All Yours Photography

Charlecote Park Orchard

Phil & Rachel — Mon, 10 Oct 2011 20:44:15 +0000

The nice people at Charlecote asked us to photograph their apple orchard, which they intend to renovate. We have a big mast for this, so we could get right up into the trees — see what you think:

Another lovely testimonial

Phil & Rachel — Tue, 14 Jun 2011 13:03:21 +0000

We’re rushed off our feet with weddings and teaching (see www.photographymadesimple.co.uk) at the moment but thought we should pass on this lovely testimonial from Jess and Kelvin, married on 29/5/11 at the Curradine Barns:

Hi Rachel and Phil,

We have just got back off honeymoon and wanted to say a big thank you to you both! You were both brilliant on the day and made us feel so relaxed and comfortable. So many people commented on how relaxed and organised you were and that they didn’t even realise you were the official photographers, they thought you were members of the family! Thank you also for all your non photographic help on the day like Rachel for keeping us on schedule when getting ready and Phil finding us a knife to cut our wedding cake. All your help and support was very much appreciated and made our day so special!

We can’t wait to see our photos so please let us know what we need to do from here.

Thanks again Jess and Kelvin

Burgers at the Elms

Phil & Rachel — Tue, 08 Feb 2011 16:14:38 +0000

Rachel was commissioned for some PR photographs by the lovely people at Mad as a March Hare. This time to photography Daren Bale, Head Chef at The Elms, Abberley and his gourmet burgers.

We love to photograph food — we find it easier than people say, but you need to know what you’re doing.

er, worms

Phil & Rachel — Wed, 19 Jan 2011 20:18:35 +0000

One minute we’re photographing cute little bridesmaids, the next it’s someone off the New Year’s Honours’ List, and the next is, well.…worms!

Today Rachel went and photographed a wormery near Worcester for the lovelyMad As A March Hare PR company.

Bubble House owner Ken and Victoria from Destination Worcester

Glorious blue skies, although the sun was extremely bright, which was slightly worrying, as it was difficult to find a spot where people wouldn’t be squinting!

Bubble House Worm Farm is a fascinating place, and the worms are just amazing. The owners, Ken and Woody, are really passionate about their work. In fact, Rachel was so impressed that she came home demanding a domestic wormery…what will she be up to next?!

Snowy Snowdonia

Phil & Rachel — Wed, 05 Jan 2011 10:51:20 +0000

Yesterday we went (some of the way) up Tryfan — here are a couple of the pictures we took along the way. It’s higher than it looks!!

The extremely nice Broughton family

Phil & Rachel — Sun, 02 Jan 2011 19:41:31 +0000

On Friday we photographed the Broughton family, after Phil met Jocelyn Broughton teaching a course as part of photographymadesimple. Since Rachel’s area of expertise is babies and children, we were commissioned to photograph the new grandchildren. A lovely family, who never mentioned that Martin had just been knighted in the 2011 New Year’s Honours List. Sir Martin Broughton’s career is too stellar to report here, but today’s Sunday Telegraph has a go. Sir Martin is the most important business leader we’ve ever photographed, and also a really approachable Chelsea-supporting chap with a delightful family.

Yet another fine wedding testimonial

Phil & Rachel — Mon, 13 Dec 2010 20:22:42 +0000

This evening Rachel dropped off an extra album copy to Jim and Gemma, who’s wedding we photographed at Birtsmorton Court this Summer. (They’re the couple with the VW van). They gave Rachel a lovely handmade card with the following inside:

Dear Phil and Rachel,

We would like to thank you for the wonderful photos you took on our wedding day. They really do tell the story of the day, and we do not get fed up of looking at them. They are always on our computer screensaver.

Truly wonderful!

Many thanks,

Jim and Gemma xx

Getting cards like that makes our job worthwhile. Thanks.

Royal Wedding

Phil & Rachel — Tue, 23 Nov 2010 17:37:51 +0000

We’re already booked on the day of the royal wedding.

This means:

a. We’re not available for Wills and Waity Kaity

and

b. We won’t get a day off.

As Dick Dastardly would say — “Drat and double drat!”

Never work with animals or children

Phil & Rachel — Thu, 02 Sep 2010 08:50:44 +0000

We received another lovely testimonial from Lee Gough, Chief Executive at Megan Baker House where we spent a week or so last year photographing the children for a traveling exhibition:

“Phil and Rachel I can’t recommend highly enough. Their attention to detail and commitment to the job is fantastic. they provided us with some beautiful photos which we have exhibited extensively. they captured the children, showing the viewer that being disabled does not mean being unable — they are still beautiful smiling children despite everything.”

Moats and VW’s

Phil & Rachel — Fri, 06 Aug 2010 20:55:54 +0000

Jim and Gemma decided to arrive in style at the Birtsmorton Court, near Malvern. Traditional setting with a modern local twist.
