Diane & Heather's Engagement Photoshoot

At the weekend we met up with Diane & Heather, who are getting married early this June followed by a reception party with friends and loved ones. They're planning a wedding that centres around their guests having fun so they want me to capture their guests naturally on the day, with some gorgeous photos of them thrown in! We had a walk around local gardens for their engagement photoshoot and I hope they love the resulting images...

Natural Portrait Photography

John came for some photographs recently, and we spent a little time in one of my favourite locations, taking some very natural images. An outdoor photoshoot is the best solution if you don't want or need a full studio photoshoot, and the results are relaxed but polished. It was snowy, with the sun fairly low, which made for gorgeous lighting.

Mum-To-Be Photoshoot

Jo is 7 months pregnant and came to the studio last week for a pregnancy photoshoot. I'd had a vision before she came that we'd do something a little pre-Raphaelite in style, and as it turned out her naturally warm colouring and curly hair suited it perfectly. Susan at Pretty Flamingo was on hand to do Jo's gorgeous makeup. We changed clothing and lighting a few times to give some variety to the images. The softness in the photographs is really beautiful and serene, and I think she looks stunning.

If you love her images and would like to see others, please join Mirror Imaging's Facebook page and say hello.

2012 Wedding Industry Awards - In Your Words...

Another wonderful testimonial for The 2012 Wedding Industry Awards from one of my gorgeous brides; you can also read another one here or visit our Facebook page

When I first started looking for a wedding photographer I used Google and Sarah’s website was one of the first ones I looked at. I fell in love with her pictures and the fact she did Queensberry albums was a huge plus. From the very beginning Sarah like myself is very organised (I am a control freak and to me it was very important I had someone I could trust would be as organised as me - I met my match!). Not long after filling out a form on her website she called me and we had the first chat. I initially went with a bridesmaid and just instantly felt at home with Sarah. She is one of the nicest people you could meet. Her studio is such a calm beautiful setting where she showed me through different pictures she'd taken. I was sold! The meetings leading up to the wedding were brilliant she made us feel relaxed prior to the big day especially my husband-to-be who was very nervous. She was very organised and provided us with a running order for the day which was for me a brilliant touch as everyone knew exactly what was happening when and for someone as organised as I was with the wedding it was very important to me, it meant on the actual day I just relaxed.
The photographs of our wedding day are just amazing we were so very pleased with them. I remember first seeing a few on honeymoon and just being amazed that they were of us! Going to her studio and seeing them all put together as a story book was just amazing. They really told the story of the day perfectly.
What I believe makes the wedding pictures Sarah takes so much better than the vast majority of wedding photographers is that she really cares and she loves what she does and that she is a perfectionist – standing against the window on a little window seat to get the perfect shot! Her perfection is shown in the attention to detail that she puts into everything from the initial consultation through to the schedule through to creating the story of the wedding. Our wedding album is like a story book it tells the day perfectly, the attention to detail that is shown in our album is amazing. Everyone who has seen it has commented on how it’s a work of art! Not only is she a talented photographer she is also a wonderful person it was a joy having her photograph our wedding pictures.

2012 Wedding Industry Awards - In Your Words...

Following on from the series of my clients' wonderful comments in response to The Wedding Industry Awards, here's another gorgeous one! You can also read previous comments from last Tuesday and Wednesday.

I really can't praise Mirror Imaging enough. The images that Sarah captures are stunning and we are absolutely delighted with the memories we have to treasure of our day as a result. The images speak for themselves, but what they don't tell is the huge amount of effort Sarah and her assistant Susan put in before the wedding. They made us feel like our day was the most important in the world.
The engagement shoot was really fun and put us at ease for the big day. We weren't used to being in front of the camera so it was great to have a practice run. Their attention to detail in planning the timings of the day, getting to know us and what was important to capture on the day was amazing. They were an absolute pleasure to have around on the day and ensured we got the shots we wanted despite one of our other suppliers turning up late and putting us behind schedule. The mixture of formal and reportage shots was spot on and the moments and details captured are testament to Sarah's talent as a photographer. Sarah posted some of the photographs on her blog and Facebook very quickly after the wedding so were able to view them whilst on honeymoon and share the link with friends and family, which was lovely. She also made a full online gallery available to us and our guests upon our return.
After the wedding we met at the Mirror Imaging studio where Sarah ran a slide show of our images to music over a glass of wine and we chatted for ages about the wedding and our honeymoon. We recently collected the gorgeous Queensberry Album that Sarah had designed for us - again an art in itself. I would highly recommend Mirror Imaging to future bride and grooms.”
