Another month has gone by! I have the best intentions in the world to keep the blog up to date, but then you get busy and work seems to take over and next thing you know it’s been over a month since the last update! Apologies…
The last month has been genuinely hectic. Wedding season is well and truly here and that means busy weekends and lots of meetings with couples to finalize arrangements. Most wedding photographers have reported reduced bookings this year and while my bookings haven’t increased I am pleased that they are at about the same level as last year and so far they have been great weddings with lovely couples in fantastic venues. A wedding is a week’s work if you do the job properly which is why it is often a false economy to go for the cheapest quote or even worse to get a friend to take the photos. A wedding is probably one of the few times in your life when you have all of your friends and family around you and if you want photos that capture the day artistically and flatteringly it is worth paying for someone to take the job seriously!
This last month has also seen a lot of corporate work with a two day shoot for KBC PR & Marketing at the Waldorf Hilton, the Royal Opera House and Whole Foods Market in Kensington and another shoot at Shoreham Academy. In addition to this there have been social shoots in the form of a christening in Hurstpierpoint and a joint 21st birthday party at the Valmont Club in Chelsea. I have also designed and processed a couple of wedding book orders and have also been featured in Freelance Photographer magazine… but more on these later.
Lola On The Beach
The one final ingredient to complete the mayhem which has been the last month (aside from lots of work, the car dying, getting a newer car, my mum breaking her arm and needing an operation and normal hectic family life) concerns Lola, our lovely working cocker spaniel who has now turned one year old and has had her first season.
I won’t go into the gory details but lets just say it has been colourful and has been punctuated with lots of solo walks away from other dogs.
