Northwest Indiana Bridal Shows In 2016

January 11, 2016 Steve Vansak

I can't believe we are already two weeks into 2016!! My first wedding of the year takes place this Saturday followed the next day by the HUGE Northwest Indiana Bridal Expo on 1/17.

Before I list all the info on the upcoming wedding expos that I will be participating in, here are a few other Region Weddings news and announcements:

The studio is re-opening on January 18th after water damage last Spring forced me to shut it down. I will be again offering Intimate Portraits for boudoir photos or pregnancy photos. The studio is very spacious with lot's of sets, backdrops, professional studio lighting and a private changing room and bathroom too.

Wedding Films: For video services for your wedding, I recommend John Zale. Bookings can be done for video right here online or in an in person consultation. Our 2016 calendar is now 60% full, but we do have some 2016 openings and 2017 clients inquiries are beginning to come in. Don't forget, a bonus hour or large print comes complimentary for booking both video and photography.

The Patrician Spring Bridal Show Recap

March 12, 2015 Steve Vansak

A model shows off a wedding dress on the runway at The Patrician Spring Bridal Show

Wow, what a terrific fashion show at The Patrician last night!! The female models showed off many dresses and the male models really put on a show strutting down the runway and breaking into dance. Trans Audio Wedding DJ's were the MC's.

In the main room DJ vendors such as 219 Productions, Spinning Productions and The Party People were playing music and greeting clients. Food and cake tastings were served up along with a champagne fountain and wine tastings as well. Mom's with daughters and even grandaughters were enjoying the festivities. I even spotted about a dozen grooms!!

My second photographer Kerrie and her daughter had a great time meeting all the brides (and grooms) who came by our booth while I photographed the event. I encourage all who visited the Region Weddings booth to fill out the Contact Form and set up an appointment to discuss your wedding photography. Once again we gave away a prize package at our booth as well as through the show itself.

A winner has been picked for the $100 Gift Certificate. This is good toward any package. Please see the Rates Page for engagement and wedding packages. If you already have your wedding photographer, please visit my sister site SBV Photography for studio and other on location packages.

Here are a few more images from last night's show and then I will reveal our winner...

From DJ's to photo booths to wine tasting, brides and groom and their families had a great time at The Patrician Spring bridal show.

Kellie Rauguth will be receiving a $100 Gift Certificate. Congratulations Kelly!!
