YouTube Dirty Dancing phenom to share photo tips

We’re pleased to announce that Julia Boggio, one of the UK’s top wedding and portrait photographers, is leading the photography session at BritMums Live! Julia is a regular, popular columnist for Photo Professional magazine and, in the past few years, Julia has achieved over 30 magazine covers, including Cosmo Bride and You & Your Wedding – the magazine that gave her the Brides’ Choice award in 2010. Julia and her husband run a family, couple and boudoir portrait studio based in Wimbledon (www.juliaboggiostudios.com). Known for their fun and boutique style, their images decorate the walls of hundreds of homes across the southeast of England. Julia has won admiration not just for her photography, but also for her business acumen; she was awarded Entrepreneur of the Year in Merton in 2010 and 2011, the latter while she was on maternity leave after giving birth to her first child in May.

Julia and her husband, James, are also internationally infamous for posting their first dance from their wedding on You Tube. Their Dirty Dancing video spurred a worldwide trend in choreographed first dances and they’ve appeared on news shows across the globe, including Richard & Judy, BBC Breakfast, and GMTV in the UK, Sunrise TV in Australia, and The Oprah Winfrey Show in the US – where Julia danced with Patrick Swayze. Considered to be one of the first “You Tube phenomena”, Julia writes about what happened next to the Dirty Dancing couple in her successful mummy blog,www.icarriedawatermelon.co.uk
