Photographing Food for The London Carriage Works at Hope Street Hotel, Liverpool

I have just had the huge pleasure of photographing Paul Askew, Dave Brewitt and the food of The London Carriage Works, Hope Street Hotel in Liverpool, and I have to say, it was a wonderful experience - not least because of how lovely everyone is at Hope Street Hotel, but I was also lucky enough to sample some of the food and I can confirm ... it's delicious!  This is just a small sample of the photographs we managed to create - Paul and his team are artists!

Rachel and Sam's Spring Wedding at West Tower, Aughton

A slight delay due to computer problems, but well worth the wait! Rachel and Sam had a glorious day for their wedding at West Tower in Aughton. Rachel got ready at Formby Hall and had a bit of peace in her Barrington's car to West Tower where her mum walked her down the aisle to marry Sam.

Since the day I first met Rachel and Sam it's been clear to see there is a lot of laughter in their lives, and their wedding day was no different.  They enjoyed a lovely ceremony at the West Tower, bathed in sunlight, and then had a fabulous jazz band playing in the bar - it was a shame to take everyone outside for the photographs! Rachel and Sam brought together a dream team, with Dominic from Impressions of Formby doing the video, Terry from Barrington's providing the transport, Zoe the chef at West Tower producing her usual amazing food, Ruth from Orchid Blush doing hair and makeup, and of course, yours truly, Zoe Photography doing the photographs!

Here's a sneak peak of the photographs - can't wait to show Rachel and Sam all the selection of pictures for them to relive their happy day!

By the way - please leave us a comment,  we love to hear what people think of the pictures. And don't worry that you don't see your comment immediately as we have the blog set for us to moderate all comments first, so you will see your comment within 24 hours.

Liverpool Echo's Michelle Rushton Enjoys CityShoot Makeover Photo Shoot

Our popular CityShoot Makeover Photo Shoots are getting featured in the Liverpool Echo's Best of Liverpool supplement (shortlisted for the best newspaper supplement, we discovered today - and that's alongside the likes of the Telegraph!). And so today we treated Michelle Rushton from the Liverpool Echo to her very own CityShoot. Michelle is a beautiful woman, but having had her second child recently, she is still getting used to her role as mum of two, and so it was lovely to be able to give her the time out to relax.  We can't wait to show her the selection of photographs, but in the meantime here is a little sneak peak.

New Website for Zoe Photography

We've just launched our new website - and it's all linked to our branding, so we're loving it! We'd love you to visit and we'd love to hear what you think too.

Photographing Beauty in the Zoe Photography Liverpool City Shoots

Being a woman of a certain age (Kathryn will tell me off if I mention that number again!), I've set out to photograph beautiful women of all ages and stages of life. Which has led me to photograph some beautiful women that I know and love. And so it was a great pleasure to photograph the Creative Director of Liverpool's Hope Street Hotel, Mary Colston. She has a beautiful spirit, as well as a natural beauty in her face, and her eyes just sparkle with joy. I'm really looking forward to sharing all her photographs with her, along with the few that we managed to grab with her gorgeous daughter just before we wrapped up. This picture is a rare one in the selection, as she isn't laughing - and I keep hearing her laughter as I work on her photographs. Just perfect!

Zoe Photography donates Makeover Photo Shoot to NWCRF- Making Every Woman Feel Special

Zoe and I had a lovely time at the North West Cancer Research Fund 'Girl's Night In' on Friday night next door at the Resident's Bar at Hope Street Hotel. 


I think what I liked in particular was that a) I got to wear my pyjamas and b) I got to get into bed and with the big cold I had last week it was definitely my type of party!!! I thought I would share with you a few photographs of Zoe and I in bed with the lovely Ruth from Hope Street Hotel. It is rare to see us on the other side of the camera so it was nice that Matt Ford was able to photograph us playing round.

 1 in 3 women are affected by cancer and the NWCRF are doing an incredible job of helping to change lives. As you will probably hear us say (a lot), women are beautiful, women are resilient, women deserve to feel special. Zoe and I were asked to donate some prizes for the best dressed pjs on the evening and we were delighted to be able to do so, and the prize was easy to decide on, our City Shoots. We are in such a privileged position that we get to give women a little pampering with hair styling and make up and a fabulous photoshoot followed by refreshments at the London Carriage Works. Every women needs reminding of how special they are and we love that we get to do that.


Women are beautiful inside and out and we are fortunate to be able to help all types of women see the beauty in themselves again.

March Madness Special Portrait Offer in Liverpool

At Zoe Photography in Liverpool we seldom do special offers for our portrait and CityShoot sessions - why? Well, we think that it's best to be open and honest in business. But feedback from our clients tells us that some of you are unsure about spending £125 on a photo shoot, or £175 on a shoot with hair styling and makeup - it's a risk if you have never had the Zoe Photography experience before. How do you know that you're going to love having your photograph taken, how can you know that the experience of having your photograph taken by Zoe is more than just having your picture taken, how can you know that this will be one of the most amazing experiences of your life? How can you know? So it's a risk, isn't it? 

Well, we have taken that risk away - we are doing a March Madness not-to-be-missed special offer!

What's the deal with Zoe Photography in Liverpool, then?  Let's celebrate motherhood! Throughout March you can buy a CityShoot Single for just £25 which buys you the shoot with a little bit of pampering with hair and makeup and a 6x4 print (worth £250).  Most of us have more fun being with our closest friends and family - let's face it, we women seldom shop alone, drink coffee alone, go to the toilet alone, so why be photographed alone? How about our CityShoot Duo for £45 which buys you the shoot, a little bit of pampering for both of you, and a 6x4 print for each of you (worth £450). 

How can we do this at such an amazing price? Because we know you will enjoy the whole experience - you will enjoy the relaxation of being pampered, you will love being photographed (honestly, we know you will love being photographed by Zoe), you will love love love the photographs when you see them, you will feel fabulous and you will look great. How do we know this? Because our clients tell us - and we know you are beautiful - you just forgot that you're beautiful, you've been listening to the wrong people, those people who want to bring you down just because you ARE beautiful.

Buy this for your mum, your nan, your sister, yourself (and guys, don't forget the wife!). For the Duo, which is such a great deal, buy it for your mum and his mum, your mum and your nan, your wife and your daughter, your sisters, your mother-in-law and her daughters, your daughters, your bestfriends.

And because we know you're going to find it hard to resist buying everything, well, everything you buy on the day of your ordering session comes with 20% off, or if you can't make up your mind there and then, don't worry, we will give you a 24 hour gallery (at a time in the next 7 days that suits you) and you get 10% off all purchases from your gallery.  On Facebook? Then like our Facebook business page and we will give you the photograph you choose as a Facebook ready photo.

But don't wait long to take up this offer - we announced it at the weekend on Facebook and everything is going crazy, so email us now before we close the offer down!  Or call 0151 708 5838 to talk to Kathryn or Zoe about how we work.
