Leanne and Andrew's Pre Wedding Shoot at Durham City

Leanne and Andrew booked me over a year ago for their wedding in June at Wynyard Hall. We decided to go to Durham to do their pre-wedding shoot because it is very special to them both.

Brides Biggest Regrets in Recent Poll

Brides Often Regret Not Spending More on Wedding Photography

If you’re set to get married soon and are in the process of planning for the big day, here’s a tip that might save you from some sadness further down the road: don’t go cheap on the photography if you can help it. It turns out that spending too little on photography is one of the biggest regrets brides have after their wedding, while spending too much rarely causes remorse.

For a wedding issue that will soon be hitting newsstands, New York Magazine created an infographic titled “What They Would Have Done Differently.” The magazine asked one hundred recent brides about what they’d do differently if they could go back in time.

As you can see from the two polls above, photography is huge on most brides’ lists.

21% of those polled wished they had spent more money on their wedding photography. Only 12% wished they had spent less.
If you think the sample size is too small, or that the results don’t reflect reality, get this:
Shutterfly found the exact same thing when it polled 500 recent brides back in 2011. They too found that 21% of brides wished they had spent more on photography.
All this just goes to show that while many of the things that happen at a wedding won’t be remembered in the long run, photos and videos that result can have a big impact on memories and happiness for many years to come.

Focus On Imaging - Graphi Studio New Matted Album

Had an enjoyable day at Focus on Imaging at the NEC last Sunday, I bought a New Canon SLR, 'L' Lens and Flash Gun for the up and coming Wedding Season....


I went and visited a lot of suppliers and ordered some new sample products to show to all my new and existing Brides, the most notable was the 
Brand New Digital Matted Album from Graphi Studio Italy.



These albums are something special with embossing on the page and different covers and page types see below for examples, I will be able to offer these to my existing brides in about 3 months time. 



I have been in the Wedding Business 19 years now and think that these albums will be very popular. See you all soon at the up and coming shows.
