New Wedding Postcard

The front and back of my new wedding postcard, hot off the press and ready for the Wedding Fair at Fakenham Community Centre in a couple of weeks time. Look out for my cards and if you are planning your wedding for this year or next, get down to the Community Centre in Fakenham on Saturday 18th and Sunday 19th February where you will be able to meet lots of lovely people (including yours truly!). Or if you would like to speak to me direct, please of course feel free to call me on 01328 856700 or email me via the website.

Head shot of Diana

So, it’s been quite busy here at the ranch recently – so much so in fact that I realise I haven’t blogged for a while. Well, to rectify that, I will be sharing today and over coming posts some of the stuff I’ve been up to…  First off, it’s a recent session to capture a relaxed head shot of Diana, the owner and all round nice person at Creake Abbey, the home of North Norfolk’s very own local award winning farmers’ market, fantastic shops and studios together with the ruins of an 13th century Augustinian abbey. A nice result, I think…

 

Family Shoot in the Studio

What you can do with a lovely family, a studio, some lights and a white background! James, Elaine and Josh came to the studio a week or so ago and had an hour or so’s photography and fifteen photos put on a CD at 7×5″ that they can print out as many times as they like as gifts for friends and family. Here’s a selection from the shoot. If you’d like something similar, please do give me a call!

Fakenham Xmas Lights Switch On

Thanks to Kick Start Fakenham for asking me to take some photographs at the Christmas Lights Switch On on Saturday 26 November. It was a really good afternoon with a visit from Santa, some great music, the lights being switched on, and fireworks. Here’s a selection from the day just to get you in the spirit!

Author portrait

Had a visit from North Norfolk author Ken Lake to the studio today for a portrait to be used on his book jackets and his website. It was my first author portrait and I’m very pleased with how it turned out…

Late Autumn Family Shoot

Had the opportunity to do a nice relaxed family shoot on one of Autumn’s loveliest sunny days in early October. Three generations of one family (happily named Osborn, but no relation to yours truly) together in the sun for some memorable  photos. They were lovely people to work with and I’m very pleased with the results – see what you think…

 

School Art Day

Debbie and I went to Walsingham Community Primary School a little while ago to do an Art Day with the children – concentrating on printing with found objects. I’m lucky to be going back this afternoon to see their Art Exhibition, some of which I think has been inspired by the Art Day so, to celebrate, here are a few photos I had the opportunity to take on the day (shared with the permission of the School):

Mike & Amy’s Wedding

Just delivered Mike and Amy’s wedding photos! They had a lovely day at The Oaklands Hotel in Norwich, the sun was shining, and everyone had a really good time. I had the opportunity to take some pre-ceremony shots of Amy, which was fantastic and then the ceremony of course and a re-visit in the evening for the band and the first dance.  A full, but really wonderful, day! Here is a flavour of the day – the full shoot is at Mike and Amy’s wedding website, provided by Keith Osborn Photography…

 

Back in wedding mode!

Back in wedding mode now with a wedding this Saturday and one next Saturday as well. Going to Norwich this Saturday for a full day, covering the wedding in the morning plus luncheon reception, and then the evening reception as well, and then back in Fakenham next Saturday for a wedding at the Methodist Church on a four hour booking. These two bookings prove how flexible you need to be as a wedding photographer, fitting the hours you shoot around what the couple actually wants. I am very happy to split my time so, for example, a four hour booking could be two hours in the afternoon and two in the evening with a break in between. I only book one wedding on a Saturday so that day is at the disposal of the wedding couple for the number of hours they have booked.

If you are getting married next year, then now is exactly the right time to consider booking your photographer. If you’d like to see more of my work then please check out my wedding portfolio, or if you’d like to chat through your requirements, then please don’t hesitate to give me a call on 01328 856700, or email me at keith@keithosborn.co.uk. In the meantime here’s one of my favourite shots from this year, of  Kelly and Peter:

Circus Designs Shoot

Had the opportunity recently to do a shoot for Gary and Clara at Circus Designs. This lovely outlet is at Great Walsingham Barns and Gary and Clara sell a really interesting range of art, found objects, furniture, textiles and jewellery – it has a great atmosphere and is really friendly place to mooch around! Anyway, here are some of the shots from the afternoon:
