We don't often post much here related to our on-location shoot's but I thought I would share with you a few frames from our recent Urban Portrait shoot in Hedge End, Southampton. We have currently got dates available this autumn for one2one or group photography sessions. Why not get in-touch to find out more about our on-location shoots.

Let me introduce you to Rebecca (16). Our secret Hedge End location provided the perfect backdrop for these gritty underground style photographs. A mixture of coloured lighting and bright clothes really made these images pop. Rebecca did her own makeup and hair for this shoot.

We are pleased to announce the launch of our brand new, squeaky clean, fresh new look exclusive client area. The great benefit of being an 'all occasions' customer is that we really look after our customers in this digital age. We know everyone has busy lives so to help with everything related to their wedding photography we have the online tools available 24 hours to help our customers both pre and post wedding. We are of course always available person to person but feedback shows over the last couple of years our previous customers absolutely love it. Here are some of the real time saving features:

1. Manage your personal details including all of your booking details.

2. Print off your paperwork at a touch of a button.    

3. Complete your wedding day itinerary and shot list.    

4. View your pictures within your very own personal photo gallery.    

5. Perform your picture rating to assist in your album design process.    

6. Comment and approve your album spread designs.    

7. Select your music and pick the pictures for your slideshow.    

8. Make contact with us at anytime using our messenger feature.    

9. Receive free text messages to keep you updated on important stages of your booking.

Let's face it. Nobody enjoys paperwork and 'all occasions' for many years have focused on providing the right tools to manage all aspects of your wedding photography without the need to handle silly forms or run ragged in convoluted processes. In a busy time both before and after your wedding it's important that you get things done quick and efficiently. This is why our unique online management system is just one example of the many value added services we offer as standard to all our customers.

For 'DVD Slideshow' customers we are very pleased to announce that we have just rolled out our new slideshow picture selection tool to ease the pain of choosing your pictures which will make it into your presentation. Simply scan your pictures, click the tick box and when your done press the complete button. It's that easy! You can even click the little thumbnail to preview a larger version. If you are also a wedding album customer you can review all your picture rating's for quick reference!

Here's a preview of the new screen which will become active in your account area at the right time.

Welcome to the new website of 'all occasions' photography. We thought that it was unfair that brides get the chance of having a makeover so we thought we would have one ourselves and this is the result.

The website

We wanted to keep up the user friendliness of our old website but wanted to freshen up the pages while introducing a few new features. We love our interactive photo walls on our gallery page. Why not check them out!

As like our old site we still want to offer the same great detail about our products. Unlike other websites we also felt it was still important to display our prices. It's still our great pricing model without the anything hidden!Just a side note. If you have subscribed to our RSS feed from our old website please do update your subscription by clicking on the RSS icon to the right of the blog list.

Can I also add that our previous blog went back many many years and it was felt unnecessary to include all of the old listings into our new blog. We have added a few important posts in from last year but generally we are starting a fresh.

Hope you like the new site... Stay tuned!

If you are already a customer of 'all occasions' you have no doubt logged in to your private account area by now. Once we have photographed your wedding you will now see a new section called Photo Gallery on the menu.

Our fantastic new application allows our customers to review larger versions of their photographs which helps make precise decisions during their picture rating process.

Picture Rating is process which our customers go through which provides the feedback we need to build a bespoke storybook wedding album.

Our Photo Gallery application also allows our customers to picture rate directly inside making it even easier to complete this process.

We hope all our customers enjoy using this brilliant tool.
