Thanks to all those that came out to hear Sam (Hassas Photography) and Evan (Evan Baines Photography) talk. I can’t emphasize enough how thankful we are that you all came out to support this event. We’ll have more in the future!

Edit: I also wanted to thank Sarah’s brother Jacob for helping us out as well. He’s leaving for boot camp with the Marines on Monday. He’s a wonderful friend and brother-in-law and I can’t say thanks enough for all the times he’s watched our kids and been the impromptu babysitter so many times.  Have a safe trip sir!

edit: My sincere apologies to Kimberley. I’ve misspelled her name twice in a row now! I can no longer talk of my victories in spelling bees back in middle school. ::hangs head in shame::

Honestly, it has been incredibly busy lately. There are literally too few hours in the day. We’re not only keeping up with all the beautiful weddings but we are busy preparing for the bridal show coming up next month. The booth has been designed and it will be assembled this Sunday for a mockup. It includes custom hand printed wallpaper from Bradbury & Bradbury out of California and a few framed photographs. I want it to stand out but I don’t want it to be busy and obnoxious.  I hope we don’t disappoint. We’ll have no slideshow, no plasma TV, and no electronic gizmos. It’ll just be photographs and albums. All things people can touch and feel.  Please come out and say hi!

The Everything Bridal Show – Sunday September 12th. Doors open at 10:00am and the show ends at 3pm.  We would really enjoy some company.

A few shots from last weekend with more on the way!

Thanks to everyone that has given us words of encouragement. Sarah and I are really blessed to be around such a great group of people.

Here’s a few quick random snaps from the past couple of days.

I realized that we’ve not made any official post to show what we offer for product. Sarah and I quickly ordered up an album, a guest book and a custom photo box to share with everyone.  I wanted this to be a simple post with just photographs of the product but I wanted to take a second to explain my thoughts and feelings. I have a passion for not only the product itself but the importance of getting an album. There are a lot of couples today looking to hire a photograher to show up for the ceremony and reception and then just simply provide a disc of digital negatives. There is nothing wrong in going this route. But now that you have the disc what are you going to do with it? I’ve talk to a few couples that the disc is either laying in a drawer somewhere or has been misplaced.

The newlywed life is often so hectic, why not let us do the work for you? Any time you hire us out for albums and design we’ll send the layouts to you for approval before it goes to print. The album company we use is far superior to what is available to the general public. Anything happens to your album, we’ll have it reprinted. Seriously. The guarantee on these are fantastic. We not only stand behind our work but also the companies we use for creating these beautiful masterpieces.

To touch, feel and see these up close, come see us at the upcoming Hy-Vee Bridal Show on September 12th! We’ll have several albums out for everyone to look through as well as a fun booth to walk through. Really looking forward to seeing everyone there!

Have a wonderful rest of the weekend!

I love these guys. Laura has to be the most animated person I know. Her quick wit and ability to get a crowd of people smiling is amazing. John has a personality to match and is so easy going. We had photographed Laura and John’s engagement session earlier this year and we were so impressed with their ability to be comfortable in front of the camera. Anxious and excited only begins to describe how we felt once we put them on the wedding calendar. Both the Wadle and Wills family are some really wonderful people. We thank them for not only having us out to photograph but to participate in this beautiful wedding. You were all amazing!

I hope you guys had a blast in Florida! We’ve got SO many photographs that I wish we could have put them all up. But this set is pretty jam packed. Excited to share them all with everyone!
