2008 diary fully booked Due to the high
demand and number of bookings already placed, I have now
closed the diary for 2008 wedding dates. By limiting the
number of weddings I photograph in each year I can ensure the
same high level of service and quality to all couples. Unlike
a lot of other photographers I only photograph one wedding per
day and anyone booking me for their wedding is safe in the
knowledge that I am the main photographer (Often with a second
shooter) and I don't farm jobs out to other
photographers working on my behalf. |
| October 2007 -
Model shoot for BBC TV |
| As part of a new
television series for BBC3, I was filmed photographing a local
model at Sandal Castle and Hotel St Pierre in Newmillerdam.
The series will focus on new models and talk about their
inspirations and aspirations. More news of screening dates etc
to follow.

White Weddings Magazine
featuring Chris Chambers Photography
The latest edition of White Weddings magazine
includes a featured wedding with photography from myself.
The Autumn edition of the magazine is
available at newsagents, John Lewis and many wedding fayres. |
August 2007 - Bookings limited for 2008
The demand for 2008 wedding dates has been
exceptionally high, like this year I have limited the maximum number
of weddings in 2008 to ensure that all customers receive the high
level of service they deserve. As a result available dates are
becoming increasingly limited and I envisage that I will be closing
the diary for next year within a couple of months.

international aviation magazine Air Forces Monthly features a
front cover image supplied by myself. Hanging upside down in
jets for air to air photography or perched on a rocky ledge

and supply images to the RAF for their publicity and corporate

June 2007 - Hazelwood Castle Recommends Chris Chambers Photography.
Late June I joined the list of recommended
suppliers to the exclusive Hazelwood Castle venue near York. Chris
Chambers Photography is now recommended by the following venues -
Hazelwood Castle, Rogerthorpe Manor, Hodsock Priory, St Pierre Hotel and Burntwood
Court.
May 2007 - BBC1 TV Series 'The Big day' - Photographed by Chris Chambers
'The Big Day' , a new five-part, prime
time television series presented by Nick Knowles will be shown on
BBC1 from June 26th.
Nick Knowles said: "It's
supposed to be the happiest day of your life but very often the
stresses and strains of organisation and family feuds can make it
one of the most trying. We remove the bride and groom from this
stress and ramp up all the pressure on the two families by forcing
them to make all the decisions with all the consequences you would
expect."
The relatives will be
given a helping hand by a team of experts led by Nick Knowles , top
stylist Hannah Sandling and wedding expert James Love . The experts
will be there to ensure that the big day runs smoothly, on time and
on budget, and be better than the happy couple could have imagined
in their wildest dreams.
At the start of the week
Nick meets the bride and groom to learn about their hobbies,
favourite food and colours, personal preferences and outlook. This
crucial meeting will be the happy couple's only input into the
elements chosen by our team.
In the build up to the
show filmed late last year, I was short-listed along with nine other
top photographers from the Yorkshire region, following a series of
interviews and meetings I was chosen as a photographer for the
series and commissioned to photograph Paul and Emily's wedding
taking place at Christchurch Doncaster and then Hodsock Priory near
Blyth, South Yorkshire.
Mar 2007 -YWNG Wedding of the
Year Photographer 2008
Following the success of
this years wedding of the year, the Yorkshire Weekly Newspaper Group
(YWNG) have again chosen me as their photographer for the wedding of
the year 2008. The wedding will be on November 16th 2008 and entry
details are available in the Wakefield Express.
