The National Wedding Show, Earls Court

Just a quick post to say a huge thank you to everybody who came to visit us this weekend at the National Wedding Show. It was a very busy show, with both Saturday and Sunday fully sold out. Who says that there's a recession on ??

An even bigger thanks goes out to all of you who booked us for your wedding at the show, and a little hello to those who have since called and booked too.

Dates for 2010 are starting to get taken up now, so if you are considering calling us to discuss your plans, please do so soon to avoid disappointment!

I also want to say thanks to a few friends... My best and beautiful friend Nicky, from Nicky Adams Photography, for helping me setup in the chaos on Thursday. I love you babe.

Thanks to Laeony for your help on Friday, and being there when I needed to go to the loo! Sorry that the food was so bad!

Massive thanks too, to the gorgeous Kate for doing what you do so well, and for looking sensational in your stunning dress - oh, and for losing that poundage in the last few weeks so you could get back into the dress again too! You made the stand.

Finally, to my recently appointed assistant, the most delightful Isabelle - you were just smashing for those two days and I simply could not have broken down the stand without you. Huge kisses to you.

So, to all those of you who visited us at the show ... call us now, before it's too late!

National Wedding Show - a Great Success!

Even though it was only a few weeks ago, it seems like ages. Late February, we exhibited at the National Wedding Show at London's Olympia Exhibition Hall. An exhausting three day event with thousands upon thousands of visitors.

We would like to extend our thanks to all of you who found our stand amongst the hundreds of exhibitors and even more thanks to those of you who booked during the show. We have had many enquiries and bookings since, and the year is filling up nicely!

I also need to give a huge Thank You to two very special friends, without whose help I could not have managed.

My good friend, and fellow photographer, Gill Taylor travelled all the way down from her base in Stafford to help bring some business in.

As well as this, the lovely Kate, my bride from December, also helped out for the weekend - firstly by simply looking stunning (again), in her wedding dress, and also chatting to potential couples about her experience of Matt Pereira Photography.

Between the three of us, we had a fantastic few days.

Here are a few photos from the weekend.

On Saturday evening we found an amazing new Italian restaurant called "Il Postino" on Kensington High Street. Authentic home-cooked food, from real Italian owners whose hospitality was simply outstanding. The food was just out of this world ...

Thank you again to everybody who made this weekend a success .. Kate, Gill and of course, the visitors!
