Mr & Mrs Peake – Wedding Photography

Emma — Thu, 03 Sep 2009 19:23:00 +0000

Last week, I was at Christmas Hall in Suffolk taking wedding photographs of a couple hailing from North Wales! They had travelled to the region having found the beautiful location online and making a booking to ensure everything went smoothly. Here are a few photos from their wonderful time in Suffolk.

Great British Food – Great Commercial Photography

Emma — Thu, 03 Sep 2009 12:03:09 +0000

Out now – Great British food magazine, featuring a double page spread of my photography!

Having spent they day out with Polly Robinson covering on one of her fabulous Suffolk Food Safari days out, the magazine contacted me about using a selection of my photographs. I gladly provided them with a lightbox of images to choose from.

Whether you have a passion for game, a love of lobster, a penchant for pumpkin or a taste for Victoria plums, the latest issue promises to bring a host of ideas and inspiration to the autumn table. Get yours from WHSmith or Tesco now!

“Emma at eightyOne has created a fantastic portfolio of photos for my new business Food Safari. The photos get right to heart of Food Safari and tell the story of each event capturing the atmosphere of our foodie days out perfectly.”

Product Shots & Wedding Photography

What a great second half to the week!

Tomorrow I’m out at Christmas Hall in Suffolk covering a wedding of a couple who are travelling to the area from North Wales. It’s a beautiful venue, so well worth the journey!

Then on Friday this week, I’ve been commissioned to do some new product photography for the House & Garden store at Snape Maltings – one of Suffolk’s premiere retail and arts-based locations. The finished product photography will appear on Snape Maltings’ main website.

Grandparent Portrait Photograph

For their forthcoming wedding anniversary, Eileen and Peter’s daughter-in-law commisioned me to visit them at their home in Eyke, Suffolk and capture the couple together. The portrait photoshoot resulted in some lovely moments between the two, and the family are now choosing a final image to have printed in large format to celebrate their special day. Congratulations! x

A Trio of Tots – Child Portrait Photography

This is Amelie, Katie and Yannick – a very entertaining set of siblings from Sproughton, Suffolk. Their Mum booked me in to do a photoshoot with them (and not forgetting Russell the Bear) last week, and a fantastic time was had by all! Find out more about my child portrait photography

Off-duty wedding photographer!

Emma — Sat, 01 Aug 2009 08:10:21 +0000

It’s that time of year when I’m off to lots of lovely weddings and taking photographs of people’s very special day. This weekend is slightly different, it’s one of my best friend’s big day down near Bishop’s Stortford, so Mr EightyOne and I are heading down there to see her get married with our own eyes (rather than through a viewfinder, for a change!). I’ll still no doubt have a camera with me on hand to take some photos of their wedding, and maybe even some of us being there!

So, have a wonderful wedding Little Em, and we’ll hopefully have a catch up this afternoon once you have become Mrs. Herd! x

To the rest of you, have a brilliant weekend. I’ve currently got some fantastic plans in the works for a new project involving portrait photography – I’m sure you’ll be hearing about it soon!

Suffolk Brewers’ Market – Event Photography

Emma — Mon, 27 Jul 2009 18:48:00 +0000

Here we go! As promised, here’s some shots from yesterday’s successful Brewers’ Market at Snape Maltings, in Sunny (well, changeable) Suffolk. Enjoy. x

Applying the idea of a Farmers’ Market to beers, Britain’s first Brewer’s Market will bring together 12 of East Anglia’s best microbrewers at Snape Maltings, near Aldeburgh on Sunday 26 July. The event revives Snape’s long connection with brewing over 30 years after the site ceased malting barley for beer. – Polly Robinson, Food Safari

Suffolk Brewers’ Market

Emma — Sun, 26 Jul 2009 20:36:11 +0000

Perfect Sunday today, we headed down to the new Suffolk Brewers’ Market at Snape Maltings, not far from Aldeburgh in Suffolk. The weather was perfect for the event, which saw some of the regions best brewers turning up and discussing their latest beers with both real ale fanatics and market fans alike.

There was also some fantastic food to sample, too. The Bhaji Man was there in person dishing out some samples of his brilliant Onion Bhaji EasyMix. There was also a brilliant grill offering tasty burgers, sausages (which we out of this world) and sardines with locally produced salads – care of the ever-brilliant Metfield Bakery.

I’m currently going through the images from the day, and will post a special gallery of the event onto the site later this week.
