Light Blue for Schools

As you go on, you find yourself reflected in your achievements, in others perceptions and even in dark corners. If you put anything at all into your work, it will shine back at you.

Classic Brown for portraits. Spontaneous moments are where we excel.

The questions are: Is it what you thought it would be? Is it enough? Is it what you want? We have had a wee bit of that and decided to clarify the answers and build a plan for the Wild Highlander. Articulate the things we care about and the way we care about them – then it is true for us and will be true for everyone.

One of my favourite images I have taken - to date.

Greater clarity would not have made for a better moment. Genuine feeling is a must in our style.

Wild Highlander is about people. It always has been about people. Through all the diversity of images on our site, 90% of them are of people. It is not that we love people, ( although we probably do), it is that we love what people are – fascinating, evolving buckets full of surprises and stories.

We try to make people look like they are and like they are perceived. If we can do that then – job done!

What you do not see is often more important that what you do. The mind fills in the blanks.

Even our Commercial work, like this chocolate advert, is driven to catch moments

Isn't this how every boy is seen by his mum!

There is consistency in our style but not cloning. We do not shake the face of one client into the frame of the last picture. But we do shoot in a similar style consistently and largely unwittingly. s our only reason for taking photographs at all.We have incorporated some legacy images not shown here before to introduce the brand diversity before we update you on many stories that we simply ran out of time to discuss last year.

This image shortlisted this client into the New York finals of the Ralph Lauren Modelling competition.

It is this creative freedom that sits at the essence of what we do – we have discovered. And it is this freedom that we will continue to place at the centre of our world. In creating our new look we have tried to release that looseness of style. A style that we had straight-jacketed in a fine edwardian script and the monochromatic elegance of our look to date.

Trying to make the brand reflect where we wanted to be rather than who we are.

Sometimes you find you have taken a picture that comes into your "I wish I'd taken that" category - and be thrilled you did. Found, not Posed.

Just light from a stairwell window. Nothing special but the day itself!

That closet is now trashed and we stand basking in natural light. The branding you see in the previous blog post and you will now see tranforming all of our communications and activities is designed to reflect that loose creative freedom that is our only reason for taking photographs at all.

I am proud if this image. It tells the esact story I was looking to achieve.

Don't know how this got so right but studio madness takes over sometimes

The Godfather. Looking hale and chipper but muttering ...'get on with it'

Pretty as a Bridesmaid

A truly happy moment

Tradition

The Mandarin Oriental looked perfect

The Centrepieces were Divine

All on a Midsummer's Eve

Ardour a Deux

Huge thanks to the guys at the Mandarin Oriental. They were the most great people to work with. As photographers we expect little but they welcomed us into their team and considered us in the process of the day. This is such great customer service. NOT about us but about making sure that their customer – the bride – gets the best pictures she can get by helping the photographer. It makes sense because the only memories of the Mandarin Oriental Hyde Park are great ones.

All you need is Love

We remain firmly on the outside of any form of political judgement, social comment or ’sympathetic’ pigeon-holing. We are human, we have a sense of humour, we value kindness and we share the joy. there is not much more to say other than – Come and talk to us about your celebrations either now on 01483 423209 or at the Gay Wedding Show in Brighton on the 15th of November.

In my humble opinion, this is, allegedy, the best quality wedding photography that you can get at this price anywhere in the world.

To support the gossip and feverish whispering that this extraordinary offer will create, we have taken an advert in WOW Weddings Forever Magazine. The magazine is exclusive to John Lewis, Peter Jones, WOW Wedding shows and all Registry Offices and in Supermarkets, Forever Magazine brings brides up to date immediately with everything that takes the stress from the big day. We are so well placed to save Bride’s money without them compromising on standards. You can go for it or you can have great pictures now on a disc and have an album made when you can affordthe perfect one for you. We believe, that by giving you this flexibility, you can have your cake and eat it!

The challenge is to create great pictures by rote - I said it was a challenge!

We have put a huge effort on behalf of all the parents in the land – and in Surrey in particular There are three things that every school needs:

1. School Photography of pupils that pleases Parents

2. School Photography that creates a valid archive  – so that when you want that picture of an important occasion – you have it available.

3. School prospectus pictures to maximise on the benefits and good feeling that sells the school to prospective parents.

We are your very very best partners for all of these. We have wonderful schools photography that will make your parents thrilled.

Finding Natural Poses for Siblings that anyone can recreate took us a little bit of time but we are proud of the result.

We have simple and cost effective contracts available so that we can be there as and when you need us without constantly looking at your bursar to see if you can afford any more.

We have been swamped with voices of approval for our single pose shots by eager parents.

We are working with some of the best schools in Surrey to create their prospectus for today and building with others for tomorrow.

Read all the education an schools elements of our website to understand how good we are for you.  You really are missing a trick if you do not invite us in for a chat.
