Justin Is One!!

Even though this is my "weddings only" site, on occasion I will send you to some of my other work. Tracie and Jeff brought Justin in for his newborn shots last year and returned last week for one year studio shots.  I had been in Target recently and noticed an ad up on the wall with a baby crawling toward some waiting gift bags and boxes.  A light bulb went off and I decided to try this with Justin.  Here are the results - Justin Is One: Photo Gallery

Dance of A Lifetime

One of the many blogs I follow is veteran wedding photographer David Ziser.  I happened upon one of his images titled Dance of A Lifetime and thought I'd share the link.  It's a very striking first dance shot with great rim lighting.  Check it out.

Tonight I meet with Megan about her October wedding.  Looks like Fall 2010 is going to be really busy.  Don't forget to send questions via the Contact page or to schedule your very own meet and greet.

Until tomorrow,

Steve

 

 

Meet-ups

As I'm typing this, I'm aware that I have an initial meeting with an engaged couple in about an hour. So I will be out the door shortly with a bundle of materials including sample Wedding Books, sample prints, brochures, contracts and my ever trusty notepad.  This is an important encounter for them and me.  I'm sure they will be armed with questions and I'll need to provide the answers. If I can't answer a certain question, I will make sure I follow up quickly.Sometimes we meet here at my studio or like today, at a local coffee shop.  

For viewing images for kids and high school seniors, the viewing is almost always online.  With wedding clients however, I think it is important that they come in and view their images along side of me.  It is here that we usually decide, together, what will or won't be going into their wedding album.  I also find out the general color and design (elaborate, simple, etc.) that they prefer.  They also get to see the images closest to how they will look in print. Computer monitors are all different but mine is right in line with my lab.

Just a quick look into the process of how things work here at Region Weddings.  Have a great weekend!!
