Photoshoot
Studio Fashion Photoshoot with Genna on Thursday: ) This is a wee shoot to get Genna back in the swing of things before we do another couple of photoshoots. She’s a great model to work with and I’m hoping to try out a few beauty images as well.
Photoshoots
We’re in the process of arranging several photoshoots with a few models and non-models alike. We have a Trash the Dress booked for June, should be interesting! As I like to keep my hand in and twitchy after a few days of R and R. I arranged with Suzie to shoot some pictures in our studio as a warm up for a couple of shoots we have arranged with bridal dress designers. Suzie is just fabulous and as she hasn’t had a fashion shoot for more than a year due to her studies at Uni, she was delighted to take part as she’s keen to do more modelling in the future. So if your interested in modelling and want know what we can do for you call or email.
We’ll be updating the website to include more of these shoots in our Commercial section later in the Spring.

The Scottish Wedding Show at the SECC
I hope you were impressed by the quality and clarity of our large format prints of Cherish and Trash the Dress prints as well as our wedding albums. If you were looking closely at our prints you would have noticed that the image of Caitlin in the water is so sharp you can actually count her eye lashes. If you don’t believe me please phone for an appointment to view some of our albums and you can count them for yourself!
If you’re feeling a little confused by our range of products we will be delighted to hear from you and to discuss your requirements in more detail. Please remember all wedding photographers are not the same! We like fun, natural images as well as the posed images for your album.
New print box for those who don’t want an album but are interested in a book and images on CD. For those of you who book in October we will continue to offer 20 of our ‘unique comic’ thank you cards free of charge. To learn more we suggest you see our distinctive approach to our brochure! We like to be different from the run of the mill. We endevour to take images that can be in your album and also made into large ‘fine art’ prints that you’d love to hang on your wall.
A new product that wasn’t at the show sadly, is a Signing Book, which is printed to allow guests to sign around the margins of the prints in the book. This product will available within a few weeks and will now be available to all clients who book a pre-wedding photoshoot, even if we are not your chosen photographer. The pre-wedding photoshoot is free for all clients who do book our services.
A word of advice to all couples who have not yet chosen a photographer - do so now! We spoke to several couples who were still undecided and some who had left it to the last minute. We had to turn away 2 couples because we were booked for next year in June and July on their dates. I hope the managed to find a photographer but when I spoke to them they had already spoken to several and were out of luck. You should always book your photographer as early as possible, around the same time you book your venue. There is nothing to be gained by delaying your choice, in fact the longer you leave it the more expensive it will become! Our prices will rise in January 2011. If you book with us now we fix your price even if your wedding is 2012. We do not increase the prices like many other photographers, unless you change your wedding photography package to another one.
We had lots of show offers which sadly have now closed.
If you have any questions please get in touch and I’ll be delighted to answer them for you. One last thing we travel, yes really we do and we are more than able to travel to ‘Dundee’ or ‘Timbuctoo’ or for that matter anywhere else in the world for your wedding. We are approximately 30 minutes from Glasgow, easy to find and are not restricted to our local area. If your wedding is in Scotland we might be able to provide you with a pre-wedding shoot on location at your chosen venue for just the cost of the petrol to get there and back. This would normally be done subject to availability and permission from your venue organiser.

SECC
Just imagine your big day, you’ve spent lots of time and a whole lot of effort to make everything perfect. Florist, venue, cards, cake ‘the full Monty’. Then you discover that the choice of photographer wasn’t quite what you expected. You maybe thought it was the one area where you could cut a few corners, after all ‘who would notice’. A friend said he or she would do it, or perhaps they knew someone who could help after all they had a good camera. Oops, things went a wee bit wrong, some of the pictures didn’t come out. ‘the flash wasn’t working’, ‘the sun was in the wrong place’, ‘the bridesmaid was told not to move’. Now you’re asking yourself was it worth the least expensive option, after all ‘who would notice’! Better get in touch soon just in case! We’ll certainly make sure this doesn’t happen to you! Come and speak to us at the SECC!
This picture was taken by us of the catwalk during the last SECC Wedding Show for Glitterati Designer Gowns.
