Phil Bunt LBIPP
Cornish-born Phil Bunt has been taking photos for as long as he can recall and began his professional career over ten years ago before digital imaging had become the most popular form of image capture.
Literally thousands of Phil's photos have been published in newspapers and magazines around the region and he has photographed dozens of weddings as well as having shot numerous individual and family portraits in both the studio and on location.
In 2008 he was presented with an Award of Merit by the British Institute of Professional Photographers in their annual photo competition in the wedding photography section.
"Enjoying working with people and putting them at their ease is the most important element in getting great images" says Phil who lives in Newquay with his wife and three children. "I love what I do and that's something which is very important too - how you feel about your work shows to others and they respond accordingly."
Carolyn Oakley BA (Hons) ABIPP
During her late teens CAROLYN OAKLEY was asked to take photos at a friend's wedding. Little did she know that several years later she would be taking photos at weddings professionally.
A few years after the birth of her second daughter she decided to return to college and, as she always loved art and photography, decided that would be the route to take. As well gaining a BA (Hons) in Photography at University College Falmouth she achieved a HND in Photography and Digital Imaging.
She was also gaining practical experience taking images professionally and this experience now goes back over 9 years.
Carolyn's work has been recognised by the British Institute of Professional Photographers where she is an associate member and in 2008 she won the prestigious Western Region Portrait Photographer of the Year award and achieved an Award of Merit in the Press and PR section.
"My approach to capturing an image is my ability to put people at ease" says Carolyn. "Treating them with respect, being patient and making them feel special so that they can relax and have fun!"
Carolyn and Phil teamed up professionally after they developed a mutual respect and appreciation for each others work. Their decision to concentrate on excellence in wedding and portrait photography, sits alongside their continuing to provide a media/press, events and affiliates service through Cornwall-Photos.com.
