Miskin Manor for a March Wedding and Much Movie Madness

martin — Thu, 02 Feb 2012 19:08:12 +0000

Nicole and Steve popped down from Selly Oak in the Midlands to finalise their wedding plans for their Miskin Manor wedding at the beginning of March. We took the opportunity of spending some quality time with them at Southerndown Beach for a fun pre-wedding photoshoot. We did have to circle round the filming of the next series of ‘Upstairs Downstairs’ (I still can’t believe how many trucks and people it takes to film a few short scenes, check out the endless crew list at the end of any film or TV show!). Well, we managed very nicely with the three of us and have some lovely results to take along to the wedding for their guests to sign with messages of love and joy.

Great News for Emily and Chris, a Christmas Bump!!

martin — Fri, 16 Dec 2011 17:18:38 +0000

One of our favourite weddings was Emily and Chris’ beautiful ceremony in Spain, it was a real life Mamma Mia wedding (except Emily knows who her father is!) and we are so delighted that they are soon going to become parents.

It’s always extra special when we welcome our brides and grooms back to the Studio to continue their story. We absolutely love these maternity photos of Emily, Chris and ‘The Bump’. Of course with Chris Seage in the picture there had to be a surf board in there too. Who knows this could be a surf champ of the future!

Busy Times at the Studio

Brownie points for Ian – his wife had mentioned how much she would love a picture of her children, so with some careful planning he arranged for the family to attend a secret photo shoot and we were able to produce a fabulous framed photograph for her Birthday gift.

What does every Gran cherish? When Mum had a special birthday coming up Helen and Michael knew just what to get her, a photograph of her grandson Tomos.

A Very Special Golden Wedding Photograph After the family party the happy couple were given the gift of a formal portrait to celebrate their special anniversary by their family. Everyone enjoyed their visit to the studio last week for the photograph and then stayed on to watch Alicia have a photoshoot in her ballet outfits.

Christmas is Coming Up Fast!

We all love this time of year and its great to see lots of our Jolly little people coming to the Studio dressed ready for Santa. Esther came back in full Santa suit and she had a little helper – her new little brother aptly named Joseph – to help her this year. Mum Nicola thought this picture was just right for her Christmas cards.

Arun also had his photo taken with us in his Santa suit when he was just a baby and look at him now!

Thanks to our Cherubs Club, they have both benefitted from regular visits and a selection of wonderful pictures over their early months of life. Three fantastic photoshoots and priceless pictures for just £30!
