One to One #photography training

Last week I spent half a day with one of my previous brides teaching her to use her new camera that her husband had recently bought her.  We had a lovely time tea drinking and walking around Waterperry gardens, Oxfordshire discussing the various modes, dials and buttons that her camera offered with lots of beautiful pictures created along the way.

Sophie left the class much clearer about how to use her new Canon camera and hopefully she will be able to put what she learnt to good use on their little boy who will be putting her reactions to the test!

I offer one to one photography training classes during the week in the local area of South Oxfordshire for anyone who wants to learn how to make the most of their camera. Please email me for more details info@marklordphotography.com

Here’s a little ad I put together to promote this service locally….

Sir Charles Napier Pre-Wedding Shoot

Sometimes my couples have to travel a little further for their pre wedding shoot and last Saturday was no exception. Jonathan and Nicolette flew in from Hong Kong on the morning of our meeting and we met at the renowned restaurant Sir Charles Napier near Chinnor in Oxfordshire. The Charles Napier perches on top of the Chilterns and afforded me some fantastic rural backgrounds for the shoot. Little did I know but Jonathan and Nicolette had been planning their wardrobe for some time and bought new clothes for the shoot before leaving Hong Kong.

I love the contrast  between their bright clothing and the muted colours of the English countryside. Their wedding will take place at Wycombe Abbey where Nicolette studied later in the year with their reception taking place at the Mandarin Oriental in Knightsbridge.

It’s going to be fantastic!

Here are a few pictures from the colourful and fun shoot…..Oxfordshire Photography 3

Family portrait shoot on the farm…

I had the great pleasure of being asked to do some family portrait photography for the family who own and run the The Tythe Barn, Launton. Will’s parents are heading towards their golden wedding anniversary & the family thought it would be lovely to give them a photograph of the three brothers (who grew up on the farm) with their families on this special occasion. So, there we were with brothers, wives & assorted children & Burt the dog in the crisp winter air last Sunday. The Tythe Barn has lovely gardens & grounds & some fantastic architectural features that offer a photographer so many different options for weddings or a family shoot  and we were also able to put the hay bales in Will’s brothers farm to good use too!

It’s a beautiful baby boy…

Recently some wedding clients of ours got in touch to say that they were having a baby and would like some new born pictures of him to remember his early days by.

So a session was booked and I met up with them to photograph the new addition to the family. It was lovely to see them again as I had not seen them for a couple of years and it was a pleasure to be asked to photograph their baby boy. It was lovely session and I am thrilled with the results. The baby’s Mum knitted the wool nest and his Dad supplied the furs to provide some great backgrounds for him to lay on.

Special thank to my clients for allowing me to use these images on my blog and I look forward to seeing the 3 of them again in the future.

I wish to expand my new born baby portfolio and would love to hear from anyone who has a new born on the way or has had a baby very recently! Please contact me for more information if you would like a complimentary session.
