  • River Cottage Easter Fair with Hugh Fearnley-Whittingstall

    River Cottage Easter Fair with Hugh Fearnley-Whittingstall

    We were asked to document the River Cottage HQ Easter Fair so River Cottage would have stock images to use for promotion and marketing of this and other future events on their website.

    Hugh Fearnley-Whittingstall also made an appearance, meeting visitors and signing cookbooks.

     

  • A spring day at the Buttermarket bakery

    A spring day at the Buttermarket bakery

    We spent some time in Poundbury, a new town on the outskirts of Dorchester in the county of Dorset, England. It is built according to the principles of Prince Charles who is known for holding strong views challenging the post-war trends in town planning.

    ‘Our Bakeries’ have been building a new bakery to open this summer and we have been following the progress of the build by popping back every few months to photograph the current state. It’s shaping up to be a really nice bakery with it’s dome glass top giving some lovely views over Poundbury and the surrounding countryside.

    We not only photographed the bakery but also the surrounding area and the shops local to the bakery, since Poundbury is very much built in keeping with the gathering ethos that Our Bakeries is known for it seemed only right to meet a few of the locals and include them.

    Below are a few photos from the day.

     

  • Leukaemia CARE fundraising event

    Leukaemia CARE fundraising event

    With only weeks to go until the London Marathon, we are stepping up our fundraising efforts and as part of this, came up with the idea to offer our photography for donations. We set up a mobile studio at our good friends, The Royal William Bakery and offered couple and family photography to those visiting; as well as amusing portrait photos which really brings out the characters of people.

    The time we spent at the bakery was really fun and we met some lovely people, with everyone managing to raise just under £300 for Leukaemia CARE. A big thanks to all who donated and took part it’s really appreciated and we hope you love your photos.
