Morag's photography is just spectacular.

Dawn Wilkins Photography

We’re thrilled that Dawn Wilkins will be exhibiting at our next Fair in March. Bristol Vintage know Dawn well; last year she was our very own Fair photographer, documenting the day and running the classic car and fashion shoots. She’s also a photographer who’s really inspired us and we’ve been proudly featuring her beautiful vintage-inspired weddings and gorgeous family portraits ever since.

Dawn Wilkins specialises in wedding and portrait photography and she also offers engagement shoots and hen dos.  Imagine a photoshoot somewhere like Goldbrick House with tea and cake and an optional makeover by a local makeup artist all followed by a fun photo session.  It’s great practise for posing on the actual wedding day and Dawn’s friendly and warm approach enables her to capture people at their most natural.

Dawn’s website details the wedding and civil ceremony packages she offers which include an optional engagement photo shoot before the wedding, post production and retouching of all photographs, all photos on a disc in high resolution, plus a DVD slideshow of 100-150 best photos set to music
. Dawn also offers gorgeous wedding albums; magazine style photo books in hardback with dust jackets.

It’s that natural, comfortable, organic feel that marks out Dawn as a photographer that people come back to time and again. Most recently she was out in Helsinki (she’ll travel where she’s needed!) then back at Sheldon Manor for another fabulous vintage-inspired wedding.  She’s been booked solid for her family and baby portrait sessions and these really are something special.  Dawn will visit you at home to get those gorgeously cute pictures of your children that you’ll treasure forever.

Check out the gallery on her website and blog.  You can also find her on Twitter, Facebook and on March 10^th, she’ll be at the Fair!

Inspiring Us - Dawn Wilkins Photography

You can’t have missed Dawn Wilkins’ gorgeous pictures.  Whether you’ve been browsing this site or if you were one of the many guests at our Bristol Vintage Wedding Fair in February, Dawn was the photographer who captured all things wedding and vintage on the day and we’ve been proudly featuring the images since. 

Dawn specialises in wedding and portrait photography and she also arranges wonderful makeover parties, perfect for a hen do.  She’s so warm and friendly that whether you’re a couple on your engagement shoot or introducing the newest member of your family with a portrait shoot, Dawn’s approach will capture you at your most natural. 

 

It’s that natural, comfortable, organic feel that marks out Dawn as a photographer that people come back to time and again.  Only last weekend the groom’s brother booked his own wedding with her and another guest booked their children in for a family shoot.  These portraits sessions are something rather special as Dawn prefers not to use a studio, instead visiting the family at home or having the children run about in nearby woodlands or the local park.  It’s this little bit more that gets those gorgeously cute pictures of your children that you’ll really treasure.

For the wedding and civil ceremonies Dawn offers a number of packages including an optional engagement photo shoot before the wedding, post production and retouching of all photographs, all photos on a disc in high resolution, plus a DVD slideshow of 100-150 best photos set to music
.  Also available are some gorgeous wedding albums; magazine style photo books in hardback with dust jackets. 

Her website has just had a lovely spring/summer revamp with wonderful single, family and kids portraits (perfect to follow a wedding!) as well as wedding photos from engagement through to the last man standing. Do check out the gallery.  You can also contact her through her website, find her on Twitter, Facebook and on her blog.

Documentary Image

Morag MacDonald is a respected and multi-award winning documentary photographer, specialising in beautiful portrait photography, wedding photo-journalism and film stills. In November she was honoured to win all 3 annual titles in her MPA region; that’s Portrait Photographer of the Year', 'Wedding Photographer of the Year', and 'Overall Photographer of the Year 2011'. 

Photography for Morag is so much more than a job – it’s a way of life.   Her inspiration comes from observing the way light moves across a landscape or catches in a child's eye. It’s her passion and when she’s not taking photographs, she’s running training courses, lecturing in Photography or planning her next shoot, be it a wedding, a family portrait session or boudoir photography. Her unique wedding photos are a mixture of gentle reportage photography and more dramatic fashion influenced imagery. Her experience and skill with lighting allows her to create wonderful mood and drama.    One look at her brilliant website and you’ll be captivated by the images she can produce. 

Her style is natural, simple, stylish and fresh and she works in a gentle unobtrusive way, preferring to remain unnoticed.  Being based in Bristol means Morag is in the perfect location to carry out wedding photography in Somerset, Wiltshire, Gloucestershire and throughout the Cotswolds.  She regularly photographs weddings in Devon and Cornwall as well as Wales, and is happy to travel further afield and abroad.  Her beautiful studio is nestled in the heart of Paintworks, Bristol's dynamic new creative quarter. It’s conveniently situated on the A4 Bath Road, very close to Temple Meads Train Station.  The studio is open for makeovers, fashion and boudoir photography. 

Morag’s beautiful bridal boudoir photography and sensual art nudes are all part of Bristol Boudoir Photography.  When you visit the studio for an ultimate boudoir photography session, you’re greeted with a glass of bucks fizz, an hour of pampering with the makeup artist and treated to a 2-hour photography session with Morag.  The visits are by appointment only, so your time remains undisturbed and private in a safe all-female environment.  These shoots are ideal for hen nights, giving you an opportunity to have a little fun and purchase stunning images looking your very best.  The studio can accommodate you and a party of up to 4 friends and they’ll make it a fun occasion.

Come and talk through your wedding ideas with Morag at the fair. She’ll have albums of work to show you and is offering £100 discount for visitors who book on the day.  Till then, check out the wonderful images on the website and sign up to the Facebook page to be kept informed of offers.  You can contact Morag or Jo at Documentary Image,
