Imagine That! | Calling All Future Brides…

I have never been a bride, so I cannot speak from experience.

HOWEVER.

I have been to A LOT of weddings J and I have helped a lot of brides prepare for their wedding day in terms of photography.

And better yet, my team mate is Kristi, who has been a bride before!

We absolutely love weddings.

It’s funny… I am sure if you asked both of us what it is we like about weddings, we would have totally different answers.

But I think that’s a good thing. Who wants to hire a photographer who has a clone helping her?

Kristi and I love to have fun, and we see our wedding days as no exception. Of course, it is a very special and serious time… but as much as we can, we make sure everyone is smiling all day long!

This post is called “Calling All Future Brides” because IF you are a recently-engaged-over-stressed-planning-your-wedding-bride-to-be… then we want to meet you!

We love our job and we love what we do. Don’t hesitate to stop in and talk to us, or give us a call at the studio. If you have any questions at all about wedding photography or the way we shoot, we are more than happy to talk with you. Just looking into the details—not sure what you’re going to do or who you’re going to pick?

No problem! Part of the fun part of our job is getting to meet all kinds of amazing people… and that includes YOU!

 

Capture Baby | My 12th is 1!

I have 12 nieces and nephews… and just a week ago, the youngest one turned 1. He is SUCH a honey. This child is a beautiful baby boy… and I don’t think I’m saying that just because I’m biased. I think I speak the truth!

Basically, at 1, he is already making grown women jealous of his golden-brown curly locks and big blue eyes. If he turns out to have even an inch of his older brother’s personality (who is true to his name—Beau), he will be a real lady’s man.

To date, he has been one of the easiest 1-year-olds that we have had in the studio. His momma has style (of course she does, she’s my sister!) so he came equipped with brightly colored accessories that made him look even cuter.

What a doll. Do you need pictures of your baby? Let this be your inspiration… give us a call today! Now is the time to capture your little one!

Bride’s Night Out Event & Grand Prize Winner!

Last Night’s very first Bride’s Night Out event was a smashing success! We loved EVERY minute of it. It was a good deal to be a vendor there, and an even better deal to be a bride. The minute a bride walked in the door, they were handed a leopard-print goodie bag, fully equipped with several wonderful deals from vendors at the event and others in the area, including coupons, lip gloss, koozies, BEB reading material, etc.

Inside, there was free samples of delicious cake from Desserts Unlimited, BEAUTIFUL flower arrangements from Floral Design, a variety of gorgeous bridal wear peppered throughout the store, free wine tasting, fun up-dos from The Loft, and of course, photography by Imagine Artists, to name a few. Radio Station 98.5 was also present for most of the evening, broadcasting live from the event and interviewing some of the vendors during commercials.

One of the BEST parts about being a bride at this event was the opportunity to register for the grand prize, which included over $8,000 in goodies—a bride’s dream!

This morning, we gathered with Adore Bridal to choose the winner.

Janice held the bag while I fished around…

Who is it going to be?

The winner is…

Emily Gray! Congratulations, Emily!!

Making the call…

Waiting to hear Emily’s response…

Emily was excited! Sad to have missed out on the event this year? Don’t worry—we plan to make this an annual event. Thanks to everyone came out!!!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Bride’s Night Out!

Bride’s Night Out is quickly approaching…

(TOMORROW!)

We are so very excited. There will be a load of AMAZING vendors there. If you are getting married or know someone who is, this is the perfect event to attend.

It’s local, in Morton, at Adore on Main Street. The first 50 brides will be given a lovely goodie bag– we are stuffing them as I type– full of all sorts of fun things.

Best of all, there is a chance to win a HUGE grand prize with a value of over $8,000!

Behind the Scenes | Where’s Waldo

Kristi was editing an image she had taken at a recent wedding reception. It was beautiful, and showcased the winter land details and exquisite lighting.

Until.

What’s that small, human-like form in the right-hand corner?

She caught me. Somehow, I always seem to get in the way… sometimes, it’s a flash of my curly hair, a brightly colored stripe whizzing through her shot, or, like this instance, a little dot of a photographer in the corner.

But hey. At least I’m not standing on the sidelines like a wall flower. I’m capturing details, too. RIGHT?

It works out well to have two of us to capture all of the fun details on those wedding days… as long as we stay out of each others’ way.
