Lindsay and Gary's preshoot/family photoshoot

A couple of weeks ago I spent a pleasant hour with Lindsay and Gary and their family at St Paul's (a world heritage site!) in Jarrow. Fantastic weather and radiant surroundings promised to be interesting. It doubled with their pre-wedding shoot and created some beautiful family images. What a lovely family!

Pre-wedding shoot August 2013

Pre-wedding shoot

Seaburn. 4pm. 11th August. Tipping down. We thought it was going to be a no-go, but then Seaburn did its thing, the sun burst through and we got to work using the fab scenery and sky to create some beautiful pre-wedding images for Claire and Mick. It was an absolute pleasure to work with such a natural and photogenic couple-superstars!

Recent activity


It's been very quiet here recently... BUT.....watch this space. Have a look at what's been happening recently at Jillian Dixon Photography. Pre-weddings shoots, weddings, parties, barbies (oops thats just my social life... wrong place!)

Under the veil

I found a great events blog with an interesting article about "Questions to ask my...."
Full of helpful things when you just don't quite know what you should be asking your florist, photographer (nudge, nudge that could be me :-)  ) or your caterer etc...

PS: I can confidently answer all of the photographer questions and this comes only from experience and a rapport with a host of clients. Just saying...

Check out the new blogsite. Unfortunately it will make this one a little redundant, but I think it's worth it. Let me know what you think-all suggestions listened to and considered!

Help! My website's gone crazy!!!!

As Google would say..."Well this is embarrassing!"

As my website seems to have developed a mind of its own, this blog is temporarily the main port of call for Jillian Dixon Photography.

Below you'll find a selection of last year's wedding images, and just above that, you'll find some information about packages and prices. If you require any further information, or just fancy a chat about wedding-related things, I can be contacted on 07966 905822.

Simple photography package-no jargon, no albums: quick, simple and extremely professional.

4 hours of photography (ceremony to cutting of the cake)
300 images in full resolution presented fully edited on a DVD for you to print or view on your computer or digital photoframe.
Online gallery

£500

Album package- as above but with a stylish Artemis album-nice and chunky, magnetic closure and top class printing. (ask to view one)

£800

After this, you can add more expensive albums, an iPad loaded with all of your images, albums for your Mum and Dad, Auntie Nora, Gran, gift albums for your bridesmaids and groomsmen, the services of probably the best assistant photographer in the North...the list goes on! Our top price package is £3400, but there are a multitude of "stops" in between. All packages above the entry level album package include 6+ hours of photography to include bridal preparation and speeches if required. Just call for details.

STOP PRESS!!!! For a limited time only, enjoy a free preshoot (1 hour) and choose your favourite image to be presented as a signature frame for your wedding reception. Or you could frame it and give it to your Mum for Christmas...

Alnmouth, August

Getting up at 4 in the morning to set up the perfect sunrise shot isn't for me. I'm an exponent of "What you can do at 11am with one lens", especially when it follows a hilarious beach barbecue in the darkness and ghostly goings on at the Schooner...excellent weekend's work!
