” Aldeburgh at it’s finest! Despite somewhat inclement weather, Aldeburgh did what it does best and rose above the rain and wind to put on a spectacular show at Proms by the Sea. Thank you to everyone who stopped by at our stand – it was lovely to see so many people having a great time. We have a special Jubilee Offer on – 2 of our beautiful landscape mounted prints for £50! Please call or pop into the gallery to take advantage of this ‘majestic’ offer! ”
Wonderful Experience with Tony Pick
A most enjoyable portrait shoot on the beach at the weekend, lots of fun and laughter made for a great family birthday shoot. Thanks Tracy, Dave and family.
Here’s what Tracy H said:
“Wonderful experience with Tony Pick for family portraits on the beach at Aldeburgh, covering three generations of our family. Ranging from 8 – over 70 years everyone was put at ease, kept engaged and included in the process of the shoot. The images look AMAZING in the viewing and we can’t wait to see the end results in their frames. Cannot rate his style, approach and end results highly enough, and really appreciated his patience taking us all through the images and options, so many great shots to choose from! Thoroughly recommended for truly special photographic images both quirky and traditional.”
Viv and Gary’s Wedding
Viv and Gary had a beautiful wedding in Woodbridge and The Brudenell Hotel and were kind enough to invite us to take their wedding photographs. They were kinder still and have allowed us to share some of them on our blog.
We were honoured to be a small part of their special day and very pleased to meet their lovely girls and lovely families!
If you would like your wedding captured in timeless and beautiful photographs, please call us on 01728 451999.
Amazing Couple, Amazing Day!! Beautiful Wedding yesterday in Aldeburgh…..
Morning lizzie and tony,
Happy Easter! We were just sat in the hotel enjoying our scrambled eggs and smoked salmon breakfast and reflecting on our fab day yesterday, and just wanted to thank you both for the brilliant photos. Having the pictures on the beach (which is what I’d wanted right from the start) was just perfect so thank you both.
Can’t wait to see the pictures very soon :0)
Have a very happy Easter – we’ve got a hotel picnic and we’re going to fly our kites on dunwich Heath!
Beautiful babies!
What could be better on a rainy day than getting the baby photographs out and having a good look through at your precious little one?
If you have recently had a baby or know someone who has, why not treat them (or yourself) to a baby photo shoot? Tony will, in a very relaxed manner, take the most beautiful shots of your tiny bundle which you will treasure forever!
Call us now on 01728 451999 to book your shoot. Go on, treat yourself………
Forest Friday Wetland Project
It’s forest friday and this week we turn our attention to the wetland project. From what started out as a visualization of a much needed watering hole for the forest wildlife, we are now at the construction stage.
Huge numbers of ponds have been lost in the countryside, about a third have disappeared in the last 50 years and those remaining are mostly in a poor condition for wildlife. The pond will improve the natural character of the forest environment and conserve and enhance the areas natural beauty. The pond design is very irregular with different depth profiles and gently sloping banks which will allow habitat for many varied species, essential for biodiversity in the area and will create a unique habitat in a forest environment.
We are involving the Suffolk Wildlife trust to advise on planting schemes and local wildlife expert Malcolm Farrow is helping with biodiversity/wildlife advice.
The project will vastly improve this area and increase the enjoyment of outstanding natural beauty that will be sustainable for the future. The area is very dry and there are no other natural ponds in the forest so this water will benefit :
Birds- source of drinking water/washing. We are also hoping to attract water birds but consider the value to smaller birds more importrant and hope to introduce sand martins to the sandy cliff.
Snakes and amphibians – grass snakes, frogs and toads, newts. There are ponds on the sandlings that have great-crested newts so we are hoping to attract them too.
Invertebrates – beetles, pond skaters, water boatman, dragon and damselflies
Mammals – we have fallow deer which will use the pond
All forest users but most especially bird watchers and wildlife enthusiasts will benefit from this exciting project, and we hope you will follow it’s progress.
Have a great weekend…
The Workshop exceeded our expectations!
Just wanted to say thank you for 2 very enjoyable and rewarding mornings in Aldeburgh. Thanks to for being so accommodating with young Rowan. The workshops exceeded our expectations and we both feel reasonably confident to try out the techniques and idea’s you gave us. We expect we’ll be back in Aldeburgh in the not distant future and will call in on your shop then.
Best wishes
Dom, Mitch, Rowan.
Another succesful workshop!
Had a fantastic morning with Dominic and Mitch and as a special extra we also had baby Rowan who is only 11 weeks old. He was very well behaved, as were his parents! Looking forward to seeing you all in two weeks for the 2nd part of your landscape and portrait workshop.

A magical Sunday on Aldeburgh beach. Reminded me of my childhood, the excitement of capturing those wonderful snow scenes before it all melted away in the warming sun.
Must dig out my old Nikon FM and put a roll of film through it one of these days!
As noon approached and still a chilly -2°C on the beach, the clouds finally receded to transform the landscape into a beautiful playground as so often happens when we get snow. The soft pastels resembled a beautiful watercolour.
As I was about to take the frame, a family strolled into my picture to add life and fun as they enjoyed a good snowball fight. Click! and the image was frozen – both in mind and in print.
