Credit Crunch - Still go with a Pro at Your Wedding

We all have to make some very difficult decisions in the current financial climate, however deciding whether or not to use a professional photographer for your wedding is one that will surely be on your mind if you are currently planning your wedding.

Here is an extremely good article on the subject from a fellow professional photographer:

7 Reasons why you should go with a Pro

Definitely worth a read.

Bespoke & Tailor-Made Wedding Photography

A number of photographers advertise the fact that their service is tailor-made to each & every client so we decided to actually find out exactly how tailor-made the Dartmoor Studios Photography service is...

After some careful calculations it was determined that there were a little over 20,000,000 - yes that is twenty million different alternative outcomes available!

Now I would call that a tailor-made experience.

However that may sound complicated - it is not. We now have our own tailor-made software that will output an individual & unique quote for each couple in around 30 seconds!

Want to try it out? Call 0800 6126 407 or come & see us at the next available Wedding Fair - which is currently the Cornish Brides Event at the China Fleet Club on Sunday the 8th of February 2009.

Dartmoor Studios goes Facebook...

I am sure that the majority of you are already on Facebook so we decided it was time to start a Facebook group as a second to the Blog to allow us to share more information & images with you.

Image Is Everything

When it comes to advertising & marketing your profile, your images have to stand out.

Even in a recession research shows that it is incredibly important to continue to advertise & market yourself & your business.

We are capable of taking of your images from conception & shooting, through design & development to a physical outcome based on your specific requirements whether that be small posters or giant billboards, marketing folders or website images.

Chiristmas Day Commercial Shoot...

When you are hired by a client to shoot new images for their website, you have got to fit in with your client's requirements which is no problem at all for us.

Now for the church this meant working Christmas Day as it is one of their busiest days of the year, which makes sense.

Our Lady of Lourdes, in Plympton, is a stunning church where we have been lucky enough to shoot weddings before, the interior is a beautiful mix of where the classic look has been mixed cleverly with some contemporary designs as you can see in the images below.
