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.

wedding season in full swing! with Stephen Armishaw photography of Beverley, Hull and East Yorkshire.

Sorry I hhaven’tbeen keeping up with my blog! I seem to keep up everyday with my business facebook page stephen armishaw photography but my Beverley portraiture studio work keeps me from the keyboard for far too long. A very pleasant situation to be in!

Just back from trip to Egypt creating new art work, photographing some hotels and playing a little golf! (somebodies got to do it!) Next trip is a week shooting landscapes up in Scotland, I think the weather may be more unpredictable…..

Wedding season is now in full swing and its great to see this year we will be working at some new venues as well as our old favourites. After over 1300 weddings all over the world, its always refreshing to enjoy a fresh location. We will of course be visiting our friends at the local well known venues such as Tickton Grange , Rowley Manor , Cave Castle ,  The Mill House , Lazaats ,The Hallmark , Mercure , Rise Hall , Hazelwood Hall , Burnby Hall , KP club , and Carlton Towers to name a few. We love weddings! Please have a read of my FAQ wedding section on this site as it will help you in your choice of your Beverley, Hull and East Yorkshire wedding photographer.

Only a few days left of our “sitting fee to charity” portraiture sittings, but will still be doing our amazing £10 full sittings through April and May. Model portfolios and topups are still only £45 and have a top MUA if needed. My modern, fully equipped top Beverley studio is close to Hull and easily reachable from all of East Yorkshire.

Please keep your eye ( and pop a like!) on my facebook page stephen armishaw photography as it updated everyday with images and further info. All the best and hope to see you soon!

 

wedding albums

wedding albums with stephen armishaw photography of beverley hull and east yorkshire

With our first wedding album of the year designed and winging its way to another very happy couple {number 1307 I believe!}, I thought I would post a reminder that we offer unlimited album images as part of our services. Do check if your photographer is charging to put extra images in your wedding album on top of the quoted amount. It can put a big extra on your bill!

We also have the highest quality wedding albums as part of our services. Once again, do check an album is included in your wedding package and if not, ask how much it will cost to have one. You may be surprised how costs can escalate from the initial quote.

We are still offering a free engagement sitting to all couples who havnt booked their photographer yet, giving you a chance to view the portfolios and albums of one of the areas foremost contemporary wedding photographers. If you have booked with us already, we offer a free signing board surround to display at your big day to be signed by your guests.

Please contact us for a individual quote for your wants and wishes for your wedding day!

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!

Do remember until the end of March, all the £10 sitting fees from our portraiture sittings will be going straight to the local RSPCA or a charity of your choice. There has never been a better time to book!

Charity portraits by stephen armishaw photography of Beverley, Hull and East Yorkshire

Until the end of March, we will be donating all of our £10 sitting fees (and £10 from our modelling/makeover fees) to our named charity the local RSPCA or a charity of your choice (as long as its not the charity of your purse or wallet!)

This is no gimmicks offer to let you help the charities and for you to get the family portrait you’ve always wanted. It can be used for the family, children or even the pet dog!

A delicate subject, but one of the things we hear most from clients is they often wish they had had a family shoot done before they they lost a loved one or pet. Its a difficult thing to bring up, but there has never been a better time than now, whilst also helping charities.

Our relaxing, warm and convenient portraiture studio is based in beautiful Beverley nr Hull.

Inspirational Photography

// Author: Stephen Armishaw // 0 Comments

As a top hull wedding and portrait photographer, inspirational photography was in abundance during my visit to London for 2 major exhibitions and a day out with top social photographer Syd Sheldon and his lovely wife Professor Carol Tulloch at the Chelsea Arts Club. An oasis of creativity!!

Syd is preparing to document survivors of the Bopol disaster and Carol is preparing to launch Her book ” The birth of cool”, a subject close to Her specialisation of Ethnic fashion. Watch this space!

Wildlife Photographer of the Year exhibition at the natural history museum yesterday and the Landscape photographer of the year exhibition today at the National Theatre finished a perfect 3 days away to recharge from a busy and inventive year of top wedding and portrait photography. Being a leader in my chosen field, its always great to meet with and compare thoughts with other experts in their photographic speciality.

Rest of the week meeting new wedding couples who got engaged over the Xmas period and sorting the portraiture studio for the busy year ahead! Please checkout my extensive portfolios for all of the top wedding locations in the area including tickton grange, rowley manor, cave castle, rise hall, lazaat, rudstone walk, mercure west and mercure hull, and skidby mill on my face book page stephen armishaw photography.

Pre wedding portraits

IMG_1256 2x

Every Beverley, Hull and East Yorkshire wedding photography booking I take, I always offer the couple a free pre wedding portrait shoot. This can be taken at you convenience at any time before your wedding and can be taken in my modern and warm Beverley portrait studio (close to Hull and all of the East riding towns) , in the garden studio (10 seconds away!) or out on location. This session gives us a great chance to get to know each other better and to help you to relax in front of the camera on your wedding day.

Many photographers will encourage the location idea as they are not adept in a studio or dont own one! I am totally flexible but remember the British weather does not respect your busy life style, so using a studio means no cancellations! I am not only restricted to weekends and evenings as many of our part timer snapping friends are (remember, they do have a full time job to do….).

Full studio sessions and model portfolios are available from £10. please check out my portraiture, modelling and wedding portfolios on this site.  01482 868065

Wedding questions to ask your photographer. No.2

// Author: Stephen Armishaw // 0 Comments

Part 2 of my series of questions you may want to ask your potential wedding photograper. All are in my opinion.

Number 2

After paying your deposit for your wedding photography (in my case only £250), ask when you have to pay the remaining balance. In my case , we only ask for the rest of the fee two weeks AFTER  your wedding day when you have had time to enjoy them and my service provided. I have the confidence to know you will be completely happy with my work as with over 1200 wedding couples before you!

What other service or product asks for the full money up front (sometimes up to 3 months before!) I believe this came from when we wedding  photographers had to pay for film, developing and preveiw album straight away (I remember it well!), but as you know, the vast majority of wedding and portrait photographers shoot digitally with no outlay. Getting your money back if you are not happy with the service your wedding (or portrait) photographer can be an expensive and heart breaking process.

22look out for Question 3!
