Google+ Or Minus?

2012-04-27T14:43:13Z

Does anybody (who's not actually a techie) understand Googles fb competitor Google Plus? We keep getting told they're recruiting members left, right and centre- which I'm sure is true. But are those reruits using it in numbers, I don't think so judging by a few simple on site searches. It strikes me as being all a bit complicated. Or is it simpler than the fb way of doing things and I'm just too used to that??

Anyway, I've gone and set mine up. "Why?" you might ask. Well to be honest fb is more than enough for me (and not that I really use it). However.. I have no doubt Google+ will be huge, and I'm even more sure that my (business) involvement will sooner or later enhance my websites Google page ranking. So there we are, I suppose I'm a hostage to a corporate yet again! Happy days.....

In a vain attempt to cheer me up here are pics of our dogs, Isla & Max.....

Wedding Album Bundles

2012-04-03T16:27:23Z

Those clever people at Loxley (my album suppliers) are soooo good! Thanks to them I am now able to offer an Album Bundle (my 'Package 3') which means you get 7 (1 main, 2 parent, 4 wedding party) albums as a bundle. All have the same layout and style as the main album, and come in a choice of 4 leatherette colours plus am acrylic cameo window. Knowing that everything Loxley does is a) extremely professional, b) top quality, and c) market leading I know these will be popular with 2012's Brides and Grooms! Take a closer look at the Bellissimo Perfetto Album Bundle on my website.

Facebook Ready!

That's the new (timeline) version of Facebook sorted. "Likes" appreciated here!!! Do I like it? Well, I'm sure in a few weeks we'll all have forgotten the old format... so what does it matter?

Right, now for some proper work instead of this incidental stuff. Time for a black coffee I think...........

Greetings

Limpley Stoke Wedding Fayre

2012-01-30T10:31:12Z

Big thank you to Katie Williams at the Best Western in Limpley Stoke (Bath's Country Hotel) for organising a super wedding fayre. It was great to see the good people of Bath, Bradford-on-Avon, Frome, Trowbridge and around. good luck to everyone with their wedding plans. The fayre just highlighted how much there is to think about, and how much choice there is!!

Retro Wedding... it's the 1960's!

2012-01-04T12:52:00Z

It was with great pleasure, and some hope and excitement, that I took the job of Trish and Adam's wedding. This was to be no ordinary wedding (in truth they never are). But this one was to be very different, a 1960's themed wedding!

When it came to the day I was not disappointed!! This, of course, was never in doubt. Trish and Adam are creative types and were fully behind the concept. Incredibly in 3 months they managed to prepare everything, mostly made by themselves or family and with the remaining roles handed to local tradespeople. The Pelican (Stapleford) laid on some fabulous 60's food, and Chris Rhind-Tutt was up all night preparing the beautiful flower displays. The day was rounded off by a very impressive Beatles tribute band who not only sounded like the Fab Four, but had the band members banter to go with it.

Having seen all the hard work people put in I was especially pleased that Trish and Adam were so delighted with my work and the detail I caught on camera for them. Trish has since told me that in years to come she would have forgotten many of the things I photographed. Now, "I can look back and be proud that I achieved all those things myself in just three months"! Well Trish, you deserve those memories. It was a brilliant day. May Trish and Adam have a long and happy life together!!!

More from Trish and Adam's retro wedding can be seen here.

Had some fun recently capturing pictures of dog training for the excellent Charis at Charismatic Pets. Charis wanted to spruce up her website www.charismaticpets.co.uk and as the owner of two of her 'pupils' I was only too pleased to help. Charis is highly trained, passionate about what she does, and last years winner of Warminster's new business award. Chasmatic Pets offers Dog Behaviour Consultations, Dog & Puppy Training Classes, 1:1 Training, Behaviour & Training Workshops, Do Walking, and Pet Sitting services.

Oh yes! I'm full of excitement and anticipation, as this Sunday is my first Wedding Fair! I'll be at the Reading Town Hall from 11 - 15.30 hoping to make a good impression on the Brides and Grooms that visit.

It's surprising how much preparation goes into these events. For me, as a first timer, there has been plenty to design, print and buy. Oh, and forget! Thanks to the ever magical Loxley Colour who managed to whiz over those last minute items in double quick time!!

Wish me luck! Or, if you're on the look out for a photographer, come along and see me!

Salisbury Guildhall

2011-09-07T11:22:28Z

After a busy wedding season I can finally emerge with some blogging! It seems like an age since my last entry (July!!). Rest assured, I am still here!

A stand out wedding for me was between Lindsey and Gavin. This took place at Salisbury Guildhall, which I had not shot before. It's a splendid venue with a large, lush main hall hung with paintings. Gavin's uncle is the current Mayor of Salisbury and his sister works there, so I doubt it took too much to decide on this impressive building. A surprise bonus was that we were able to use the old wood panelled courtroom for some alternative wedding photos. Gavin, your marriage is not a sentence!! A nice touch for the couple was Uncle Mayor John Abbott JP presenting them with a certificate signed by himself (The Mayor) offering congratulations to the couple for their wedding at the Guildhall.

There are more photos here.
