Foreverly Take 2 Shoots!

What is a Foreverly Take 2 Shoot? Well let’s have one of favorite brides ever tell you in her own words what a Take 2 Shoot is!

"Upon first hearing that I was going to be able to put my wedding dress on again, I was so excited.  Although Tim and I had only been married for five months, the dress was still in my mind as we were at the stage where we were looking through all our photos again ready to pick some out for our new photo frames. 

I was envisaging how I would feel when I put it on again...and when I did, it didn't disappoint - it just felt very special.  I could see myself stand up straight with my head held high and I felt like a bride.  Seeing Tim in his wedding suit also made my heart miss a bit - I was reminiscing about our wonderful day and the fact that we are still so happy together (even though we've been together for nine years!).  The swish of the fabric, the sparkle of the dress and the train - you never forget just how special your wedding dress is." 

Much love. xxx”

Kate & Tim’s wedding was a very special wedding for us. Our daughter was just 7 days old when they got married!  We thoroughly enjoyed the privilege of documenting their special day!  To get to work with them again and see just how much in love they are was a real treat indeed!

Please enjoy a few photographs of this lovely couple on their Take 2 Shoot

 

We hope Kate & Tim enjoyed their Take 2 Shoot as much as we did!

Adrenalin Rush Anyone?

 

Sometimes you need a cold slap in the face to get motivated! Or alternatively you could do a turn on the ropes at Closer To The Edge! They are absolutely the best when it comes to running courses for team building and self confidence.

They have a few different experiences and a quick check of their Web Site will show you just what a great experience can be had. We went to one of their locations and covered an event by providing photographs of the participants as they participated in the confidence courses!

We are always available for this type of photography! Getting outside and climbing and covering our clients in these confidence building courses is a thrill! If you have an event that you would like us to cover please don’t hesitate to contact us! Having proof of just how brave you really are is never a bad thing!

Prints! I Like Them Large!

I know I am probably not alone when I say I like BIG prints! The bigger the better and the tighter and sharper the image the bigger you can take that print. A large print on a wall with little satellite prints around it is a very cool look.  Also popular is the family portrait with individual prints of each family member around the main portrait.

BUT… what if you had one large print without all the little prints? One print that had 16 individual images or a sequence of images that needed to be displayed together because… well because they just do!

You have so many options when it comes to prints these days, so many cool frames and so little wall space   Why not design a print around the room it’s going to hang in? You spend months and months looking for the perfect sofa, and weeks on end looking at paint and trying to find the perfect shade why not design a print that fits the room? Why limit yourself to the traditional 10x8 or 6x4? Why not have a custom print that is 30”x30” and fits the blank spot on the wall and gives the room the perfect finishing touch?

It isn’t going to cost as much as you may think, it is highly personalized and you can design it from the photo shoot to the printing! Big prints give the viewer the ability to enjoy the subject and feel more connected to it than a smaller standard print in a standard frame.

Make your own Art! It really is a lot of fun designing a large Montage of images and once framed they last a life time!

OR…why not have a large print as a poster? We can mount your prints on foam core! They are light and easily moved from place to place and hanging them up is very easy! You really can fill a wall with personal treasures for not a whole lot of money and you can keep it current as well!

Some examples that I hope illustrate my idea! Thank you to the Thacker family as these images are from their shoot at Mary Stevens Park! The boys were terrific and we all really had a great time  

(An hour or so in the park playing with your kids and getting some great photographs sounds like fun )

Last But Not Least! This is an 18”x18” square design which allows it to be made larger or smaller to fit the space you are looking to fill.

You can have these made up for parties or special events! A client had a collection of family photographs made into 8 posters to celebrate their parents 50th Wedding Anniversary! They looked great and the family had some really cool mementos as well.

We can make a big print for you! Custom designed with your existing photographs or book a family shoot like the Thacker Family did and start your custom Art project!

As always Thank You for Stopping By!

Have a great weekend and stay safe!!

One day old!

Our little girl is 1 day old and the absolute apple of our eye!

Vintage Bride

 

Well the past few days have found Vanessa and I very busy! Saturday we shot a party for the kids at Acorns which is a hospice care center for children. We found ourselves amazed and humbled at the work these kind and real hero’s do with these very special children. Acorns is a very, very special place and it will be the topic of a blog post in the next few days. We are excited to share this story with you and want to give it the proper attention it deserves.

So we have a wedding we did a little while back and we are up dating and pulling out images that we haven’t shared before and using some of our new editing techniques on them and I thought I would share some of them with you. Rebecca is a school teacher and she married Nick, who is also a school teacher! Their wedding was set to a retro vintage theme. Rebecca was stunning as ever!

We wish Nick & Rebecca continued happiness and success in their marriage1

Out In The English Countryside

A couple of weekends ago Vanessa and I were invited to stay at a friends house in the country. David and Michelle were the perfect hosts! It was a mini vacation for a day and a half but so very refreshing! The Sunday morning David and I got up and went out for a walk in the morning air. It was a little damp and there was just a hint of chill in the air but it was perfect for wandering through the English Country Side.  The dog came along and was flushing pheasants everywhere. We even spotted a white pheasant and it was a real treat!

I brought along my camera (is anyone surprised by that?) and thought I would share some of what I got to see on the Sunday morning walk.

Wall Art

As Wedding & Portrait Photographers, Vanessa and I love the idea of going out and just wandering with our camera’s and discovering some things new and some things old. Colors and textures as well as patterns that either occur in nature or are man made always seem to catch our eye. We stretch our creativity and use the natural occurring light as we discover little details in the world around us.

These adventures help keep our eyes sharp and our minds keen and help to strengthen our Wedding and Portrait photography skills.

We have made these into wall art and have decorated our home with them. The images are not the everyday images hanging in Art shops or Shopping Centers.

We thought we would share some of them with you and hope you enjoy them as much as we do!

Here Comes The Weekend!

For some of us, as parents it's not long now till we step away from our desks and head off to the fields for soccer games, courts for basket ball games and in our case rugby pitches! Rugby is a game played without pads and American football has been based on.

It is an impressive sport in the toughness, and the diligence the boys train and play with. It is at the end of the game as well a gentleman's sport.  Always a handshake after the game between the teams players and coaches. They also share a meal after the match in the hosting rugby clubs team club house.

I wanted to share a few shots of my step son Harry and his team playing in a match.
