Jemma Photoshoot July 26th 2010

Another model portfolio photoshoot this morning, this time with Jemma, who had travelled down the A1 to us from Newcastle.

We began the day in the studio, a couple of hours in various sets and outfits, before we headed for some outdoor shots.

We ended the day, at the incoming edge of The North Sea, as the tide rushed in, and which I can confirm was freezing cold, while Jemma did a dip or ten in the water.

Here are a few sample shots from this shoot.

Tara Photoshoot July 19th 2010

This morning we welcomed Tara to the studio for a model portfolio photoshoot.

Although we had hoped for better weather to do some shots on location, it went against us and we had to stay in the studio.

Here's a couple from the session.

Melanie and Trevor Wedding Peterlee July 17th 2010

Melanie and Trevor are a fantastic couple, both of whom are completely blind, and after a couple of emails and a meeting at their home in Trimdon, they booked us to do their wedding photography

They met on an online dating site for the blind, and 20 minutes after logging in had found each other, before Trevor took a trip from his home in Trimdon to Melanies home town of Hull.

Despite this disability, they are two of the happiest people you could ever hope to meet, often making jokes about their lack of sight. Even during the cutting of the cake, Trevor said it looked lovely.

They even had Tyne Tees Television there to film the wedding for a news story

It was a pleasure to be part of their wedding and here are a couple from the day.

Had an enjoyable time doing the wedding photography of Angela and Michael at Preston Hall in glorious sunshine.

We began the day in Stockton at the home of Angela for her preparations before heading off to Preston Hall to meet Michael and prepare for the ceremony.

Rachel & David Wedding Rushpool Hall July 10th 2010

Despite the varying weather forecasts we'd had in the run up to this wedding, it was a warm summers afternoon in Saltburn, for the wedding of Rachel Barlow and David Ledger at Rushpool Hall.

We caught up early doors with Rachel in the bridal suite, with her bridesmaids, Beverley, Nicola and Laura, before leaving them to their champagne and meeting up with the groom David, Best Man Paul and groomsman James for a few shots prior to the ceremony.

Here are just a few from before the ceremony.

When is a day off, not a day off ?

What a day !

With a busy schedule ahead, we decided that today would be our day off as we're working through the weekend.

The day started well enough with a well earned sleep in, well if you can regard 8.30am as a sleep in. Had breakfast and then the work began.

With the new website about to be unveiled, we have been selecting images to show on the site, and having narrowed the selections down to around 300 images, I set about editing and resizing them.

Its now been around about 4 hours and nearly completed the last few. Hopefully the website can be finished and put online very shortly.

Now I need to go back to work for a rest :-)

Enjoy the weekend folks !
