First class delivery ..

They say the best Wedding bookings come via 'Word-of-Mouth', but wait 'til you hear about the Wedding I booked over the weekend. Leasha and Callum came to see me at Manchester Wedding Photography and I asked them, as I ask all couples, just how exactly they came to hear of me. I mean, God knows, I put that much effort into Social 'Meeja' and website SEO that it is nice every now and again to hear that's it's actually worked! "Google?" .. I asked "Wedding Fayre? Hotel flyer?..." No, they answered, none of that! Turns out there was a postman who used to deliver to the offices that my partner used to work in, who was told by my partner about my work, who knows Leasha's Mum and who passed her my details and she, after vetting my site, told her daughter in Sheffield who then came to see me at the weekend! How's that for a first-class delivery? What a route! So that's it! No more faffing about with keywords and tag lines .. I'm just gonna start bribing posties across the North-West! .. 

Lucky 13 ..

It's Friday the 13th, and I'm feeling really lucky! A local magazine is carrying what must be the weirdest by-line I've ever had. The tag runs 'Front cover photo by and of Martin O'Neill' .. my italics! At the beginning of the year our Culcheth Essential Guide mag began a year-long series of profiles of local businesspeople, and I was asked if I'd take the shots as I very often provide the front cover image for the company. Well, call me biased, but I thought a good start to the series would be a photograph of .. me! So I shot the proverbial selfie and, as I say, it's the front cover of the mag .. until I shoot the next one!..

I'm showing a flower photo because I want to tell you about a 'Pop-up shop' that I'm having next month. I was told about some space that can be hired withing the reception area of Warrington General Hospital, and have managed to book a date there at the beginning of March. I thought it would be the ideal opportunity to try to sell some of my Florescence photography - bright colours and good vibes within a hospital, and all that!..

Tomorrow I'm being visited by a bride and groom who are coming all the way from Sheffield to see me! Their Wedding is exactly one year today! They really like the look of Manchester Wedding Photography so let's hope that, this time tomorrow, I'll know what I'm doing on Saturday the 13th of February ..
