Cant believe its a month since I last blogged, but weddings, portraits and my commercial photography work keep getting in the way! Since our last chat, I have had the pleasure of capturing weddings at Sledmere House, Burton Mount, Cave Castle, Lazaats, Tickton Grange and Mercure Jarvis West. All with their own personalities you get to see after over 1300 weddings!
We managed a weeks trip to Spain to shoot 2 hotels for our commercial side and catch up on our landscape and art work (and grab a couple of rounds of golf!). An interesting two days in the studio shooting tables for Eurofit made for a change from our very popular family and model portraiture, which keeps us very busy as usual. Working through the landscape and artwork photography to put in our portfolios on this site, before our next trip, a return to Croatia. Go take a look!
Great Wedding show at a new and exciting venue called Oaklands nr Driffield last week. Lots lakes and woods with a lodge and tipis, wedding photography heaven!! Im already one of their recommended photographers , as I am with most good venues in the area. Looking forward to an upcoming wedding photography shoot there with my great mates Louise Shepherd MUA and top model Evie Moran.
Im looking to purchase a recent VW converted transporter van for use as a mobile changing room for our location model shoots and our landscape trips. Please contact us if you hear of one.
Still have another 30 weddings to cover this year at such diverse locations as Harewood House, Carlton Towers, the Hallmark Ferriby, and all the other local, and not so local favourites I know so well. Working at such beautiful churches as Beverley Minster, St Marys Beverley, York Minster and St James Sutton to name but a few makes My work an absolute pleasure.
Our Bump to Baby portrait sittings at my fully equipped modern Beverley studio has really taken off, with my origonal take on it proving very popular. The same with our model starter and pro model sessions and PR promo work.
Do remember to check out my FAQ wedding and portrait photography section on this website. It will give you some interesting and helpful questions you may want to ask your prospective photographer and offers some great advice from one of the North of Englands most experienced wedding photographer, (thats me by the way!).
August is our busiest month for our unique and contemporary wedding photography and with my Beverley studio busy with family portraits, model work and commercial shoots, it maybe another month before I get to blog again!! Hope to see you all soon.
Weddings and portraits with stephen armishaw photography of beverley, hull and east yorkshire
Just finished 8 beautiful weddings in 15 days! Interspersed with our normal fantastic £10 portrait sessions, we have had little sleep but a great and inspirational few weeks!! A great selection of venues including Sledmere House, Lazaats, Tickton Grange, Burton Lodge, Holiday Inn Marina, Hallmark hull and the Mercure west made every celebration a lovely day and evening, and with guest numbers from 4 to 200, variation was the name of the game. Great visit to the Fruit area of the old town for some really funky stuff with one of our more adventurous wedding couples, Angela and Ian! Please checkout my facebook page stephen armishaw photography for new images and updates from all current weddings and portraits everyday.
Another trip to Croatia taking images for my landscape and art sections on this site just booked, with a trip to the Canadian Rockies early next year in the final stages of planning. Do check those sections out on here under portfolios. Just checking out converted VW vans for getting out to more inaccessible areas and catching very early and evening light. It will also be perfect as a mobile changing room for our modelling location shoots!

Wedding photography updates in Hull by stephen armishaw photography of Beverley , Hull and the East Yorkshire
Just finished our first same sex wedding of the year with the lovely Neil and Imi at the lovely Cave Castle. Very emotional day and lots of beautiful reportage images capturing the intimacy of their special day. All wedding images were live within 2 days of the wedding, even faster than our normal super fast 4 days! Being a full time photographer and not having to fit work around another full time job (and using a full time graphic artist!) give me the ability to concentrate on getting great images to you quickly, (I know you cant wait!).
Looking forward to two lovely weddings tomorrow and Saturday with Sofia and Sam at the funky Lazaat and Katie and Mike at the lovely Hallmark Hull. I have created fantastic wedding photography at both of these top venues many, many times, but as usual will be looking to capture new and imaginative images as every wedding is different!
Nearly finished downloading our latest landscape and art images on to this site, (take a look at my fine art and landscape section). Big new developments coming soon on my landscape and fine art side of my business, keep your eye on here and watch facebook stephen armishaw photography for daily updates.
My modern custom built Beverley portrait studio is as busy as ever with our popular £10 full portraiture sessions leading the way. Clients love the relaxed, no obligation, no hard sell way we work which results in lots of referrals and rebookings. Im also a big believer in no gimmicks to get you through the door! As usual model portfolios and top ups are very popular and are from only £49 (free if we think you have a great look or idea for a shoot), check out my portfolios on purple ports. Bumps to baby sessions are always a lovely and relaxed session.
Aprils Update! Landscape and Fine Art print news by Stephen Armishaw photography
Just back from a fantastic week on the Scottish railways and the beautiful island of Skye shooting for my landscape and fine art galleries on this site, and the main picture libraries. Fantastic weather made the trip an even greater pleasure and meeting up with some great fellow artists including shooting a world known ceramics expert based up there (watch this space!). I am always updating my galleries and have placed a few images on my Landscape and Fine art sections already so please check them out.
Back at the fantastic Tickton Grange again this weekend using my contemporary and relaxed wedding photography style to capture another beautiful marriage. Love the diversity of locations for our wedding photography around this area from the grandeur of Oulton Hall and Ripley Castle to the Elegance of Tickton Grange, Rise Hall, Rowley Manor and Cave Castle. Having captured over 1300 weddings from all over the world, its still nice to stay local!!

Wedding fayre with stephen armishaw photography of beverley, hull and east yorkshire.
Two fabulous wedding fayres over the last weekend! Great to see old friends and new and one of our best weekends for booking lots of lovely new weddings.
Saturday was as a chosen wedding supplier with Florida Marquees of Driffield. Their marquees and contents are second to none and a great bunch of people to work with.
Sunday was at the Guildhall and traditionally one of the busiest wedding fayres we attend. Well it didnt let us down , with hundreds of wedding clients through the door and literally queuing to view our highest quality wedding albums and portfolios.
Please remember to book your wedding photographer as early as possible, as you will always be able to book one, but not always the one you want. We could have booked some wedding dates 10 times over!
