Born from covid lockdown, business women were having to change direction in life to adapt to new and unprecedented lifestyle situations. With immense positivity and the determination to not let obstacles get in their way (like a global pandemic), business women from various areas in Lancashire were attending trainings and enjoying the facility of the online networking phenomena. It was during lockdown that the networking group ‘Mothers in Business’ or ‘MIB’ grew to bring together business women from across the Lancashire region, spanning across every industry.
It was during a network event that Katie Parrott, the owner of ‘Dove Barn Weddings’, was invited along to a networking session. To the delight of Joanne Lazarus, The Mothers in Business network leader at the time, was quick to let Katie know her thoughts on a collaboration to form a ‘time for print” or ‘TFP’ wedding shoot. This is a way for businesses to publicise their products & services by creating bespoke content for their own social media pages.
Being a newly trained wedding celebrant at the time, Joanne Lazarus decided to produce a unique wedding style photoshoot to display the plethora of unique businesses within the organisation in the wedding & events industry. Bringing together a team of wedding suppliers to showcase their talents and creativity, from florists and stylists to photographers and celebrants. We are part of the wedding industry and have collaborated together on this very exciting project.
How fascinating and exciting to be the instigator of such production.
Quick to ask fellow industry and network comrades; MUA Kelly Waters, Alternative Florist Joanne Walls and Flower Buddy Michelle to help co produce, the Dove Barn wedding shoot soon came to life.
“Before I trained as a wedding celebrant, I wouldn’t have had this idea in my head!”
The business women managed to organise and plan the whole shoot in a week, including arranging logistics and the itinerary for the day. The shoot consisted of two bridal shops, two florists, a photographer, a wedding celebrant, a make-up artist, a hairdresser and a lovely soon-to-be-wed couple Hayley & Denise, who were delighted to model out their big day for the shoot. We would like to thank Hayley & Denise for being wonderful brides for the day and modelling the dresses so beautifully.
