Krissa and Matt - March 2011!

When in St Lucia in March, we met Krissa and Matt, two enthusiasts of a rather fascinating exercise practice combining Acrobatics and Yoga by name of (wait for it) Acro-yoga!!

Having befriended the couple (I don't think they minded too much!!) and having heard about it from some of the staff at Le Sport, I arranged to meet with the couple on the beach at sunset. Altho the light disappeared quickly, I think we caught some crackers and am pleased to have finally finished working on the images so I can now blog them!!

So here are a few of my favourites.

It really was amazing to watch the way Matt was able to rotate and manipulate Krissa's body with his feet and the balance and control Krissa had over her body was fascinating. Her trust and ability to be lead by her man (which for all women is no mean feat) was incredible and I could not stop snapping away.

Just like the number of poses they kept orchestrating, I had so many images to choose from but settled eventually for these few.

Krissa and Matt, it was a pleasure and there are plenty more where these come from so will send you details as soon as I've uploaded them to your gallery.

All the best,

A new business venture: FREE makeover AND photoshoot!!

My best friend has been painting faces for years. I don't mean clowns and cats and dogs oh my! I mean she has been beautifying friends and family since she could hold a lip liner!! In my opinion she is a fabulous makeup artist and I trust her eye and judgement so much that I asked her to do my makeup for the biggest day of my life last year; my wedding. As I knew she would, she did a fantastic job and has finally decided to unveil her new business venture FLAWES.

After some thought, we decided who better to be a model than Fi herself. So we set up the studio one afternoon and decided to have a little fun. Fi is not a big fan of the camera but I'm pleased to say we had a real laugh and I think she looks fabulous!! Take a look and let us know what you think.

Fi's business specialises in confidence boosting makeovers and to broaden her portfolio, we are looking for models with a difference. We are offering a FREE joint MAKEOVER and headshot PHOTOSHOOT for those who feel in need of a little more self-belief.

So if you know someone who would love the opportunity to model but hasn't got the self-assurance to put themselves forward or if you or someone you know feels they aren't pretty enough, slim enough, or even young enough to model, send them our way so we can prove to them that they're wrong!!

To book in for the Flawes treatment, contact Fi here or Emma-Lou here. We look forward to hearing from you!!

Headshots, family portrait, event and wedding photography also available from Emma-Louise Walton Photography. Email or call us on 07709146954.

All the best,

Alisha and Andrej - Saint Lucia, March 2011 - Part 2!!

One of the great things about this couple was that they were up for anything. Despite being due to leave the Island of Saint Lucia later that day, these two were perfectly happy to run through the sea in their wedding gear!! Below are a few more of my favourite images for their shoot!

We started the shoot early in the morning so as to capture the sun as it rose and shone across the resort. I had spotted the hammock in previous passing and was itching to utilise it. Lucky for me, Alisha and Andrej were perfectly happy to give anything a go.

The blushing bride :) Alisha looking beautiful, natural and very happy to have married her prince!

Despite being horrible sunburnt on his back, Andrej was more than happy to carry his wife for the photos amidst my exclamations that it really wasn't necessary! Talk about dedicated to the cause!!

And a favourite one to end with....

Thanks again guys!! It was a pleasure!! I'll be in touch with gallery details!

If you, or someone you know are planning a destination holiday, then why not consider taking a photographer you can trust with you? Emma-Louise Walton Photography is available to travel internationally as well as working in the UK and is dedicated to capturing that very special day!

For more information on wedding, portrait or event photography, email Emma-Lou here or give us a call on 07709146954.

We look forward to hearing from you.

All the very best!!

Alisha and Andrej - Saint Lucia, March 2011 - Part 1!

Some of you may be aware that I recently returned from Le Sport, The Body Holiday, in Saint Lucia, the spa and holiday resort. But it wasn't all fun and games!!

I met Alisha and Andrej properly a couple of days after they got married on the island for some photos on the beach in the glorious sunshine. It was a real laugh and a pleasure to be able to shoot with some lovely people and in such an incredible location.

Below, I've blogged a few images (and intend to blog a few more in Part 2 later this week as I get round to working on them). Take a look and feel free to let us know what you think!

Thanks again guys!! It was a real laugh and I hope you like the photos!! I'll be in touch with your gallery password! Check back soon for Part 2!

If you like what you see and wish to enquire with us about availability for your wedding, email us here or give Emma-Lou a call on 07709146954.

All the best,
