Mother & Baby - A Calm & Intimate Portrait

Whether still a bump or a tiny little baby, we can make sure that this magical time is captured & treasured before all too quickly the sleepness nights are forgotten & the moment has passed.

This sort of shoot is a very calm & intimate experience for the mother & bump/baby, but dads are positively encouraged to be involved if they wish.

We would recommend that this sort of shoot takes place in your home, especially for the very young babies.

To talk through how you would like this moment captured please call 0800 6126 407 or email us on info@dartmoorstudios.com for more details.

Images of the 2009 Albums - Exclusively designed by Dartmoor Studios

The new 2009 Albums are now online in the Albums Section of the main website with a range of sample pages also.

A large amount of time has been put in to creating these albums exclusively for Dartmoor Studios, each album is then designed from scratch to produce a completely unique product for each couple.

We do not use templates or lower cost third party designers - each album receives the utmost attention to detail & perfection.

Sadly the the images do not do them justice but we are sure when you feel the quality & weight of the albums you will agree.

To arrange a consultation to go through your Wedding Photography & take a look through the different album options please call 0800 6126 407 or email info@dartmoorstudios.com - we look forward to hearing from you.

Commerical Photography

The wait is over for the Commercial Photography Website to go live!

It has just been too busy recently to ensure that it has been finished correctly, however we must not complain as in these financial times whilst others are laying off staff we are needing to expand further.

Full functionality of the new site will be in place within the next week so feel free to get in touch now to satisfy your requirements on 0800 6126 407 or via info@dartmoorstudios.com

Giving Something Back...

Most of us like to give something back to the community and where we can, we certainly like to help with a charity shoot or event, however recently I was asked to train a group of scouts to a level of photography that they would be able to gain their Photographer Badge. That would be a challenge I thought, but would be fun to put on the Blog.

Having read the scope of learning the Scout Masters were certainly not giving the badge away and I set to work on a presentation to deliver the basic controls, types of cameras, composition etc. all the way up to controlling depth of field and creative shutter speeds... was quite a night!

The boys did fantastically well to take in all the info and I look forward to seeing the results of their project work when I go back to assess it in a couple of weeks time. Anyway good luck with the images lads.

Good To Meet You @ The China Fleet

Just wanted to say how nice it was to meet so many of you that braved the weather to the China Fleet Club yesterday for the Wedding Fair.

We hope you found it really useful and do not worry if you did not get the chance to speak to us as there is so much to try and take in on the day!

Have a look through all the stuff you collected and then get in touch when you have the time on 0800 6126 407 or give us an email to info@dartmoorstudios.com and we can call you.

We'll probably see you again in a few weeks at the Westcountry Wedding Show at Plymouth Pavilions on the 1st of March 2009!

Cornish Brides @ The China Fleet Club 8th February 2009

Urban Post Wedding Shoot on the Old Streets of Plymouth

While the rest of the country is covered in snow it was beautiful & sunny down here in Plymouth, so we got out in the street.

A Post Wedding Shoot does not need a specifically glamorous or extreme location, even though we do like to do those, it can take place in a simple urban location.

Mix one bride in a stunning Maggie Sottero dress, a creative photographer & old cobbled street - you have an interesting & unique version of this popular wedding option.

For more details on booking your Post Wedding Shoot please call 0800 6126 407 or email us.

Please bear in mind that you will need to be thinking a few months in advance as we are now fully booked on these shoots until at least April 2009.

Credit Crunch - Still go with a Pro at Your Wedding

We all have to make some very difficult decisions in the current financial climate, however deciding whether or not to use a professional photographer for your wedding is one that will surely be on your mind if you are currently planning your wedding.

Here is an extremely good article on the subject from a fellow professional photographer:

7 Reasons why you should go with a Pro

Definitely worth a read.

Bespoke & Tailor-Made Wedding Photography

A number of photographers advertise the fact that their service is tailor-made to each & every client so we decided to actually find out exactly how tailor-made the Dartmoor Studios Photography service is...

After some careful calculations it was determined that there were a little over 20,000,000 - yes that is twenty million different alternative outcomes available!

Now I would call that a tailor-made experience.

However that may sound complicated - it is not. We now have our own tailor-made software that will output an individual & unique quote for each couple in around 30 seconds!

Want to try it out? Call 0800 6126 407 or come & see us at the next available Wedding Fair - which is currently the Cornish Brides Event at the China Fleet Club on Sunday the 8th of February 2009.
