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.
