This summer’s spate of delayed weddings is set to continue into the autumn – wedding planners were booked up to the end of 2022 as long as 18 months ago (BBC News, February 25th 2021) and it hasn’t eased off. More venues including outdoors have been authorised, and ceremonies late in the year will give photographers a great chance for high orders in time for Christmas get-togethers.

Clients who have not placed orders from recent weddings need reminding now to get them in soon as lab deadlines are expected to be earlier than ever.

Ouse Valley Processing have an offer for wall-hanging acrylics at 20% off and a special promotion for weddings and family shoots – calendars with one image per month and the photographer’s branding on every page. At £11 these are an ideal ‘free’ incentive for high value bookings or orders… and extra sales of the calendar can put the icing on the Christmas cake!

Improving on the camera pole idea this lightweight glass fibre construction from Composite Poles – combined with lighter high resolution mirrorless cameras and easy remote viewing, focusing and triggering from smartphones and tablets – is a must for aerial photography.

The BROGE Traveller’s Pole comes in a custom bag, collapsing to just 79cm. Five sections extend to a maximum of 2.7m or higher than 3m when held. It’s easy to move round with this pole and capture movies and stills in city locations where drone photography is not allowed. A tilting camera mount is easy to set to match your chosen lens angle.

It also helps create better photographs indoors at church weddings, trade shows and fairs or in factories and retail spaces. The height is just right to allow easy hand holding with the pole weighing only 1.1kg and taking a load up to 2kg. It can be supported using a waist pouch, on the ground or any solid surface.
