Melanie East Photography http://www.melanieeastphotography.co.uk/blog The business blog of Bristol wedding photographer and portrait photographer Melanie East Fri, 03 Sep 2010 19:47:09 +0000 en hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.0 I’m back! http://www.melanieeastphotography.co.uk/blog/2010/09/03/im-back-4/ http://www.melanieeastphotography.co.uk/blog/2010/09/03/im-back-4/#comments Fri, 03 Sep 2010 19:47:09 +0000 Melanie http://www.melanieeastphotography.co.uk/blog/?p=2876 I’m sorry for the lack of blog posts.  I was manically busy shooting and then went away to the Cayman Islands for our annual holiday.  And boy did I need that holiday!    We swam with stingrays, we snorkelled for starfish, we visited teeny Little Cayman and generally had a ball.   Not only that but we also did something very special that I will blog about later :)

But now I’m back with a vengeance – after landing back in the UK it was straight into shooting the lovely Natalie and Simon’s wedding at Priston Mill.     I have lots of editing to be done from previous weddings and shoots, and next up on the blog will be Emma-Louise and Antony’s wedding at Leigh Court.

Meanwhile, here’s a shot of my gorgeous Millie – sunset in the Cayman Islands…

Be sure to check back very soon!

So it’s catch up time …

A couple of weeks ago, I shot the wedding of Elizabeth and Oliver in Brockworth and afterwards at Tortworth Court. I had a beautiful couple, it was a beautiful day and a beautiful wedding :)

Here are a few of my favourite shots …

Detail …





I love this shot. Elizabeth is very close to her grandmother and this was her grandmother’s gift to her …

Final touches…

Watching and Waiting …

Gorgeous :)

Shot using the very little available natural light – this was one of the darkest Churches I have ever shot in – at 6000 ISO …

Be sure to check back soon for part II!

Chloe came to see me for her third shoot within her Baby’s First Year Package – and she has grown into the most delightful little girl!

She sure is pretty!

For great contemporary studio or lifestyle on location photography just drop me an email here and I’ll book you in for a shoot!

I’m really looking forward to meeting her new baby and to capturing some lovely shots of him or her!

Here are a couple of shots of Amy – I’m sure you’ll agree she looks amazing and beautiful :) I love maternity portraits, it is often something I wish I had thought of having done when I was expecting Amelia. I can’t think of anything lovelier than having photographic memories of when your child was growing inside you.

These would look incredible on art blocks in the nursery!

Amy, I look forward to seeing you in a few weeks with your newborn baby!
