Jo-Anne and Matt : Engaged!

We recently met up with Jo-Anne and Matt on a chilly January morning to shoot their engagement session. The guys couldn’t have picked a better day. Nice, crisp air; tonnes of fantastic winter sunshine… perfect!

There’s a few images below. If you’d like to see more, just click the images to be taken to the slideshow.

Jo-Anne and Matt’s wedding is just a few weeks away. We’ll pop their wedding images up as soon as we can.

2010 prices

With Mr Brown putting VAT back up to 17.5%, almost everyone has put up their prices. Luckily for you, we’re nice people and we understand that price increases can put pressure on people’s budgets.

That’s why we’ve decided not to raise our prices for 2010, we’re sticking with our 2009 prices. So whilst other local photographers are getting more and more expensive year on year, we are staying right where we are.

And of course, no photo blog post should be without a photograph, so have a picture from our new web-based still image gallery, IMANAO. This photograph wasn’t taken by us but by an old school friend. If you follow this blog more for the pictures than the content, then you might wish to dive deeper into IMANAO.

Introducing Second Shootr

SS_Promo_Pic

You’ve probably seen the tweets on Twitter, or the (not so) subtle hints on Facebook… but I’m pleased to announce that we have our very own iPhone application available to purchase from the Apple App Store.

Second Shootr is an iPhone/iPod Touch application for professional wedding photographers. It has just one goal: to help photographers do what they do best…take awesome photos! Second Shootr helps professional wedding photographers to organise the wedding day so that their minds are free to concentrate on capturing those lasting memories.

A brief run-down of Second Shootr’s features:

  • Store important client information – Names, addresses, phone numbers, websites etc.
  • Store key details about the wedding itself – Ceremony/Reception locations, wedding theme etc.
  • Capture and contact key members of the wedding party – Store contact details for the vicar, or the best man.
  • Know where to be and at what time – Store key events and their location.
  • Plan and tick-off your photos – plan those must-have photos, use photos from your iPhone camera or library as a reference and then tick them off when you’re done.
  • Remember all your kit, every time – check your kit out as you leave the studio, then check it back in when you’re packing up.
  • Remember everything you need to do before, during and after the wedding – Second Shootr will list your to-do items, just tick them off when done.
  • Customise Second Shootr to your business requirements.

Second Shootr is available in the Apple App Store right now and is available for all models of iPhone and iPod Touch (as long as you’re running OS 3.0).

If you’d like more information, as well as further screenshots and an instructional video, head to www.secondshootr.com or go straight to the app store to purchase it:

Why should I care? I’m a client, not a wedding photographer.

True, you may not be interested in buying Second Shootr, but you can be safe in the knowledge that Plinkk Photography is leading the way in wedding photography and wedding photography technologies, so much so that we are investing very large sums of money into helping other wedding photographers play catchup! You can be certain that we have every detail of your day logged and at our fingertips – We’ve already used Second Shootr out on weddings, and we will continue to do so.

We’ve been blogged!

JasonDMoore WebsiteWe’ve been mentioned in Jason D Moore’s photography blog!

Jason is a prolific photography blogger based all the way in the USA. He’s been writing online for over 7 years now, mostly discussing photography and Photoshop techniques as well as building up an online community.

All this experience means that Jason knows what he’s talking about when he says “Tim Collins, of Plinkk Photography, and his wife Helen do some awesome work in the field of engagement/wedding/event photography. In a genre that can so easily fall into a very formulaic portfolio of images, Tim and Helen have an eye for creating something truly unique.”

We are flattered by the attention from across the pond and would like to take the opportunity to thank Jason for his kind words.
