Society of Wedding and Portrait Photographers Convention 2008

I have just returned from London spending a very tiring but worthwhile few days at the SWPP convention in Hammersmith.

The SWPP is an organisation for Wedding and Portrait photographers across the world.

Leaving Northampton early Saturday morning on a very cold and shakey train bound for Euston Station I kept an open mind on what little nuggets I would pick up at this years convention.

Well I wasnt dissapointed after attending no less than 5 Masterclasses plus an all Day seminar on Monday my mind is now buzzing with new ideas and techniques for the coming wedding season.

Speakers came from all over the world including, Scotland,Australia,America, England and Wales.

Attending these conventions is very important as not only do you pick up new ideas but you also know where you are in your own business, an yes I think we are heading in the right direction.

On Monday I attended an all day Masterclass with a photographer from Washington State called David Beckstead. David is a destination photographer and photographs wedding all over the world. His style is very laid back and "loose" for want of a better word. He aims to capture the emotion of the wedding day concentration on small details as well as the bigger picture. His style is not unlke my own which is the main reason I travelled to London to see him
I have registered with him to spend a couple of days this year with him learning more about his style and way of shooting.

Here is his website if you are interested David Beckstead

Thanks for reading

Weddings Special Offer

First of all Happy New Year everyone.

I would like to thank everyone who supported us this last year.

A very special thanyou to all our Wedding couples, we have had so much fun photographing your weddings and despite the dodgy weather everything has ran smoothly.

Now to our special offer.

As you know at Mark Betts Photography we always try to keep up with current trends and offer just something a little different to other photographers. This started last season with removing the album from our wedding packages and offering the High Res cd of images instead. Couples loved that as they could get reprints of their wedding for family and friends a lot cheaper and still purchase an album if they wanted to.

Since offering this service we have noticed a few photographers doing the same so we must have got it right.

Now, not to sit on our laurels so to speak here is our next idea.

A FREE i Pod with your wedding coverage

A free i pod !!!! What use is that you may ask???

Well, not only are we offering a free i pod but we will also load your wedding photographs onto it, so you will always have your wedding photographs to hand to show anyone at anytime !!!

This offer is open until the end of January after that the i pod offer will stop but we will still supply a fully prepared file of your wedding ready to load onto an i pod.

Happy New Year
