Thank you to all of the Brides, Grooms, Friends and Family that stopped by our booth at the Bravo Central Oregon Wedding Showcase this past weekend. It was seriously an honor to take part in the show, and I had a blast meeting all of you and hearing about your upcoming weddings. As you know, we are based out of Eugene, but I want to reemphasize that we DO NOT have travel fees for weddings in the Bend area. I think that comes from a weekness for that part of the state. Bend & Sunriver have been a fav vacation spot for me and my hubby for years, and now our little ones are too enjoying the sunshine, pony rides and endless fun things to do over there

Just a reminder…those of you who visited our booth at the show will receive a free collage like I had on display when you book your wedding with us!

We LOVE getting to know you long before the big day comes about, so we have set aside a few days in our calander to come back to Bend for anyone desiring a FREE consultation. We have several spots open for consultations on February 21st…If we have overflow, or enough interest we can come over on Friday the 20th as well. Please call or e-mail us soon to set up your appointment.

Name, Wedding Date, Wedding Venue, Your current place of employment, Activities you are involved in, Approximate amount of weddings you attend in a year, Would you or would you not get wet in the ocean or play around in the hay in your wedding dress?

These questions give us a brief idea of your personality and areas of influence and will greatly help our selection. So be as brief or as extravagant in your explanations as you want. The reason we need the photo is to allow us to choose participants that will offer us great variety in styles.

Bassis Loaded Outdoor Setup

We had the pleasure of working with Rick from Bassis Loaded in Eugene at Forrest & Jenny’s Sept 13th Wedding. In certain packages Rick comes to your event with two mounted flat screen TV’s to announce events, play a slideshow of your growing up years, enhance your entertainment with graphics and music videos when the party picks up. As your photographer, I can even work with him to play a slideshow of your ceremony & getting ready pictures during the reception.

After Forrest & Jenny’s Wedding, we teamed up to make them a video, including their first dance song and voiceovers of their vows. Thanks Rick, for all of your work putting this together. Please check it out at the link below it is example number 2, and feel free to leave us your comments.
