Good news about The Higher Trapp Hotel and more.

Well it's been a little over a week since I agreed to become a principal photographer with Yorkshire Wedding Photographer Mark Pearson and work as a team to provide high quality wedding photography and service across both sides of the Pennines.  The good news this week is that I officially signed the contract and we got to work on planning our commitments to each others business and find the ways we can ensure as many Brides and Grooms are able to get the quality service on their wedding day, not from just us as photographers, but with other vendors that share the same passion for weddings as we do.  Well thanks to the commitment I make to business networking each week and trying to help others succeed, we were fortunate enough to get opportunity to meet with the Wedding Manager of The Higher Trapp Hotel, Simonstone, nr Burnley.  The Higher Trapp Hotel is a wonderful location, beautiful terraced gardens, panoramic views of the Lancashire countryside, excellent customer service and truly a wonderful wedding venue.  It was quite obvious that The Higher Trapp Hotel share the same passion as we do for ensuring a Bride, Groom and all their guests have the best day possible and it is with great pleasure we can announce the agreement to become one of their recommended service providers. We look forward to our association with The Higher Trapp and working with Brides and Grooms who will leave the venue saying 'that was an awesome day'.

To finish, I have had a few people ask me what effect will working as the Principal Lancashire Wedding Photographer for Mark Pearson Photography have on Paul Brown Photography.  Well, it just means my service is just going to get better. As a photographer with Mark, who is arguably one of the busiest in the North and who's business succeeds so well because of the quality of service, my service can only get better because of it and it only takes an informal chat with me to find out what my passion is.  Mark Pearson Photography based on all the skills I have with both customer service and image quality and it is a very privileged post to have.  It does mean however, I am now becoming extremely well booked and if I am booked as a lead photographer for Mark Pearson Photography, I will not be taking bookings for Paul Brown Photography on that day.  So as 2011/12 is already getting extremely busy and bookings for 2013 are now coming in, it is not hard to see that booking early is going to be of high importance, if high quality photography service, quality images and great fun are high on your priorities if you are getting married.

So, wedding photography in Lancashire has never looked better and I for one, am buzzing with the prospect of working to be part of something great, working alongside wonderful people and meeting many wonderful couples and also passing this passion for weddings on to my team of assistant photographers.

Wedding Photographer Yorkshire links with Wedding Photographer in Lancashire

It is with great pleasure that I am able to announce that I have now become a Principal Photographer with Mark Pearson Photography based near Leeds in Yorkshire.  Mark is arguably Yorkshire's busiest wedding photographer who gets booked up well in advance covering weddings in Yorkshire and Humberside and is the recommended supplier for several high quality wedding venues.  Mark has nearly 20 years photographic experience and formed Mark Pearson Photography in 1991 and has photographed over 1000 weddings and is the photographer that many families trust to produce the results and service they desire.  He is a qualified photographer with the Master Photographers Association and he also gives business training services to other photographers across the country.

So how and why have I been appointed?  Over the last few month's we have spent a lot of time getting to know each other's personality.  We have spent many hours discussing our industry and our ideas of what is classed as top quality customer service.  We have talked about our aspirations for the future which eventually led to Mark asking for me to become a second shooter at some of his weddings.  It was obvious from the first wedding we would get on as we both have similar styles with not just the Bride and Groom, but all the guests who are present and also all the other vendors who are there to make it a special day and of course, the final images were of the highest order.  From this, because of in Mark's words 'my ability to second guess him all the time', I became more of a co-shooter on a wedding with Mark and he would be assured that when left to my own initiative I would produce the results and customer service he is renowned for across Yorkshire and this alone, is something that can not be taken lightly.  It became blatantly obvious that we both have the same principles and after much talking and with Mark Pearson Photography having more couples wanting his services than there is availability, we have struck a deal to be able to ensure as many clients as possible can be assured of superb service, excellent quality and photographers who are passionate about making the day special.  I have primarily been appointed to cover the Lancashire, Manchester and Cheshire areas, but will also be covering Yorkshire and Humberside when bookings dictate.

Paul Brown Photography will still be running as normal and this link up will in no way have a negative effect on  the quality received.  There will of course be some changes over the coming weeks but all these will be geared around making the service even better than it ever has been and I am really excited about these changes as it really will be the customer who gets the benefit from the changes.

So, if you are looking for a wedding photographer in Lancashire, wedding photographers in Manchester or a Cheshire Wedding Photographer and you want high quality images, products and customer service you can either contact Lancashire Wedding Photographer Paul Brown, or alternatively, in celebration of our Link up,  Mark Pearson Photography is offering Bride and Grooms who are getting married in the Lancashire, Manchester and Cheshire regions during 2011 a MASSIVE 10% discount off any package if you book before 1st December 2010.  No strings, no catches, just affordable wedding photography in Manchester, Lancashire and Cheshire. Mark Pearson Photography can be contacted on 0113 2295408.

Here's to many, many happy clients in the future.

The Wedding of Natasha & Adam, Blackburn and Darwen 12th June 2010

Saturday 12th June 2010 I was privileged to be the wedding photographer at the wedding of Natasha and Adam. The weather was perfect and the day started for me at Woodlands United Reformed Church at Cherry Tree in Blackburn where I met the nervous Groomsmen.  I wasn't sure who was the most nervous, the groom, Adam or Best Man Stuart, who had the thought of giving a speech to contend with.  With the Groomsmen nervously waiting, the family and friends all started to pour into the church and it wasn't long before the Bridesmaid, Jade arrived looking beautiful in her burgundy dress and was closely followed my Natasha who looked stunning in her beautiful dress.  After a lovely ceremony, we all headed off to The Whitehall Hotel, in Darwen which is a lovely venue.  All the group shots were followed by a little bit of time with Natasha and Adam before it was time to leave and let them continue with the rest of their day.  Natasha and Adams parents, Jackie and Derek and Cath and Eddie can be proud to think that they were inspirational bringing up two lovely children.  I wish all the families and wonderful future.

Here is just a taster of the images created on the day.
