Giraffes, Helta-Skelta and Big Wheel (Personal)

Living in Pembrokeshire has its perks! This week we took a trip to Folly Farm. A farm and zoo near Tenby. For me, the most exciting thing was seeing the Giraffes. What amazingly elegant, graceful, beautiful, yet weird looking creatures. Couldn't resist taking photos of them. It's not every day we see Giraffe in West Wales! Also had to snap away these photos of the big wheel and helta-skelta. You cant beat a bit of old school fairground entertainment!

Our new wedding publicity has arrived!

Our new wedding publicity has arrived! We have just received our new trifolds from Loxley. Owen has done a super design and we are so pleased with them. Looking forward to sending them out to those of you interested in using o&c Photography for your wedding.

A London wedding with a touch of Africa!

In October we had the pleasure of photographing the wedding of Russell and Ruth. This was a very special day with hints of both English culture and Nigerian flair. We really enjoyed the chance to take R&R away to do some posed shots. Russell certainly enjoyed the camera! Thanks guys and Congratulations x

Family shoot at Old Felixstowe (Portrait)

A sunny Suffolk day, Old Felixstowe, painted beach-huts and a truly wonderful family! We had a super time taking photos of the Ross family. Situated all over the UK, it was a great opportunity to take photos of the three generations of Ross's. Thanks for the fun and thanks for the chips too!

School brochure published

Owen had the privilege of working with Lydalls Nursery School, Didcot earlier in the year, shooting images for their new school brochure. It is a highly resourced and praised facility "promoting self motivated, independent learners". Thank you to Pear Tree Design for their support and encouragement in this shoot too.

Blessing St (Corporate)

All Nations Church, Cardiff are a very forward thinking, practical, outreach driven church based in the Heath/Roath end of the city. Mid-September they blessed the Whitchurch Rd with over 6000 bottles of water and hundreds of helium filled balloons. They asked o&C Photography to capture images of "Blessing St" that can be used in future promotion, outreach and website design. It was a truly stunning day, hot, sunny and full of fun as they blessed the area in which they live and worship. Thank you All Nations, we loved it!

Bespoke Carpentry (Corporate)

We were asked to take these photos in preparation for a new website. Neil Bathgate is a very skilled and creative carpenter working in Oxfordshire. His bespoke pieces are always of a very high standard and quality and to top it off, he is a totally awesome person, who always puts his all into his work. He is available for commisions and can be contacted at nbathgate@fastmail.fm , until his website is up and running. We will let you know when that happens :)

First magazine coverage

We got our first magazine coverage this month! The Four Shires Magazine (Oxon, Gloucestershire, Northants, Bucks and Warwickshire - Yes, we know that reads as five!) We got a double page spread with images from Witney (Oxon) wedding we shot with Rich and Charlotte in June. Here's hoping for more!

A change of life (Personal)

We have moved! Oh how our lives have changed, but wow, how lucky we are! We are now living in Pembrokeshire, West Wales. Our life involves, photos, walks on cliffs and beaches, seal watching, playing with friends and enjoying a very different pace of life. Although we are now living in Pembs, we are still happy to travel for work and have done much travelling since moving in August. Here is just a glimpse of our new life :)
