Ten Pin Bowling, but with a difference...

Ten Pin Bowling in your wedding dress - might sound bizarre but that is the sort of thing that makes the photography of Ross Matthews stand out and is what the Post Wedding Shoot is all about.

The first image is the one that we were after to create a striking and eye catching image for the bride, the second shot is just for fun as given the chance who wouldn't lie down in the middle of a bowling lane and have a bride throw a bowling ball at them?

Do something different in your dress - give us a call or email to find out more about the Post Wedding Shoot.

Post Wedding Shoot @ Sharpitor on Dartmoor

It takes a brave bride to stand on a big rock in the middle of Dartmoor in a bracing (to say the least) March wind with nothing on but a wedding dress.

When it comes to a Post Wedding Shoot it can be as adventurous or as simple as you want, we personally quite like the more adventurous sorts of shoots and we have a number coming soon involving fire and a large amount of water so we can really Trash the Dress!

Whether its the artistic, the simple, the adventurous or the dangerous - if you are willing to get back in the dress then get in contact with us.

Getting Ink Done... Post Wedding Shoot

Getting ink done, but in your wedding dress...

The beauty of the Post Wedding Shoot is that there are some many different options for creativity open to you & the photographer.

If you are interested in getting back in your dress for one of these shoots then please get in contact, do not worry if you are not sure what sort of shoot you want as we have plenty of ideas!

Also please remember that these sort of shoots do not have to 'trash the dress' specifically & that they we have loan dress for you to use if you wish.

Its Wedding Photography, but different...

It's Spring - So time for a flurry of Pre Wedding Shoots

The Pre Wedding Shoot is a really nice chance to meet with your photographer & get to know each other.

You can do this sort of shoot in the studio, in your own home or now that the weather is improving get out to one of your favourite locations for some lovely images of just the two of you.

We can spend some time talking about each other as well as the sort of photography that you would like, take some photos & even do a bit of planning for the day - although best to leave this for a specific planning meeting but it does hurt to start sharing some ideas.

What you do with the images is up to you, we can do some prints, a variety of bespoke album options or these photos may find their way in to your final Wedding Album - the choice is ultimately yours.

Because we think that the Pre Wedding Shoot is an essential part of getting to know your photographer it is included for FREE with all our bookings.

Out To Sea - Again... Post Wedding Shoots & Trashing The Dress

These images captured that sunrise at Bigbury have become iconic with Dartmoor Studios having now been published 3 times so far this year alone & nominated for a number of awards.

Ross Matthews was one of the first to truly embrace how creative the Trash The Dress & Post Wedding Shoot could be & images like those above are now being recognised all over the country.

With a number more shoots booked in the next few months there will be even more images like this coming soon - if this is the sort of photo shoot you would like then please get in touch but do not leave it too long as the waiting list is growing...

To see more of Ross's TTD & PWS work from the last 6 months please go to www.dartmoorstudios.com & select the Post Wedding Shoots from the Wedding Photography. site.

Woodland Post Wedding Shoot - Wedding Dresses & Wellies

Simply walking in the woods can provide the perfect setting for some Post Wedding Images, throw in a pair of brightly wellies & a creative photographer then see what happens...

Whether your taste is classic or far more avant guard, the style of the shoot can be tailored to your requirements so why not dig out your wedding dress for another outing - it is a shame to just leave it in that cupboard or attic never to see the light of day again.

We have loads of ideas for shoots & welcome your ideas too, so feel free to give us a call or email to chat about your Post Wedding Shoot.
