October 12th, 2011

When I do a brochure shoot for a wedding venue, I encourage the venue to include the suppliers who support the venue in their weddings and development. This particular assignment was for Park Hall Hotel, part of the Lavender and Best Western group. The wedding cars in this instance were supplied by Malvern Wedding Cars, a superb company I have dealt with regularly over several years. Read the rest of this entry »
