The Knot is great site for getting ideas on every part of your wedding day. Here’s an article, about planning your reception, that I found interesting. (more…)

So you just got engaged and you’re starting the wedding plans. Problem is, everything looks over done and boring to you. Maybe you’re not a “normal” bride. Maybe you want things to go a little bit different than the norm? If this is you, or you are looking for some “different” ideas for your wedding, take a look at www.offbeatbride.com. It’s denfinitely got some different ideas and lots of content to browse through. (more…)

Want to post your own online photo album so your out-of-state wedding guests can view them? There’s a great software application for this task and it’s free! The application is called Jalbum and you can download it and use their online posting process or upload the albums to your current website. I currently use Jalbum for my gallery samples on this site. I plan to add more galleries with different templates that they offer. You can find more information about Jalbum at www.jalbum.net. (more…)

In previous years, I didn’t offer a disc with the wedding images. I required that all prints and images were to be purchased from my online lab. Even though the value and quality are fantastic and well worth the price, many of my customers wanted to keep all of the images instead of selecting a few. Since most of my weddings produce upwards of 400 images, that can start to get expensive for the families. Of course, we also have the current economic situation to worry about as well. For these reasons my packages for 2009 now include the disc. (more…)

My first wedding, so far, of 2009 will be with Andy and Louisa here in Sioux Falls. I’m especially excited for this one since it will be my first outdoor ceremony! When Louisa told me that the ceremony was being held in the her parent’s backyard, surrounded by landscaping and a prize flower garden, my eyes lit up. Back in 2007 I did photograph a reception outside, which was fantastic, but I’ve not had the opportunity to photograph the ceremony outside. I can’t wait to see how things are going to be decorated and setup.

Andy and Louisa really impressed me with their relaxed attitude and openness to any ideas that I might have. I can tell you from experience, couples who are open and relaxed always get the best images on their special day. I can’t wait for their special day to get here. I’m already prepping my equipment!

Andy and Louisa contacted me through the GonnaGetWed.com site. Other dates taken include Spencer/Heather on August 1, 2009, Kristin/Trent on September 5, 2009, and Chris/Becca on January 2, 2010. (more…)
