  • HRH Prince Charles visits Poundbury to celebrate 20th Anniversary

    HRH Prince Charles visits Poundbury to celebrate 20th Anniversary

    Having photographed for the Duchy of Cornwall previously, we were asked to document HRH Prince Charles on the 20th anniversary of Poundbury town on the outskirts of Dorchester. The town is being built according to the pioneering designs and ideals of HRH Prince Charles, creating a living space focused on pedestrians and cyclists and not cars. The development started in 1993, and throughout the build, Prince Charles has been very closely involved in most aspects of the development, hence the importance of the day.

    He visited in November to see the latest developments,  as well as attend a reception holding an exhibition celebrating the 20 years of the build and those involved. Below are a few of the moments of the event.

    The Duchy of Cornwall commissioned Limeleaf to document HRH Prince Charles, viewing the exhibition at Poundbury for its 20th anniversary. Poundbury town is an experimental town on the outskirts of Dorchester in the county of Dorset, England.

    The development is built on land owned by the Duchy of Cornwall and is Prince Charles pet project. He is known for holding strong views challenging the post-war trends in town planning that were suburban in character.

    Poundbury is a beautiful town with gorgeous architecture and a nice open airy feel. With parks, bakeries and local shops close to almost all houses car use is minimised to create a greater feeling of community.

    Below are a few of the photos we captured for the Duchy of Cornwall.

    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.

  • 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.

     

     

  • First Weekend in the Slaughterhouse Bakery

    First Weekend in the Slaughterhouse Bakery

    As previously posted, ‘Our Bakeries’ recently moved not far from their old location and we covered the photography of the new bakery being built and moving in equipment.

    We were asked to return to photograph on the first weekend they were open, we decided on the Sunday as the local market was on and wanted to get a few photos with this in place. Without even advertising, not even a single sign outside, the bakery was nearing full capacity. With two of us moving around, documenting the ambiance and hustle of a fresh October day we were able to seize the moment and bring it across in our photography.

  • Devon guest house photography for the Old Rectory

    Devon guest house photography for the Old Rectory

    After a beautiful hands on renovation of the Old Rectory, the owners wanted some holiday cottage photography that would stand out from the norm, and show all the little touches they had painstaking put in to ensure their guests a luxury five star self catering home from home. They had already completed the standard room shots but wanted photography that would show the details and feel of the property to prospective families and couples wanting a relaxing time away.

    The house is ideally situated close to the Devonshire coast and boasts close proximity to Seaton Tramway, a local family attraction that takes you directly to the beach!

    The guest house photography we provided mainly consisted of abstract and feature shots, ideal for brochures, websites and getting a good feel across.

    Below is a small selection of the photographs we provided.

  • Boston Tea Party Bristol Cafe Photography in Cheltenham

    Boston Tea Party Bristol Cafe Photography in Cheltenham

    Boston Tea Party asked that we photograph some of their drinks and take a few shots of their café in Cheltenham.

    The photography took place at their Cheltenham café whilst it was open and serving customers. I used a few seats in the corner of the café to set up and control our lighting balanced with the large side windows of natural light.

    Here’s a few from the shoot.
