Sessions must be taken within a 15 miles radius of Grimsby, as calculated by Google Driving Directions. Outside this, an extra fee may apply to cover additional distance. Contact us for more information.

{ Special Offer - Acrylic Blocks }

When you take a session with us, it normally comes with a free print.


But, as we are running a series of special offers at the moment, we thought it may be time to offer something a little different with our sessions.


We have a limited offer of three sessions that, instead of the usual print, we are going to offer these sessions with a Free Acrylic Block. 


These are made from a 20mm thick acrylic plastic, that is perfectly clear, and has the print mounted in the middle of the block.


Being freestanding, they are a great, contemporary way of displaying your print. They can be stood on a side table, above a fireplace, or even on the office desk at work!

These beautiful products are available with three special offer sessions for the amazing price of just £25.


So, that's just £25 for the session, and the acrylic block mounted print. 


If you would like to ask about booking yours, then just get in contact with us, either through our website at www.btcphoto.co.uk or via our facebook page. Or, if you prefer, you can call (or text) us on 07546 993027


Thanks for reading,

{ New Products - Our New Photo Books }

Well,


Each week, we receive dozens of E-Mail from suppliers (new and existing) offering us new products.


Every so often, we get something that interests us. We don't like changing suppliers as we know our suppliers, and they know us, we have met them, and discussed our needs, and we've seen samples, and have had our works reproduced by them, so we know what we, and ultimately our customers are getting.


Now, last year we get offered a photobook from a supplier that we have used for a long time (Over three years). We know there product, and we know how they print, so we are comfortable that when they print something for us, it is right.


As I said, these are usually designed as a bespoke keepsake for wedding customers. A great memory of the day, a unique and custom designed book, that helps tell the story of the day.


But, recently, we have been able to negotiate a better price on future orders, so we now feel that these are now a great addition to our portrait customers also, who may want their photos to be kept in an album that is designed specifically for them, as a one off. Now, that's got to be better than the old type of "Slip In" albums!


Here are a few images from one of our wedding albums, to give you an idea.

The key points are that the album is printed onto Fuji Professional DPII paper. Unlike many other books, that are printed onto a thinner paper that is not "True" photo paper. The album is then bound together in a protective cover, that will help keep the pages inside in pristine condition. 


They also "lay Flat", so there it doesn't matter if you have an image spread across two pages of the book, when it is open, a unique binding will keep the image flat so its all visible!


These are available in a 12"x8" (roughly A4 size), 20 page hard backed book, for only £150.


If you would like more information about these, or any of our other products, then contact us, either through our facebook page, or via our website at www.btcphoto.co.uk

{ New Products - More Details On Our New Canvas Prints }

A few days ago, we managed to put an end to months of negotiations with a suppliers of Canvas prints, and photo books.

Whilst the "behind the scenes" work on this was tiring, nearly all of the credit here goes to Allyson, whose dedication and hard bargaining got us to a price point that we where happy with. My part in this, was merely to provide the images for the samples, and to assess the quality of the finished product.

Today, I blocked out some time in the diary to photograph these, so that we could show them to you all.

First, lets start with the canvas print.

We now offer two types of canvas print; Our Deluxe range, that many of of you have seen, and have hanging in your homes, and our New standard range.

Priced lower than our deluxe range, they offer excellent value for money, but still retaining the high standards that we demand from our suppliers.

The images are printed onto brilliant white canvas, before being stretched over a Baltic Pine frame. They are supplied ready to hang, so all you need to do is pick where you want to hang your new canvas in your home.

Have a look at some of the images of them so you can see for yourself.

These new range of canvas prints are available from just £75 for a 12"x16" canvas print.

They are currently available in three sizes but more will be added as soon as they become available to us.

Sizes available are:

12"x16"
16"x20"
16"x24"

If you would like more information about these, or any of our other products, then contact us, either through our facebook page, or via our website at www.btcphoto.co.uk

{ New Range Of Budget Canvas Prints - And Photo Books Too! }

We are always striving to get better products to offer our customers.


Now, after a long period of negotiation with a supplier, we are pleased to announce that we are now offering a range of better value canvas prints.


These will run alongside our Deluxe range that many of you are already familiar with, and have hanging in your homes.


Now, full details will follow shortly, and so will product photos. We have our sample print and are happy with it. 


To start with, they will be available in the following sizes:


12"x16" - £75
16"x20" - £80
16"x24" - £85


More sizes will be available shortly, and will be added to the On-Line Galleries soon, so you will be able to order them from there too.


We will also be offering "Collection Packages" so you can create a stunning wall art set from your images, similar to this:

Another new product for our portrait customers, is a range of Photo books.

These are a great way of displaying your favorite photos from your session in a professionally printed, customer designed, hard backed album that you can cherish and keep forever.

Although these are more popular with our wedding customers, with the advent of the recent VAT cut on albums and photo books, our suppliers have now reduced the prices of these, so we will pass this saving on to our customers (seems only fair, right?) and as such, we can now offer these at a competitive price to our customers. At a level now, that we feel will make them attractive to our portrait customers too.

I will get both the canvas and the photo books photographed over the next few days, and will get the images and more details posted on here, and on our facebook page too.

Oh, and don't forget that we are running a competition on our website, where you could win a free photo session.

All you need to do enter, is simply go to our website at www.btcphoto.co.uk and click on the link to enter the competition.

{ Wow, How Time Flies! }

Okay, 


So it's been a very long while since I last posted on here, in fact I hadn't realized just how long it had been!


So, a lot has happened in the last few months...Okay, so the last update here was September last year. I know, I'm sorry, I've been slacking!


So, Lets update on just what has been happening..


Well, there has been lots of family sessions, a few weddings, the Christmas shutdown, Birthday Parties, Lots has happened, and it's been fun. 


But, I'm not going to recap every session that we've covered over the last few months, but I just have to share some photos that I managed to take of our own kids. It's not often that I get the chance to photograph them, so when I can, it's good to update the family photos.


Starting with, a session that we did just after Christmas of our youngest son, Caiden.


Seeing as this was his first birthday, we marked it with one of my favorite types of photo sessions; "The Cake Smash"


These are a great memory and keepsake of their first birthday. Makes a bit of a mess, but that's easily cleaned up thanks to the wipe clean white vinyl sheet that we use!

Now, they all start off in pretty much the same way, a nice clean child and a complete cake!


But, soon the destruction starts, and they end up in a mess.








I love these sessions. The photos that we get from them are just great!

Now, some are a little more careful than others, and don't make too much mess to start with, but after a while...well...

It doesn't take too long to clean up, like I say, there is a white vinyl sheet that we use to catch most of the mess, and they tend to eat the rest of the cake!

And, of course there are more than just him, so recently we got the chance to update the family photo's of our own kids. Now, this doesn't happen that often, so when the chance to get them all together, in the same place and at the same time, then we have to take it!

So, After much convincing of them (okay, so we may of had to bribe the eldest...a little...) we got them all together and had some fun taking there photos. Even managed to get their Mum on the photos too!

So, that's the family portrait out of the way (obviously, I'm not in it, but someone has to take the photo - besides, I'm not in the least little bit photogenic!)

There are a few more over on our Facebook Page

Grimsby Event Photographer { Charity Night In Aid Of Breast Cancer Charity }

As well as family & baby portraits and weddings, we also cover events too.

Usually, these are in aid of a charity and this one was too.

We love charity events, and can often attend for free, and give a commission of the print sales as a donation to the benefiting charity.

This charity night, was heard about via facebook. A lady on there was holding the event to raise money for a breast cancer charity. We were only too willing to help her with this, so we contacted her, and put our proposal to her.

A couple of phone calls later, and we had ironed out the details. The night of the event came around, and we had organised childcare for our own kids, and Allyson, and myself loaded the kit into the car, and set off.

We didn't have to travel too far, as the venue was only a few minutes away from our house.

Once we arrived, we started to setup.

Background, Lights, Camera, Computer equipment and Printer. When we cover events, we use a professional, Dye-Sub printer that gives a lab quality print that the guests can walk away with only a few minutes after it was taken. Unlike ink-jet prints, they don't run or fade.

Then, the guests started to arrive, and of course, they all had their chance to be photographed, and then review the image straight away.

We had laughs, smiles, and the odd "Ewww, I don't like that, can you re-take it, please?", well, yes of course we can, that's the beauty of digital - you can see the images as soon as they're taken on our viewing station, and if you're not happy, we can re-shoot.

So, this is how it went for the next few hours.

All in all, a successful night. Okay, so more guests could of attended, as the organiser sold more tickets than she had guests arrive, but, these things happen.

We were able to raise some money for the charity, so we'd consider it a success.

Anyway, as always, here are a few of the images from the night.

So, if you're planning an event, be it a dinner night, a ball, charity event or even a corporate night. Why not have us attend, and offer a professional photographer, with On-Site printing. Remember, we can often attend for free, AND give you a commission off each print sold. Basically, we pay you for letting us come along. Now that's a great deal!
