First Wedding Show of the year.

Happy New Year everyone and that's the first wedding show over.
GO4 were at the Bothwell Bridge Hotel wedding show on Sunday.
I'd just like to say a big thankyou to Eleganza Sposa and the staff at the hotel.
Everything went really well and from our point of view we thought the show was a huge success.
GO4 also signed up some new customers so a big thankyou to you all as well.

We've got a real tough schedule ahead for wedding shows.
Next week we'll be at the Glasgow Girls Wedding Guide show at Pollokshields Burgh Hall.
Then we should have Braehead Arena, with the biggest wedding show the weekend after at the SECC. Our final wedding show of this quarter will be at George Square in Glasgow in March.

This is also the year when the blog is now going to actually be used.

(Promise!!!)

Things Are Getting Busier

So there's a lot happening at the moment and we're really trying to keep on top of everything.
First off we're really excited about a small wedding fayre that we're organising.
For anyone who knows East Kilbride it will be held at the coffee shop at James Hamilton Heritage Park. The shops called Gracies on the Loch and it's a great place for a small event.
More details to follow but we're getting a lot of interest from the right local companies at the moment, and we want the best, most reliable and professional local companies we can find to attend.

Also for any technofiles out there. The website now has it's own iPhone friendly website mirroring the flash site, just click on the main website from your iPhone and check it out.

Lastly, the first couples have now been granted access to their own website creation tools and the feedback thus far seems to be good. So I'll be rolling it out to my other clients shortly. Some really good ideas coming from the customers so can't wait to see what everybody else can do with the tool.

More New Stuff

And the good stuff keeps on coming.
Just created a dedicated GO4 website for I phones.
So if you've got an i-phone, and as we all know you can't use flash applications on them :-( then just click on the website as normal and you'll get a dedicated i-phone site.
Client websites seem to be going down a treat with people so looking forward to seeing what all my customers can create.

New Feature - Your Own Website

Blogging obviously isn't my thing, however just thought Id update the blog as I just wanted people to know about a really cool new feature that I'm giving to all my prospective couples. Their own personal website. They'll have full control over it with their own personal web address to give out to their friends and family.

It could become a really useful tool for the couple to be, they can update wedding plans on there for people to see, get people to post messages, the possobilities are endless.

More info to follow.........(I promise!)

The perils of wedding photography is being so busy that you forget to keep your blog updated.
I'm sure some people will agre with that. Well just finished a really busy period of weddings and thankfully have a couple of quiet weeks to catch up on all the weddings. I've also just re-designed the intro page to the web site, I hope you like it. All comments (good or bad) will be gratefully received. Next issue I'm going to approach is Vimeo. Anyone had any dealings with them? All comments appreciated.

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..........
