So we have one more bridal show this season. Why? Because we have a few more dates open for 2010 and we are looking to fill up our 2011 wedding calendar.

Are you getting married in 2011? Think that its too early to book a wedding photographer? Maybe – but if you don’t want to settle for your 3rd or 4th choice, then I would put selecting a photographer at the top of your list of professional vendors to have for your wedding day. Ceremony and reception (food is included in this) are definitely #1 & #2. Then #3 & #4 should be photographer & videographer (if you are going to hire both). DJ is next, cake, invitations (we can help with these) and other small things that will be needed for your wedding.

So where will this bridal show be held? At the Glenmore Country Club in Canton. February 28, 2010.

Come and visit us – we have some great incentives for couples that sign with us. What is this offer? I cannot go into too much detail, you will have to come and visit us at the bridal show to find out. Here is a hint on what we are offering – looking for a FREE wedding album? We can show you how to accomplish this and much more.

There is no cover charge, and there will be a great selection of professional wedding vendors to talk about your wedding day with.

Below is a slideshow to highlight some of the images that we captured at weddings in 2009.

Invest in your wedding images with us – we are much more then wedding photographers. Want to find out how we can help you plan a stress free wedding day? Contact Us and we can show you how this is possible.

Well if you live in the Eastern portion of the USA or even in the middle north portion of the US – you know that we were hit with some snow in the last week. And they are saying that more is coming in the coming week. Oh well.

Jessica and Matt – this is the second engagement session with us, and they wanted to wait to get some snow so they could have some fun outdoors and get some great images. One thing that I notice is that guys (I’m included in this) think that its OK to go out with shoes and a small jacket ion 20F weather. It’s because we are TOUGH! Or something like that. So we photographed in several different areas and whiole walking towards another area, Jessica and Matt decided that they would start throwing some snow at each other. Well it started with snow then it went to snowballs.

I am proud to say that no future bride was hurt during this snowball throwing break that was taken. The image looks like the snowball was going for Jessica’s head, but that is just an illusion on how I captured the image. I thought that it was a great shot and told the couple that I would post it.

Thanks for braving the cold – I will have more images from this session up soon, plus I will have them posted on their blog site (mentioned in a post below).

We photographed Michelle and Ryan’s wedding and since we were dropping off their album we would tape their testimonial.

Here is what they have to say about their wedding day.

I just learned this year that a wet knot is a tighter knot. It rained on Michelle and Ryan’s wedding day, but they were prepared for this possibility and this did not phase anyone from enjoying their wedding ceremony and the reception. Have you seen the home movie clips of brides and ladies getting knocked down during the bouquet toss? Well some of Ryan’s friends thought that it would be cool to tackle him after he sent the garter sailing. Even the DJ commented that this was the first time that they had seen this.

Michelle and Ryan – Thank you again for selecting us to photograph your wedding.

So everyone has a blog right? How about one that can be used as a place that you can share your thoughts and wedding memories with your friends and family members?

We made a custom blog for Jessica & Mat. They are getting married soon, and thought that it would be different if they used some of their engagement portraits and share them with everyone.

To take a look at their blog, check out this link.

Since the bridal show at Westfield Belden Village Mall, we have booked up 2 more wedding dates for 2010. This gives us a total of 11 Saturdays that are booked up this year.

We still have some dates available, and one of these dates may be yours. Fill out our contact information and let us know what your wedding date is and we will check it against our calendars to see if we have it available.

For those that are looking for wedding dates in 2011 – I would start looking and booking soon. We have 8 Saturdays that are booked up, and from the looks of all the inquiries that we have been receiving we will book up quickly. Not only will booking a wedding photographer take one more thing off your “to get done list”, but it will also give you time to spend with your photographers to get to know them with an engagement session. PLUS – booking now should look in 2010 prices for your 2011 wedding.

Here is an article that ALL upcoming wedding couples should read and take seriously – not because we put the link up on a blog post, but because we have heard from so many people that selected the wrong photographers for their wedding and that is the one thing that they regret about their wedding day.

Thanks for looking at our blog.

We love hearing from couples that we have photographed their wedding – we love hearing from anyone that we have photographed. Michelle and Ryan were a lot of fun. Nicole and I had a great time with them as they had so many great ideas for their pictures. Engagement pictures – well we were so lucky to have been in front of a theater, and have the sign changed to have their names up on the marquee. This made Ryan’s day as he is really into anything neon. Visiting their basement, you require a sun block of 30 spf or greater because of all the amazing neon signs that he has collected over the years. He needs all of those neon signs to light up his extensive collection of beer cans & beer bottles.

Here is the comment on our Facebook wall:

Hi Nicole, hope everything is going well. Ryan and I have gotten a lot of compliments on our wedding album! Wedding party update… Stephanie (bridesmaid) had a baby girl in April 2009, Alana (matron of honor) had baby boy two weeks ago…..

This is so great. As many of you have found, Facebook is such an incredible networking site. We have contacted many of our high school friends, which are some distance away for us, as well as keep in touch with so many of the couples that we have photographed their wedding.

We treat our photography as a way to build a lifetime relationship – not just a one time service.

Michelle and Ryan – we are so excited that everyone loves your albums (engagement signature album and your bridal album). The weather was not the greatest on your wedding day – but you guys made it happen anyway. We just learned this saying at a wedding in 2009 – a wet knot is a tighter knot. Thank you again for allowing us to capture your special day, and we are here for any other special days that you may have coming up.

This is the comment that we have heard from some of our guests that stopped by our Bridal Show booth yesterday. It seems like there are 2 flavors of wedding photographers – “We loved our photographer” OR “Our wedding photographer was a jerk”. We hear this comment and others similar to this all the time.

We had a bride come to our booth yesterday and who is planning her second wedding – and from her first experience, she knows that wedding photography is something that she is budgeting higher on. Why? Because the images that she received from her first wedding were not what she expected – “I went cheap, and I received exactly what I paid for”.

We can relate to this experience, and that is why we would never give this type of experience to our couples. You will find that we try to go above and beyond with our customer service.

Would you like to find out more? Send us an email with any questions. Contact us here.

We are currently at the Bridal Show at Westfield Belden Village Mall, in Canton, OH – got to love free WiFi.
