Thursday Update....

Thursday, March 27, 2008

Where does the time go?

If you missed my post about portraits in the park you can get more details HERE I've filled 3 sessions in only 1 day so far so if you're umming and harring please don't do it for too long or you'll miss out on booking your slot!

My beloved Craft Forum has had a horrid setback. My techy co-owner called yesterday to say that some tape in the server had been eaten basically destroying the database and all known backups are corrupt. This was not the news we wanted because we've worked hard on getting our wee forum from 7 members in it's earliest day up to over 7000 of late. Philip is working tirelessly to restore everything but I'm asking all members of www.craft.co.uk to keep the faith, send some positive vibes to Philip and be patient. I'll update on the blog as soon as I have more news.

I went to see Iain in his class assembly this morning, he said atleast 3 paragraphs, more than he's ever said in any other performance, I am so utterly proud of how confident he's becoming.

Wedding bookings are starting go get busy for the 2009 season, if you're looking for a wedding photographer for next year please do enquire now or you may miss out, especially if it's a prime date.

Well on the whole this week it's just been busy busy and a little more busy but without very much actual groundbreaking news so I'll leave it there for now, watch out tommorrow as I have an engagement session I've really been looking forward to!

Smaller Wedding Photography Packages for Budget Concious Brides

Monday, March 17, 2008

Just wanted to post this special announcement:-

Ok, so I realise that brides in the north sometimes find that they don't want to have a full 12 hour wedding photography extravaganza package and I've wanted to have a smaller package for ages but it's taken me a while to come up with something with smaller weddings, budget concious brides and great photography all in one small package!

So here's the deal, how does 2-3 hours of great photography sound with all the files on disk and an option to upgrade to a small and reasonably priced album? Ok, now let me tell you that the price for this is £395!!

If you are interested email me with your wedding date and budget to mandycharltondesigns@gmail.com or click through to my Contact page and mention this post.

Really Cool Places to get Married...

Tuesday, January 08, 2008

Brides, where are they? What are your opinions? I would really like to travel a little further this year and I'm certainly available for wedding photography all over mainland UK but I'm wondering which places you brides are thinking about. I was just talking with my hubby about cool places I would choose if we weren't already married. I came up with the following list and feel free to add to, argue with or point out some new and interesting ones I haven't thought of yet and then if you're getting married there why not call me for a consultation, full contact details as always are on www.mandycharltondesigns.com

So here's my cool top 20 places in main land great Britain (if money were no object) of places I would love have my wedding at:-

1. York Minster
2. Hexham Abbey
3. Edinburgh Zoo
4. Chatsworth House
5. The London Eye
6. The London Aquarium
7. Edinburgh Castle
8. Blackpool Tower
9. Westminster Abbey
10. St Pauls Cathedral
11. Fountains Abbey
12. Longleat Safari Park
13. The London Dungeon
14. Blenheim Palace
15. Holyrood House
16. St Andrews
17. Wembley Stadium
18. Wallington Hall
19. Anywhere in the Highlands of Scotland, it's all beautiful, (summit of Ben Nevis Maybe?)
20.Matfen Hall

Yes I know some of them it's not possible, some are clearly a little on the Kooky side and some of them are unlikely to happen unless I start mingling with the Royals (maybe they read?!), a couple of them I have actually shot there though and I LOVED them!

So tell me your really cool suggestions and of course destinations and venues if you're actually getting married there.

Happy Tuesday everyone - How long is it until the summer?

Just Another Manic Monday...

Monday, September 17, 2007

In the life of a wedding photographer in Newcastle, it's been really busy over the last couple of weeks particularly with myself being a Budget Wedding Photographer, now you may be wondering why I'm in that bracket, I have been told on several occasions to put my prices up but here's the thing :-

1. I love to be busy, I would shoot 100 weddings a year if I could (you never know I may even reach that next year)

2. I beleive that everyone should have great wedding photographs and currently the market excludes those who just can't afford it, with my packages and the fact that I even accept payment in installments I beleive that everyone can afford those great images that they might otherwise have to forfeit.

I didn't have a wedding photographer at my wedding and it's my one definite regret as I've only really got one photo and it's not all that hot!! You can bet that when we renew our vows in around 3 years i'll be searching for the perfect wedding photographer to cover my blessing, evenm if there are only 5 of us there it won't matter I just simply want to get a magical photo of myself and hubby.

Now I can hear you saying, well you could set up a shoot yourself, well beleive me I've tried but Paul larks about a little too much!!!!!
