:00

What a great wife to have! Not only did Nikki look fab whilst marriying Mike, but for a surprise wedding gift, she bought him a motorbike! You should have seen his face!

Anyway, brilliant wedding at the excellent Royal Bath Hotel. I love photographing there, because it is a little gem for different locations. The front is great (if not a bit dangerous!), the corridors and rooms all lok fab, the garden is amazing - and then it is only a short jaunt down to the sea front for classic Bournemouth Wedding photos.

A bit different today, as we strolled down to the Pier & then took ice cream onto the sand. Good fun!

Hayley & Dill's Wedding

2008-05-03T23:55:00.002+01:00

What a brilliant day at Hayley & Dill's wedding in Ringwood. Amazing church, lovely people & the weather held for a change too.

Higlights included Dill's pride & joy car (not that hot according to his mates!), a great stop off near Moyles Court for some fab bridal portraits and the fabulous 3 Lions at Fordinbridge for the reception

That was a crazy night! The 'Car Crash Line' Xmas party at the Carrington House Hotel. 200 ish people all partying away. The place was beautifully decorated & everyone had a great time from our viewpoint.

L A Dance Academy Show

2007-12-09T12:51:00.000Z

Last night I filmed the opening performance of the LA Dance Academy show, 'Take To The Floor'. We are also filming tonight. The final DVD will be created from both nights.

The response to the photo's that we took a few weeks back was very positive as well, with people panic buying for Christmas gifts!

Stage Door Open Session

2007-12-09T12:48:00.000Z

What a great morning we had last Sunday at Stage Door school of dance! We hosted an open photo session for mini portfolio's. Loads of people turned up & we were very impressed with the quality of some of the girls dancing.

We returned the favour offering an amazing deal for Christmas - every image we took printed to 7x5 AND the CD of high res files for a silly £99!! We must be mad!

Another Wedding...

2007-11-10T23:21:00.000Z

We photographed the penultimate wedding of the year today, over 60. Just 1 more in December to go.

Today, we were at The Haven with Jo & Mark. Lovely relaxed wedding but chilly outside. Amazing light this time of year though.

The bride & groom are off the St Lucia for the honeymoon - lucky things!

Another Great Day

2007-10-28T21:00:00.001Z

Spent a very enjoyable day at Highcliffe Castle Wedding Exhibition today. Met some lovely people with a genuine interest in decent wedding photography. Well done to Jane Fry, the organiser for attracting so many visitors. We have exhibited at a number of 'dodgy' shows recently so it made a nice change to have lots of couples to show our work to. Hopefully, many of you who saw our work will contact us to arrange to discuss how we can take part in your big day. Going by the response today, I expect that will be the case!

Welcome!
