Our first experience participating in the Western NC Bridal Show was fun! We had a blast meeting so many great people including Brides & Grooms-To-Be, Moms, and other wedding vendors.

Honestly, the whole “solicitation thing” can be uncomfortable for us “creative types”.  We find it difficult to play the role of a pushy salesperson so instead just enjoyed the time of getting to have real conversations with people. We kept it simple by letting our booth and albums show off our photos and style. The best part was getting to hear the ideas, details, and planning process behind the many weddings that will be taking place in 2011, 2012 and even one in 2013! We had two of our awesome 2010 brides on hand in our booth to share their entire wedding experience and answer Bride’s questions first hand.

We hope that those of you who we connected with in our booth will CONTACT US to take the next step in planning your wedding photography!

Here are a few photos of our setup at the show taken just minutes before the doors opened.

If you were a Bride-To-Be that opened one of these, don't forget to book your wedding photography package by February 14th to claim your free stuff!

Thanks to Tamara Hundley Events for our linens.

FINALLY! After months of research, talking about it, and wishing we had…We created a blog! We are thrilled that it is finally underway and and can be checked off our list.  We thought what better to be our first post than to look back on 2010 with all we have to be thankful for.

2010 was an amazing year for us. By far one of the busiest in our careers.  It has been an incredible blessing to meet new people and make new friends all while doing what we love to do and watching our business grow.  To have earned the trust of so many clients who placed one of the most important days of their lives in our hands is a compliment beyond measure.

We continued to feed our creativity and educate ourselves whenever possible. Much in part to The Light Factory, WPPI, and other amazing photographers, who we call friends, that let us constantly pick their brains. In 2010 we added off-camera lighting to our artillery. This allowed us to finally capture our visions of dramatic light and perfect exposures. No more painful battles with dark reception halls or direct sunlight!  Just one more way of setting ourselves apart from the rest.

We won’t stop there.  We have BIG plans for 2011 and can’t wait to share the excitement.  We’re looking forward to what God has in store for us and the creative opportunities that our clients bring on!  In the meantime enjoy looking back at 2010 as we share our favorite wedding images and we hope you will keep coming back for more.
