Wedding Flash Photography- Images from Brett Harkness Training Course, Sal Norris Photography, Wedding Photographer Chester

On Monday I took a bit of time out to re-invest in my business and better myself ahead of a busy couple of months of Winter Weddings. As one of the country's leading Wedding Photographers, who better to learn from than Manchester based Brett Harkness.

I booked myself onto his one day Wedding Flash course and I arrived at his studio to be met with a warm welcome, both from Brett and wife Kristie and the other photographers attending the course. The morning was studio based theory and then after a hearty lunch we went out on location around Media City opposite the new BBC Studios in Manchester.

I thoroughly enjoyed the day, would highly recommend it to anyone looking to pick up new lighting skills. Im delighted to share a few of my images from the day and look forward to putting my new skills into action. As this style of photography is a bit of a diversion from my very natural style, I'd be interested to know what you think!

November Wedding with Sunshine, Emma & Paul's Cheshire Wedding, Sal Norris Photography, Wedding Photographer Chester, Cheshire

Who'd have thunk it hey? 5th November, Bonfire Night and this year it was a glorious day for Emma & Paul's Wedding.

Every bonfire night I can remember, I've spent the evening in my wellies and bobble hat trudging through a field of squelchy mud with the expectation of seeing a Disney style spectacle, and alas being disappointing when the local village display never quite measures up.

This year on Bonfire night, Emma & Paul's party was in full swing at Willington Hall after a beautiful Church service and a wonderful afternoon on the lawn enjoying the crisp winter sunshine.

As you know, I dont have time to blog every Wedding I cover, however Im sharing some pictures from this one as I simply couldnt believe the weather.

Hope you enjoy taking a look. Please visit my website for more information about my Wedding, Baby and Family Photography

WARNING: CUTE PICTURES! Baby Florence 10 days 'new', Baby Photographer Chester, Sal Norris Photography

Go on, try not to ooh and ahhh over these!!

Baby Florence, just 10 days new and as cute as can be :-)

As you'll know from my post last week, Ive recently launched my new styled baby photography photo shoots. I come out to your home and bring all of the little hats, headbands, blankets and wraps with me so that you can choose which you'd like to use for your shoot. Of course, I will always keep my natural style when photographing babies so that the shoot is nice and relaxed.

I'm not going to ask you to put baby in a fruit bowl or anything odd like that, however you will have the choice of the most adorable hats, headbands, coloured wraps and blankets made from the finest soft organic yarn. Dont worry there are gorgeous little hats for boys too!

If you are expecting or know someone that is, make sure you tell them to take a look at my work. My business is built on recommendation

Celebrate the dress Photoshoot-Wedding Photographer Chester, Sal Norris Photography

Over the last couple of years there has been a new craze in Wedding Photography, a post wedding 'Trash the dress' photoshoot where the bride pops on that beautiful dress she paid a fortune for and jumps in a river, rolls in the mud, runs through a field, really any manner of things that you would never have dreamt of doing in your beautiful dress on the day of your wedding.

Now then, Im not knocking those shoots, go for your life and have fun in your dress and achieve the images you have in your mind. That really is my point in writing this post...The ability to achieve the images you have in your mind. For some of you, that may be you and your hubby in a horse and cart, for others a kiss on the lawn of a country manor. For Kirsty, it was images of her in her princess like wedding dress at a castle (or something close to it)......plus in pink shoes, blowing bubbles and a number of other things too!

Kirsty and Adam married in April and six months to the day later she put her beautiful Wedding dress back on for a 'Celebrate the dress photoshoot' where she could have fun with all the props, poses and backdrops that she wanted, without the time constraints of her wedding day.

Seeing the smile on Kirsty's face the moment she had her dress back on, made me remember that special feeling you have in your dress from the very first moment you try it on in the shop. What a great idea to put it on again and have some fun in it, achieving images you've always dreamt of.

Here is a little selection of the images from Kirsty's Celebrate the dress photoshoot

Baby Photography-NEW styled shoots from Sal Norris Photography, Baby Photographer Chester

Ive been waiting a little while to launch an exciting new concept in Baby photography.

I will always keep my natural style when photographing babies and of course I still go out to clients houses so that baby has the best experience possible and the shoot is nice and relaxed...However, Im excited to launch my styled baby photography where the most adorable little props are used.

I'm not going to ask you to put baby in a fruit bowl or anything odd like that, however you will have the choice of the most adorable hats, headbands, coloured wraps and blankets made from the finest soft organic yarn. Dont worry there are gorgeous little hats for boys too!

Here are some taster shots from my shoot with Baby India who is just 9 days 'new' and such a little beauty.

If you are expecting or know someone that is, make sure you tell them to take a look at my work.

Let me know what you think!

Leila's Photoshoot, A must see Children's Photography shoot, Sal Norris Photography, Chester, Cheshire, Tarporley

Check out the most adorable photoshoot of the beautiful little Leila.

Im so busy right now and have been a little stressed after finding that another photographer is copying all of the wording from my website and Blog posts. I thought hey, imitation is the biggest compliment and she obviously thinks Im very good, so 'Thank you'

So today when I set out to Leila's photoshoot, I had an extra spring in my step to be the best photographer I can be.

See what you think of the pictures of Leila below. We spent an hour on location in Tarporley, Cheshire. Leila is a natural in front of the camera and fueled by Skittles, I think she did a great job.

If you would like me to take beautiful pictures of your little ones, you know what to do!

Christmas Gift Idea!, Winter Photography, Gift Vouchers, Portrait Photographer, Family, Children's Photographer, Chester, Sal Norris Photography

A quick post for all of the super organised that are starting to think about Christmas presents. Now there is no doubting that the recession has hit hard for lots of families this year and for many that has meant giving up or missing out on all non essential purchases.

Professional photographs of family, loved ones, children may well have been a cost that you or your friends and family just didnt manage to find the budget for. Images of your loved ones are an investment, a lasting gift that provides happy memories for years to come. You dont eat it up, use it until its gone or wear it out. The moments and memories last so it makes a wonderful gift.

Sal Norris Photography Gift vouchers can be provided for any amount from £20 and come beautifully presented in a gift box (see picture below).

Vouchers are valid for up to 12 months so the recipient can choose if they would like a Winter, Spring, Summer or Autumn photo shoot. Every Season is popular now and every shoot is unique as it takes place at a location of your choice.

Get in touch for more info and to discuss a Gift Package that will provide a lasting and meaningful gift for your friends and family

A beautiful Gift Box is provided with every voucher purchased


Winter Photography is great, all wrapped up and warm, having fun out and about, just take a look at this little selection of images from my shoots last Autumn/Winter.

George is a member of the Sal Norris Photography Baby club, which includes 3 professional photo shoots over 12 months. Its great value and such a special gift to capture the changes from birth to a year old. Get in touch if you'd like more information about how to join.
