New Wedding Package!

After several couples have asked for it we are now introducing a new wedding package.  It's is our Elegant Affair Lite.  I know, stupid name.  I think we will probably rename everything this winter.  Anyway it's called Elegant Affair Lite because the only difference between it and the regular Elegant Affair is the substitution of the ZookBook (the premium album) with a PhotoBook Plus.

Here's what's included in Elegant Affair Lite:

1 - 11"x14" Print

Why I Switched to Pictage

Here are some of the reasons I made the switch to Pictage for my online galleries.

• Easy to use website
• 2 for 1 Print specials. Buy 1 print get 1 free.
  
• Folder lists - if you click on the Photo tab look on the right column and you will see Folders next to it is + New Folder. Now you can put all your favorites in your own folder.
• Great customer service.
• Off-site backup. This is most important for our wedding couples. I am a little crazy when it comes to backing up. Our typical workflow for a wedding. At the wedding, when we finish a card we back it up as soon as possible on a portable hard drive. As soon as we get home, we upload them on the computer. The computer automatically starts backing up. I then make a copy of your whole wedding folder and put it in a safe. For that night all of the cards of the wedding sit on my night stand just in case something happens in the middle of the night. Before I go to bed there are already 4 copies of your photos. Next morning, I go to another location make another backup and another copy and put it in another safe at a different location. Pictage add 1 more backup. When I upload your photos to Pictage they keep a copy of all of your photos on there servers. By the time I proof your photos there are 5-7 copies of your photos.

New Proofing Options

Option A - A Proof DVD* with all of your wedding pictures categorized that you can view them on your tv with an album of 150 4"x6" prints of your choice.

OR

Option B - A Proof CD with all of your wedding pictures categorized that you can view them on your computer and some dvd players. These picture files would all be sized appropriate that you would be able to have them printed as 4"x6" prints or smaller. I would also include a release giving you permission to print all of the pictures on the disk for personal use up to 4"x6". They would also be sized well for email, blogs, or Facebook.

*These options are ONLY available with the Elegant Affair & Black Tie Affair packages.

Money Saving Hint

Don't include your vendors(DJ, videographer, and photographer) in your head count for your caterer until you ask. Many caterers know that the vendors don't eat very much and if they're like Ruth and I, they just grab a few bites of something when they can, and they certainly don't sit down and rest. Ask your caterer if the vendors' meals are included in the catering fee. Most times they are, or at the very least, discounted. The money you save could buy you a beautiful Gallery Wrap or Wall Portrait. It doesn't hurt to ask!

FREE STUFF!

How many of you have a Facebook, MySpace, Blog, or are part of some other networking? Let me know when I'm proofing your pictures and I will include some pictures that you can upload to your site or email to your friends; FOR FREE!!!

Flowers by Design

I meet so many great people at weddings. At a wedding I shot in November I met Colleen. She introduced herself to me and asked me if she could have some of my cards to put in her store. She then explained she had a flower shop in Glassboro, NJ.

Before I agree to things I like to know what I might be lending my name to. I was very happy to see Colleen's eye for detail. Her arrangements are gorgeous. While I was there I took a few shots of a brides bouquet she had finished that morning.
Flowers by Design is a beautiful store right on High St. in the center of Glassboro. It's been awhile since I've been to Glassboro, and they have really done a great job bring the center of town back to life. There are some nice stores there. Why not stop by and give her a visit.
