Dancer's Portfolio

We had a slightly unusual portrait session last week with 15 year old Chloe. She is applying for dance colleges at the moment and needs some photos to make an impact so came along for something more like a portfolio session! We certainly enjoyed it and got some cracking photos that are pretty good for our own portfolio come to think of it (even if some of her dance positions make us cringe a little bit - rather her than us)! Our photo highlights are below:

The Wedding of Daren & Bex

We attended a different sort of wedding this Saturday 6th September to celebrate the marriage of Daren & Bex. They had a very small wedding in a lovely village church near Huntingdon and gave us plenty of time to mess around with bride and groom ideas which is a rare treat for wedding photographers! The weather was hit and miss (a bit like the rest of the last 6 weeks) but we really enjoyed the afternoon and it was all over too fast! A number of Daren & Bex's wedding images will surely be on view in the wedding galleries of www.stillvision.co.uk/weddings very soon!

Stuart and JC's pre wedding session

As we enter September the wet weather problem is still with us! Stuart and JC's pre-wedding photography session along the river in Bedford had a little more than just a little problem however - within 20 minutes of starting we were in the middle of a thunder storm and then it went dark! It was raining for every photo but Stuart and JC did such a good job of pretending to be in their 'happy place' that we got some nice shots. We also got to know each other better over a coffee and that's one of the main reasons for doing pre-wedding sessions. We are now really looking forward to their wedding on September 21st.

August at StillVision

Well it's official - the dullest August on record (and don't we know it)! August was another full on wedding month and it rained at every single one! The weather never dampened the wedding spirit however (even if it did dampen our equipment) and all of our August weddings were a pleasure to cover. August also saw us photograph the usual handful of cute babies but the weddings took priority as they should. We did however have the pleasure of meeting Chloe for a slightly unusual photography session in the StillVision studio towards the end of the month. Chloe is a 15 year old dancer in need of a dancer’s portfolio and we really enjoyed her session. Expect a number of her pictures to make a blog entry once she has seen the images herself! With Chloe’s session fresh in mind we are really looking forward to picking up the number of studio sessions this month as we have fewer wedding commitments in September (and the equipment has finally dried out). If you are looking for a baby, child or family photography session in the run up to Christmas then please get in touch on (01223) 711508. We are starting to book up so act fast!

The Wedding of Chiji & Fiona

Congratulations to Chiji and Fiona who were married on Friday 22 August in Kings Lynn. Their wedding day was very quite unique as Chiji is Nigerian and his whole family were present and dressed in traditional Nigerian wedding outfits. He also seemed to invite the entire Nigerian paparazzi who were all over the wedding ceremony like locusts which made us laugh (as one of the pictures below shows)! The weather was really mixed and not really on our side but Chiji and Fiona had decided on a reception at the town hall which is an indoor wedding venue. The family photographs did require everyone to brave the wet and cold (that's an exaggeration but the Nigerian's present wouldn't disagree)! Our photo highlights are below:

The Wedding of Milos and Helen

Congratulations to Milos and Helen who were married in Waterbeach on Saturday 16th August. Their wedding was a nice size with a lovely atmosphere and there were wedding guests from all over Europe! The weather had promised us rain but we saw nothing of the sort and in fact the sun even shone so that was great! Our photo highlights are below:

Hard At Work

The 2008 wedding season is starting to calm down. It's not drawing to a close just yet but we're managing to finally catch our breath! Thanks to Matt & Jo who were married at Queens Colelge in July for forwarding these shots of Mike in action... no wonder he's so exhausted ;)
