Lucy & Richard’s wedding yesterday was lovely. Everything ran smoothly and even the weather held out and the sun came out to play. You’ll have to wait a while longer to see any more pictures as there is a lot to process. But I just wanted to say a big Thank You to Lucy & Richard for letting me be a part of your day, and congratulations again! I hope you’ll have a wonderful time on your honeymoon!
Bridie | Wedding
Today I went to take some bridal portraits of Lucy while she tried her wedding gown on for the first time since it was finished. It really is a gorgeous and unique wedding dress, but I can’t show it on here yet as there is always the danger of the groom seeing it before the big day next week! So instead, here are a few shots of Bridie, who is also the bridesmaid. She took every opportunity to steal the spotlight away from the beautiful bride! :D
Toot toot
Just had to share the love with you, as I was pretty stoked myself. Steph & Rob’s wedding got first featured on Rock ‘n Roll Bride, and now on Wedding Cabaret. Thanks so much guys! I truly appreciate the work that sites like these are putting in promoting modern weddings and wedding photography!
Lucy & Richard | Engagement
Lucy and Richard are getting married at the end of April, and we just about had time to squeeze in an engagement shoot before the big day. It’s always very useful to have an informal shoot with the couple before the wedding day, as it gives us all a chance to get to know each other better in a fun and relaxed setting.
For this shoot, we had a fun time walking around the City and the South Bank in the hunt for some elusive sunlight. This area is very special to Lucy and Richard, as they live right by the river, with an enviable view of the Globe Theatre!
What’s happening on this side of the screen
Hey, I hope you’re all fine!
I thought I’d post a bit of an update on what’s been happening behind the scenes. One of the biggest recent developments has been moving to a brand spanking new proofing system. All the still active proofing galleries have now been successfully migrated, and the relevant clients notified of the new access codes. Do have a good browse around and get back to me if you discover any bugs or other confusing things. Fingers crossed everything works as it should though. The new facility should make it a lot easier for you to view all your images and to purchase prints and products. One of my favourite things is an option to add images to favourites if you think you might want to come back and view, or order them, later on. You can also invite family and friends to view your images through automated emails, which I think is a pretty useful addition. There’s also a facility for creating a registry, in case you wanted guests to buy you print credits instead of toasters. I still have to iron out the kinks in that process though, but do let me know if that’s something you’d be interested in. But yes, I’m pretty pleased with the look and functionality of the new proofing site and I hope you will find it convenient and easy to use!
Another thing I have to address is booking availability. I’ve been getting a lot of inquiries for the same dates recently, and I hate the feeling of disappointing someone. I don’t generally share information on what stage my other inquiries are at, as I think that makes it really awkward for everyone involved, plus it makes me feel a bit like an used car salesman! I always try to make it clear that my policy is ‘first come, first served’, in this case meaning the first client that returns the signed contract and retainer, gets the date.
In an attempt to avoid disappointment later on, I’ve put together a little ‘calendar’ of my availability for weddings. I will try to keep this as up to date as possible in the future.
