About

Me... I'm Grahame... and here's a wee bit about me seeing as you asked :)

I've been taking photos as long as I can remember, "borrowing" my dad's 110 & 126 cameras and shooting whatever film was left on them, then waiting weeks... sometimes months for him to get them developed & printed and see what I had captured... sometimes not even remembering what I set out to photograph in the first place.

But the bug was there... I was the one through school taking photos of the local bands , just in case any of them made it big... and they didn't, in fact the band I play in sometimes myself has had probably the greatest success :/ and that's not much. Even as we left school and went through that phase of being party animals, I'd always have a camera , and have books of photos from holidays, parties and wild nights out... most of which are censored and locked away.

In the early 1990's, Allison (my girl who I married in 1990 and who is a crucial part in our story yet) moved away from stills photography and ventured into Wedding Videos for a few years. It seemed a logical step, but soon got bored of the lack of input and control - and back in those analogue days editing was very hard... so we soon gave all that up.

Photography soon crept back into my life and then with added enthusiasm & energy here we are today loving every second of it... from meeting new couples for the first time - being as excited as them about their wedding - through to shooting the big day and developing a long term friendship with all our clients.

I don't turn up at a wedding like someone turns up for their work. Each wedding we do - and portrait session for that matter - is a unique day to do something wonderful & different with amazing people.
Our wedding contracts don't state that at 8pm I'll pack up and go... if there are photo opportunities to be had, and the people around are happy with it... I'll keep on shooting... why wouldn't I if I enjoy doing it so much.

I'm always available to call or email. I can be reached on the studio mobile on 07976 802944, or our shop daytime number of 01368 864500. Chances are if you email me at anytime you'll get a reply fairly soon afterwards... quite often I'll be up in the wee hours... working away on somebody's portfolio :)






The trouble with being the photographer, is you never have any photos of yourself...
Here's me in the 80's at some band practise... a photo I took during a class at school, as you can see we were all well behaved... at a wedding pondering some shots with the bride... and a self portrait in a mirror... something odd about doing that to get a photo of yourself though :)
