Wedding Photographer at Stanwell House Hotel in Lymington

Today was a wedding at the lovely Stanwell House Hotel in Lymington. I was doing the wedding photography for Kim and Neal from Southbourne nr Emsworth.

The ceremony took place in a large room that is usually a dining area and could be best described as a conservatory, owing to the fact that the entire roof is glazed. As it was a damp and overcast day, this was ideal as it made for attractive indoor and naturally lit images and the same benefit - both during the ceremony and for a while afterwards during some group photos.

The website of Stanwell House is here: www.stanwellhousehotel.co.uk and there were good photography options there & so I enjoyed working at this venue for my first time in my ten+ year career in wedding photography. The weather and season gave us some challenges on this day - but the venue has some attrative indoor locations for naturally lit images & ample space for indoor group photos too.   

Having photographed the ceremony and signing of the registers, we opted for some photos outside with the couple and then at various indoor locations, before the couple and their guests headed into the adjacent main reception room. The setting at Stanwell House was attractive, with an intimate and cosy atmosphere and all the guests seemed to have a fantastic day. The buffet was also pretty fantastic too!

Case history photographer for the legal profession

Today was  another interesting job as I was booked at the last minute to pop over to Botley Mill in Hampshire to photograph a local resident for a PR contact who writes case studies for firms of solicitors.  

Express Solicitors is a personal injury law firm, based in Manchester www.expresssolicitors.co.uk 

Case studies for the site are written to show that all their case studies are genuine, pictures of the clients are required to show that they are real people.

It was an interesting and fairly quick task and I met a couple of interesting people over in Botley Mill, Botley, Nr Southampton.

PR Photographer at Lloyds Pharmacy in Emsworth, Hampshire

Today was an interesting job for me and on my doorstep - I was the PR photographer who was asked to capture some images at the opening ceremony at Lloyds Pharmacy in Emsworth.

The press release will give you some more info about this event and my role:

NEW APPROACH TO COMMUNITY PHARMACY LAUNCHES IN EMSWORTH

Led by pharmacist, Angela Burton, the team at LloydsPharmacy, Emsworth, officially opened a new concept in pharmacy on 24 October.

The Emsworth team is one of the first in the UK to offer LloydsPharmacy’s new approach to community health which has been developed to improve access to healthcare information and support.

The ribbon was cut by Mrs Onslow, a long-standing customer at the pharmacy, who recently celebrated her 102^nd birthday.

As part of the transformation, the pharmacy now offers free, enhanced services for a range of conditions including skin health and pain management.

The pharmacy’s new skin offering covers all aspects of skin health from medicines management advice for people on prescription treatment to medicated skin products.

Angela said: “We are delighted to be one of the pioneers in a project that will do much to raise awareness of healthcare needs at a local level.

“With skin conditions, a change in treatment and application techniques can make all the difference, which is why we have developed our skin advice service. With effective management, symptoms can be reduced and those with the condition can start to take back control of their life.”

Pain management is another area where the Emsworth pharmacy team now offers enhanced support. The LloydsPharmacy pain control service has been found to improve 46 percent of people’s pain after just four weeks of taking the pharmacist’s advice.

“We know many who suffer from long-term health conditions don’t always want to go to their doctor every time they have a question,” Angela continued.

“What we are doing is providing services that complement GPs and other healthcare professionals by offering convenient, one-to-one support in pleasant, modern surroundings.”

The team members at LloydsPharmacy Emsworth are dedicated and experienced in supporting local residents’ healthcare needs. Many have worked with LloydsPharmacy for a number of years. Angela Burton has been at LloydsPharmacy in Emsworth for six years’ experience, Alicia Cranston, four and Ruth Fisher, Alison Honeyset and Maureen Tucker have all been with the pharmacy for two years. 

To find out more about the advice and support available at LloydsPharmacy please visit 2 Central Buildings, West Street, Emsworth, PO10 7DU and speak to a member of the pharmacy team or visit www.skinwithoutcompromise.com

Wedding Photographer at HMS Warrior in Portsmouth

Today was a Hampshire wedding at HMS Warrior in the Historic Dockyard in Portsmouth. I was doing the wedding photography for Kate and James.

James and a number of the men arrived in period dress as you can see from my photos, making for an entertaining day of photography for me! Kate and James were great FUN to work with, as you can probably tell just from this small selection of images from their day.

The ceremony was great to photograph and was on the Half Deck. The mood and atmosphere at this venue is fantastic and with around 65 people present. We were lucky to get good weather conditions (it was bright and sunny!) - for some great opportunities for photos around the ship.

Having photographed the ceremony and signing of the registers, we opted for some photos on deck and at various locations, before the couple and their guests were called to dinner and headed below for a great meal, provided by the staff of County Caterers. You can view their website here, or via the link to them from my own website links page: www.countycaterers.co.uk

The website of HMS Warrior is here: www.hmswarrior.org and I always enjoy working with the staff here and particularly Erin, Julie and Siobhan who coordinate their events and weddings.
