Photobooth fun!

A few weeks ago I had the task of filming my awesome friend Laura's wedding on an super 8 cine camera, as well as running a photo booth  Well the drinks had been flowing and people raided the prop box and here are the results - I think you'll agree, they are very funny!

As of 2013 I will be offering photo-booths as additional extras starting at £150 and can be totally themed towards your wedding! If you're interested please get in touch :)

Secret gigs with Dr Martens!

On Tuesday I was lucky enough to be invited to the secret gig launch night of the Dr Martens 

store in Broadmead, Bristol. If anyone knows me well, they will know I live in my limited edition Hello Kitty Docs, which you can see above! They are by far the best shoes I've ever owned. They're still intact despite wearing them for almost 365 days in rain, snow, sun, mud etc. I wear them to all my shoots as I know I'll be able to climb onto things, or walk across crooked paths without slipping or falling. So when the little email popped up in my inbox there was only ever going to be one answer... yes!

The shop was seriously awesome, and I loved the mural behind the till that said "Cheers Drive!" such a nice Bristolian touch on things. I do have a small confession, despite being a massive lover of Doc Martens I was naive enough to think that all they sold were shoes and boots... Oh how wrong I was! Lined up around the walls and tables were some of the prettiest and wonderfully made satchels I have ever seen, so when the manager announced after a few beers that there was a lovely bit of discount off that evening I swiftly sent my mum a text asking if I could buy one on her behalf as a birthday present to myself, and when she replied saying yes I pretty much squealed and leapt in the air (luckily the band was playing so I didn't look too odd!)

I decided on going for this beautiful pink and black satchel that matched my shoes, the quality of it is fantastic, and I am seriously going to love using my bag all the time! 

Next on my list of things to buy are these shoes, and also I'd quite like to own this pair too! Infact I'd quite like to own the whole store!

Will you be visiting the Dr Martens store anytime soon?

Behind the Scenes: Peacock shoot

Yesterday I headed to a nearby park to finally put to life the peacock themed shoot myself and Jen have been planning for a while. I felt a little under prepared before the shoot, but then I usually do, the nerves kick in but once I begin shooting adrenaline pumps through me and the shoot went so quick, it was 5 before we knew it! 

We walked through mud, said hello to lots of dogs and their owners and made swings in trees... all in all it was a lovely day and had a wonderful creative team :) 

I have yet to edit the photos but I thought I would post a few behind the scenes photos so you can get an idea of what we got up too!

And a few Instagram snaps below, remember you can follow me on Twitter/Instagram for more behind the scene stuff! @chloeleephoto

A family shoot in Bristol

I attended another two of Rosies workshops last Wednesday, I think I'm a little addicted, but when one is quite literally on your doorstep you can't say no! This particular workshop was focused around lifestyle, so aimed more towards engagement, couple and family photography. 


It took place in the grounds of Ashton Court. We had the lovely Vikki and Rich modelling with their daughter Lily who is THE most adorable little lady ever! (little fact: I've never photographed a baby so this was something totally different for me) But I loved it and I'd love to do some more family portraits in the future. 


Here are some of my favourite images from the shoot! I'd just like to say a massive thank you to Rosie for being so awesome, and Vikki, Rich and Lily for letting us steal your time to photograph you. Let me know what you think and stayed tuned for the Bridal workshop that happened earlier on in the day coming soon! 

Bristol Fashion Week S/S 2012

On Friday I embarked on a long, but well worth it, journey to The Mall at Cribbs Causeway! (when I say long it was only 45 minutes but the buses like to go around the houses a bit!)

I'd never been to Bristol Fashion Week before but being a photographer, and part time blogger, I jumped at the chance to get a blogging pass and attend. For anyone that isn't aware this year the Mall invited bloggers from around the South-West to attend for free, in return we were given a pass that allowed us to take as many photos as we liked, receive an awesome goodie bag, indulge in some pampering and be blown away by fabulous runway performances, what more could you possibly want!

***WARNING*** Lots of pictures now!

Told you it was photo heavy! For those that managed to stay and see all the photos thank you! :D
Did you go to BFW? Would you like too?

P.s; if you went and would like to use my photos for your blog post please feel free to use them just credit me with a link to my blog and comment below so I can check your blog out :D
