It is often hard to post the images we would ideally like to post here on our blog as so often the shoot is done for a bride to be as a gift for her groom on the day of their wedding, this can often be a long time off so we have to keep extremely quiet about the shoot even taking place!!!  However we do love to hear feedback when the great day arrives and not only is there a wonderful wedding taking place but the groom gets to open his superb gift.  One such bride has sent us this lovely email and has kindly agreed for us to publish it here on our blog, so a great big thank you Liz, from Earle and me:-)

Hi Jane

I’ve meaning to write to you and let you know how the photo album went when I gave it to Daniel.

Firstly I can’t believe I actually managed to keep it a secret all of that time!! :o)

I left it for him to open on the morning of the wedding, so I was not there to see his reaction but when we had a moment on our own later in the day he told me how amazed he was when he opened it!!   He really liked it particularly as it is s0 out of character for me - I’m never overly showy and am always a little self consious, so it made even more of a surprise.　 He really REALLY　loves it!

Sam and I enjoyed ourselves so much on the shoot and  I love all of the pictures and the final album.

Thank you so much!!

Liz

Well the day finally arrived and so did these three friends who found us all the way from Chard and Bristol in Somerset. We all had a brilliant day! Kerrie and the girls all had a perfectly girlie time preparing make up and hair and deciding which outfits to wear and in which order. It was brilliant to hear all the excited chatter and planning going on amongst them all.   Naturally Earle and I had discussed with Kerrie previously the order in which we were envisaging using the studio so she knew exactly how to guide the girls in their styling ideas to ensure the very best results.

Yet again we are going to have to wait a little while before we can ask the girls if we can post any of their images as each of them has a special occassion soon when they are planning to give their fiance/boyfriend/husband their albums as gifts. Hopefully once the wedding and a certain other wedding anniversary has happened we can publish some of their beautiful photographs here.

Thank you girls for putting your trust in us and for the lovely email we received yesterday. We are looking forward to you all seeing your images and will in touch just as soon as they are ready.

Our Sunday Diva from Southampton in Hampshire is another ‘bride to be’ so a high degree of discretion is required, well at least until after the wedding and our Diva husband has been thrilled with his beautiful gift from his wonderful bride!

This being said, the whole afternoon was quite brilliant, all those concerns most of us girls feel were dissolved in no time at all and we were cooking on gas! Our lovely ‘bride to be’ was a total star and engaged herself completely in the whole ethos of Concept Divas, her confidence in Earle and me allowed us to enjoy our creative side to the utmost, the results will be more than our Diva bride would ever possibly have imagined and her groom will definately be completely bowled over!

Thank you to all of you this weekend for your trust and enthusiasm, we promise you will only be able to be thrilled with the results!

Jane and Earle

This has been a busy and wonderful weekend for Concept Divas!

Saturday we were all Diva’d up with Jane and her lovely friend Kim, from Bournemouth and Poole area, here for their shoot. Kerrie had a fun time with each lady developing their preferred look ready for the first fling in the studio with Earle and me. Both Jane and Kim were brilliant and threw themselves into the spririt of the occassion despite a few little niggling nerves for the first few moments, they soon felt confident enough just to go with the flow and their trust in us was quite wonderful, a priviledge for us both to experience but very much endebted to Kerrie and the wonderful rapport she immediately enjoys with our clients.

Jane it was fantastic to meet you and what a wonderful birthday present to give your lovely friend, inspired in fact as it is something her partner Lee, will be thrilled with also!!!

Your images will be ready really soon, we will be in touch as promised as soon as they are on line and are looking forward to our time together again for you to view them on our mega screen!

As we mentioned the last week Kerrie was at the Opera House Bournemouth last Sunday contributing to the exhibition being hosted there by Wedding Daze magazine covering Hamshire and Dorset.  Kerrie was kept extremely busy and her Beautiful 2 Be Hair styling and Make up stand looked fantastic, she received marvellous feedback for her work and the images we were delighted to provide for her portfolio and the much larger prints for display purposes.  It was good news indeed to hear from Kerrie the high level of interest from couples in both our boudoir photography and Concept Photographic and their belief that our high quality work and client service ethics still has a strong lead on their list of priorities.  Kerrie is based in Poole and is happy to travel to clients in Dorset, Hampshire and Wiltshire.

Our amazingly talented hair stylist and make up artist Kerrie Reeves is at the Opera House Exhibition in Boscombe this Sunday 1st March if you are in the area or are looking around for an interesting Exhibition to attend call in at the Opera House and see Kerrie at work, say hello and enjoy her portfolio and the beautiful prints she will be exhibiting from Concept Diva couture boudoir and bridal boudoir shoots.
