A wintery venue visit - Eynsham Hall: Oxfordshire

We had the pleasure of visiting the very classy Eynsham Hall this weekend, where we met with some special people whose wedding we have the privilege to capture in April 2011. We were blown away by the truly stylish Grade II listed Jacobean building. It looked truly idyllic in the winter snow and frost. The interior was as stylish as the outside with its large staircases, open fires, library and decorative ceilings. Perfect for a wedding! We were also pleasantly surprised to find the uber-cool "award wining" bar, which in total contrast to the rest of the furniture and décor, was modern and so eye catching. We couldn't miss out on capturing some of the huge organic light shades, canary yellow sofas and the stripy wall paper, adorned with reindeer horns that really made such an impact. Looking forward to this wedding very much and being able to share more photos from this top-class venue x o&c

Truly Scrumptious! - PhotoSwap - Post#4 {Charis}

I think this blog title says it all. These guys are "truly scrumptious!". This is our final blog from the fantastic photo swap we were involved in in Bristol and what a great time we had with Shella and Derek. Shella is a truly talented photographer herself, running her own business Shell de Mar Photography. We swoon over her work regularly. With true style, flair and obvious deep love for each other, these two made taking photos easy and truly pleasurable work. I secretly had real pangs of jealousy for Shella's fur hat! Oh, take a look at Shells blog for her photos of us too!
We really hope you have enjoyed our images from the photo swap. It really was such a great time and although incredibly cold it was so enjoyable. Thanks to the lovely Rosie Parsons for organising the get-together and to the truly talented photographers (Juliet McKee, Dominique Bader, Antonina Mamzeko, Rosie Parsons) that came along to play and helped to make it such fun!
We would be more than happy and interested in doing Photoswaps in the future if anyone fancies it. Drop us a line, lets make plans!

Sun set shoot - Photo swap #3 {Owen}

Ok, so after a tasty pizza lunch at the PiantWorks we all jumped in the cars and raced off to the location for the second shoot. As before, we got into pairs and Ca and I got the awesome Del and Shella de Mar.

Shella is a rocking photographer and her images are as stylish and cool as she is. Her and her husband where a joy to be around all day and to get to shoot them together was amazing. We tried to squeeze in a few more shots before the winters sun set on what had already been a really fun day. As Ca and I shoot as a team, sometimes I take the chance to have a play with something a bit more weird. Knowing Ca would be getting great shots I grabbed my fish eye and had a go at shooting wide, very wide.

It was pretty cold by the time we stopped shooting but eeking out the last of the light was worth it, thanks guys.

Big thanks again to Rosie for sorting it all out and organising a great day out with fab people. Here are the photos of Jules and Shane from earlier in the day in case you missed them.

Train track Lovin'! - Photo Swap Part#2 {Charis}

Well, its time for some more photos of the truly gorgeous Jules of Sugar and Spice Photography and her lovely husband Shane. It was such an honour to take photos of these two. Its quite hard to believe that they are parents of four children. Uber-hot parents, I say! Jules looked so great in her sixties style attire. We loved the cherry and eyelashes!
While we modelled and took photos of Jules and Shane in the morning, after a lovely lunch at the Bocabar, we ventured over to Leigh Woods. Tomorrow please tune in to see our photographs of the super cute Shella and Derek. x o&c
