by HollyCurry | Jul 14, 2020 | Motherhood

The summer holidays are upon us. A time of year that most parents dread a little as 6/7 weeks is a LONG TIME! But this year, the vast majority are running on empty before we’ve even got there – because we’ve already had the kids at home for 4 whole...

"Thank you so much for the fantastic pictures, we spent all of last night going through them and loved every minute of it! How can we sum them up other than to say ā€˜WE LOVE THEMā€™!!!!. You have managed to capture our day perfectly! When we were viewing them it took us straight back to the most perfect day! We couldnā€™t be happier with them! We will of course write you a raving review, you were just what we wanted, friendly, informal and a FAB photographer." The feeling is very much mutual here, exactly the kind of wedding day I love to photograph. Joyful, lots of laughter, a stunning golden hour and the nicest people.

MORE WEDDINGS LIKE THIS ONE PLEASE šŸŒ³šŸ» Sara MORE WEDDINGS LIKE THIS ONE PLEASE šŸŒ³šŸ» Sarah and Ben had quite the covid messed up journey to this woodland ceremony beer festival wedding party of dreams at @linehamweddings. 6 wedding dates, 2 actual weddings and Iā€™m just so pleased this lovely couple finally got the day they wanted and deserved. And Iā€™ll be back for more wedding action with this family in 2024 for Rachel & Joe. šŸ„° Canā€™t think of a nicer family to spend all these wedding days with tbh. Hopefully one day theyā€™ll just adopt me. šŸ™‹šŸ¼ā€ā™€ļøšŸ¤£

HAPPY SATURDAY! šŸŒøšŸ¤ If a gaggle of gorgeous HAPPY SATURDAY! šŸŒøšŸ¤ If a gaggle of gorgeous Bridesmaids doesnā€™t say WEEKEND then I donā€™t know what does! May & June have been chock full with the most BEAUTIFUL WEDDINGS. All of them completely unique and different and Iā€™m so grateful to each and every one of you for choosing me to photograph it all! Hereā€™s Becky and her gals at @ruddingparkhotel - get the champagne in the fridge for a Monday evening @rebeccalong1 @maf_feather17, a big screen to look at your piccies on (youā€™ll need a good couple of hours, thereā€™s a lot!) and potentially a box of tissues - especially if youā€™re viewing with your parents!! šŸ˜­šŸ˜ā¤ļø
āš”ļøāš”ļøPHOTOGRAPHERS āš”ļøāš”ļø 121 mentor āš”ļøāš”ļøPHOTOGRAPHERS āš”ļøāš”ļø 121 mentoring and my Beyond the lens (from beginner to pro wedding photography) course are enrolling now! Hang on, isnā€™t it the middle of wedding season, I hear you cry?! It is indeed and Iā€™m double wedding-ing again this very weekend (in a 30 degree heatwave - send help!) but Iā€™m all about the variety and the balance and it turns out I blooming love sharing all I know and helping others get on their way with their photography businesses. Im keeping the spaces limited as I want to be able to support you properly! So what do I know about running a business? Quite a bit actually. I set my business up in 2017 when my confidence was in tatters (corporate job, return from maternity, I wonā€™t harp on about that) and Iā€™ve built it up to a business that is beyond what anyone expected of me, especially me. I left the job that was making me unhappy, started a new one that made me happy again, built my business up all by myself and then quit the nice day job in January 2020 - right before a blooming pandemic. I didnā€™t get a scrap of government support so it was make or break for my business. And much as I wish the pandemic had never happened, I came out of it with a much stronger business. Iā€™d say that was completely unexpected, but thereā€™s nothing unexpected about it! Iā€™ve worked my ass off and consistently invested in learning the sh*t I needed to learn to get exactly where I am today. Iā€™ve made ALL the mistakes, learned ALL the lessons the hard way (still learning!) and had ALL the mindset / imposter syndrome type wobbles. Iā€™m not the finished product (who is?!) but I am living and breathing proof that it can be done. Itā€™s totally possible to build a solid and profitable photography business thatā€™s more than a ā€œhobbyā€ or a ā€œside hustleā€ you just have to really want it. And yes, I do believe thereā€™s room for us all! You can have a nosey at the course info by clicking the link in my bio OR you can drop me a message and letā€™s chat about where you are now with your business! šŸ“ø @thisisjules
