100 Techniques for Professional Wedding Photographers Posted on : 07-08-2009 | By : admin | In : Maui Wedding Packages Tags: Photographers,…
Realistically I would love to go in the summer but with prices in Hawaii already very high I’m not sure if its necessarily the best time to go. This vacation is very important to me because I am going alone, doing something I’ve never done before and feel this is the time to take a vacation by myself.
Sally and Ted were married on a beautiful day in Aspen, Colorado. Their wedding just goes to show you, the beauty of your wedding day will shine through, no matter the bumps along the way! from the beautiful bride … The weather in Aspen was perfect the entire week of our wedding, including the morning of … then the clouds started rolling in and an hour before we had rain, hail, and thunder. Our guests were to ride the gondola to the top of Aspen Mountain and when it was time for me and the bridal party to go up, it was closed, so we traveled to the top in a suburban

I get emails sent in asking for advice and I got to thinking, Why not poise this question and email to my fellow colleagues in our industry who may have additional advice?? Lindsay, First, let me say I absolutely love the idea of Pay it Forward. What a fabulous website you have and such great information. I was a photography minor in college, mostly medium format and dark room stuff, not too much digital. But recently, in planning my own wedding I’ve been itching to get back into it

The Offbeat Bride: Nikki, OBT member ” nikki fizer ” Her Offbeat Partner: Duncan, Musican Location & date of wedding: mother jungle of a patio in Harrisburg, PA — 7-7-2009 What made our wedding offbeat: Our wedding was very small (13 people).

I was so excited to mail our invitations a couple of weeks back, and starting the day after we sent them, we’ve received two response cards each day! I love seeing those little envelopes show up in the mail… and, our guests have really gotten into the Madlibs aspect of our response cards, so we’ve had some fun responses. I thought I’d share some of the standout cards… the last line of the card says: Don’t forget to ________ [advice] after you _______[advice]! In retrospect, we wish we had set up our cards differently so that everyone would fill this out, regardless of whether or not they’re attending (right now, this is for those who can’t make it). Fortunately, our guests are having fun filling this line out whether or not they’re attending! Card #1 – Life Advice From my dad’s cousin and his wife – “Don’t forget to brush your teeth after every meal!” Sound advice if you ask me! Card #2 – Financial Advice From my dad’s friend who cannot make the wedding and enclosed a check with his response card – “Don’t forget to cash check after the wedding quickly!” Duly noted

It was in the 1990s that the Shelby County, Tennessee, government first entered into a contractual agreement with Memphis-based Consulting Services Group (CSG) for advice on how to allocate its pension fund assets and on which money managers to hire. One of those money managers eventually included Morgan Asset Management, a subsidiary of Morgan Keegan & Co

I recently posted HOW TO GET READY for BURNING MAN encouraging YOU to get going on your bike, your camp, and your costumes.There’s a lot of advice out there on the subject of how to prep and what to wear, but let me warn you, some of it is BOGUS! For example, Squidoo’s Burning Man costumes site is full of ads for clothes that aren’t appropriate–some are downright dangerous and others–like anything feathery–produce MOOP (Matter Out Of Place).Because Burning Man is NOT a Spectator sport, footwear

The Offbeat Bride: Becky, Counseling Teacher Her Offbeat Partner: Andy, Math Grad Student Location & date of wedding: St Joseph's Co-Cathedral and Sunset Ballroom, Burlington, VT — 01/03/09 What made our wedding offbeat: To save money, we got married during the “off-season,” which was sweet because we wanted to show our family and friends a good old time in our current hometown in Vermont and… what's more picturesque than Vermont in winter? I didn't want the drama of having hurt friends' feelings when I picked my wedding party, so I kept it all in the family and had my brothers and Andy's sister as my bridesmen/maid.
2 weeks ago, I received a lovely email from Kathy of “The MOB Mentality” blog. She is currently helping her daughter plan the wedding of her dreams in Florida, and she wanted to know if I can provide some tips and advice on hiring a wedding planner for a destination wedding. I said yes of course, and she posted my answers on her blog yesterday. I am so excited to be the first one being featured in her “Wedding Planners” series. You can read the post HERE .

Well, first I must apologize for the delay of this post and my absence. I know I promised you the tutorial long ago, and I figure I should probably finish that before I show you all my invitations. In the middle of my wedding craziness, my computer hard drive crashed and I lost a whole bunch of blog pictures and posts along with address spreadsheets, contracts, and all sorts of other stuff that stresses you out

Anyone who reads this blog knows that I think Sarah Palin is the biggest joke of a politician of all time. I do not totally blame her, though. She just got in way over her head and then listened to the wrong people for advice. However, the website that first broke the news that she would run for governor of Alaska and that she would be McCain’s running mate says that Todd and Sarah Palin are to divorce. Remember, back when she resigned, I indicated something much bigger was behind her

The Offbeat Bride: Michelle Romo – Graphic Designer Her Offbeat Partner: Jason Betrue – Web Developer Location & date of wedding: Los Angeles, CA – The Marvimon House — 04/18/09 What made our wedding offbeat: J and I have a ridiculous sense of humor and we wanted to include all of our awesomeness is our wedding. Before he even proposed he asked me if we could have a Robocop ice sculpture at our wedding

The Offbeat Bride: Christine – Financial Services Analyst/Music Blogger (and OBT member ” Christine Marie “) Her Offbeat Partner: Greg – Dept. Manager at a car dealership/ Musician Location & date of wedding: Olde Gahanna Sanctuary , Gahanna, Ohio — July 18, 2009 What made our wedding offbeat: Music is our passion, so there was no other theme for us. Everything revolved around music — concert ticket invites, RSVPs in AC/DC font, a “set list” instead of a wedding program, VIP laminates for the wedding party, custom guitar pick favors, vinyl records as part of the centerpieces.
Liesl Clark from Claris Photography gives some great advice on scheduling your wedding day formals. One of the most important but sometimes least favorite parts of the wedding day are the “planned” photos – the “formals” as some may call it. This portion of the day, while essential, is often looked upon as a “grip and grin” section of the wedding that a bride and groom want to just “get through”

The Offbeat Bride: Regina, Pre-Press Technician (and OBT member ” Parallax “) Her Offbeat Partner: Alyx, Psychology Student Location & date of wedding: Beardslee Castle , Little Falls, NY — October 11, 2008 What made our wedding offbeat: Once we finally started to plan our wedding, the biggest question we asked ourselves was “What is our wedding about?” My husbands main concern was making a binding commitment to one another (his big input: “So we're gonna need a priest…”).

With one trial behind me, I decided I’d opt for one more! A few days ago I stopped at the Union Square flower stand to pick up more beauties for another bouquet experiment. This time, I took home 9 stems of peony roses in cream, 15 pinky astilbes, two bunches of sweet peas – one white and one lavender – 7 stems of white wax flowers, a last second grab, and 9 stems of white ranunculus

I was given bits and pieces of advice for my own bridal portrait session from my photographer and various brides before I actually went to take pictures in my dress before the wedding.

Here are some suggestions for your shoot: 1) Try to choose a time of year wit h mild weather. Sometimes this is easier said than done.

We couldn’t agree who had to change her last name, so we played a Name Change Soccer Game the afternoon before the wedding with our guests, and the winner’s team got to pick our new last name.
