Successful Wedding Fayre

Had great day at Walton Hall Wedding Fayre on Sunday.

Thanks to the lovely Laura and Sam for booking us on the day for their Wedding in December.

Some other lovely couples came to see and we’ll hopefully be meeting up in the next week to see if we might be able to help them celebrate their big day by capturing stunning images for them to remember it for posterity.

Pinterest

Lots of people have started to upload and share images on the Pinterest.com web site where it is possible to pin images for future reference and to share favourites.

What might be a concern for those whose photography is their only or main source of income is the following clause in their terms and conditions.

Now I’m no legal expert but that sounds to me like something of a rights grab even though they don’t claim any ownership.

So if you use Pinterest and upload images make sure that you are prepared to lose control of their distribution and are quite happy for someone else to sell them.

Surprise Wedding Booking – Five Months On!

Had only just sat down after the Wedding Fayre on Sunday and was working out the list of follow-up calls I had to make when my phone rang.

It was a really lovely surprise call from a Bride to be we first met at the Walton Hall Wedding Fayre back in September last year.

She had been visiting lots of Wedding Fayres over Winter and had just returned from the latest at the Daresbury Park Hotel in Warrington.

Despite all the hours spent trawling round different venues and photographers they came to the conclusion that, almost five months on, we stood out from all the others in what we were able to offer them.

I visited them yesterday and they have booked us for their big day photography at the Parish Church and Mere Court Hotel, one of the most beautiful venues in Cheshire.

Needless to say it provided a perfect end to a long and busy day when that call came in.

Thanks Kimberley and Scott – we are really looking forward to your big day and capturing the emotions and memories for posterity in your beautiful Wedding album.

 

Today’s Wedding Fayre at the Ramada Encore in Haydock

Chilling out after a busy afternoon at the Keedays Wedding Fayre at the Ramada Encore Hotel in Haydock.

Lots of lovely Brides to be came to speak with us and booked consultations.

Busy couple of weeks ahead with follow up meetings and hopefully quite a few more bookings right into 2014!

Our next Wedding Fayre is at Walton Hall in beautiful Walton Gardens in Warrington on Sunday 26th February. Come and talk to us about your special day and see the range of albums and special offers we have on the day.

Remember the date and venue just in case someone pops the question on Tuesday!

More Mother’s Day photo gift ideas for Grandparents

We all struggle to think what to give as a gift on Mother’s Day, especially as our Mums get older and seem to have almost everything.

Rather than do the same old same old this year why not have us create a multi image photo frame for you to give to them?

We will spend an hour with you capturing a variety of shots that can then be mounted in a multiple image frame to take pride of place in their home.

Photographs that capture emotions and moments in time that can never be recreated are among the most personal gifts that you can give.

With prices starting from £150 bookings are filling fast so why not give us a call and arrange a really special present for Mother’s Day.

How many people struggle deciding what to buy as a Mother’s Day present? It’s on March 18th for those who don’t know!

We’re offering a one hour photo shoot at home or at some favourite local spot with a photo of your choice edited and mounted on either a 20″x16″ canvas or as a framed print for only £135.
