Wedding photographer at Marwell Zoo.

Today I was at a Friday wedding at one of my favourite locations in Hampshire – Marwell Hall (Wildlife Park and Hall) in Colden Common near Winchester, for the first time this year. I was doing the wedding photography for Amy and Mike & they were fabulous to work with.
After some preliminary photos at arrival times (Zoo train!!)………….. The ceremony was fantastic to photograph at the Hall.
We were lucky to get great weather throughout the day for photos around the Zoo.
Having photographed the ceremony and signing of the registers, we completed some obligatory family and friend group photos, before the couple, myself and a member of staff headed off to visit the Black and white tailed Lemurs for some photos. 

The website of the Wildlife Park is here: www.marwell.org.uk I was assisted throughout the day by Becky who was fab and can be contacted via email: events@marwell.org.uk tel: 01962 777 966 or 936 and is part of the Functions team. These details are to be found on the Weddings and Events section of their website.
The images will be available for viewing for Amy and Mike and their families very soon. There are a few images shown here. Hopefully a few that will give you an insight into my photography & the experience of a wedding at Marwell Zoo.

Marwell Wildlife 10K and Fun Run, near Winchester

Today I attended the Marwell 10K running race and Fun Run, hosted by Marwell Wildlife and Hedge End Running Club.

Despite a few difficulties last year over the photography, I returned and was the official photographer for the event on 12 May 2013 for around the 8th year running. It was their annual 10K ‘road’ running race and Fun Run. The members and volunteers from Hedge End and previously Eastleigh running clubs, did a fantastic job at this race again and the atmosphere is friendly and family orientated. I was pleased to be well supported by the organisers again for their 2013 event who have promoted my presence on the Marwell website and race pack.

We had cool, overcast and windy conditions and I managed to capture a good selection of images around the course and near to the finish area. I photographed mainly at around 200m before the finish area and was able to capture images of the vast majority of runners as they sprinted into the Wildlife Park and towards the welcome finish line.

The location for this 10K and childrens fun run is truly unique. The event is supported by the staff at the Wildlife Park, a number of whom were running in the event. You can view their website here: http://www.marwell.org.uk/ The money raised from the event for the Wildlife Park (many of the runners raise sponsorship monies for it) will go towards Marwell’s ongoing work to conserve endangered species and habitats, both locally and internationally, and to care for and feed the animals in the park. So it is also a race with a great cause – Plus: it’s a great day out for kids and adults too.

You can view all the images of this and other such recent events at my website: www.martinlewis.biz where I host my events and other (mainly wedding) photography. A couple of images are shown here just to illustrate my role on the day.

The images are made available for viewing and sale to the runners, typically the same day of each sports event I cover. If you look at the sports events pages of my main website you can see the types of events (typically equestrian events of all types and some running) I usually cover.

Marwell Wildlife Park 10K Run and Fun Run - official photography.

Today I attended the Marwell 10K running race and Fun Run, hosted by Eastleigh Running Club. You can view their main website here: http://www.eastleighrunningclub.org.uk/ There is a link on their home page through to the Marwell 10K. I was the official photographer for the event on 22nd May 2011 for around the 6th year running. It was their annual 10K ‘road’ running race and Fun Run. The event website is here: www.eastleighrunningclub.org.uk/marwell.htm and you can see a ‘Race Review’ if you are interested. The members and volunteers from Eastleigh running club, lead by Deb Tyler, do a fantastic job at this race, in my view.
We had mild, overcast and windy conditions and I managed to capture a good selection of images around the course and near to the finish area.
I photographed at around 1K and also about 400m before the finish area and was able to capture images of the vast majority of runners as they sprinted down the hill into the Wildlife Park.
The location for this 10K and childrens fun run is truly unique. The event is supported by the staff at the Wildlife Park, a number of whom were running in the event. You can view their website here: http://www.marwell.org.uk/
Now in its 12th year, the money raised from the event for the Wildlife Park (many of the runners raise sponsorship monies for it) will go towards Marwell’s ongoing work to conserve endangered species and habitats, both locally and internationally, and to care for and feed the animals in the park. So it is also a race with a great cause & both myself and my family are annual members – it’s a great day out for kids and adults too.
You can view all (1400+!!) images of this and other such recent events at my website: www.martinlewis.biz where I host my events and other (mainly wedding) photography. A couple are shown here just to illustrate my role on the day.
The images are now available for viewing and sale to the runners, typically the same day of each sports event I cover.

Wedding photography at Marwell Hotel near Winchester.

Today was a commercial job. I was doing some more disco and first dance photography for a local DJ – DJ Joe Smith who I met at The Brookfield Hotel Wedding Fair in the summer. The location Joe chose for this third photo session was a ‘real wedding’ at The Marwell Hotel (not Zoological Park or Marwell Hall where I frequently photograph weddings – or their 10K running race, where I attend as official photographer each year) to give him some variety of shots, primarily for use on his website.

The Marwell Hotel website can be found here: http://www.marwellhotel.co.uk/

The website for DJ Joe Smith is here: http://www.djjoe.co.uk/ Joe is local to me and based in Havant and so why not check him out if you are looking for a DJ for your wedding or other special occasion?

These images will be available for viewing for DJ Joe Smith very soon and for use in his PR, website, publications, and other materials.

If you should be considering using a professional photographer for publicity, PR, website, headshots, pack shots, staff in situ (action / story telling) photos – please feel free get in touch for a no obligation / no hard sell - discussion. I am offering some very good rates for imminent bookings, subject to my availability, I look forward to helping YOU too.
