Stonecot
Studios was established in 1982 at Stonecot Hill in Sutton. The studio
is situated at Stonecot Hill on the outskirts of Sutton, between Morden
and North Cheam. The current owner and photographer, Colin Smith has
been based at the studio since 1993. Colin became interested in photography
from a young age in the mid eighties but an earlier photo of Colin
shown here would suggest it started before then!
Colin was in the first year of the new GCSE in 1987 and one of the
new subjects on offer was Photography which of course he took and
sailed through. That was followed with an A level and then a BTEC
National Certificate, all completed with top grades. During the BTEC
course Colin also worked in a photographic shop gaining essential
retail experience, as well as hands on familiarity with all kinds
of cameras and equipment. Of course this was before digital cameras
so he became an expert on removing jammed films and replacing batteries
to the delight of customers who assumed the camera was broken!
From
1993 to the present day Colin has been a full time professional photographer
and became qualified as a Master Photographer in 1995. He specialises
in wedding and portrait photography and has followed the evolution
of styles in those years. From the very traditional posed shots that
were so familiar to everyone from the very beginning of photography
to the more relaxed informal styles of today.
Perhaps it is a reflection of changing fashions or the flexibility
of modern cameras or both, but either way, creative and inspiring
photographs are far more easily attainable which makes the job of
the professional photographer in some ways much harder. Colin combines
his traditional skills in posing and lighting with modern digital
cameras that allows a more spontaneous, reportage approach to create
a well balanced and beautiful set of wedding photographs.
Stonecot Studios offers a range of packages to suit different kinds
of weddings, large and small. There are options for how much of the
day is covered, what kind of album you get and how many photographs
are in the album. There are extras such as parents albums, framed
prints and CD slideshows. At certain times there are special
offers available and if you require something particular that
is not mentioned in a package, just ask.
For more details on the current packages and prices, or if you would
like to arrange a time to pop into the studio for a chat please contact
us. Also, as your special day is so important we have provided
an availability check for the date
of your wedding.

we have covered weddings in almost every church and civil ceremony
venue throughout Worcester Park, Ewell, Banstead, Epsom, Kingston
