I am excited that the Bridal Show season is coming up so quickly (of course, there are a million things to do)! As I began making my to-do lists and starting making decisions to define who we will be for the next wedding season, I was struck by the fact that I LOVE photographing weddings! Weddings are the ONLY place that I have found endless outlets for my creativity (aside from my crazy – or “weird” as my mom calls it – artwork and ideas about sculpture). At a wedding (at least with the way I shoot), I am constantly switching from capturing fashion/edgy posed images to photo-journalistic candids; then, I stop to photograph the buildings and architecture, and, oh wait, there are all kinds of little tiny details surrounding me to fill endless frames of digital memory. Plus, it is so much fun to get to know the couples and to see how every single couple’s wedding (not to mention relationship and ways of interacting) is completely unique.
I spent a bit of time trying to re-define our brand a bit. I decided to juxtapose the following words, which simultaneously define our image and indicate that we’re completely custom:
And from there, I decided that I wanted to update our over-all “look”. I haven’t quite made it to the blog redesign, yet, but I have a few really great ideas that I am excited to complete!
This is probably my first blog post with actual paragraphs! It is my goal (on my little to-do list) to become a better blogger for our family, friends, clients, potential clients, and hopefully someday, other photographers. With the future in mind, I also just want to also thank all of our brides that have booked us and have allowed us to photograph their weddings this year, to start defining our signature style! We are so truly blessed to be a part of the greatest weddings with the kindest people. I’ve been frantically working on sample albums, to insure they’re here in time for the bridal shows and I began realizing that we booked 25 weddings in 9 months, with just ONE wedding album, ONE fashion album, and ONE large canvas print (and a few other things completely unrelated to weddings). THANK YOU so much to the brides who were able to see a little creatively and have faith that we really would deliver! I am just so excited right now and sitting in anticipation for what the future holds!
The first bridal show we’re participating in this fall is Taste of the Gardens at Crystal Gardens, September 22.
