Polaroid Wedding Guest Books {Point Blank Weddings}
Are you sick of seeing abandoned Guest Books at Weddings? So are we! Here at Point Blank Photography we thrive on originality, creativity and sourcing new products to use. We sat down and thought hard on how we could offer our wonderful clients a brand new service that is not only original and stylish but that would be a great keepsake that you could treasure and actually look at. We’re pretty confident that our wedding guest books won’t end up in the back of a cupboard like most!
Our specialist team spends approximately 2hours during your reception using our Fuji Instax 210 to capture Polaroid-style images of your guests that are then stuck into your chic guest book, next to which the guests can write their personal messages to you and your groom.
Our Polaroid Wedding Guest Books are a truly original keepsake that is not only cool, but can add a bit of vintage fun for you and your guests.
Prices from £495 (dependent on guest numbers) and includes ALL film, a high quality guest book and a photographer to take your guests images.
Please view our Polaroid Wedding Guest Books Page for more information or if you would like to book us for your wedding please contact us.

Melton Toys Xmas Tour
With the festive season upon us and now in full swing for the visit of Santa Claus, James Colclough proprietor of the very fine Melton Toys asked us photographers at Point Blank Photography to update his Google Places page, Facebook and website with his very own personalised 360 Google tour of his toy shop to show off all the lovely goodies on sale.
We absolutely love browsing through his shop when taking all the photographs for his tour, sometimes it doesn’t even feel like work to us.
James has been a good sport and a bit of a guinea pig for us in the early stages of the Google Business Photos project, he was the first toy shop in the Midlands to use the new technology supplied by Point Blank Photography and now really uses the power of Google tours for his business, this is the second tour we have created for the toy shop this year as James was so pleased with the response and extra views he had online from his previous version, he thought outside of the box and ran a competition to spot toys in the store with prizes up for grabs for the lucky spotters which we thought was a brilliant idea.
If you think you could benefit from a 360 interactive virtual tour of your business supplied by Jay Pickersgill or Kate Daniels of Point Blank Photography in conjunction with the Google Business Photos project then please get in touch via email or phone and we will come and visit your business a give you a FREE evaluation of what you need and how much it will cost.
Merry Xmas

Blogging Event at Scalford Hall
Blogging for Businesses
We have just returned home from an excellent FREE blogging event at Scalford Hall, put on in conjunction with Melton Borough Council to help businesses ‘get to grips’ with blogging and learn what to do next with it. Both Jay and Kate of Pointblank Photography took advantage of the workshop hosted by Michelle Jones at Ketchup Marketing, who guided us through the massive world of what to blog, how to tag, which keywords to use and all the other things that become more apparent the further you delve.
Blogging is a great tool for any business. It allows customers/clients to keep up to date with what you are doing, give them a personal feel for you and your company and most of all re-assures people looking at your blog that you are still an active company.
There were many different types of business owners at the event from both Melton Mowbray and Rutland, all (including us!) were somewhat novices in the blogging scene. After 2 hours (and numerous cups of tea and biscuits!) Michelle had explained and shown what blogging, tagging and categorizing can do to improve your Google rankings (who check every page of your site every 3 weeks or so). It is important to add new content so that the Google spider can pick up the new content and improve/alter you rankings. We are now geared up and trying out the information we received from the event to reach even more of you.
