June 10, 2010 – 6:00 pm

We are getting more enquiries and having more meetings for 2011 weddings every day. 2011 is looking great for weddings and I am pleased to see couples securing their day earlier this year. We can only photograph a certain number of weddings every year as we like to concentrate on looking after every one of our customers. If you are getting married in 2011 and like the style of photography we offer I would get in touch a.s.a.p as I have never seen it so busy so early in the year. To secure your booking we only need a £200 deposit. We can arrange a meeting to view our sample albums.

Don’t leave it to late their are only so many “Fridays and Saturdays in 2011″ and every one wants the same dates.

About the style of photography we offer

May 26, 2010 – 9:53 am

We started wedding photography with a few ideas and just went with them. The approach I started with was pure reportage capturing the day without having any input at all. The style has now evolved into a mixture of reportage - a selection of family groups - portraits - details and relaxed images of the bride and groom on their own. We offer the complete wedding now and tell the story in a selection of individual hand made albums. I still love capturing one off images as they happen and I still let the day find its own pace without getting to envolved. The family groups are very informal and I capture a mixture of ‘ the photo looking towards the camera’ and the laughter and talking in between. We like to have at least fifteen minutes for a few images of the bride and groom relaxing together and I stand well back to capture natural images. The key to every wedding is the ‘timing’ and we find the best wedding receptions have at least 1:30 hours of free time for the bride and groom to enjoy their day.

The image below took about one minute to capture at curradine barns. Its worth giving us a few minutes of your time on the day.

2011 wedding bookings are going well and we are finding everyone is booking earlier this year. If you are wanting any on-peak dates in 2011 I would book as soon as you can as I think their is a change of mood in the country and their will be more weddings in 2011 than 2010,2009. I have decided to hold our prices for anyone that wants to book 2011 weddings in the next couple of months. Give me a call to arrange a meeting to view our range of sample albums.

Thank you for your card Holly & Dave | Curradine Barns

April 15, 2010 – 7:02 pm

Thank you for your card Holly & Dave. We believe in producing the best wedding albums we can, and its great to receive your kind words.

To Richard & Sharon,

A huge thank you for our beautiful album - we love it ! Our friends and family have admired it too and think we have a fantastic collection of photos and memories to treasure. Thank you, as well, for helping to make our day so special - in the kindest way I didn’t notice you were there - so unobtrusive and yet you captured the whole day.

We will treasure our photos always!

Good Luck with the renovations and the business - we’d recommend you to everyone.

Kind Regards

Holly & Dave
