Christmas Deadlines

Hi all - a quick note regarding my Christmas deadline!

Prints, frames and modern wall finishes usually take 3-4 weeks for me to turn around and for me to have ready for customer collection. In the run up to Christmas I can turn things around faster but my deadlines for guaranteed Christmas delivery are rapidly approaching!

All photography orders (wedding prints ordered online and any studio orders) must be paid in full and placed with me by Wednesday 9th December. Collection of orders from the Cambridge studio can be organised any time before Christmas Eve however!

I hope you all have an enjoyable festive period and look forward to seeing many of you in the studio in the New Year (possibly to collect those not so important orders)!

Kind regards,
Mike Thornton.

Photos Speak a Thousand Words!

In an attempt to update the Cambridge portrait photography website, a new portrait photograph of Mike was needed. We could have done it in a boring and simple way but we wanted the photograph to sum up the StillVision Photography studio and what we do best here.


Well, we think photographs speak a thousand words (I guess we would though given that we are professional photographers)....

P.S no babies were harmed in the making of this photograph!

StillVision Photography Ltd

With the continued profitable progress and growth of my Cambridge photography business, it has become advantageous to operate StillVision Photography as a limited company. From 28th September 2009 my new limited company, StillVision Photography Ltd has been operational, taking over the trade of the existing business. I can now call myself the director of StillVision Photography Ltd (which has a certain ring to it I must admit) and the photography business will continue to operate as it always has from the Cambridge portrait studio.

Thank you for your support as always!

Mike Thornton.
Director StillVision Photography Ltd.

The Wedding of Rob & Megan

Congratulations to Rob and Megan who were married in Royston on Saturday 3rd October 2009. Their wedding ceremony was held at the Methodist Church in Royston and their wedding reception was at Hinxton hall towards Saffron Walden. Hinxton Hall was a surprise to us as it was not a wedding venue we’d come across before. It’s an amazingly well renovated old house and a great wedding location. Today was our last wedding day of the year so we also had something to celebrate - the weather had different ideas however! It was a very windy day with variable cloud and sun moments but it didn't rain so that’s a third reason to celebrate. Our wedding photography highlights follow:

The Wedding of Malcolm & Alison

Congratulations to Malcolm and Alison whose wedding we photographed on Saturday 29th September 2009. We thoroughly enjoyed our second glorious, blue sky wedding in a row and the wedding locations really suited the wonderful weather. Our journey started in Cambridge as we headed out to Newmarket to photograph the bridal preparations. All was calm and to time (surprisingly so) and we headed back to Cambridge and to the Catholic Church on Hills Road in very good time. We met the guys and covered the ceremony as usual. The wedding reception was then at Ickworth House in Suffolk which is a really beautiful National Trust property and a fantastic location for a wedding. Although time was tight and the weather had got very hot and heavy during the formal groups we did manage to steal twenty minutes with the bride and groom and used the fabulous wedding location as best we could. We left the wedding party dancing to the Scissor Sisters at about 9:30pm! Our wedding photography highlights follow:

The Wedding Of Steve & Becky

We have been very lucky with our wedding weather this year (often shooting a wedding on a nice day between days of rain) but we have yet to cover one of those perfect summers days when there isn't a cloud in the sky this year... well we hadn't until the wedding of Steve & Becky! Their wedding day was absolutely perfect! It was hot, sunny and there was not a cloud in the sky. Steve & Becky were married on Saturday 12th September at the parish church in Comberton, Cambridge. Their wedding reception was held later on at Anstey Hall in Cambridge. Anstey Hall was the perfect wedding setting for such a gorgeous day even if it did get a bit too hot for some of the wedding guests who took shelter on the shady side of the house! The atmosphere was great as it always is on those lovely summer days and we left bride and groom to dance the night away at about 9:30pm. We're sure the wedding party went on for quite a few more hours! Our wedding photography highlights follow:
