Helen, Mickey and Little Georgia

Here we did a wonderful portrait session for Helen, Mickey and Georgia. I used to be in a band with Mickey we both became Dad's at the same time, in fact Georgia was born exactly a week after our little boy Nate, so it was great to be able to do this shoot for them. Georgia is an absolute pleasure to photograph as she just smiles all the time. We started off with some shots in her room and then we found this disused railway workshop which was great to get some images of her crawling all over the sleepers, and the pink door with the pink hat just worked a treat!

Thanks guys see you soon. Stu

The Complete Wedding Seminar

Anna and I are to host a Discovery Day at the Annabel Williams Studio on 22nd November 07. We're very excited to be doing this as we've attended many workshops and courses at Annabel's most of which have completely transformed our photography and our business - hopefully we'll be able to do the same for the delegates attending this one day event. We've got a very exciting programme worked out for the day which is going to be focused on develeping your own personal style and then using that style to be creative under the pressures of a wedding day. We'll be discussing formulas for creating contempory images and taking a bride and groom out to different locations to show how we create our signature style images. In the afternoon we'll be editing the images in Photoshop to show how a few tweaks can create wonderful artworks that your clients will not be able to resist! I look forward to posting some of the images from the seminar. Cheers Stu

Fiona & Dale

We were very lucky to photograph Fiona & Dales wedding in the summer. They booked us last minute as they had a few problems with their photographer, and we were very pleased that they did! This was such a lovely day and a real privilege to be a part of. They went for a very classic theme with top hats, Rolls Royce's and lots of Bridesmaids, and it was a beautiful day! They were married at St Mary's church in Fratton followed by the reception at the Royal Marines Museum in Eastney. It was made even more special by the fact that they met exactly two years previous, on the train due to the foiled terrorist attacks in London, and then the following year Dale proposed at exactly 3pm so naturally the wedding was at 3 o'clock two years to the day they met. A very romantic story and a very romantic wedding - Fiona & Dale are great together and I think their photographs capture this. All the best for the future to fantastic couple and a really wonderful family. Stu & Anna X

Mario Acerboni "3-from-1" winner!

On Saturday we woke up to a lovely bright sunny morning, looking forward to shooting our last wedding of the summer and we were delighted when we opened the post to see we have won the Mario Acerboni "3-from-1" wedding photographer competition 2007 for the Wessex region! We'll be going to the BPPA awards Dinner in October to receive the award and to see if we will be the overall winner - fingers crossed!

The competition involves entering three images from one wedding with the theme being before, during and after the ceremony. The images we chose were from Anna & Michael's wedding which we shot in April at St Boniface Church on the Isle Of Wight. They are such a fantastic couple and I'm so pleased that it was their wedding that won as I know they'll be thrilled when I tell them!

All the best Stu & Anna
