Wedding and Portrait photography in Yorkshire by Charles Haines Photography

I recently had the priviledge to doing a maternity shoot for a new mum to be called Samantha and I was over the moon to find out that, a week after the shoot, she gave birth to a beautiful boy called Jacob. I want to take this opportunity to wish them all the best with their new addition and I’m looking forward to capturing Jacobs progress over the coming months and even years

We had a great day at Fountains Hall wedding fair on Sunday 17th October as a special thanks goes out to Elizabeth and all the staff for their help on the day (and of course for the refreshments and biscuits). We met some great couples, had a lot of interest in our wedding “photobooth” and great comments from everyone about our wedding photography. I even managed to take a quick photo with my phone of the stand which showcased some of our favourite images from Fountains Abbey weddings this year

We have added an additional section to our online galleries area, offering limited edition prints of various non-wedding related images. All the images are available as individual prints or as framed images and canvas wrapped images. Each image is individually signed by Charles and are limited to 100 copies of each image

Take a look at the gallery at http://www.charleshaines.co.uk/galleries/index.php?category=106

We are happy to announce that our entire range of beautiful custom made frames are available to view and purchase from our online gift and frame shop. This fantastic range of frames is the perfect way to finish off your favourite images and we love them so much, we personally use them at home. They come in a huge range of sizes, mouldings and finishes and of course we have samples available if you would like a closer look.

We will be attending the wedding fair at Fountains Hall, Fountains Abbey this coming Sunday so why not pop along and say hello. We will be showcasing some of our favourite images from weddings at the Abbey over the last few years as well as favourite images form other weddings. The fair starts at 11am in Fountains Hall

Following our latest changes, we are pleased to announce a new range of acrylic frames, available to purchase in our new gift and frame shop http://www.charleshaines.co.uk/galleries/index.php?do=accessories 

These modern looking frames always get mentioned by visitors to our home as we personally have a couple of them on our walls. They come in  variety of sizes, and either utilize a “slot” for each image or our premium range use a solid block of crystal clear acrylic infront of each image. They are simplt stunning to look at and for a limited time, we are including them in our winter special offers, meaning a massive 30% off any frame in the shop. Just enter the code WINTER30 for your discount, not only on these new frames but on our entire range of prints, canvases or contemporary frames (soon to be added to the gift shop but the brochure can be downloaded HERE) 

We have several samples of these acrylic frames so please let us know if you would like to see them in person

Well the new website has finally gone live, along with this blog and a whole load of special offers. In the coming months, I  hope to share some of my favourite images and stories of 2010. In the meantime I would love to hear from eveyone what they think of the new site, if there are any issues and maybe even what you’d like from us in 2011
