Engagement Guest Book

Here are some pictures of my sample engagement guest book.  This book can be used instead of a traditional guest book that guests use to sign.  Instead of one that will get tossed in a closet, never to be seen again, this is a nice book that you will actually want to keep out on your coffee table!  Each book is custom desinged with a lot of white space around the photos to ensure plenty of signing space.  These books 7 inches x 7 inches.

Formal Albums are here

One of the first questions I used to be asked during initial consultations was 'do you offer formal wedding albums?'   Well, now I'm happy to answer YES! 

These albums are flush mount, which is a modern spin to your parents traditional matted wedding album.  In these albums, the photographs actually become the pages.  They are SO cool! You've really got to see one to appreciate it.

Here are some pictures of the sample that I designed.  I used Liz and Dennis's wedding in Asheville, NC for the sample.

Here you can see the names branded into the cover, as well as the wedding date.

In the next few months, I will be restructuring my pricing to incorporate these albums.  Of course all of my current brides under contract for 2007 will have their current pricing, but will have the option of purchasing an album as an 'add on'.  Ask me about the special introductory pricing I'll give you on these albums.

My Sample Album is in!! YAY!

Last night, I got my sample album from the binder in the mail.  I am SO excited to offer these as part of my product line.  I have already gotten a huge response from people about these - so I can't wait to incorporate them into my packages.  I'll post some pictures of it this weekend - I promise!

On a totally different note, Justin and I ate at The Tavern at Lake Carolina tonight for dinner.  For anyone who lives in the Columbia area, you HAVE to check this restaurant out!! The food was incredible.  Jeff, the owner, used to own Saluda's in the 5 pts area.  I was very impressed that he personally delivered everyone's meal.    We absolutely love our neighborhood. 

It is one of those work/play/live neighborhoods that has a little 'town village' right up the road.  So we had a nice 5 minute walk to an incredible restaurant.  You can't beat that!  I told Justin tonight that if I wasn't a photographer, I'd love to be a food critic.  I just love fine dining - what a cool job that would be to eat at good restaurants all the time!
