New stuff we've been doing....

Over the last weeks or so, we've been asked to do a few jobs that have taken us beyond our usual work in the studio, and we've had loads of fun doing them. We love a challenge, and it's great to be able to offer more services to our clients. We'll be updating the website as and when we get round to it to reflect the new range of what we can offer, but in the meantime.....

Photo-Restoration

When a customer walked in with his scrap book and some old battered black and white prints which he wanted restoring so that he could give them to his best friend on the occasion of his wedding, Jo was very excited and got stuck in straight away.

These are just a couple, and the results were presented as prints and as digital files on disk, so the image is now fixed forever. One happy customer, and hopefully, one happy groom!

We charge according to the level of restoration that's needed, from faded paper and missing corners to scratches and creases. Give us a call if we can help you rescue a memory before it deteriorates, and we'll be delighted to give you a quote.

Portraits Shoots in the Park

... or anywhere pretty or special. We have the studio set up with the white curve, but we don't half get bored sometimes. It's so much more challenging as a photographer to be out in the open, and therefore more satisfying when you come back with some really individual and personalised shots. If you'd like some family photos somewhere fun or important to you, or if you'd like some with your beloved at your special location, especially if you're celebrating something lovely, we'd love to come along and help make the occasion unforgettable.

Let us know what you've got in mind, and where you want to go, and we'll quote you a price that includes the shoot and the edited images on a DVD with copyright, so that you can print them as many times and at whatever size you want.

Call us on 0113 2826116 or drop us a line at info@hiltonsandersphotography. We look forward to hearing your plans!

Richard & Rachel at Oulton Church

Rachel and Richard got married last Friday at St John's in Oulton, the beautiful little church just down the road from the studio.

In the morning, the grey clouds started gathering, and as soon as I got there it began to rain steadily. By the time I was huddling under the bridesmaid's umbrella waiting for the old Rolls Royce to pull up, all I had chance to say was "The weather couldn't be worse, could it?" before the heavens opened. Thankfully, by the time the happy couple emerged, the sun had come out. But by the time we got up to Thorpe Park Hotel for the reception, the wind had caught up with us.

Our job as photographers is to capture the day as it happens, and so hopefully the shots show just how changeable the atmosphere was. In spite of what the skies tried to throw at us, the wedding went fantastically well, and we had loads of fun with a great couple and their lovely families.

Congratulations Mr & Mrs Torn!

Oulton Hall wedding shots

Craig and Danielle got married on the 24th July just down the road at Oulton Hall, and Jo and I were there to follow them throughout their big day.

I don't know about them, but we had a great time, what with helicopter entrances, golf buggy rides, choreographed dances and such lovely families.

Here's a sneaky peek at a few shots. They're not back from honeymoon yet, and we're still editing to show them their full collection, but thanks to the extra they booked with their package, they've seen a few of them already when we projected them at the reception. We got cuddled to within an inch of our lives. Can't wait to show them the rest!
