Now booking boudoir for Valentine’s Day!
It's "boudoir season" again! Want to give your hubby something he'll LOVE forever this V-Day? Book a boudoir session with us! All sessions need to be completed by the end of January to be online by Valentine's Day so book your photo shoot today…they are SO much fun! 🙂
* Boudoir portraits: Our boudoir sessions are $399 and include myself (Erin) as your photographer and another one of my female staff members as my assistant at your shoot. We can do your shoot in the privacy of your home or at a nice hotel (hotel fees are extra, we can recommend some great Indy hotels if you're in need of a recommendation though) and we allow an unlimited number of outfit changes during your 2-3 hour photo shoot. We shoot an unlimited number of images during your shoot too and then post all of them on a password protected website so that you can view and order images afterwards. The boudoir package also includes 20 retouched 5×7's of your favorite shots in a small black album, perfect for wrapping up for your hubby for Valentine's Day! We will typically arrive a few minutes early for boudoir sessions so that we can decide on where we'll actually shoot and take a look at your clothing choices. It's better to start with a soft look and go more dramatic with clothing, hair & make-up as the shoot progresses so we'll help you determine the order of "looks" with your various outfits. Email us to book your photo shoot at [email protected]
2008 Bridal Runway Fashions…
Here's our double booth all set up for the show on Saturday morning. (Right before the doors opened) 🙂 John & Melissa did an AWESOME job of helping me with everything this weekend. I couldn't have done it without them! Here's Barb and Delaney during the runway show…many of you probably remember Barb from this post, she's the pilates instructor with the adorable kitties. 😉
Here's Hillary looking gorgeous as always! Chuck from The Florist at Allisonville Nursery created all of the amazing bouquets for the fashion shows and I believe this particular dress was a designer gown from Nancy's Bridal. Nancy is SO sweet and her gowns are just stunning.
The guy models from MW tux showing off for the ladies! 🙂
Recognize her? It's Pam from The Biggest Loser!
Gorgeous gowns!
I'm IN LOVE with this new style…what an awesome gown to photograph! Can you even imagine the amazing detail shots we could get with this?! Ladies, go see Nancy at Nancy's Bridal if you don't have your gown yet!
Remember me telling you about this last week? Here are the hilarious (and disgusting!) photos as promised…LOL…
These 5 grooms dressed up in old wedding dresses and had the chance to dive for prizes in this cake!
How fitting that the groom who won our free engagement session prize wore a pink wedding dress! LOL Congrats you guys, call me when you want to do your photo shoot!! 🙂
The aftermath…so gross! LOL
Back to the runway…
Check out the open back dress style and her amazing hair! WOW!
Sooooo cute!! 🙂
At the end, they surprised us all with a confetti burst, it was awesome! Here's Pam again, she tossed her bouquet into the crowd!
And here are all of the wonderful make-up artists and hairstylists of the uber fabulous, Karen Hall & Co!! If you haven't booked someone for your hair & make-up yet, I HIGHLY recommend calling/e-mailing her ASAP! I know they get really booked up quickly too, especially after producing these amazing fashion shows every year. 🙂
Final group shot of the 2008 Convention Center Bridal Show…thanks for another fabulous year everyone!
Runway pics coming soon!
There are so many runway pics that I wanted to post…but I had to narrow them down or else you'd all be scrolling through them forever! LOL Anyway, I wanted to write about the new 2008-2009 fashion trends that were showcased on the runway this year before posting them all!
In bridal fashion, I noticed that they've incorporated lots of color – and not just pastels or in bridesmaids dresses. There were darker hues of pinks, greens, corals and all shades of vibrant colors! Low and open back dresses seem to be in style, as well as low waisted gowns, ruffles, criss cross back straps and sweep trains. I also noticed a lot of vertical embellishments down the center of the dresses and some stunning Renaissance style couture gowns this year!
In bridesmaids dresses, I noticed a lot of fun & flirty dresses…some tea length dresses….and even the mermaid style dresses for a more swank affair. In florals, crystal bouquets are becoming popular, as well as jeweled bouquets and hand tied ribbons. It also seemed like the longer stemmed bouquets are making a comeback. They've been incorporating a lot of color, florals, jewels and extensions in hairstyles for 2008 and the make-up styles are natural but the level of "drama" depends on the style of dresses and themes incorporated into the wedding. The lips & eyes were definitely more defined and of course, air brush make-up is still the hottest thing since sliced bread. 🙂 Pics coming soon!
P.S. We even had a celebrity at the runway show…did any of you recognize her??? 🙂 The first bride-to-be that comments or e-mails me with the correct answer wins a $50 gift card for our services!!
Thank you!
I just wanted to say thanks to the hundreds of brides who stopped by our booth this weekend at the Convention Center Bridal Show. We had fun talking to all of you and showing you our work! 🙂 We've already had many of you contact us via the blog and our website wanting to book appointments or reserve your date…I can't wait to work with all of you in 2008 and 2009!! I know our remaining dates are going to book up fast and unfortunately there's only one of me (and we only book 1 wedding per day and typically only 2 weddings per weekend) so it's never too early to reserve us, even if your wedding is in 2009. 😉 I hope you all had a great time watching the fashion shows and getting to meet and greet many Indy vendors this weekend. I'll post some pics from the show tomorrow!
Life. Love. Lipstick.
Another blog I subscribe to, "life. love. lipstick" just featured one of our bridal shoe shots yesterday! Love it! I actually used that same image as the main shot on a new sample album we recently created, CLICK HERE to check it out! 🙂
