Latest news...

Although things have calmed down on the wedding photography front (all images have now been edited, and sorted for their respective newly weds), I've been fairly busy with other pieces of work. So here's what I've been up to:

• Engagement shoot... Had an engagement shoot with a lovely lady who's getting married in Glasgow next year (with her reception being held at the gorgeous Carnbooth House Hotel  - I think I'll get some stunning wedding photography there!). We did her photo shoot at the fabulous House for an Art Lover. 
• I recently registered with Edinburgh Brides Wedding Guide directory,  which I'm quite pleased with. It's one I've been contemplating for a while, especially as they show some of my wedding photos alongside my listing. The photos featured are from two of my recent weddings - a Swansea wedding I photographed, and some Edinburgh wedding photographs. 
• I've also decided to list with the Scottish Wedding Directory. They've gone from two to four issues a year, and an annual listing in the magazines and on the website felt like a particularly good deal. Listing as an Edinburgh and Lothians wedding photographer with the SWD makes sense to me, as they are easily the biggest Scottish wedding publication around. 
• Sorting out my SEO! I don't do this as often as I ought to. I do find it oddly interesting and fascinating, although a bit frustrating to wait so long for results. Anyway, sitting with a book, reading through the right things to do (and the naughty things not to do).
• Organising a photo shoot with three fellow Scottish wedding photographers, a stationer, a florist, a jewellery and accessory designer, and a dress maker. Lots of hard work, lots of phone calls, and lots of perfecting of my telephone voice and choice of wording. 
• Building a new shop site, exclusively for my wedding photography couples. The online shop enables the guests of couples to purchase prints. The prints come from professional photo labs, and it now means that guests don't have to ask the couple for copies and they can choose the print size and number they're after. It also means they get a high quality print, rather than a high street quality print. 

 I've also been doing a bit of relaxing too - I went to Blair Atholl and the Enchanted Forest last weekend, and the good weather and gorgeous Highland autumnal colours meant that my camera was in fairly constant use. Looking forward to processing those photos this weekend, and hopefully give you a wee look at them!
