Product photography (set build)



We get asked to photograph all sorts of products - jewellery, figurines, electronic devices... and last week, fireplaces! These particular fireplaces were wall-mounted or freestanding and designed for modern homes where no traditional fireplace exists.

The shoot took a day to photograph 8 different units including set build, styling, lighting set up and photography. That's pretty intense and we're not just talking about the heat coming from the fireplaces!


If you think these look hot and you're tempted to buy one yourself, check out their new website http://www.candelainteriors.com

Wedding (Stan & Claire)




We were delighted to be asked to photograph Claire and Stan's special day over the August Bank Holiday. We all met up earlier in the year over a drink to talk through their wedding plans and their photographic requirements. We always like to do this face-to-face if we can as it gives everyone the opportunity to get to know each other a little better. We followed this up with a photographic guide which outlines everyone's contact details, the logistics, itinerary and a photographic checklist of the key shots they wanted us to take throughout the day. It's important to have these things buttoned down as you don't want any nasty surprises on the day!

Stan & Claire are a fantastic couple - so relaxed, fun and down-to-earth. We knew they would be naturals in front of the camera. Here's a very small collection from the day.
