New photos and SEO update!

Sorry for lack of updates here. There are more updates on the main blog and this one (if you've found it randomly or are subscribed to it - THANKYOU) is purely to capture a wider audience! 

I've been doing a lot of background Search Engine Optimisation work on the website and also been buying some new URLs (not active yet) to act as new gateways for better SEO and linking.  The new SEO work isn't due to us having a lack of wedding photography work (very much far from it...the last 2 months saw us capture 7 amazing and totally different weddings all around the UK with more starting this coming weekend, the following weekend and 5 in August!)  It was purely because we really have some lovely content that was pretty much wasted as the site wasn't getting hit as much as I'd like so...

All this work has definitely paid off because the site's gone from being on around page 8 of Google for our most specific keywords to page 1 which I'm over the moon with. Also 2 other wedding magazines have found our work and want us to send them examples of weddings we've captured for possible features.

We're also going to be changing hosts to an SSD VPS soon as the shared effort that 1&1 provide is terrible and they randomly drop the site for no reason (monitored by a plugin I have in the admin on the site.  Anyhow...here's some more wedding photographs from around the UK and destination weddings. 

As always, if you have any questions or you'd love for us to capture your wedding, wherever in the world it may be, please fire away on the emails or on the chat window on our website - JustinKrause.co.uk / PhotographerSomerset.com.

We have been published and featured in the following magazines in the last couple of months.

Wedding Whispers front cover for Spring 2015 and inside feature.

We were also invited to feature in Brides Magazine, sister to Vogue (!) for the May/June issue with a photograph to help promote our business to their readers.

Brides is Britain's best-selling bridal magazine and has been inspiring and influencing its high-spending readership since its launch in 1955. In print, online and on the iPhone, Brides provides its readers with an unparalleled guide to getting married in style. Brides magazine is published bi-monthly.

Verity & Gary's engagement shoot!

Hi everyone! Very sorry for the total inactivity here on the blog but we've been so busy it's unreal. Given the choice to update the blog or do shoots/edit all the shoots I've obviously had to do the latter.

It seems the baby photography along with it, our sister company Little Bear Hand & Feet Castings has really come into it's own but more on that in a future post...maybe in a few days if you're lucky ..who knows !?

In the mean time here's some shots from Verity and Gary's engagement shoot or more accurately a 'pre-wedding' "get to know us and how we work and for us to see how they react to the camera and to see how comfortable they are being the centre of attention with a massive camera in their face" shoot!

Even with a little bit of rain we had a LOT of fun along with some interesting comments from some locals and Verity and Gary both passed with flying colours just being so relaxed and a good laugh.

We can't wait to shoot your wedding next month!

As always, if you have any friends getting married, don't hesitate to recommend us so they can get in touch to chat about their wedding photography! We shoot all over the UK and Internationally. email: weddings@justinkrause.co.uk

Ardtornish Estate on BBC Radio

I found this quite by accident as I was showing some prospective brides and grooms places we'd shot weddings at as they were after ideas for venues.

We shot a wedding up at Ardtornish, in the western Highlands of Scotland back in March 2012. It's simply beautiful with great people running it and is surrounded by some of the most incredible landscape (more photos of Scotland here), not only in the UK but in the world.

I thought I'd also take this opportunity to put up some previously unseen photographs from Jenny & Andy's wedding day we shot up at Ardtornish.

The evening reception included a ceilidh and as some might know you can't just photograph a proper ceilidh, it can be chaos and it's brilliant fun! So I filmed it on one of our Canon DSLRs with a 50mm lens.
