4th August 2008 - We have now opened our diary for 2011, yes that's correct - 2011. People are already making enquiries and booking for 2-3 year in advance. We've been taking bookings for 2010 since late last year, and this year seems to be following the same trend. So if you're interested in our work, then don't delay and complete a no obligation First Refusal Booking today, as we are getting enquiries for some months almost daily!

15th July 2008 - This is just a quick apology to everyone who looks forward to receiving our monthly eMagazine Click, as we haven't managed to get this months out! Thankfully for us, but unfortunately for the readers we have been absolutely swamped over the past month covering some beautiful weddings and fantastic portrait sessions. We hope next month will see service return to normal and we thank you all for your patience.

2nd July 2008 - We have now updated our "First Refusal Wedding Booking" process and an online form is now available. The process is simple and gives you stress free wedding planning. Simply complete the online form once you have confirmed your date is available, then in 2 minutes and without any obligation (including no deposit) you have secured your date. This then allow you time to complete a consultation and make a decision. If in the meantime we get another enquiry for your special day, you get "first refusal". If you decide not to proceed, then you've lost nothing, but in reverse it means one less thing to worry about and your date is secured for the sake of 2 minutes!

17th April 2008 - If you have seen the news recently or visited the BBC website (you can read latest article here), you will be very aware of a problem both professional and amateur photographers are being challenged with...   ...almost abused by police and the public for supposedly breaking the laws. If you feel like I do, then please sign the petition which is seeking clarity in the law. Sign-up here: http://petitions.pm.gov.uk/photographylaw/
