Summer socially distanced photo sessions

With the lifting of lockdown restrictions in the country, many business are now getting ready to open their doors. A lot of photography studios are going to find it difficult to open with 2 metre distancing to remain in place, as a lot of studios are small environments.

Luckily, living and working in the Portsmouth / Gosport area we have forests, country parks, gardens and some stunning beach lines all within short distances. These environments make for stunning backdrops.

If its a business headshot, a portfolio shoot, maternity session or your family portraits, the era of a traditional white backdrop will be a thing of the past.

With the weather we are currently enjoying, there has been no better time to update your photos and add some colour, vibrance and nature to your walls, portfolios and website.

Photographers are itching to get out and kick start their business and start creating images to rival the plain backgrounds we normally create.

The safety of our customers will be paramount, and an outside session can be undertaken at a distance with ease.

I was lucky to have a beach session last weekend with this amazing young lady who was wanting to add some new post lockdown images to her portfolio.

We arranged the session in the sunset hours on a local beach. The flexibility of portable lighting, a whole beach area to explore allowed the freedom to create exactly what we both wanted from the session. Within an hour and maintaining a minimum of 2 metres between us, we created a number of images we were both happy with.

I am currently offering these sessions at 50% of my normal pricing, to encourage more of you to update your photos and add the colour and vibrance your brands and walls deserve.

Planning a wedding in 2021

Are you planning to get married in 2021?

As you are reading this post, I am going to assume that you are planning your wedding for 2021.

Wedding planning can be stressful at the best of times. But add in to the mix COVID-19 and boom we have chaos.

The wedding industry has been massively effected by the virus this year. Service providers such as photographers, make up artists, hair dressers and venues have seen bookings cancel or postpone to 2021.

What does this mean for the wedding industry and couples planning a wedding for 2021?

It is looking likely that 2021 is going to be a bumper year for the wedding industry. I have been lucky enough to transfer all of my covid hit weddings to 2021. Along with my existing 2021 bookings, I am going to be a busy photographer.

The cons of planning a 2021 wedding;

The service provider you have been watching over the last few months is going to have limited availability. Make contact with them now to ensure your date is still available. As weddings are being postponed daily, make sure you make contact before your date is no long available.

The pros of planning a 2021 wedding;

Deals. Service providers will be offering great deals to secure the remaining dates of 2021.

A lot of service providers are looking at taking deposits to boost lost revenue from 2020.

I am currently taking 2021 bookings at 2020 prices and also offering discounts on these packages.

If you are planning a 2021 wedding and are in the position to secure your service providers, now is the best time to do this. Ensure your date is available and take advantage of some great deals.
