This Sunday, January 17th, we will be at the 2010 Bliss Bridal Gala at Hager Hall in Hagerstown, MD starting at 11:30 am. This is going to be a great show with over 50 vendors, seminars, and tons of prizes and give-a-ways! Plus, there will be a guest appearance by a rep from Kleinfeld Manhattan. All of you ‘Say Yes to The Dress’ fans are familiar with them. :)

Aesthetic Life Studio will be at booth #10, and we will be giving out very cool packets with info about us, tips on finding the right photographer, tips on how to save money when hiring a photographer, and two very cool vouchers from us! :) If you’ve been thinking about hiring us for your wedding, you need to visit us at tomorrow’s show. We will also be having our own drawing for a free engagement session! Pass this along to everyone you know who is getting married. At the bottom of this post is a link to share on Facebook, MySpace, etc, so share away! :)

I hope to see you tomorrow! :D

Gallery Wrap Canvas Print Example

admin — Thu, 02 Apr 2009 14:37:17 +0000

I love canvas prints. Once I saw canvas for the first time I wanted everything printed in this medium, but if I did that, I would go broke. :) Canvas prints are heirloom investments. An investment in family art to be enjoyed for generations.

This year, one of my 2008 wedding clients (which have since become friends) helped me out at my bridal shows. They took several Sundays to help out, and were willing to participate in a project I’m still working on. They did all of this and asked for nothing in return, but I offered to give them a 16×24 gallery wrap canvas print of their choice. They narrowed their choice down to a handful of images, and came to my office to view them and make their final decision. After looking over several images, they decided to go with one of her bridal photos. I then took the photo and personalized it a little further for them by including a bible verse they choose, which I think gave the image an entirely new, and deeper meaning.

This is the digital version of the photo. Below are photos of the canvas.

Thank you, Jeremy and Kia, for being such a huge help! I hope you enjoy your canvas for generations to come.

Engagement Photography Winner from Hagerstown Show!

On Sunday I was in Hagerstown at Duffy’s on Potomac for the Hagerstown Magazine Bridal Gala. It was a fantastic show with a great turn out. At the show I had a drawing for a one hour engagement session including an 8×10. Toni B. was the winner of that drawing! Congrat’s Toni!

That was my last bridal show for February, and probably for the rest of the year. Thanks to all who came out to see me! I’m looking forward to hearing from you and working with you over the next year; even well into 2010!

Newsletter & Hagerstown Bridal Show

admin — Sat, 21 Feb 2009 15:53:45 +0000

I’ve got a busy weekend lined up, but first I have news about our new monthly newsletter! This past Thursday I sent several hundred people our first newsletter. These were all past clients and people who signed up to receive info at bridal shows or through my site. So far the responses I’ve received have been extremely positive. Everyone I’ve talked to has loved it. I’m excited to provide this new line of communication to my current and future clients, and look forward to continuing this service. In my newsletter, I am not only talking about our current news, and promotions, but also providing a few photography tips and tricks. My first issue had my top 5 Wedding Photography tips, which I subtitled ‘It’s Emotion, not Faces’. If you would like to start receiving my newsletter, including my monthly tips, sign-up here! If you sign up and leave a comment letting me know that you did, I will make sure you receive this month’s copy.

Today I will be shooting for ‘Smart Company’ magazine at the Great Outdoor Expo located at the Valley Mall in Hagerstown, MD. I’m excited to be going out to shoot this freelance work, and will be leaving as soon as I’m done with this post.

Tomorrow I will be at the HM Bride Bridal Gala at Duffy’s on Potomac, which is located in downtown Hagerstown. The show starts at 12 noon and ends at 4 pm, however, the vendor show ends at 3 pm. Admission for the show is $5.00, but if you bring 4 friends the bride is free. Bridal shows are a great way to meet us and to see our work. I think this show is going to be packed out, so you might want to come early. There will be 3 floors of vendors, and, yes, I think there will be refreshments. I’m really looking forward to this show, and I will, as I have in past shows, have a couple who’s wedding I shot back in July. Stop by and meet us, talk to my clients, and look through some of my work! The show will be having plenty of drawings for giveaways at the end, plus I will be having my own drawing. I hope to see you there!

Gettysburg Hotel Tomorrow

admin — Sun, 01 Feb 2009 02:09:36 +0000

Tomorrow I will be at the Gettysburg Hotel for the Gettysburg Times / WGET 2009 Bridal Faire. I will be at the show to hawk my wedding photography wears and services. :) I’m not sure where I will be other than the Ballroom, which, like everything else is Gettysburg is supposedly haunted by ghosts. I know that’s neither here nor there, but I go on random tangents easily, so I thought I would share that interesting info. The hotel, specifically that ballroom, has actually been on national TV a few times about being haunted. You know the type of show I’m talking about, one of those Travel Channel highlight shows. I’m easily entertained by mindless television, so that type of programing appeals to me. You can always find something good on the Travel Channel, unless they are showing poker. Can I ask who actually watches that? I can’t think of anything more boring than watching someone else play poker. But I digress. This post is supposed to be about me being at the Gettysburg Bridal Faire. The show starts at 1 pm and goes until 4 pm. I know there are going to be lots of other great vendors there as well. Admission at the door is $8.00. For more info on the show visit www.wget.com and click on the 2009 Bridal Faire link on the corner. Come on out and see us, we would love to meet you!

On another note about Gettysburg, I was just there today for the coldest, most dangerous and treacherous e-session ever! :) No, it wasn’t really that bad. Jadylee and Alex met me at the Peace Light. They choose that location, because that is where Alex proposed. I haven’t even emptied the flash card yet, but I’m sure there are some rock’n shots. Even in the ice and bitter cold these guys were awesome. I hope to have some images up soon. Thanks Jadylee and Alex!
