Andrew and Helen's wedding at Tickton Grange

-

If a wedding is to have a theme, summed up in one word, this one was definitely all about the "dance"!

Andrew and Helen were lovely to work with, and enjoyed their special day immensely, not even letting an early-morning downpour of rain put them off.

They had been brought together by dance classes in Howden with Feathersteps School of Dance, learning latin and ballroom.  They went as individuals and soon became a couple.  My good friend Sophie Brooke recommended me as their wedding photographer, so they give me a call and that was that!

Between us, we even recommended the Tickton Grange hotel near Beverley when they asked for ideas on venue, needing a large capacity.  With the Rose Room as a ceremony and reception room, they also have a pleasant bar and patio area leading to the beautiful gardens.

Helen and Andrew both finished their preparations in the hotel, before the ceremony.  Colour scheme for the flowers and dresses was classic baby blue and pink, tastefully followed through to the understated lacy chair covers.

The day went swimmingly (with no more rain) and even their beloved dog Otis got in on the photo action, in cardboard cut-out form!  Their guests were great, getting involved and playing around, so we got lots of fun shots, as well as some beautiful bride and groom shots in the gardens, including the amazing recent invention of a bridal dress with pockets!  Their first dance had been choreographed by Feathersteps, and they were a little nervous about it, especially as Sophie would be there to watch! I had been kept up to date with their rehearsal progress in the weeks and months leading up to the big day, and they did not disappoint with a very polished and fun performance!

UPDATE! Their wedding album is now complete and can be seen here:

Professional headshots

Actor headshot in the studio If you are a professional and need your "public" image to be a little better than a selfie that you got from your Facebook profile picture, step this way! With the studio setup we can do a number of different looks, depending on the session time. Actor headshot done in the studio in Hull Same actor, but with a different look, shot during the same session.   Actor headshot on white background And again, shot just outside the studio for a more industrial outdoor look. Headshot done outside the studio You may need a more serious headshot for your LinkedIn profile, or for your "meet the team" section of your company website, or perhaps something more dramatic if you are an actor needing to promote your portfolio.

Home boudoir photography in the Hull area

-

  If you are wanting to arrange a boudoir photoshoot in Hull or the surrounding areas, instead of a shoot in the studio, you have the option of having it in your home. It gives a much different look and will give it more of a personal touch. It also means you have access to all of your stuff - all your outfits are close to hand and you are in familiar surroundings. As long as you have a decent amount of space and a relatively uncluttered room, we can make some beautiful photos without you leaving the house. Please get in touch so we can discuss suitability for a home photoshoot. Here are a few example images from a home shoot, using no more than light from the window and occasionally a small flashgun to fill the shadows. Most of the shoot was done in the window area or on the bed.

Model shoot with Natalja

-

 Natalja came for her second photoshoot this week.  We had previously done some fashion-style photos at the studio, after abandoning an outdoor shoot due to the wintery weather, but this time we had discussed a few ideas based on some more sensual photos we had seen online. She brought a selection of quite fabulous lingerie and worked to implied nude (even though she wasn't quite!)   Although she said she had not modelled before, she had a great look and took direction when needed, but was happy to play around with her posing.  Here are some of my favourites.  If you want to arrange a shoot of your own in the Hull East Yorkshire, get in touch through my contact page .
