Photography by Dennis and Yvette LLC and Video Services: August 2007

Thanks for Coming!!!

Tonight, we were joined for dinner at our studio with three other Photography Studios. Our dinner, catered in, consisted of Steak, Chicken, Green beans, Mashed Potatoes, Garlic Bread, Salad, and very Chocolate/Chocolate Cake. Also attending was a wedding planner that I have worked with several times in the past.

After dinner, the planner gave some interesting information about what she thought that today's brides are looking for in a photographer. Although, there may be many with the same ideas of what they want as far as the types of pictures, some may differ with the type of album they will receive. We try very hard to keep our collections simple and easy to understand. We know that weddings are a large investment and brides want to know that they are getting the most for their money.

Also, according to the planner, brides want a CD will full size files for printing their own images. Dennis and I now offer the files with every collection. She also said that customer service is very important. We try hard to answer our brides email as quickly as possible, and also to return phone calls in a timely manner.

It was really great have the time to visit with photographers that we usually just see at a UBA meeting, or a bridal show. We were all in jeans and shorts and just enjoyed getting to know each other better. Yvette

Kimberly and Steven married July 21, 2007

Kimberly and Steven had an incredible wedding surrounded by their friends and family. They took the non-traditional route of having all the pictures taken before the wedding. We have found that most couples that see each other prior to the ceremony are much more relaxed and have more time for pictures.

Signing the marriage licenses is a big part of the day. We have actually looked for the minister to get pictures of the couple signing to only find out he had already left. Thank goodness for cell phones!

You know, not everyone can decorate the car. It takes skill, preperation, attention to detail, and the most important part of all is finding the keys.

Every couple always look forward to the most important part of the wedding day. It's the reception of course! This group was wide open with a great DJ keeping them on the dance floor.
