Boutique Floral

This week I was thrilled to work with budding Florist Emma Pink of Boutique Floral. (https://www.facebook.com/boutiquefloralservices)  (https://twitter.com/boutiqueflorals)

Below are pictures which are the rough, unedited versions, as Emma requested that her finished and edited pictures were not posted as  the website release needs to remain exclusive for the client.

We took a journey all around the North East, beginning at King Edwards Bay in Tynemouth, working our way around Tynemouth and then headed over to North Shields Fish Quay.

We finished off the creative day of in Blyth at the Bandstand and I had such a ball working with Emma and her creative designs.

Funeral flowers, you may may think, are traditional, something to mark the mourning and passing of loved ones. 




However, rather than focus on the passing of family of friends, Emma has decided to use her brand and creativity to embody and focus on bringing the element of celebration to funerals for the person's life. 

The Chapel of Rest - Jacob Conroy & Sons (http://www.jacobconroy.co.uk), are due a special thanks as they very kindly let us take photographs with their coffins and hearse's.

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.

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.

A Blog to Becca and Dean

I was thrilled when Becca and Dean asked me to share their wedding day.

For a while now I regularly attend the friendliest salon I've been to: Faceworks NE based in Wallsend.  Visiting this as a client I'm always catching up with the family team that run it.  Lesley, owner of Faceworks and her daughter Becca do treatments, and Dean is involved with running the office side of things.  Having had treatments from both Mother and Daughter team I soon knew that Becca was planning on marrying her teen sweetheart Dean.  Naturally I was wholeheartedly on board when I found out they wanted Pearman Photography to capture the day.

Becca and Dean already have two beautiful babies.  Jake who is 2 1/2 and Faith, their new arrival at 4 months.  To get the couple used to having their picture taken we had a lively family shoot session in the studio.  Not only did we work on getting some lovely family portraits, I got to play an excellent game of balloons with Jake, as well as catch some great moments with Faith - I love being anyones first official photographer.  With another trip out to the venue's Dean and Becca had chosen, we were all fully prepped on the way in which the day would go. 

I arrived at the Salon to the hub bub of wedding preparations.  Its common to see the full array of emotions when a Wedding is approaching.  As well as getting photographs to save these little memories, I always try to be an extra pair of hands.  From last minute sewing, helping with button holes and flowers to the key moment of the bride putting on her dress, we had lots of laughs and excitement.  Jake helped out too with entertaining his baby sister so Mammy could get ready, to even performing Prince Charming responsibilities like putting on her wedding shoes.

Becca - Ready to Rock

I shared a chariot to the Registry office with Becca's Mam Lesley.  In true geordie fashion, the taxi driver and Lesley knew each other from "way back", so as well as excited talk of the day ahead, I was  "given the skinny" and shared some laughs.

Last minute guests were ushered in, and the ceremony began.  Lesley had predicted "Becca was a Cryer", and sure enough emotions ran high as the walk up the aisle hit home.  Nevertheless, a demure and graceful Bride she remained.

 With the subsidised nerves and initial tears, I can report she fitted in some beaming smiles and giggles as well.

With the official part completed, the time was right for catching those celebrationary family and friends pictures.

We'd agreed to take a moment from the day for Becca and Dean to get some photography of just the two of them.  As well as a great opportunity to document the Bride and Groom in their blissful 'just-married-state', it's always a great chance for them each to catch a breath in a moment of calm in the midst of their whirlwind day.

Spring has Sprung.  The snowdrops and new foliage, reflecting the new period in Becca and Dean's lives.

Clear Blue Skies all the way.  We joked that the two of them would return to this bench on anniversary days.

I bet they stick to it. 

And so freshly married, the couple head off to their Wedding Reception.

Raising a metophorical glass, I wish you both huge Congratulations, and Good Luck in your lives together.

Lots of Love,

Laura
