Well, Westpoint – The Real Brides Show – was fantastic! I think it must have been the busiest wedding fair I’ve exhibited at, to date. It was great to meet all of you who came to my stand. Hope the wedding plans are moving forward and you’re all getting excited about that special day.
Here are a couple of shots from a recent wedding – lovely day and the couple were great people.

Getting ready for Real Brides Show

Well, another busy week. This coming Saturday and Sunday, 15th & 16th March, I shall be exhibiting at Westpoint, near Exeter. It's time for the Spring Real Brides Show. Come and see me on stand L13, where you can find out about my lovely "Show Special" for those of you booking at the show. (There will also be something "Extra" for bookings received within 7 days of the show.)

Last week's "Bump" session went really well. Mum and Dad were very pleased with the pictures and are looking forward to getting their framed photographs. Their little boy is really excited and looking forward to having a baby brother or sister. The pregnancy photography really is proving popular. I think it's nice that mums can come to a studio where it's quiet with no-one else around. Not like in a shop with other people in and out. I have a female assistant with me for pregnancy shoots, so it feels comfortable for all concerned.

Can't spend long on here today as I have to get everything ready for The Real Brides Show at Westpoint. See you there!

Saturday 1st March

Had a lovely wedding last weekend. Started off with the bride getting ready for her wedding ceremony at Taunton School, followed by the reception at Tone Dale House in Wellington. It’s lovely being able to be a part of that “Girlie” time while the bride and bridesmaids are getting dressed. I was able to take some beautiful pictures of the girls getting ready, while William went along with the groom and the rest of the boys. It does work well, being a female photographer and having a male photographer with me. We work together as a great team.
I’ve now finished sorting through all the wonderful photographs we took and this couple will be able to have a truly individual wedding album. I love designing wedding albums – of course the couple are able to “Proof” the design before I finally have their wedding album produced. Black and white pictures are so classic, but the colour photographs remind us of the fashions of the day. It’s so important to have a good photographic record of your wedding day.

Something new – got a “Bump Shoot” coming in next week. What a great way to celebrate your pregnancy! Being a female photographer, it’s really comfortable for “mum to be” to be in the studio with me. We can have a chat and enjoy the session. A lot of mums realise when they reach their second pregnancy, that they would love to have a photographic record of the baby bump. Of course, I'd love to see you for your "Bump Shoot" whether it's for pregnancy number 1 or whatever! This is a very special time and the great majority of expectant mothers are really blooming with health when carrying a baby. Pregnancy photography is becoming more and more popular and it’s something that as a female photographer with children myself,I can really help you enjoy this experience.

Well, I must go and do some more work. Hope the wind dies down today – it really was rough last night!

Don’t forget, you can see some of my wedding photographs at http://www.suziallen.com/
P.S. Look out for the new “Bump” page in the near future.
