How to overcome being a nervous bride :-)

Today I've taken another booking from a bride and groom who HATE having their photos taken.
Over the years I've become somewhat of a specialist with nervous brides (though It is unusual for both the Bride and Groom to be nervous), and I have a special strategy for helping them overcome their nervousness.


Its quite simple really... I meet them often... maybe 3..4..5.. times between booking the wedding and the actual Wedding Day. This means we form a close relationship, I meet the children, mum, mother in law... In fact anyone who is there when we meet up.


We talk about them, their families, their wedding... all sorts of stuff, It doesn't have to be wedding related. By the time the wedding arrives, you/they are so comfortable in my company, nervousness doesn't come into it.


Today's bride and groom will have a pre wedding shoot which will be fun and casual, with or without children and wherever they like to go. So, it could be the beach, park or just the back garden in summer. I want my wedding couples to be so comfortable that smiling (or not) isn't an issue in their wedding photographs.


If you are worried about having your wedding photos taken, don't despair...
Just give us a ring, buy some Lady Grey Tea  and we can chat about how to overcome your nervousness... By the way... Milk chocolate digestive biscuits go really well with a cup of tea and lots of wedding talk ha ha.


Here are a few couple of our most nervous brides... 

That was when we booked I must add... By the time the weddings came shyness etc. was forgotten and a good time was had by all.

Have a great week

Blackpool Prom Fayre

This weekend we attended a fabulous Prom Fayre at the lovely Tiffany's Hotel in Blackpool.


The cat walk was amazing with dresses by Dress to Impress (Poulton)  Photographs by...
You guessed it... Dove Photography.


We havent processed the catwalk photos yet, so we thought we would show you a small selection of photos from previous prom seasons.
We have great fun taking our prom photos, meeting you and your friends at your home, getting involved in all the caffuffle of getting ready and all your friends arriving. We then make sure we get some family photos, after all, you look like a princess and an opportunity like that cannot be ignored ha ha!!!
Finally as you get in your Limousine (car or horse and carriage) we will record your fantastic journey in images to remember.

Here is a short video (turn the sound down or you will get caught out at work)

 

If you would like to chat with us about having your Prom photos taken, ring Sheila on

07932685241

Book early as we can only photograph one set of friends per school prom.

 Share the cost with your friends like you do with the Limousine Hire and make sure you have the BEST photos of anyone in your school.

Happy New Year

Happy New Year


We are still In January so haven't left it too late to wish you all a HAPPY NEW YEAR...


We have had such a good start to 2012 here at Dove Photography that my feet don't seem to have touched the ground. I am loving the fact that wedding bookings for this year have already surpassed last years. A big thank you to all our customers past present and future, you make me a very happy photographer.


I haven't made any actual New Years resolutions, but I have some goals for 2012 that I want to share..
Apparently (for those of you who believe it) if you write down your goals and revisit them regularly they are more likely to come into fruition.


I want to make Dove Photography the place to have your photos taken because of the amazing photos, but also the amazing customer service.
I want people to be talking about how good their experience with Dove..
I want to make some fab videos that help customers with their posing for weddings and portraits (that could be difficult as I usually end up giggling).
I want to write my blog every week ... (That is a difficult one)..
I want to help make money for 'Brian House' the childrens Hospice in Blackpool. They do an amazing job under very difficult circumstances and need as much help as they can get.
I want my new website to be up and running (which is proving harder than I thought, not everyone is dedicated to customer service...).


Anyway... Happy New Year... Here is a little slide show of some of our weddings this last year 2011


Please just check the sound level, we dont want you to get into trouble !!
