January 2008

Many of you stopped by my friend Karen Hall's booth at the Convention Center Bridal Show earlier this month and found out about her January bridal show promotion – where if you book her services for your wedding and you book 3 wedding party members at the same time, you'll get a FREE trial run of your hair & make-up for your wedding! (A $150 value) The special ends on 2/1/08 though (this Friday!!) so if you don't have your hairstylist and/or make-up artist for your wedding yet, check her out by CLICKING HERE! Karen and her staff are fantastic, they'll come to YOU on your wedding day (wherever you are getting ready) and they do airbrush make-up which is the most flawless-looking foundation available on the market…I hired them for our wedding and I was so glad I did, our pics turned out WAY better than if I had tried to do my own make-up! LOL Anyway, I just wanted to remind everyone about her promo because I think it's a great deal and in case you missed her booth at the show, I wanted you to know about it! 😉

I thought I'd post about another book I've been reading off and on for the past few weeks called "1001 Ways to be Romantic" which is a great book FULL of fabulous ideas!! I know we all get so wrapped up in the day to day "stuff" in life and sometimes we need to remember to keep dating our spouses….and for ladies who like to be romanced, this book is for YOU! 🙂 I found this in the Valentine's Day section of Barnes & Noble a few weeks ago but it can also be purchased on Amazon by clicking HERE. Guys, if you are stumped on what to do or buy for your significant other, read this book for ideas…trust me, she'll love them! Better yet, buy the book early and let her highlight her favorite ideas and then you're sure you won't go wrong this V-Day! LOL

I have a fun game for all of my blog stalkers to play today…it doesn't matter if you're a vendor….a client of ours…another photographer…a friend or family member….a random person who stumbled upon this blog…whatever! 🙂 Last night, we booked a bride whose last name is "Cook" and her hubby's last name is "Baker"…when she first started dating him, her friend had asked her what his last name was and since this particular friend calls her "Cookie" (because of her last name) she said, "oh, how cute…when you guys get married, you'll be baking cookies!" LOL Well, this random joke stuck with them and now we're looking for creative (but preferably not corny – if possible) ways to incorporate this into their wedding. Here is your mission: come up with an idea that incorporates one or both of them in the "baking cookies" theme or concept and submit your idea along with your name & e-mail address to us at [email protected]. Our bride gets to choose the best idea and whoever wins, I'll be sending them either a 4 piece cookie bouquet or a giant decorated cookie from Cookies By Design this Valentine's Day (or before). 🙂 The cut off for idea submissions will be this Sunday evening, 1/27 at midnight so get your ideas in today!
