I recently met up with Kate Parker while she was driving all around Connecticut looking for the best of wedding professionals. Kate is launching a new website that she says will revolutionize how weddings are planned. I got a sneak peak of it recently and it is awesome! Kate only invites a few photographers to be on the site to be released, and I am one of them. Check out my Vendor Spotlight.
I can’t believe it’s been a week since my last post! It’s been a little crazy here with the amount of weddings we’ve shot lately. There was even one week that I shot 4 weddings in 8 days, 3 of those weddings being Hybrid (with video). The craziest weekend ever was Friday in Massachusetts, Saturday in New Haven, and Sunday in New York. 3 weddings, 3 days, 3 states. I normally never do a tripple weekend, but I was convinced otherwise this year. So all that shooting is being worked on right now. You can expect this blog to explode with posts very soon. In the middle of all that shooting I had the flu. 3 weeks of it! I figured that would put our production process behind by the amount of days I mostly slept. But we are pretty much still right on track. I have one hybrid movie I’m working right now, otherwise everything is on schedule.
So enough about the craziness. I received a notice in my e-mail today from Wedding Wire that a bride of mine gave me a review on their website. Normally when someone has something to say about you, it’s not good. Generally speaking, people will talk more about the bad things than the good things. So I was nervous as to what this review was going to be. Who knew it was going to be one of the best reviews I’ve ever gotten!!!
This past weekend I was invited to the New York Wedding Workshop put on by Lindsay Landman Events and The Knot. It was a really different kind of workshop for brides to attend. The atmosphere was very relaxed with plenty of time to walk around and talk to each vendor. This was not like a bridal fair where there are multiple photographers, florists, caterers, etc. to choose from. There was only 1 representative from each type of business (1 photographer, 1 florist, 1 caterer, etc). Besides brides walking around the displays the businesses had, there was a panel discussion that was really informative for the bride. It’s a bridal show that also teaches the bride about the industry. Here are a few photos I took at the event which was held at The Xchange.
City Blossoms decorated the event with some really unique floral arrangements.
How cool are these wall stickies that just peel off when your done? You can get them at Blik.
CUPCAKES! sooooo goooood. From Chocolate Blossom Cakes.
Want a one of a kind wedding dress that’s custom made? Check out Kelima. The dresses were amazing AND reasonably priced.
I almost didn’t eat the veggies. At first I thought it was just a center piece display. I didn’t want to mess it up!
There was a phenomenal caterer there, Sterling, an invitation designer, Village Invites, and a videographer that I actually worked with before. There were a few more vendors that I didn’t get a chance to talk to because I had to leave for a photo shoot. I was able to briefly sit in on one of the panel discussions.
