I have some packages that you can use as a guideline but I can amend and adjust them all to suit your requirements.  All packages include the time spent with you on your wedding day, a means of proofing and production of the final album. Proofing is done via a password protected website so that friends and family can see the photographs at the same time as you. You choose which photographs go in your wedding album and in which order and position in the montage albums. Or if you wish you can give me a list of the images required in the album and I create it for you. So do call me in order to discuss your specific requirements.

Every Picture Tells a Story so Let me Tell Yours

The Old Mill at eversley is a beautiful venue with some beautifully kept gardens to wander in. The Old Mill itself has been lovingly restored with many original features being retained and the sound of running water is quite sleep inducing. The food is excellent and the venue can handle large or small wedding parties.

Great day on Sunday lots of brides through the door and a couple deffinitley seemed interested in me as their wedding photographer so lets hope the phone rings in the next couple of days.

The Hilton is a lovely modern hotel, some can be a bit cold and soleless, but the Hilton at Newbury is lovely, a nice chandalier as you come in the main door and lots of wood panelling give a warm cossy feeling. THe main room used for weddings is light and airy so good for indoor photogrpahy as well.

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.

I have a new website that will be up and running soon specifically aimed at boudoir and maternity photography. Boudoir photography can make you feel so special and provide you with a gift never to be forgotten or bettered. Maternity photography records that very special period at a time when you are growing a new life inside you, nothing can beat that feeling, so it really should be recorded in the most amazing, fun and relaxing way possible. I can now offer a service which includes a day in a gym with a suana, swimming pool and spa all included in the cost of your photographic session, so why not pamper yourself for the whole day and then receive an album of beautiful photographs of you as you have never been seen before, beautiful, sexy and stunning. The new website is at www.desirephoto.co.uk please take a look shortly it should be operational by the end of this week (6/1/09).

The Apollo Hotel in Basingstoke is a nice venue with a small area round the back with a pagoda for photographs and in the event of inclement weather there is a large cover in front of the entrance and a nice bright reception area that can be used instead of getting wet outside. THe photogrpah below shows the entrance canopy to the hotel, they usually lay out a red carpet as well for you to walk up feeling like a million dollars on your special wedding day.

Oakley Hall has at least 2 rooms in which it can hold civil ceremonies and the photograph below shows the larger of the 2 rooms. The grounds outside are beautiful and provide some interesting spots for photography. There is plenty of parking and it provides a delightful atmosphere in which to hold your special event.
