Wouldn't it be nice if our winters here in the UK were full of snowfall, snowmen and snow fights. Sadly, it's drizzly and cold.
Now is the perfect time to get yourself and family a studio portrait shoot indoors; and it's not just for families - professionals, actors, authors those who wish to upgrade their LinkedIn profile or refresh their social media with headline grabbing headshots it's for you too.
As we're so generous this time of year, we're offering a free hot chocolate (or latte / tea) from our friends at On The Quay were our studio is based to keep you going - and you'll be pleased to hear, we've changed the radio station from Magic Christmas to Heart UK (if my wife gets there) or Kisstory (if I get there first).
We look forward to seeing you.
Available for weddings across Essex, UK.
Hi there. Thank you for stopping by in my little space of the internet. I am an experienced photographer, who started taking photographs around 30 years ago. I am based in a little town called Burnham-on-Crouch, Essex, UK.
I deliver classic and timeless style of photography. I capture your wedding story from beginning to end, in an informal and calm style, that is unobtrusive resulting in beautiful images of such an important day.
I'm a fully insured photographer, using the latest camera technology to capture your most important moments.
On many occasions I am also accompanied by my wife who helps organise things here at Shining HQ but also has a keen eye for detail, taking wonderfully atmospheric images.
10% of all profits will go to support our local primary school, Burnham County Primary school in Essex.
We love to talk, nothing more so than about how we can help you.
