We had a Mother-of-the-Bride tell us that Judy has so many tips about weddings that she should write a book. (Judy loves to give advice) So-ooo read on.
 
Judy's Advice!
judy72We filmed at a wedding recently where there was a wonderful wedding coordinator. I don't think enough brides consider what they can do for you.  She  made the bride and groom's  wishes come true in what they had envisioned for their special day.  The couple could relax & enjoy all their family and friends and not have to worry about all the little details. We were both impressed how hard the Coordinator's crew worked and yet nobody was frantic getting all the details done. (There were alot of details!). The Coordinator was Sonya Jennings at Sozoevent.com in Ankeny. They'll do as much or as little as you want. Very impressive!
               
Fine Art Paintings - Giclee'
giclee katieOur Giclee' (jeeclay) paintings have been a great hit since we introduced them just late last year. We now offer a "Classic Renaissance", "Watercolor" and a "Wedding Collage" in moderate or extreme complexity ranges to suit your budget. The one shown here is a "Classic Renaissance" on stretched canvas at just $250! It's a unique heirloom that honors your Wedding Day.

It's easy to order. Just let us know you might like one and we produce it with no obligation to buy! Be sure to visit the "Photo & Art Gallery" in the quick links. We've just started a collection of art for sale. Watch for Las Vegas and Des Moines art coming soon.
Photography
Bride Art pageHey, check out Rangefinder Magazine for the month of May! Rangefinder is a magazine focused on the Wedding and Portrait Photographer. You'll see us mentioned on page 76 with a photo from one of our albums. It also talks about the quality of the album we use. I'll include a link here to their
online article. This is the same Bride that you see above in the painting too!

We now have a 10x8 size available as a parents album along with inserts in the front cover as you'll see in the article!
Video Productions - Slide Shows or Passages
Slide Shows have become very popular at wedding Receptions.  Slide Shows show the Bride & Groom growing up through engagement and often show relatives and friends along the way. Some couples show the Slide Show in a loop playing over and over as guests are walking in and other's show it as a one-time show.

We have a wedding coming up that the Bride is going to have us play their Engagement Slide Show in a loop for guests as they arrive at the Reception and then later we'll show the "growing up" Slide Show they had us produce after the toasts. We always make a short slide show out of the Engagement Photos and include it as a surprise on the Engagement DVD. (don't tell anyone)

If you're producing a Slide Show yourself we have some tips:
1.Keep it short. Less is more. We recommend 60-70 photos.
2.Make sure someone has tested the movie first on the equipment and is ready to start it when the time is right.
3.Use photos that the faces can be plainly seen.
4.Edit the music to sync up with the photos.
5.Keep the photo on the screen for a short time.

We can produce slide shows for $199 but if you want something very cool and different than the traditional slide show you need to check out  "Passages".
Passages is different for everyone. It's very hard to describe. You have to see one. You can be as creative as you want or leave it to us. More on "Passages" stories next month.
