Family Portrait Day – Stoke Hill Infant School, Exeter

Adrian — Sun, 08 Feb 2009 12:58:17 +0000

On Saturday i did a family Portrait Photoshoot at Stoke Hill Infant School in Exeter. Although exhausting i really I love doing these, seeing so many happy faces when they see their childrens photos appear on the Laptop during the shoot, and thats before i’ve done any magic in Photoshop! Despite the snow there was a really good turnout, here’s a few of my favs from the day.

Clyst Heath School Family Photoshoot

Following the sucess of last years family portrait photoshoot at Clyst Heath Primary school in Exeter we thought it would be rude not do it again this year. I’m pleased to say it’s proved equally popular this year, the turnout was fantastic and at the same time raising money for the school funds. Here’s a selection of photos from the day…

Facebook Photoshoot at Perranarworthal, Nr Truro, Cornwall.

This weekends photoshoot was held at Perranarworthal, between Falmouth & Truro in Cornwall, and was organised entirely on Facebook. The best was to describe it is a kind of speed dating phtoshoot. For a discounted price each family recieved 30 – 45 minutes of studio time. It was really nice to see a couple of my old school friends there from Helston & Mullion School with their families. A big thanks to everyone that attended, we had a great day and i hope to do another like this soon.

If you have a Facebook acount and would like to be informed when the next promotion shoot occurs please feel free to add me as a friend here – My Facebook Page.

Here’s a small selection from the day.

Charity Ball at Northcote Manor

Adrian — Mon, 13 Oct 2008 16:31:58 +0000

I was privileged to be asked to document a Ball in aid of the Teenage Cancer Trust on Saturday evening at the Northcote Manor. The Theme was Black & White, kinda like an Audrey Hepburn style.
The Teenage Cancer Trust is devoted to improving the lives of teenagers and young adults with cancer which, when you look into the statistics is more common than we think. The event was quickly sold out and raised £££’s not only from the ticket sales but also from the auctions of products and services kindly donated by local businesses. The party continued into the early hours with a live band.

I am exhausted but what a weekend. Rob & Sarah’s wedding on Sat followed by getting the wife & kids up at 3am this morning to drive up to Chichester for the prestigious annual event – Goodwood Festival of Speed. This is our 6th visit to Goodwood FOS in as many years. If your into your motorsport then you really have to go. It’s also celebrity packed as well to keep the wife’s happy Here’s a few of the highlights I’ve processed so far…

This guy on the bike was awesome and check out the construction behind. Those are actual Landrovers somehow secured up there!

Can you spot the biker from the above photo?
He actually rode through the house (he had a camera attached to his helmet) and out and up onto the roof! Crazy! but Awesome!

F1 Testing at Silverstone

admin — Wed, 25 Jun 2008 20:55:00 +0000

As a fan of motorsport, F1 in particular, i made the journey up to Silverstone today to watch the F1 cars and their drivers practice before the UK Grand Prix. I personally prefer attending the practice sessions over the actual Grand Prix as you have the freedom of the whole track and can move around for the best position. Still going through my photos but here’s a few of my favourites so far… one of these will soon be on my wall…. if the wife lets me .

Valentines Ball at Penventon Hotel, Redruth

This weekend i was down at the Penventon Hotel in Redruth, Cornwall attending a Valentines Ball in aid of Marie Curie. As there was loved up couples everywhere i though it best to bring the wife along, i was in her good books until she realised she would be helping me . I had a mini studio set up in the corner which proved a roaring sucess and also took random photos throughout the evening.

Oh yes, the drink was flowing well

Ooo, Pick me…me, me, me!

As one of Northcote Manor’s recommended wedding photographers i was thrilled to receive a call from the Manager Cheryl asking if i could photograph their rooms, some of which have recently been refurbished, for their upcoming new website and their 2008 Brochures. It’s a beautiful place and if you haven’t visited you really must. I hear they do fab cream tea’s . Here’s a sample of the shots taken.

I organised a family portrait day with my children’s school, Clyst Heath Primary in Exeter, for this weekend. I have to say by the end of it I was exhausted but I had a thoroughly enjoyable day. Got some great shots, some of which i pretty sure Santa will be delivering on Xmas morning. A big thank you has to be said to Karen Hadley (Head Teacher), Sue and all the other staff that helped make this a success.
Unfortunately I can’t show all the photo’s but here’s a preview……
