New Camera!

January 31, 2012February 7, 2012 | SallyT

Just a little indulgent post to thrive over my new camera! I’m going to get out over the weekend and play about with it properly, but for now I’m happy running around the house experimenting with the controls (I’ve always been on Nikon, this is my first Canon) and taking a few snaps. Here are a few first pics, Viv was being my model as usual as well as taking pics of the junk/decoration around the house (piece of trivia: that is Liam Gallagher’s tambourine in the second photo).

Also I daren’t say too much yet, but I has a few very exciting pieces of news to share, hopefully by the end of the week, and I’ve literally be dancing around for the past few days. One includes a 1950s film set, one includes travel and one is a project of my very own….. EEK!

An happy end to 2011.. And a January Offer..

December 31, 2011February 7, 2012 | SallyT

Another very little post (it is meant to be the holidays after all..) to wish you all the very best for 2012!

I feel so fortunate to have had such a great 2011, writing it down I can’t believe how much has gone on:

Dav and I got married! After 5 years together we had the best day we could have ever hoped for; family, friends, good food, good drink, good music.. and the weather was on our side!
Vivienne turned two, and is, what my niece Evelyn calls her, a ‘little-big girl’!
We were lucky enough to gain two more nieces and a nephew, Beatrice, Jemima and Sebastian.
I finished my Art degree, and David finished his second year doing Sports Science..
..and I started my MA in Journalism
A few little trips away, me to Amsterdam and Paris, David to Berlin, and a few weekends away in the Lakes and London
And finally, my little business seems to be moving along well! I never thought I’d be lucky enough to meet as many amazing people as I did this year, and attended some gorgeous weddings; and feel amazed to have secured a dozen or so for next year already.. a huge thank you to everyone out there!

Have you all made your resolutions? I started jotting a few down and before I knew it I had a page full! 2012 is definitely my year for staying calm, being more organised and efficient, and taking some real time out for family & friends.

And as a little treat to kick-start the New Year, I’m running a little offer through Love My Dress (click here to see), meaning you can save 10% from my 2012 wedding package if you book in January quoting ‘Love My Dress’. (Extensive new pricing details to follow tomorrow)

Anyway, all the best for the New Year, I hope you all have a lovely night tonight, whether it’s curling up on the sofa or partying ‘out out’.

Love,

Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas!

December 23, 2011February 7, 2012 | SallyT

Just a quick post to wish you all a very Merry Christmas and a very happy and prosperous New Year. It’s all go at this end and I haven’t had much time to sit back and relax, but I can’t complain!

I’ d like to take this opportunity to thank everyone who has helped me in my first year of business, for your support and for your custom. I’ve met such wonderful people in the past year or so, and I’m so lucky to have found so many like-minded individuals who have given me the confidence to take everything in my own direction. I’m eternally grateful to my Grandpa Keith, who really helped me get started just over a year ago; he’s consistently enthusiastic about anything I do, and he still calls me ‘his Sally Wally’- what more could I wish for?! Also a huge thank you to David, my new husband, who has always supported me throughout the past five years, but has really ‘been there’ since I started snapping away; giving me advice, reassuring me or being someone to moan to when I can’t take being on hold to the HMRC any longer!

So here’s to a great Christmas, and high hopes for the New Year. Eat, drink and be merry!

Tees Valley Weddings Shoot (Preview)

August 16, 2011January 29, 2013 | SallyT

When Joanna from Tees Valley Weddings (a site to inspire and help brides in the NE) asked me if I’d be interested in a vintage vs contemporary wedding shoot at Whinstone View as the vintage photographer I jumped at the chance. I always get slightly nervous meeting more established photographers because I feel they’ll always know so much more than me, and that my equipment isn’t the best, and that they’ll have better ideas than me…. etc etc, but Michael & Phil from C & S Photography were lovely (their style is much more traditional) and I think the three of us together produced a good variety of images from the day showing a good variety of styles. Here are a few of my favourite shots from the day 🙂
