Solihull Glamour Photography

Glamour Makeover Photography – The Beautiful Amy

A few days ago I got a very excited call from a very good friend and great Solihull based wedding & portrait photographer – Sean O’Shaughnessy – Sean has a great website which you can find here

Sean had been shooting a commercial job a few days before and stumbled across a beautiful young lady called Amy, Sean instantly knew Amy would make an amazing model and as he is in the process of totally re-branding his boudoir and make over photography marketing materials did the typical photographer thingy – he said “Hey baby, I am a photographer and would love to take your picture” but in his own words with his soft Irish lilt. To cut a long story short Amy said yes and yesterday they invaded my studio and asked if I would be interested in collaborating on a photo shoot.

So Amy turned up with a girlfriend, Sean hired a very talented make up artist and I worked as the studio lighting tech and digital tech for the day, helped out with posing, lighting, making tea and coffee etc.

The images are amazing, I have a few to share with you, as the rest have not yet been processed.

We split them in into 3 main sections,

1 – Photos for mum and dad or the family.

2. Photos for the boyfriend

3. Photos for Amy

We had an amazing half day, we ventured into the woods and those photos are amazing, and in time I will share a few more with you once Sean chooses which ones he wants to work up.

Hope you like,

Remember we offer a full range of Make over and Boudoir photography at our studio in Worcestershire and regularly have people traveling from all over the UK for photoshoots. – If your looking for a make over photoshoot or boudoir photoshoot check out our boudoir photography page

West Midlands & Worcestershire Pregnancy Portraits / baby bump

April 26, 2013

The Miracle of Life – Bump Photos while your Pregnant

First off very special thanks to Miss ‘L’ for allowing me to post her pregnancy portraits on line.

In our studio we photograph a lot of babies and pregnant mums to be, Pregnancy photography is one of my favorite personally as I find it amazing to be able to capture this very special moment in a couples life and can only imagine what the mum must be feeling and going thru.

The style of pregnancy photography we offer is a mixture of beauty and fine art baby bump photos.

The day was perfect, Jeanie (one of our make up artists) and myself were really looking forward to Miss ‘L’s’ shoot and hopped she would be up for some of the fine art nude shots as well as possibly going into the woods at the back of the studio. (we had a heads up from Miss L that she loved the fine art pregnancy photos – we send out a selection of images prior to the shoot itself) The woods were kind of a last minute idea but the images are so beautiful that I am delighted to be sharing them with you.

So here you go, a few images from shoot.

Beautiful Natural Environmental Pregnancy Portraits

We cant wait to see Miss L back in the studio when it will turn from Bump to Baby photography

Hope you like them !

Glamour and Boudoir Photography – The beautiful Miss E.

April 24, 2013

Hey there,

What a roller coaster of a week this has been.

Just when your feeling down, you get an email like this and it picks you back up agian – The email was from the georgous Miss E, a boudoir client who visited me a few weeks ago.

Miss E kindly let me share a few pictures with you and sent these very nice words to discribe her Boudoir / Glamour photography photo shoot.

and here are the very kind words from Miss E

When I arrived at the studio, almost half an hour late I was greeted by David and was made very welcome straight away, however I was extremely nervous as I had never done anything like tho before and for a split second questioned my sanity of actually getting into my underwear and baring all! I am very conscious of my body. David could obviously sense I was nervous and put me at ease with a little banter. I remember standing in my underwear and heals and literally shaking, two hours later, I was a completely different person, music pumping, positions changing, pouting my lips, it was just the confidence boost I needed!

The shoot went so quick and I came out feeling like a model thanks to the fantastic work from David and his make up artist!

I am that pleased I have booked a boudoir photoshoot party with some of my girlfriends in a hotel!! I can’t wait to add more to my collection!!

I recommend this to everyone!

Sad news today – in loving memory of Emma

April 24, 2013

I have been sitting here feeling very sorry for myself for an hour or so, this morning Mrs P let me know that Emma S had passed away. I had only met Emma once yet this lady touched my heart. I was photographing a wedding last year when this fun and bubbly girl popped her head around the corner. We clicked instantly and throughout the day we kept having a joke and a giggle.

Emma had been battling with cancer for a long time and with me having been ill the year we had an instant connection. Emma (from what I saw) lived every day to the fullest.

She had an amazing family and a fabulous extended family who I know will miss her immensely.

Its not often a wedding guest wants to have their photo taken with the photographer but that was exactly what she did.

The angels will be happy today because they have received into heaven a very special person.

In Loving Memory.

Emma and her family

Emma doing what she did best having a great time with an amazing smile on her face

Emma who touched my heart.

God bless and rest in peace

Hi there, I am on a bit of a roll at the moment with blog posts, they are like the number 10 bus – none for ages then 3 in a row.

A couple of weeks ago saw the team at David Purslow Photography shooting the wedding of Natalie and Dogan, The team for the day was made up of my primary wedding assistant – Clare my good friend Sean O’Shaughnessy (a Solihull based wedding & Portrait photographer) and myself – I needed a big team as this was a BIG BIG wedding. Being a Turkish affair the numbers were huge, so the wedding took place at the National Motorcycle Museum in Birmingham – The Imperial suite is one of the largest venues in the west midlands – more about this a little later – but remember this is only a sneak peek !

The day started really early for us and her is Natalie our beautiful bride at the hairdressers

Marston Farm Wedding Photography – Sneak Peek !

The Wedding of Claire and Steve

Hello these, this is just a quick sneak peek……….

This Saturday (a beautiful and sunny day at last) saw me photographing the wedding of Clare and Steve at Marston Farm in Warwickshire, this was a really fun wedding and everyone had an amazing day, Claire the bride is as much of a foodie as I am and we have been exchanging cake ideas for weeks, more about this later

So as its half term and I am about run out the door with Mrs P and the kids I thought I would share a few pictures with you.

I was very excited that Claire let me take her dress outside for photos

Here I was playing around with dragging the shutter and having a bit of fun

Then this is what happens when your in the middle of a shot similar to the one above and your 2nd shooter happens to pop off their flash !

Spooky

The couple at sunset

last but not least, and a shot you dont get to see that often, is a shot of me !!!!!

Claire knowing my love of chocolate made sure Mark (my 2nd shooter) and myself didnt miss out on pudding

thanks Claire n Steve !

Pembrokeshire Wedding – Llys Meddyg – Behind the Scenes

March 25, 2013

Hello there,

Just a quick post today showing off one of my new toys, This weekend saw Clare and myself down in Pembrokeshire for the wedding of Maria and Wayne, I have just offloaded the photos and will get to edit them shortly but having a quick sneak peek at them I came across this photo of Wayne, it was taken in the pub next door to Llys Meddyg about an hour before the wedding – I wanted to capture the charm and ambiance of place so didnt want to use flash to destroy the photo, the light levels in there were pretty poor as it was 3pm on dark overcast day.

Here is one of the pictures,

So although the photo looks nice and light and bright and airy it was infact very dark, the ISO setting for those more technical out there was 4000, and it was shot at 60th of a second at F2.8 – If you look at Wayne’s waistcoat, you will see that his front was almost totally in shade, so without killing the nice atmosphere in the room I had Clare hold an improvised ICE LIGHT — our version is a 125 bulb workshop lamp and have the light just skim off his face.

Here is a pull back a few seconds later

Just wait till you see the photos we shot down on the beach ! – yep on a very snowy day in England Maria and Wayne braved sub 0 tempratures to head to the beach for some couple photos – they came out amazing…….

more soon……

West Midlands Boudoir Photography – Beautiful Miss M in black & white

January 21, 2013

Hi there,

Just one quick one for today, I just had the stunning and amazing miss M come for her viewing. Miss M came to see us last week for her boudoir shoot, this stunning lady comes from South America and has that Latin sensuality oozing out of every pour.

More and more of my boudoir clients end up choosing what I call my Boudoir Noir images, these are sexy, sensual and artistic black and white boudoir photos and Miss M LOVED her Noir images.

I asked if I could share one of my favorites from the shoot with you lot and she graciously said yes

so here it is,

Miss M – Boudoir Noir by David Purslow
