As we wound down for Christmas this year we photographed: a couple of Christmas evening events, a new housing development in Wiltshire, a winter wedding - and to help us forget about the cold outside, started work photographing a clothing company's new Spring/Summer range!
December is also the time of year we update all our portfolio and website ready for the new year ahead so watch this space for some new upcoming photography packages that we are launching in January.
Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year everyone!

November this year we'll remember for the weather! We photographed the first edition of the Monster Race - a cross country race through a beautiful parkland over (/under and through!) gruelling obstacles, here we experienced everything from bright sunshine and blue skies, to horizontal rain! We had family portrait shoots cancelled due to relentless showers, only to be rescheduled on bright crisp autumnal days. We also covered some lovely wintery and Christmassy weddings, complete with fireworks and town Christmas lights celebrations!
Tash has been busy photographing some pre-school and nursery groups so that the images can be ready in time for Christmas. While on the corporate side of the business we've been photographing for various organisations in London, Salford, Bristol and Bath, as well as photographing branches and staff of a national chain of estate agents.

October has been a varied month. On the commercial side of the business we've photographed two corporate award ceremonies, in-store media photography for one of the major supermarkets, numerous properties for a national chain of estate agents, and regular studio shoots. On the family-side of things we've covered a new born baby shoot, a family portrait shoot, two toddler group photography sessions, and a fiftieth birthday extravaganza in Exeter, including a beautiful walk with a great bunch of people out on Dartmoor. Weddings too are still busy, having photographed weddings and civil partnerships this month, in Bath, Bristol, Newport and London.

As our peak wedding season draws to a close, we've been to Wales, London, Bristol, Essex and the Cotwolds to photograph some great end of summer weddings as well as some brilliant local weddings. This month has seen some fantastic themes for weddings, including table names in the form of marathon numbers and 12" records, gondola racing in a hotel swimming pool, and in South West Wales we even pictured a bride and her bridesmaids arriving at the ceremony in the bucket of a farm vehicle driven by her father! This month Tash has been kept doubly busy with family & nursery portrait sessions, Martin with a charity book event in London, and Steve photographing various properties across Wiltshire. Whilst in the studio we've photographed everything from ladies fashion to gift hampers for dogs.

August is proving as busy as ever for weddings and as if to prove the saying that no two are the same, this month we've photographed ceremonies on board ship, in a castle, in hotels, at a country house, on a golf course, in a town hall, on a family farm and in a field!!!
When not driving across all courners of the country for weddings we've been busy photographing a family party, a Christening, baby portraits and an engagement shoot.
Commercial work this month has been just as varied, ranging from a charity golf tournament to taking on a large contract to photograph properties for a national estate agent chain.

Summer is here! and we're making the most of it. During July we've been topping up our sun tans whilst returning again as official photographers of the Larmer Tree Festival - 5 glorious days of sunshine and some fantastic music, theatre, dance and comedy to capture.
While the sun has been shining we've also been doing some fundarising work including photographing several local pre-schools and nurseries, and running a popup studio at our local village fete.
July has of course is also peak wedding season - congratulations to all our wedding clients - including 5 weddings in the last weekend of July alone!

New York, New York! Congratulations and thanks to Ivana and Dave Hulin - This month we finally photographed a wedding in a destination we've been excited about for some time: Manhattan! Over a four day period we covered the wedding from initial rehersals through the wedding day itself and even a post wedding shoot at Grand Central station.
In the studio we've been hard at work photographing a new range of dog chews and biscuits (currently under press embargo so that is all we can say!).
Our Facebook page is gathering pace, now with over 250 likes it has more friends than my own personal page! Our aim was for 500 likes by the end of the first year it's been running so hopefully we're well on target to exceed that.

With our Facebook page continuing to fly (some posts are now reaching an audience of 8000 people) we've been inspired to embrace the next social media site on our hit list: Pintrest.

We're drawing on our archive of over 750,000 images from weddings we've photographed over the last eight years to pick out unique, brilliant and original ideas to inspire your big day.
We're releasing new boards every week throughout the summer - so if you've got an idea for a theme, please drop us a line, and we'll see what we can put together!

Away from our desks, we've been photographing weddings all over the country - and beyond!

Despite being a short month we've packed a lot in to February:
On the wedding side of the business we've photographed our first four weddings of the year, proving that people are still getting married in 2013 despite suggestions couples might avoid this year due to superstitions! We're also ramping up our packages for destination weddings, currently this year we're booked out to photograph weddings in New York and Rome.
In the studio we've been joined by a new mannequin - having undertaken our first studio shoot for children's clothing. Finally, in complete contrast to our warm, clean studio, we've signed up for some mud, in the form of photographing a new gruelling running race through bogs and over obstacles - the Monster Race: www.monsterrace.co.uk

2013 has seen in a major overhaul of our website. We've introduced a new client gallery viewer which is fully compatible with iPhones and iPads. Our wedding examples have been refreshed with new, easier to access images, and we've added new options and a platinum package.
In the last few years we've photographed weddings across the US, Africa and Europe, and with upcoming weddings in Rome and New York this year, we've created a destination weddings page which we'll keep updated with new information over the coming months - if you're planning a wedding abroad do contact us as we're always keen to photograph in new locations so can offer discounts accordingly.
We've a lot of new ideas being introduced over the next 12 months, including special offers and our first foray into the publishing world - details of which will be announced here on the website.
Aside from our updates to the website, work goes on - even throughout the snow in January. Our commercial side of the business has been busy covering a two-day event in Cambridge, clothing and food studio shoots and an award ceremony at Bowood House in Wiltshire.
