Jazz and all things Gatsby..

When Joo-Lee from Lindy Jazz called me to ask if I'd come on board to capture her and her dancers, I couldn't resist. Her dancers were asked to welcome the launch of The Great Gatsby film down at the Tyneside Theatre, and she wanted me to take some pictures and capture them in their element.
Previously, Joo-Lee and Gillian from Lindy Jazz called into the studio to get some Pin-Up style shots taken, and with the laughs and giggles throughout, when finished they were thrilled with the finished outcome we had together created. You can imagine, as with all clients, I was delighted when they came back for more, and so for this on-location shoot, I risked my favourite lenses as well as limbs to catch the Lindy Jazz dancers strutting their stuff to the 1920's beat.

Special thanks must go to Marie from ND Make Up who worked with us on the Pin Up shoot.

Beccy & Darren's Sunshine Wedding at Rockliffe

I spoke with Beccy a couple times in the run up to the Wedding - Saturday 15th June 2013. But due to Darren's schedule we all met just a few days before the Wedding Day itself. I was pleased to meet them and answer all last minute questions about the day. They were pretty chilled -as a couple about to tie the knot- so I had a feeling that their day was going to be Relaxed, Fun-filled and jubilant.

With the ceremony complete at St Mary's Church in Acklam, we all headed down to Rockliffe Hall. Not only were the couple of the day full of happiness and cheer, their very cool vicar told me she had to reschedule the rehearsal in order to spend the night rocking out with Mr Jovi. Exceedingly cool!

Here at Rockliffe, the Bridal Party and all of their guests were happy to indulge my musings. Here we created my interpretation of a Haribo Fizz ad. Just look at those shapes!

We got Flower Girl Sienna to keep those boys in line in this shot. I asked all of the men to look at Sienna, thinking we'd get a cute picture. She didn't like my idea and instead went for the tongue pose, much to all of our amusement. A priceless moment.

Inspired by our Vicar's recent venture, we all went for the rocking out wave pose (minus lighters). I was thrilled to see all guests took part. A real cracking bunch. Whatsmore, the sun shone brightly especially for us.

A toast on the terrace. Cheers you two!

After dining, guests (and myself) were thoroughly entertained with the speeches.

Here Darren re-counts the story of how he met Beccy. She carries off embarrassment with grace. I'm not going to tell the story here!

Beccy's brother Graeme gave her away. His speech was very heart-felt and I think he certainly did her proud.

Darren's cousin Gary was an excellent best man. Incorporating a sweepstake into the timing of his "much-awaited" speech, he had the crowd in the palm of his hand. Animated, and liberal with stories about Darren, we all learned about tales of cars and nights out on the town. (I'll leave it there Darren ey?)

Taking a relaxing stroll on the croquet lawn

And finally, sharing one of many moments of giggling with happiness.

All joking aside, I wish you both the best of luck and huge congratulations. I cannot wait to show you the rest of the work we created together.

Theatre Royal Art Deco Inspired Shoot

Theatre Royal Art Deco Inspired Shoot

As well as being a photographer, I'm also engaged. In my spare time I love to look through the growing array of Wedding Inspiration blogs. These inspirations can be from world wide sources such as Style Me Pretty in the US, through to more local inspirations, such as Brides Up North.

Currently there appears to be a growing trend developing from across the water in having more 'stylised' weddings, and themes are becoming the forefront of the trend setting brides.

Therefore, I grasped this opportunity with both hands- what could be more inspirational than creating a thematic Bridal shoot with local businesses?

With all things Deco being the height of popularity currently, I teamed up with Anh Mao from Mao Couture (http://www.maocouturebridal.co.uk), new wedding venue The Theatre Royal, and Nic and Marie from ND Make Up.

Together we created an 'Old Hollywood' Deco style body of work.

Pearman Photography is now privileged to be one of the Theatre Royal's recommended wedding photographers.

Thanks is due to Annabel from Tyne Tee's New Faces (http://www.tyneteesmodels.co.uk/models/intro.htm), and Eve Kristina (https://www.facebook.com/pages/Eve-Kristina) who supplied us with the fabulous models.

"Wear Your Sunday Best"

"Wear Your Sunday Best"

It was a privilege being able to capture "Wear Your Sunday Best"during Fashion Week. Occurring during the week of 12th May, the event both attracted and involved a large number of businesses from around the North East, which was great to work along side them.

I would like to extend a massive thank you to all the models who participated and did a fabulous job and also to the student support team who helped me in finding props to decorate the venue.
