It’s been a quiet few months at Ben Goode Photography, but the wedding season is just about to begin for us. The days are getting warmer and brighter at last.
Photos from the wedding of James and Gemma Harvey are now ready to view in the client area. You will need a password to access the gallery, friends and family of James and Gemma please feel free to email me for the password.
Some of you may already know that I am now working part-time at Intermedia Solutions, as a commercial photographer and web designer. Based in Romsey, Hampshire they specialise in supporting large organisations that value the importance of effective communication, but lack the in-house resource to deliver.
My initial two months at the company have been excellent. Since joining I have worked on photography projects for Staples and B&Q, and have designed, built and launched the new website for Intermedia. Phase one of the website can be seen here.
For the next year I will continue to run Ben Goode Photography on a part-time basis, offering Wedding and Portrait photography. All commercial photography will now be undertaken through Intermedia, as it is my ambition to setup a full photographic studio working for the clients that Intermedia boast on their portfolio. Working for Intermedia has already given me exposure to large global corporates, which I would have not experienced otherwise. Being a part of a strong and experienced team, in a very fast paced working environment will really give my development an edge, compared to the past agencies I have worked for, or could go and work for. I am very excited about launching and developing the businesses new media offering, and of course photography. As an individual I want to grow in experience and skill, it’s refreshing to work in an organisation that wants to do the same.
In March next year Ben and Jenna at Ben Goode Photography will be running the Southampton Sport Relief mile. It’s the first charity event for the company, they’ll both be running the three mile circuit and are looking to raise at least £100. If you’d like to donate/sponsor their run please do so here – http://www.mysportrelief.com/ben_jen. The money you give will help people living incredibly tough lives both at home in the UK and across the world’s poorest countries. Thank you for all your support!
If you’d like to join us and run alongside, please register here, or come along and support us at the side lines, make sure you bring a camera and take some photographs.
See you there!
On Saturday I hired the photographic studio at Lightbox Studios in Southampton, for a family shoot of four brothers and sisters. It was the first time I’ve hired the studio in Southampton, I was really impressed with the setup and friendly nature of the business.
We spent an hour of fun and laughter in the studio, which produced some fantastic results.
If you would like to book a fun portrait session for you and your friends or family in the Southampton studio, please take a look at our portrait packages and prices.
At the beginning of the month my Dad, John Goode and one of the two lead photographers at Ben Goode Photography relocated to Portishead in Bristol. As a result we can no longer offer our two photographer package to new customers, this may also effect 1 or 2 existing customers for 2010. If we have not already contacted you regarding this, then please do not be concerned.
Back in October we were kindly given a testimonial from the parents of Bev Wood for the wedding photography of their daughter in early October. Last week we received another testimonial for the same wedding, this time from the bide and groom themselves.
To read their words and thoughts on the standard of wedding photography Ben Goode Photography delivers please take a look at our testimonials page.
Last Sunday I had a photoshoot in Portsmouth, we went to the historic sea front and considering the time of year had beautiful weather! We had some great locations to work with. Below is one of my favourite photographs from the shoot.
If you live in Portsmouth and are keen to get some portrait photographs of you, your friends and family; take a look a our portrait packages we offer.
Thank you to both Phil and Pam for their Testimonial for the wedding of their Daughter Beverly. You can read their words on our wedding photography testimonials page.
Yesterday I had the opportunity to go up the Clock Tower of the Southampton Civic Centre. The tower was built in the 1930’s, and it a steel frame structure. To get to the top we climbed over 200 steps on multiple spiral staircases.
The view from the top looking out accross the city of Southampton was excellent. I took four shots from the top story, facing North, East, South and West. Below is the first photography I’ve processed. Let me know if you’d like a large formar print.
