Family portrait photography – Natasha and family

The Stirk Family

Family Portrait Photography

Last week I had the pleasure working with Natasha and her family.

Natasha wanted a selection of family portraits and also individual portraits of her three daughters.

We did some studio work as well as some natural light and tried to avoid the contrasty ‘venture look’ aiming for something a bit classier and timeless.

Natasha left with all the images taken on the day and chose her favourite ones to be put through photoshop.

You can find more family portrait photography on my main site, Chris Giles Photography

A good day was had by all

Initial nerves soon disappeared

There were lots of images to choose from

As well as a group shots we did individual portraits too

De Vere’s Venue – New Place Wickham (Southampton)

Front of house for New Place, Wickham

New Place , Southampton

Soon I’ll be making a post about Gill and Lees wedding at New Place in Wickham (Nr Southampton) but I wanted to give a short one on the venue itself in case you’re considering it.

The venue is clean and tidy and unlike a lot of large venues does’nt look manufactured.

The internal decor is very ornate, there are plenty of nooks and crannies to escape to and the service is beyond reproach.

Special mention must go to the gardens that even this October we well looked after and very very pretty for photographs.

Nice, clean and tidy furnishings scatter throughout

The grounds are also very ornate and good to walk around

London to Brighton Veteran Car Run 2010

A cold but clear day awaited those arriving

I love photographing weddings but combine this with the other areas of photography I do and my social life effectively stops.

Now that the wedding season is quietening down I can go out and indulge myself and recharge those batteries!

Lewes bonfire night on Friday was the start and now today the London to Brighton Veteran Car Run which takes place every year ending at Madeira drive on Brighton seafront.

Hundreds of cars built prior to 1905 were there, some under their own power, others……. being pushed.

The day was clear and crisp but much better than the terrible rain last year apparently (this was my first time there).

A nice day out if you get the time to go and see it!
