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.
