Just a reminder that there is a wedding fair on 13th September 2009 at  Donnington Valley Spa Hotel,  I  will be exhibiting there if you want to come and meet me before booking an appointment.

Newburys’ registry office is in Shaw House, the inside of which is small but beautifully decorated. The registrar is very friendly and makes the ceremony mean something (they don’t all achieve that). It is fairly light and airy inside. the outside has a small patch of grass that can be used for photography with shrubs as a back drop but the sun glares into this space at certain times of day and the rest of place is grey rendered walls, not very pretty from a photographic point of view.

There are hundreds of wedding fairs these days, most venues that hold wedding ceremonies hold at least 1 wedding fair a year, they are usually held during September, October, January, Febraury and March, occasionally they are held in November and April or even July. They consist of suppliers of wedding day paraphernalia of all shapes, sizes and types, including bridal dresses, mens wear, cars, photographers, jewelry, entertainers, cakes, florists, caterers and much more. There is usually at least one of each supplier category and usually in the case of photographers 2 or more. It gives you the oportunity to see the suppliers wares, talk to them, have a look round the venue and get lots of ideas for things you could spend your money on that you never knew existed. It is well worth visiting at least one if you are planning a wedding.
