It's going to be a busy year

Thu, 04 Apr 2013 23:53:27 GMT

Everything just seems to be falling into place with the photography this year with unexpected opotunities coming from all directions. I've been asked to be the photographer at 'Festival of Champions' near Preston 13th and 14th April, so need to get up to speed with on site printing. I've just bought a dye-sub printer and had a test print tonight, I've got to say the print quality is excellent! Ulverston Equine Soc. event this Sunday (7th April) and a Equine Elegance shoot on the 12th.

I've also been asked to be the photographer for Tescos 'Bonny Baby' compertition at Whitehaven Tesco in May and June ending up with Louis Walsh on the 22nd of June.

Even wedding fayres have came in out of the blue... Two this month... 24th April at Whitehaven Golf Club, and the following Sunday at the Folcon Club, Egremont. This is my busiest year for weddings, first one in Barrow in may.

Two new photoshoot packages this year as well.

Equine Elegance.... a close, personal portrait shoot with your horse, to try and capture the bond between horse and rider, but with a twist of elegance. Wedding/prom style dresses to whatever you like.....

Life Begins at......... just turned 40, 50, or whatever your age. Give your ego a boost with this studio or home based photoshoot witha digital make-over so you look your best.

Hunday Manor Wedding fair

Last Sunday I did my second wedding fair at Hunday Manor near Workington. Hosted by Hayham wedding services, so thanks Jeff for letting me in! My new stand worked a treat and I got many complements on it. It ended up a very enjoyable day and was great to talk with others in the wedding industry. Got some great photos from the catwalk show put on by Greenwoods and Pam from The Bridal House Maryport. IMG_9535

Muncaster Castle Wedding Fair

Sun, 14 Oct 2012 19:06:45 GMT

This is my first wedding fair, so not sure what to expect. Went down on Saterday to set up my display. Pleased I did, I was first there so got the choice of where to put my display (apart from main room). I didnt want my stand to look the same as all the others, ie flip up or roller dispalies. I wanted to use real photos and show off different styles of canvases. All you see in this area are bog standard box canvases. I was showing curved and floating canvases. The day went well, and I met a lot of nice people although many were just there to get free entry to the castle.... and who could blame them, quight a place!

Cleator fun day

Thu, 09 Aug 2012 12:01:30 GMT

THIS IS AN E-MAIL I RECIEVED REGARDING A FUND RAISING EVENT IN CLEATOR ON THE 29TH OF SEPTEMBER.

I will be having a table and display there, and hope everyone gives it support. Sounds like a good family day out!!

Hi Keith,we are currently organising a family fun day in Cleator for Saturday 29th September with all proceeds going to the BaasGalgo Association to help fund the building of a new shelter for abandoned and abused greyhounds,over 50,000 of these beautiful dogs are murdered every year at the end of the hunting season,these shelters give the hunters somewhere to "dump" their dogs rather than kill them,often slowly and painfully.In May this year a couple from moor row adopted a dog named Caramelo,he had been shot in the leg and abandoned,he was found starving with an infection in the wound and ended up having a paw amputated whilst still in spain,when Angela and Steve got him over here it was found he still had lead shot in his leg and after discussing it with their vet it was decided the best thing to do was remove his leg at the shoulder. While he was in the shelter he shared a kennel with a dog called Suggus,he was found in February ratching in bins starving,with one of his back legs hanging off and severely infected needless to say he lost his back leg,it is unclear what happened to him but he could have been hit by a car,anyway my partner and i have adopted him and he arrives in the uk on 16th september.

Now back to the fun day! we are currently looking for local businesses to take on a table to promote themselves and sell their products,the event is planned to run from 10-4 and tables are £20. We have also got a special guest coming on the day Thelma Madine from my big fat gypsy wedding,she is bringing one of her wedding dresses up and also one of the girls that is currently on Thelmas Gypsy Girls on sunday nights,she offered to do this,she wasn't asked and she is also donating something for our raffle but as yet she won't tell me what! We are also having a kids pet show,various prize stalls,raffle,tombola and refreshments available all day. I just wondered wether you would be interested in having a table,there will probably be a lot of pet owners there as it is for dogs,and your dog gallery on your website is amazing and also family portrait opertunities with a gypsy wedding dress,i hope this is of interest to you and look forward to hearing from you soon.

Thanks for reading this if you have got this far,Sean
