Loving weddings.....

There are many reasons why I love doing what I do, but seeing the emotion and happiness when people see their photographs is just the best.    I had the honor of taking Vicky and Prav's wedding photographs and Vicky just emailed me with this amazing testimonial.......

Claire was our wedding photographer and she is fab. She put us at ease from our initial meeting and ‘got’ me and how I wanted the wedding photographed and how to make me look nice (I'm not a dress person). As part of the package we got a free engagement shoot which is a brilliant idea – you get to sample how it is to be photographed on the day and so you know what to expect. It was actually fun (I also am not a photo person) and Claire showed us the pictures as a slideshow at home before the wedding so we could see how amazing she made us look. Consequently I had 100% faith in her and the photos we got on the day. Our makeup was done by Jo Leversuch who is fantastic. We had a trial run a few weeks before and noted how I wanted the makeup done. She worked magic and I didn't look too bad on the day if I say so myself! She works with Claire regularly and knows how to balance light/camera film and makeup to produce a look where I felt comfortable and beautiful.

Hearts... Curves.... & Lace

Tis February again, the month which is symbolic of, and filled with celebrating love (even our love of food on Pancake day, yum).    It's also a great time to brave the colder weather by going to a gorgeous location, taking the thermals off and putting on something sensual and special, having your hair and make-up professionally done and tying it all together with a boudoir shoot......     Contact me at claire@burnsrowattphotography or 07962 393664 if you'd like more information.   Happy Valentines Day.  x

Ben

I had the delight of photographing Ben recently, and what a cutie! He and his parents live 30 seconds from the beach and so off we went for some fun in the sand....

Vicki

When I met Vicki I found out that she is a girl of many talents.... not only does she have a zoology degree and wants to set up her own zoo, is into extreme sports and abseils on oil rigs, she wants to break into modelling too. So I helped her out by getting some portfolio images together.

Violette of Yarm

A beautiful new lingerie shop has just opened.... the lucky ladies of Yarm will be spoilt for choice for gorgeous designer underwear, swimwear and even jewellery.

Violette at 37 High Street, Yarm is the passion of Lesley Kenneally who wanted to open a boutique lingerie shop that gave a bespoke measuring and advice service. They cater for cup sizes A-J. How many of us ladies have drawer fulls of bras, which are different sizes according to where we shopped and that just don't fit properly??? Pop in and have a look around - you won't be able to leave without buying something gorgeous.... http://www.violette-lingerie.co.uk/ .

Pam Royle, ITV presenter, officially opened Violette and gave it her blessing. Here are some images of the opening day.

The recipe for a perfect Easter - Flowers, Friends and Eggs -

This Easter we managed a couple of mini holidays with friends. The weather was fabulous (even managed a BBQ early evening) and there were lots of afternoon teas and relaxing..... and of course some pictures...

And we came across a fabulous van...

Family Davidson

It was a very wet, cold and windy spring day when I met up with the Davidson family but hey, we still had lots of giggles and mayhem with this crazy bunch...
