Family portrait photography in Kingston Lisle by Judi Checketts (Oxfordshire photographer)

Last year I had the pleasure of shooting some lifestyle photograph of a family with 6 six wonderful children, the eldest just entering their teens and the youngest, Ruby, just one!  Having resisted the urge to tear down curtains and do a Sound of Music themed shoot with doh-ray-me sing-a-long (for which Paula is probably extrenely grateful!) we started the shoot at their lovely Oxfordshire home and began with a few group shots in the house.  The children then changed and we went outside and spent a relaxed morning getting some great natural images of them.  I just love the colours from this time of year!  The family chose a large framed print of the whole family together for their wall as well as a stunning album to hold their family memories to celebrate the addition of Ruby to the family.

If you would like a family lifestyle shoot with at your home or on location please get in touch.  I am inspired by the changing seasons and the combination of you, your chosen location and the time of year will always ensure your images are unique to you and your family.

Emma & Dan's "Strictly" Wedding at Ashorne Hill by Judi Checketts Photography (Oxford Photographer)

We had such a lovely summer and Emma and Dan's wedding day was no exception.  Once again I had the pleasure of shooting with Warwickshire wedding photographer John Cleary.  If you're getting married in warwichshire do go and see John - a great photographer and lovely guy! As usual I took the boys while John covered the bridal peparations.  We have worked together quite a few times now and built up a good rapport and understanding which ensures we cover a wedding fully from all angles.  Some of my favourites I took on the day are shown below.  The details in the wedding were beautiful and Emma had spent alot of time coordinating the look and feel for their special day.  But the greatest surpirse for the guests was the first dance - they put on quite a show and had obviously spent some months practicing their moves!  To the music of John Denver they danced  to "Annie's Song" - such an amazing first dance we were all quite misty eyed by the end of it.  Even Craig-Revel Horwood would have been hard pressed not to score them a perfect 10!

 If you are getting married and are looking for a wedding photographer please contact me or visit my website www.judicheckettsphotography.com for further information. I'd love to chat with you about you're special day!
