We don’t often post images from the Studio - but this week we’ve decided to show a few images from one of this weeks session.

Shona, (freelance make-up artist) was looking to add some new images to her portfolio.

Last minute adjustments to the hair.

Straightening irons can be lethal in the wrong hands !

Studio floor gets trashed !

Finished artical aiming for the Bebe / sixties look.

Then something completely different!

All in all a good fun shoot and the photos are great !

(PS Shona skillfully managed to avoid having her photograph taken throughout the session - but here’s one of her in action from a prevoius job)

This weekend, Mark and Gareth photographed Lee & Steph wedding, a Civil Ceremony at Horsham registary office followed by the reception at the Regency Hotel.

The registars were really helpful allowing us to photograph the important parts of the Ceremony.

The happy couple - congratulations to Lee & Steph.

The gig this saturday evening was the Hamsters, who played thier Hendix/ZZ Top, set live at the Boom Boom Club.

Slim was back on form again !

His voice had recover from his recent Op

Working the feedback !

The Hamsters are simply one of the best live R ‘n’ B bands around and well worth seeing if you get the opportunity.

Rachael and David got married on the 12th August 2006, a civil service at the Woodlands Park Hotel,Surrey.

The threatened rain held all afternoon allowing Rachael,David and thier guests to enjoy the day in the grounds of the hotel.

Congratilations to the new Mr & Mrs McAuley !

They were very clear in what they wanted from their photographs -very informal and relaxed.

Pretty much all of the pictures taken were natural shots,

with Mark and Gareth just recording events as they unfolded

Yet again another great wedding party and a glorious sunny day !

Race pictures can be seen on the main site in the next few days - but for a change we’ve posted some behind the scene shots from around the paddock and pit area from the weekend which gives an insight to the race weekend.

Apologies to the ladies, but the paddock and pit lane is full of paddock girls promoting the various teams and sponsors products. In this instance Corona one of the main sponsors.

Well one us had been photographing all day !

You have to keep your wits about you as there are numerous scooters whizzing around the place taking the riders and mechanics to the pit lane.

For the weekend the paddock is transformed into a huge tent village where the teams and riders entertain thier sponsors and meet and greet some of the fans.

Troy Bayliss has a”team” photo with VIP guests at the Xerox Ducati suite.

There are a few opportunities throughout the race weekend when the fans can meet the riders - but it’s quite busy !

Fans waiting in anticipation of the Ducati team

7 times World Champion Carl Fogarty and team manager Foggy Petronas Racing. Mark clearly wins the “Bad Hair” competition !

Mark has a qucik chat with current Championship leader Troy Bayliss.

Two of the nice guys on the circuit - Troy Bayliss & James Toseland (below).

Former WBSK champion Britians James Toseland whose currently lying third in this years championship and is hoping to make the move to Moto GP next season.

After the race celebrations

and the poduim celebrations seen on TV (champagne spraying etc)

the riders are then whisked off to a series of after race press conferences

Where the sponsors product get national and international airing - Troy sporting his new “Superman” leathers to co-incide with the launch of the movie.

That’s just a brief incite into “Paddock Life” at a World Superbike meeting - there’s a lot more to it than just riding round in circles !!

As you can imagine, the celebrations continued on into the late evening, with many bottles of Australias’ finest red being consumed - making it a very slow start on Monday.

I guess that’s one date we can book Graham out of the diary as “not available”

Wonder if he knows any decent wedding photographers !

Many congratulations to Graham and Sema.

Graham pops the question

Sema accepts

The happy couple

Oh I forgot to mention it was a themed barbe - we normally don’t go out in public dressed like this LOL

Mark and Winnette had a civil ceremony at the Richmond Park Hotel,Richmond,Surrey last friday.

Mark with his two bestmen

First kiss as a married couple

Best wishes and good luck to both of you !
