Catching up...

Crikey,

It really has been a hectic past few weeks. First of all to those of you who don't follow my facebook or aren't a client of mine, I had a really bad piece of news a few weeks back. 

My album company went into administration. Picture the scene. I had just designed two albums for two couples who had faith in me and were the first two couples to officially start off my business as a wedding photographer. In fact, one of those couples told me they were booking me 9 months before I even decided to properly start my own business, and at that stage I didn't even have an album to show them. That was how much faith they had. Imagine me now going back to tell them - what I'd just designed and what they had approved may not even work anymore. Awful.

One person, however was unbelievably helpful. I don't know too many other wedding photographers in Northern Ireland as I haven't been very big on the wedding show scene, however I do follow photographers blogs and Janine Walker is one of them. We'd chatted briefly through our blogs but that was as far as it went. But it was Janine who I phoned in a blind panic as to what album companies she would recommend. I can't even begin to tell you how helpful she was (by this stage she had to deal with quite a hysterical Carly on the other end of the phone!) and without her help I would not have found out about my new album company Graham Photographic.

More news about them soon, but if you want to hear her side of the story you can read it here.
