Chocolate biscuits seal the deal again.
Chocolate biscuits seal the deal again.
Andy and Michelle came to see us on Monday to talk about their wedding next May. We got this E mail from Andy this morning
Hi Steven,
Just wanted to say a quick thank you to you both for making Michelle and myself feel really welcome on Monday (despite us turning up half an hour early!)
We're delighted we've managed to get you for our big day and can't rate your work highly enough.
Kind regards,
Andy.
(Oh, and those biscuits were worth the booking fee alone!)
Andy and Michelle are not the first couple to be seduced by our“choccie” biscuits, if you would like to try them send us an E mail and we will arrange a time to talk about your big day.

Some Favourites from 2010 so far...
Some favourites
Halfway through the year and in a couple of weeks we will have as many weddings left to do before Christmas as we have already done since last Christmas. So, just for fun, we have made a little slideshow of some of our favourites so far. We actually have loads of others, more weddings that we haven’t included. We like them as well but we had to be a bit ruthless when we were selecting. The others were great, these are even greater. Just our opinion.
Turn your speakers up, open to full screen, pour the good stuff and enjoy.

New Sample Albums
New Sample Albums (click on the image to enlarge the picture!)
We were very excited when we unpacked our brand new sample albums. We are huge fans of Jorgensen Albums. Steven has used the Australian albums since they first appeared in the UK around 15 years ago. We’ve needed to update our samples for a while and since we photographed several stunning weddings already this year we thought now the time is right.
In the past we offered a choice of three sizes, 9” square, 12” square and 16”x12” panoramic. We showed those in a choice of Art album or Pro bound. Art albums do not have a protected edge to the page but we liked the flat binding and the hard cover. Pro bound albums have a rounded binding and padded cover but the page edges are protected with tape and metal corners. So, we are delighted with our Styla albums that combine all of the good parts of the other two styles.
We also added two new sizes, 16”x9” Vista and the massive 16” square, we reckon you could fit that one with legs and use it as a coffee table (not really).
All 4 of our new albums are Styla and covered in premium leather, they are gorgeous.
Rebecca and Campbell’s Mayday wedding features in the 12” square Styla.
Gemma and Garth’s romantic day for two is in the 16”x9” Vista.
Peter and Catherine’s typical Lake District Spring day is in the 16”x12”
panoramic.
Steve and Gosia’s London wedding is in the simply huge 16”square Styla.
Even the experienced photographers that we are can’t do justice to these beautiful albums in pictures. All are welcome to come and have a look. We are open by appointment so if you would like to come and see them, you don’t have to be planning a wedding, give us a call on 015394 454 83. The coffee will be hot and the chocolate biscuits Belgian.

Lovely Enquiry
Lovely enquiry
Most people just ask us if we are available and how much we charge. We would like to point out that we like all of your enquiries. This week we had such a lovely enquiry, phone call and Email exchange that we really want to share it.
Amie’s first contact came late on Wednesday evening. In the bit on our contact form that says “Tell us about your wedding” she wrote,
“Hi,
We're sitting on our couch and enjoying the music as we look at the pictures: Love the music, and love the photographs!
Our wedding will be a mix of cultures and traditions as I'm Indian and my fiancé is Polish, and our wedding will be a Church ceremony:
Since our families are abroad (and far away), only the closest will attend, and we want the day to be personal, and an opportunity for our families to get to know each other.
Please send me a price list (I'm hoping now that you're free 'and' not way over our budget!!!) and we'll get back to you soon!
Thanks, and look forward to hearing from you.
Warm regards,
Amie
p.s. Goodnight!”
Following our response and attached PDF of our price brochure. Amie phoned and we chatted about the wedding. We talked about hours and albums and Polish traditions. The conversation ended with Steven suggesting we meet. Then we got this Email,
Hi Steven,
Lovely speaking to you.
Had another look at the pictures, and I really like them. It just feels to me like you've captured couples in their very special moments, moments one remembers but doesn’t always have in tangible form.
And this is what I'd love for my wedding. We're going to have our families meeting for the first time; I imagine there will be excitement, apprehension, tears and laughter.... and I'd love to have these moments forever, to show our children and to look back and be nostalgic on when I'm an old, old woman and can't wear my heels anymore!!!
So...can we come and meet with you?
We get a lot of lovely comments from the couples and their guests we photograph but we haven’t made any photographs for Amie yet. We always set out to achieve what Amie has observed in our work and it is a pleasure when we are made aware that somebody who has no connection to the subjects of our photographs is able to pick up on their sentiment.
Amie and Marcin came to the studio to meet us this morning, it is clear that photography is very important to them both. After some careful thinking about hours and albums Amie and Marcin booked us for 17th March next year.
We are very much looking forward to your wedding with its mix of cultures.

Great Responses
Great responses.
Spurred on by our success in the Kodak Wedding Photographer of the Year awards we picked out some pictures for entering into the next round. We E mailed the couples involved and gave them the numbers of the images we want to enter. Each image has to have a signed form attached so we needed permission from the customers.
We got some great responses. Everybody said yes and they all wished us luck. We also got some more thanks and compliments even from those who had expressed their thanks before. We thought we would just like to share this one from Rebecca and Campbell, we photographed their wedding on 1st May.
Hi Steven
Wow that sounds amazing! We would love you to win! You captured our day so perfectly and I did not even know I had dimples till I looked at the snaps you had taken of our special day! We have had so so many complements on our photos, and have been asked for your web address to friends/colleagues who are getting married. All 9 are great to be entered however I felt you should know that people have been blown away by your photos and you should be informed of the amazing comments we have had regarding a selected few!
Photos myself and others commented upon the most are –
263 - Very poignant. Campbell protecting me from the storm and through life now we are married! (My favourite)
271/272 - very romantic
284 - Wow - how did he take that? whos your photographer can I have his number!!
414 - Captured true emotion!
476 - Snapped perfectly! (You even managed to capture this perfect moment)
496 -Simply Beautiful
I love them all! I really would love you to win!
Kind Regards
Rebecca
