Damien Lovegrove
Damien learned his trade as a cameraman and lighting director during 14 years at the BBC, working on programmes such as the Clothes Show, Top of the Pops and Casualty. Days off from filming were often spent taking photographs for a variety of top name clients including Peugeot, Motorola, and Adidas.

Then Julie made an entrance in his life and he realised that photography wasn't the only thing he was passionate about! She comes a very close second (yes, that is a joke) and anyone who has met Damien can't fail to be inspired and motivated by his enthusiasm for his second career. So much so that once you get him started on a subject it's hard to shut him up...

Fifteen years on, Damien has become one of the foremost trainers of photography and entrepreneurial business strategies in our industry. A published writer and regular columnist, Damien has traveled the globe sharing his knowledge and expertise. 

NEWS: The Guild of Photographers has given it's ultimate accolade, that of 'Master of the Craft' to Damien Lovegrove in recognition of his skills and commitment to the art of photography and the training thereof. The award has only been given to 5 other photographers throughout the world! 

Julie Lovegrove
When Damien left the security of the BBC, she panicked for a weekend, then helped him to establish their business, gradually becoming more and more involved. Whilst she still continues to run the administrative side to Lovegrove Photography, she is now also a fully-fledged photographer in her own right.  For a few years she kept expecting to be 'found out' but having been a top wedding photographer she also now specialises in photographing women and babies.

Blaise
Blaise joined us in April 2009, initially to cover Laura's maternity leave. We were delighted to be able to keep her on and also have Laura back part time. Blaise has a wealth of customer service experience, having trained as a Beauty Therapist at the famous Champneys Resort, which then led to a fabulous job flying the world with Virgin Atlantic. Working only in Upper Class she treated the rich and famous, but has now returned to her roots in sunny Nailsea!  Blaise is always cheerful and will answer your phone calls with a smile :)  Oh, and she also just happens to be Julie's daughter :)

Luke
Luke is now an invaluable member of our team. He is a talented illustrator and has also risen to the challenge of learning how to handle all the nuances and glitches of our new website and blog. There is a frequent cry of ' Luuuuke' here, and a few moments later calm is restored :)  Examples of his illustration skills grace the pages of this website and our blog.

Marko
Having been with us since 2003 Marko has spread his wings and is now working as a freelance photoshop trainer and editor. He can still be regularly found at the Lovegrove Studio but can also be contacted directly if you wish. marko@markonurminen.com

Laura
We are delighted that Laura returned to us after her Maternity Leave. She now works 3 days a week, and her main responsibility is organizing and looking after our online shop. She will also be answering the phone and stepping back into her original role when Blaise is otherwise engaged or on holiday.
