Weddings Weddings Everywhere………….. May 5, 2009

Good day one and all. Cinco de Mayo to some, just a Tuesday to others. Hope everyone is enjoying this wonderful spring weather. I have finished working on the images from Erin and Chad’s Kenosha wedding. I think the set turned out really nice, and they are one dang cute couple. In the next few weeks I have another wedding to shoot in Kenosha. Then a few short weeks after that on June 6th is my wedding. 32 days from now I will marry the love of my life.

Here are some highlights from Erin and Chad’s wedding. Their ceremony was in Paris Wisconsin and the reception was at the Parkway Chateau.

April 18th Kenosha Wedding – Erin and Chad April 27, 2009

Last weekend I had the awesome opportunity to see the nuptuals of Chad and Erin. They got married at this cool church in the corn fields of Wisconsin. The reception was at the Parkway Chateau. I have never been to that venue before and was very surprised. These two were a lot of fun and I got some good stuff. Right now here are a couple teasers until the final set is uploaded.

The Knot Reveals 2008 Real Weddings Survey Results……. April 9, 2009

I found this article today and thought I would share it with everyone. The link can be found HERE.

Here is a small excerpt:

“TOP PRIORITIES: Venue, Band, and Photography: The bulk of the average wedding budget is dedicated to the reception venue ($13,667, a 7% increase over 2007); followed by the reception band ($3,633 on average); and photography ($2,655 on average).”

It was nice to see photography in the top 3 items that are the top priorities. I heard once that only 30% of your wedding will go beyond the the wedding day. I mean think about it, the cake goes bad, the limo drives off, the church gets ready for the next day’s service. The things you take with you forever are the photography and videography (if you have that done).

When all is said and done the one thing that will endure from generation to generation will be the photos. Your grandchildren will get to look at that and say “Grandma I can’t believe you wore that! “. I may be a bit biased being a photographer myself but I think it is safe to assume my couples understand this and see the value in the investment that they are making.

Kenosha Weddings in full swing March 24, 2009

Good afternoon one and all. It’s Tuesday, not quite as cool as Wednesday but certainly better than Monday. I just finished up working on Rhiannon and Chris’s 60 page album. That is the largest one I have ever done but man did I have fun working on it. I love working on albums after the wedding because you get to enjoy and relive the day. In honor of albums and the lives they touch I have decided to run a promotion. I hope to do many more promotions soon but this is just the start! Be on the lookout as well for some super cool add-ons I will be bringing out here soon. Enjoy your day everyone and be blessed!
