August 2009 Limited Availability for 2010
wedding dates Each year I limit
myself to 70 weddings and am fast approaching that number of
wedding bookings for 2010.
By placing a limit on the number of
weddings I shoot each year I can ensure that the level
of service to each bride and groom is consistently high.
Unlike a lot of other photographers I only photograph
one wedding per day and anyone booking me for their
wedding is safe in the knowledge that I am the main
photographer and the one who will attend on the day,
unlike lots of others, I
don't farm jobs out to other photographers working on my
behalf. I am now only ten bookings away from reaching my
limit and closing the diary.
The summer books the fastest and as a result
I am no longer taking new bookings for weddings between May
and September 2010. Wedding dates between January and April
and October and December are still available, but with very
limited availability.

Chris Chambers Photography

August 2008 - 2009 wedding dates -
very limited availability This is
normally one of those messages that business put on
their website because they want to stir up some interest
and generate some enquiries, however in this case it is
genuinely true!
By placing a limit on the number of
weddings I shoot each year I can ensure that the level
of service to each bride and groom is consistently high.
Unlike a lot of other photographers I only photograph
one wedding per day and anyone booking me for their
wedding is safe in the knowledge that I am the main
photographer (Often with a second shooter) and I
don't farm jobs out to other photographers working on my
behalf. I am now only ten bookings away from reaching my
limit and closing the diary.

June 2007 - Hazelwood Castle Recommends Chris Chambers Photography.
Late June I joined the list of recommended
suppliers to the exclusive Hazelwood Castle venue near York. Chris
Chambers Photography is now recommended by the following venues -
Hazelwood Castle, Rogerthorpe Manor, Hodsock Priory, St Pierre Hotel and Burntwood
Court.
May 2007 - BBC1 TV Series 'The Big day' - Photographed by Chris Chambers
'The Big Day' , a new five-part, prime
time television series presented by Nick Knowles will be shown on
BBC1 from June 26th.
Nick Knowles said: "It's
supposed to be the happiest day of your life but very often the
stresses and strains of organisation and family feuds can make it
one of the most trying. We remove the bride and groom from this
stress and ramp up all the pressure on the two families by forcing
them to make all the decisions with all the consequences you would
expect."
The relatives will be
given a helping hand by a team of experts led by Nick Knowles , top
stylist Hannah Sandling and wedding expert James Love . The experts
will be there to ensure that the big day runs smoothly, on time and
on budget, and be better than the happy couple could have imagined
in their wildest dreams.
At the start of the week
Nick meets the bride and groom to learn about their hobbies,
favourite food and colours, personal preferences and outlook. This
crucial meeting will be the happy couple's only input into the
elements chosen by our team.
In the build up to the
show filmed late last year, I was short-listed along with nine other
top photographers from the Yorkshire region, following a series of
interviews and meetings I was chosen as a photographer for the
series and commissioned to photograph Paul and Emily's wedding
taking place at Christchurch Doncaster and then Hodsock Priory near
Blyth, South Yorkshire.
Mar 2007 -YWNG Wedding of the
Year Photographer 2008
Following the success of
this years wedding of the year, the Yorkshire Weekly Newspaper Group
(YWNG) have again chosen me as their photographer for the wedding of
the year 2008. The wedding will be on November 16th 2008 and entry
details are available in the Wakefield Express.
Feb 2007 - Special Offers for customers of
