2008 Christmas card

We had the idea that we would make our
own Christmas card, after literally seconds
of thought we decided it would be fun to see
what we could do using "light Graffiti".
After making the house as dark as we could
we got a torch and some coloured filters and
had "quite a few" attempts at drawing a
Christmas tree...



All we needed now was a better background,
which was found at a local shopping centre.



Once we found a view point we liked the
rest was easy... ish!

It took a few attempts to get it right, and we managed to

get the above image and get back to the car just as security

arrived to check out the two dodgy people dressed in black

sneaking around the reindeers!

Ross & Gillians Wedding

We've been so busy for the last few months that updating
our blog sort of got put at the bottom of a long list of things
to do!! ooops! sorry.....Ross & Gillian did get their photos
on time though!

An early start, and we found Ross all ready to go and looking
very chilled out, the other side of town and the girls were
taking things a bit slower with champagne along the way.

After a lovely ceremony we went outside in the cold, but at

least there was no rain, a storm had disappeared leaving us
perfect light for the main shots. It was great to get Ross &
Gillian alone to capture the romance of the day, sorry if your
toes got cold Gillian!

You two looked great, we both really enjoyed the day
and can't decide which was our favourite part...
the fish & chips, the pub quiz, the sweet buffet
or the bacon and chip butties, Nice touch!

Ross & Gillian

Pre Wedding Shoot

I knew Ross back in my RAF days when we were both on

a skiing exped together in Austria. Imagine my suprise when

8 years later Mark ends up meeting Ross on a train and we

realise we have all settled in sunny Seaham!

Luckily Ross & Gillian love the outdoors and have all the

gear for keeping warm...which was fantastic as it was a

bitterly cold day when we did their pre wedding shoot!

They are a great couple, we had a fab time on the beach

and managed to get some really cool shots.

Mini Adventure to Alnmouth

Taking a break from portraits, we decided a

mini adventure was called for.....so off we went,

no where in mind, just let the camera guide us!

After a long drive and lots of rain we ended up

at the seaside, and despite the bad weather we

managed to get a few shots we were really happy

with, plus some fish & chips to round the day off!

Marina & Eden Pre Wedding Shoot

This was a great session and took place around

Seaham harbour and beach. It was a very cold

and windy day, but we cant wait to be back

on the beach photographing their wedding, which

should be a little bit warmer, as they are getting

married in Barbardos....that reminds me, must

have suncream in my camera bag!

Seaham & Roker Pier

We love photography and take every opertunity to take
great shots, so when we saw these waves we couldn't resist
getting the camera out, it was very cold and windy though!

Kerri & Lees Pre-wed Shoot

Kerri & Lees Pre Wedding shoot, photographed at County
Durham, it was a lovely session involving all the children in
the wedding party, we had loads of fun and just managed to
get finished before a big down pour, very lucky!
