Engagement shoots should most importantly be fun. And Julia and Tim’s pre-wedding shoot was certainly that! We loved hanging out with these two, and so excited to be shooting their wedding at The Green Cornwall in September :)

Tim & Debra’s Cornish Country Wedding at St Kea Church, Truro

admin — Fri, 27 Apr 2012 13:54:11 +0000

Tim and Debra contacted us last October after seeing a photo of Tim’s dad in our wedding gallery. :) We met over a cup of coffee and loved hearing about their wedding plans.

The wedding day was beautiful… The ceremony was held at St Kea Church in Truro, followed by the reception at Tremayne Village Hall. It was a proper Cornish wedding with lots of DIY – from invites to the decorations, designed by Debra and close family and friends. The lovely flowers were provided by Floral Cottage Designs.

Good times with sweet, beautiful people. I hope we managed to tell their story well enough. Tim & Deb, thanks for letting us be a part of your day.xx

Meet my younger son, Kizzy and his girlfriend, Jess. As a dad of two teenage boys, it’s great to be able to capture their transition into adulthood.

Last weekend we all headed to Padstow, and while testing a new lens snapped some great photos in the process! Isn’t young love grand?

Fashion Shoot in Cornwall

Apologies it’s taken me so long to update the blog – we’ve been so busy recently. Here are a couple of pics from a recent fashion shoot, which we also styled – more to follow soon. We shot Molly in an old warehouse using our newly acquired pocket wizards to control the flashes.

Thanks to Molly for braving the extremely cold weather and to Sharon Hawken for doing a great job with Molly’s hair!

Kate & Stuart’s Cornwall Country Wedding

admin — Sat, 07 Jan 2012 16:14:36 +0000

Kate and Stuart tied the knot at the beautiful Grampound with Creed Church near Truro, and the reception was held in a marquee at the family farm nearby. The views across the grounds were stunning with the rolling landscape stretching as far as the eye could see.

The little flower girls looked adorable in their white dresses… lots of smiley faces, despite the rainy weather. It was a proper Cornish wedding – a huge celebration with lots and lots of love! We had a blast photographing their day; also thank you to Kate & Stuart for organising some food to keep us going :)

Below are some of the photos we captured during the day. Enjoy…

Photoshoot with Molly

Here’s a few photos from a recent model portfolio shoot. Molly did great, considering she has never modelled before and is only 14 years old.

We kept it simple for this shoot, using a woodland location in Cornwall. Looking forward to photographing Molly again in the new year.

Paula & Darren’s Wedding in Plymouth, Devon

admin — Wed, 30 Nov 2011 16:20:03 +0000

Paula and Darren were married at Plymouth Registry Office and held their reception at Chloe’s Restaurant, situated at the heart of Plymouth. The restaurant provided a wonderful setting for a small, intimate occasion with Darren and Paula’s close family and friends. The evening entertainment provided by a pianist made for the perfect ambiance, and a great shot in film noir, Humphrey Bogart style, as envisioned by Paula and Darren when we first met earlier this year to discuss their wedding photography ideas. It was a true pleasure to have met them – wishing the lovely couple all the very best x

We received a lovely feedback from Paula & Darren after sending them their photos:

“I can envisage that our paths will cross again… at least I hope so because you have re-excited my interest in art. You were present at an intimate part of our lives and that was easy to do, having met you both beforehand and liking you as a couple was important to including you in our day, add to that; good blog, great price, priceless friendly approach – well done, the duo touch works and you’ve provide results that are TOP quality.

Additionally, You’ve been massively supportive of my requests and edits, at a fixed price and spoiling me with credit for my amateur creative skills. All I can say is that; you will always receive a positive endorsement, if we are asked about a photographer.

Thanks again for doing such a wonderful job of capturing our day. You have gone well beyond the ‘traditional’ wedding shots with a blend of casual, candid and some very artistic ideas capturing the essence of my imagination – a 20′s style wedding! ”.

Male Model Portfolio Shoot

Simon’s model agency needed up-to-date images for his portfolio. The only time we could do the shoot was midday, not the best light conditions, so we did them in open shade where possible, and/or using a reflector and off camera flash. Here are a few images from the shoot…
