We've had a really good response..

...from people since Samantha and I joined in partnership. We've taken 18 bookings in 18 weeks, some for this year and some for next. This is great news and much better than we had thought. The reaction from couples has been fantastic. People appreciate the fact that we don't do cheesy pictures - but we do style and professional quality images. There will always be lots of guests at a wedding with good cameras who will be able to take lots of snaps - but we always look to go way beyond snaps, using our skill and professional grade equipment (in the main this refers to the lenses and lighting we use).

The other big gain has been professional development. Working alongside each other has helped us both to develop and fine tune our skills and the way we work. You always learn from other people and especially other professionals. We are both very pleased with the pictures we have been taking recently.

We have put together a brief for a new website, which will be live in the autumn. This will feature us both and is going to be fab - we are both really excited about this. We also have some new literature coming as well, which will feature some images from our recent weddings. And to add to this, we will also be extending our range of sample albums. We like to keep our work fresh.

Oh, it is so nice to have some sunshine. I hope you are enjoying it.
