| It's the Bloke Blog! | 2010 | |
| I
was invited to a seminar held by another wedding photographer. We're not in competition - his starting price is £3,000
- but he was a very nice chap and one piece of advice he gave was: 'Write
a blog'.
So here goes... a little bit of story behind the headlines.

| I had a call from the GP's surgery. The framed photographs on display in their waiting room had been provided by the local camera club, but the contract was up. So I was asked if I could help - and next week a set of six new photographs with the theme 'wedding' will go up :-) | ||

| Part of wedding photography is about building relationships, not just with brides, grooms, family and friends, but with other professionals. I'm often asked for sample photos, and Kate at Mangapp Manor chose this pretty one of David and Melissa which helps us to remember what summer looks like! | ||

| Weddings arrive from the most unexpected places. Today an e-mail arrived from Hong Kong with the joyous news that I'll be covering a wedding at the magnificent Blickling Hall in May - definitely one to look forward to! | ||

| New record! January is always a popular month for bookings, but Saturday saw no less than three different couples and assorted parents dropping into Bloke HQ for a free natter. Result - three bookings! And so I welcome Nena & James, Samantha & Ollie and Abigail & Jamie on board HMS Bloke and look forward to working with them later in the year :-) | ||

| I may be mowing the lawn on 14 August - sadly, for the first time in my experience, a wedding has been cancelled. Quite by chance I came across Weddingplan who insure weddings (no I'm not on commission!) and they say that the average wedding costs £21,000. So the small ray of sunshine that emerges is the knowledge that Bloke's services only cost about 5% of the whole wedding budget! | ||

Crikey, three days
in and I haven't written a Blog entry yet...
2010 is already half booked, and it seems that the most popular months for enquiries are January - March, so it's looking good for another productive year and many thousands of new photographs for happy couples. Here's a bit of bridal improvisation I found at Bawdsey Manor! |
