Both Lee and Janine came to meet us at our photography studio in Guisborough, they seemed a very fun loving couple to work with, so when they booked us for their wedding photography at Grinkle Park Hotel we were over the moon. Strangely enough this was the second wedding and in fact the second day of the weekend we worked at Grinkle Park.

Jamie and Lyndsay booked their wedding photography with us, what seems like ages ago. We first met them at Luke and Victoria's wedding at Raithewaite Hall in Sandsend, Whitby- North Yorkshire. We felt honoured to be booked for wedding photography by them, as we do by any of our clients. When any client books their wedding photography, we see it that they have enough confidence in our wedding photography and us to make that investment in booking us for their most important day of their life.

Sally turned up at our studio one morning asking if we did bump photography, and as we do she booked us! But I can’t end the blog there?

Sally wanted the shoot very simple and the focus to be more on her bump, which after all that is the important bit. Working with low light we did some really nice classically arty shots, and got exactly what she wanted.

Well, we have been asked to and have hosted children’s parties before at our studio, but never one with a food fight! Imogene’s mum, Kirsty, came to us asking for a photo shoot/ party for Imogene and two of her friends. You see it was their final year at school and they were all going to separate senior schools, so to have something to remind them of their friendship would be perfect.

Well what can we say about this one? Blossom is a cheeky little thing belonging to Sarah and Rachel, two sisters who are fast becoming our most popular clients, this I believe is the third shoot we have done for them now, but the first with Blossom. Armed with bags full of treats they turned up much to Wilf and Luie’’s delight thinking they had a new play mate to pester, We closed the door so they could get out and started shooting.

Second wedding of the week this one at Rushpool was Alan and Lucy’s at Rushpool Hall, Saltburn. Now to think that our studio used to be based in a country house not more than a few yards away from Rushpool, this is actually the first wedding we have covered at this venue. We have worked at Wynyard Hall, Crathrone, Hardwick, Ravenscar, Gisborough Hall, but never Rushpool.

Following little ambers shoot, one of Sarah’s friend booked us to do some child portraits of her little two – Hallie and Isaac. Hallie was a little tinker with her cheeky smile as was Isaac who kept crawling straight to the camera, which seemed to develop into a game. Both where fantastic kids and as studio photographers we feel privileged to work with such cute and cheeky kids

We have worked with both Sarah and her sister before whilst they where Bridesmaids at one of the weddings we were covering the photography of in Guisborough. Not forgetting Amber’s christening portraits. So when we moved our studio to Guisborough they where one of the first to follow us and book, I believe, three more shoots with us.

Sarah and Phil came to us on our first week wanting a shoot doing for their two young tikes. Of course this is our business so we where glad to help. We asked them to bring some props along with them on Saturday, we find it much more personal to ask our clients to bring their own props, it simply means that we can make the shot personal to them rather than us using props we have in our studio which might not fit the clients hobbies or interests.

Seems like all we are doing at the moment is weddings and associated things, Alan and Lucy’s wedding is in October so to have their pre-wedding shoot now is perfect, and after Lucy contacted us through Facebook it was arranged. Now Alan isn’t the shyest of people he’s up for a laugh and i believe their wedding at Rushpool Hall, will have most of the guests on Space Hoppers!

Its seems a lifetime since Sally and Kenny booked us for their wedding photography, yet it seems like only yesterday I did their pre-wedding shoot, that's because it was. You see they don't live in he area and have travelled up purely for their wedding which took place on Saturday afternoon. They chose this weekend because It was Sally's mums birthday who had passed away some time ago. So it was a very emotional weekend, and with temperatures soaring to the dizzy 28's and with it been Whitby Regatta weekend too..

A little different type of shoot for us today, you see been a studio and wedding photographer is fantastic, we get to meet and work with some fantastic people, pets and client in some wonderful places. But your work a photography is, I can't quite find the right word and don't want to use it but, dictated by your clients venues weather etc.

Ian and Francesca booked us to cover their wedding photography a while back now. But their big day is almost upon us, time seems to be flying this year. They arrived at the studio in fine fettle, they are both very easy going and funny to work with. Been paramedics they have to have a lighter view on life. Ian brought his son along to so we had even more fun with the shoot.

It was a privileged to cover John and Tamsin's wedding, They chose Lynesack Church set in the beautiful British countryside, and although the the true British weather was upon us the church still felt special, giving us plenty of opportunity to capture some really nice images. Made even more moving by the surprise piper to take Tamsin down the isle.

Rachel was a bridesmaid at a wedding we covered, so when her sister wanted some images of her little one in her Christening dress she knew exactly where to come. I never like to push little children too far and tend to work as hard as i can for the first half an hour and judge how they are reacting. Because no matter what is in front of the camera, a model, pet, child their welfare always come close.

George and Jacqueline booked us to cover their wedding photography last year, and it was our first time at St Marys Church, in Nunthorpe. We where certainly impressed, the Rev'd Stuart East was fantastic he gave perfect direction and made the service something to remember. The Church itself was a grand building in which there was almost perfect light even on such a misty damp day as yesterday.

We have seen an increase in Pet portraits or recent, they have always been a big part of our business. With both Kirsty and myself been animal lovers and dog people. We are always at home when taking pictures of pets. Sophie was no different, at 22 months old she had a lot of play in her. She had presence in the studio though;

Nick and Stacey came to see us what seems to be a while back to book us to cover their wedding photography. Strangely enough Kirsty actually went to school with Stacey so kinda knew her, which made things a little easier, its always great to have a connection with client. The images that are produced are so much more relaxed.

Its not often that we get asked to cover Baptisms. Its seems to be apart of the photography market that clients seem to miss. I think w have only covered three since we set up five years ago.
