Olympic Torch Relay

23rd of May 2012 what an exciting day in Cirencester!

On this beautiful sunny day, an estimated 8,000 people turned out to watch the Olympic Torch make its way through the town, different generations lined the streets waving their flags, the atmosphere was buzzing with laughter and cheers. In the Abbey grounds live music was played through out the day, people sat enjoying the sunshine and listened to the great music being played. 

Paul was out and about through out the day to capture the events on this glorious day

Row your boat....

We had a fantastic time when  Maria organised for her and her five Sisters, Brother, and two nieces plus Partners to have a photo shoot to surprise their mum for her birthday, it was a great atmosphere and they were happy to pose away!

It was great fun getting the little ones to smile, everyone had to sing "row row" it was like having a choir in the studio! I lost count how many times we sang the song....

"Row, row, row your boat gently down the stream,

 merrily, merrily, merrily life is but a dream.

 Row, row, row your boat gently down the stream,

 if you see a crocodile don't forget to scream!"

"Fantastic job guys, really enjoyed today. Have never felt so relaxed or enjoyed having my own photo taken up until now thanks to capture every moment. Brilliant photography just want to buy the whole lot!!" Kelly

"If you fancy having some really nice pics done i highly suggest capture every moment photography studio so check them out!!!" Maria

Thought I would share this editorial with you as featured in a local magazine in Cirencester.

Business Profile Carissa Jones and Paul Johns.

Capture Every Moment Photography & Video

Carissa Jones began her photographic and video company ’Capture Every Moment’ three years  ago in 2009 in partnership with her dad Paul Johns, an award winning photographer. Although the business was Carissa’s idea originally, they have always worked successfully together as a father / daughter team. They started off based in the family home in South Cerney, but despite the recession the business has grown steadily and they have recently taken a lease on a lovely and well situated studio just off Cirencester town centre in Templar Mews, Black Jack Street. It is loft like with Cotswold oak beams which make a great quirky background for indoor shoots. Their clients have remarked on its welcoming atmosphere, especially for the youngsters who feel very relaxed, but that’s probably in no small part because Carissa is a qualified Nursery Nurse who is very experienced in bringing the best out of children! She will always try and work her magic with them and this may include throwing balls at Paul, singing a song or two, even roaring like a lion....generally acting the clown! And it works.Carissa has over six years experience in the business. She has been trained by Paul, who’s had a camera in his hand since he was 16, but the videography is self-taught with guidance from a friend. They specialise in weddings, events and portraits, and Carissa looks after the admin and the business side of things too.Weddings often bring surprises, both good and bad. One time they discovered that groomsmen will do anything for the camera – even a back flip against a wall. Another time they were hired to film a wedding, alongside a different photographer, when half way through the wedding the photographer threw a strop and walked out! Paulseamlessly stepped into the breach as photographer to help the bride and groom out, thus saving the day. “The wedding was a success and they had free photos from us!" says Carissa.
