Wedding Day

Morning,

Just prepping for todays wedding and looking forward to this one, something tells me Alison is going to be the life and soul today.

Quick mention about the web site, 2 new features now available and one that I'm really excited about. The new client viewing and proofing page, you'll now be able to view your photographs in full hi-res quality so no more tiny photographs to look at, just glorious full screen images.

The new shopping cart facility is now also active with a host of new features including bundled discount packages, so please ensure that you look at the packages as you may save some money.

Well time to fire up the Nikons and go and get ready.

Have a nice day everyone...............

New Website Stuff

So I've been har at work the last couple of days setting up a new viewing system and purchasing system for the website to make it easier for clients to purchase photographs and copies of the wedding DVD slideshow. It's a lot more pleasing to the eye than the old system and I'm sure you guys are going to like it too. Carrie and Michael are the first wedding to ne using the system so I hope that you it enjoy it.

We'll also be introducing paypoint very shortly which will make it far easier to purchase goods instead of paypal, which I know that some people have issues with.

Wedding tomorrow at the Crutherland in E. Kilbride so really looking forward to that and fingers crossed for the weather..........

Ashtastic

Poor old Carrie and Michael from a couple of weeks ago, stuck out in Turkey and can't get home. I hope the holiday company is looking after you guys. Well as we discussed last night, your DVD is ready and I'll get it all ripped onto a disc for you and sent up ASAP so you've got something good to look forward to when you get home.



I've also got a couple coming over from Bermuda in 2 weeks who are getting married at Discovery Earth in Edinburgh, I hope this volcano runs out of steam (erm....ash) by then.

Also a quick mention for Leigh who I met today, really nice to meet you and am looking forward to your wedding already......

Dates are coming through now for wedding fayres that we'll be attending later in the year so if any prospective clients should be reading this then please don't be stranger and come along and say hello.

H.A.L.

Met Jeanette and Martin @ HAL (House for an Art Lover) yesterday. Really lovely couple and I can't wait to shoot the wedding. No photographer on the face of the planet would run short of material at that venue!!!

Just getting everything ready for this weekends wedding at the moment.

Really must get more memory cards (note to self).

EDINBURGH CASTLE

Hello all, still recovering from my Edinburgh Castle caught flu from the weekend wedding.
Congratulations to Carrie and Michael and I hope the honeymoons going well.
If you do read this then I'm working hard as I type on your images.
Got to say though - that gatehouse suite was (how shall I put it) a real challenge to photograph in.
I loved the piper Ian Gordon, he was a wee bit scary though when he charged me!!!!
The photos will reveal all.....

Off to House for an Art Lover tomorrow to meet Jeanette and Martin so looking forward to that.

And just completed the pre wed shoot with Alison and Richard at Chatleraux which was a nice evening.

Ahhh well back to work......

GO

Training

Quite excited now, got a good deal with the Annabel Williams crew for a course in March so looking forward to that. 3 day course - All About Weddings.

Still got my brain going in overdrive over this blinkin' Blu-ray disc project and trying to run it in conjunction with Proshow....ahhhhhh!!!!!!!

Whatever Pro show tell you about it being all singing and all dancing is rubbish.
This DOES NOT work with 64 bit versions of Windows 7

Flip a dee doo dah

Finally managed to get the flip page album sorted out - hurrah.
Check it out on the website under Wedding Album Example.
PS anyone wanting one for the website (for free!!!) I managed to get a Picasa template from a dutch guy and then uploaded it to my webspace (simples!!), if anyone wants to know more then drop me a line.

Next problem - can't send .exe files via Gmail, live, hotmail, virginmedia etc etc etc etc so have just found a free file sharing site desigined to be for private use only, quite cool. www.rapidshare.com

Have also just taken out an ad in the Glasgow Girls Wedding Guide so hope to be getting some traffic coming my way from that soon enough......
