Preston Prom Fair

Well its that time of year again, the prom season is upon us, each year we attend prom fairs organised by schools, colleges and the Evening Gazzette to promote our services. These include Pre-prom shoots, which is similar to the before pictures of a bride preparing herself for the big day, then afterwards once she has transformed into a princess for the evening. Proms have become an important part of year 11 school life, so it is important to get some nice momentos of the occaision. The shoot usually includes family members and other friends as and when they meet up. If the prom goers are being chauffered in a limo then we capture those moments too.

We also attend School Proms as the official photographers, it involves setting up a back drop and studio lights and taking pictures of individuals, couples or groups throughout the night. All images are printed there and then and are reasonably priced.

Last night was the Preston College Prom Fair, it was well attended, much better than I thought it would be, with many different exhibitors. We were giving away free photographs and keyrings to promote our services. It was all well recieved and we recieved some good leads and a couple of possible bookings. Unfortunatley the Blackpool Gazzette who organised the event were struggliing for a photographer to cover the cat walk show, so they asked if I could do it for them. I found it funny that a newspaper would struggle with finding a photographer, but I wasn't going to turn down the opportunity to get some of my photographs into the newspaper! I have attached the ones that they have settled on this morning, but obviously they may not use all of them, we'll have to wait and see. It won't be the first time I have had my photographs in the newspaper and hopefully it won't be the last.

For anyone that is interested we have another prom fair at the Hilton Hotel in Blackpool next Thursday, its good fun and if you come and see us you'll get a free photograph !
