(IPAAT). You may have come across my story a few weeks ago in the Clitheroe Advertiser & The Longridge News, as it isn't just me locally that is also competing, I am sharing this great experience with My sister Ana (Intermediate Hoop), and my sister in law Hayley (advanced silks) Making us a sister Trio in the whole competition. We have been training for the last couple of months, blood, sweat, burns and tears have gone into out aerial performances, and yes occasionally I think we are boarderline crazy, and think to ourselves "what the heck are we doing?" When I first started aerial at The Aerial Lounge in Clitheroe a year and a half ago I could barley lift my own body weight, let alone climb the silks. Six months passed and I doubted I would even get off the ground! Then one day I DID IT! I climbed up! After then I got the first feeling of flying! my strength was improving and I could learn more tricks.  This was my first goal, to have my first aerial photo shoot. Although I wasn't too far from the ground a lot of training went into achieving this pose. Soon a year had passed and I was focusing my training for my first ever routine at the annual Christmas Showcase. Nerves nearly got the better of me, and I nearly jibbed a few times, but I did it, I got on that stage and gave it my all. I was elated and buzzing when I finished I wanted to do it all over again.  So I decided to give myself the ultimate challenge and enter the IPAAT. I submitted my video, not even considering I would make the semi-finals, let alone the finals - BUT I did!
So wish me luck for me on Sunday the 19th June 2016.  Mr & Mrs Perry were married at the Stunning historic 14th century timbered mansion - Samlesbury Hall situated in the heart of Lancashire, provided beautiful backdrops for their wedding photo album. Their spring wedding celebrations started a few miles down the road at the Tickled Trout Hotel in Preston, where Mrs Perry and her four beautiful bridesmaids were excitedly getting ready, busy having their hair & make up professionally applied, and getting ready in the stunning handmade dresses. Here are some of the highlights below; Venue: Samlesbury Hall Preston Photography: Sarah McLean Photography                    Such a beautiful Spring day for Mr & Mrs Perry's April wedding. The sun was shining over Salmesbury Hall - awaiting the Bride's arrival. Here is a couple of sneaky peeks of the new Mr & Mrs Perry!   And not forgetting their awesome guests that were there to celebrate with them !

Also put into consideration if you are getting them printed - the printer's lead times. Do you offer Air-Brushing? - Yes, and although you will look ace with out it, I like to offer my client's the full glossy mag experience with air brushing, for the added confidence. -Additional airbrushing such as body sculpting is available, this is charged at £23 per hour as it is more complex.
