Back from the show....with shoutouts

Whew!

Stacey and I took part in another Southern Bridal show, and it was a big one! They estimated the attendance at around 800 brides, and you would have thought there were 1600 on the floor!!!

We always have a great time at the shows, getting to meet new people and even seeing some of our current clients! We've also found the shows to be a great time for us meet other photographers, designers and vendors from around the area, which helps us when you need a good reference. We had alot of requests yesterday for references to florists, videographers, and even other photographers when our dates were already booked.

While we are running a business here - which means we're in competition with other photographers - Stacey and I have always loved being able to refer people to some of our favorite photogs when we're already booked on their date. We're not giving away business, but triyng to help everyone we meet find the right photographer for them - and help some of our fellow shooters out at the same time.

I thought it would be fun to share some of our references that we tend to use here on the blog:

Photographers

Laine Williams Photography
I knew Laine while at Samford. She's got great personality and it really shows in her pictures!

A Bryan Photo: Bryan Johnson
Bryan is hands down the top wedding photographer in the Southeast in our minds, and definitely one of the top shooter in the nation. His style is unmatched and beautiful. We've been big admirers of his work for some time, and while he definitely doesn't need our help getting business, we think everyone needs to at least see weddings the way he does.

Ann Wade Parrish Photography
Ann Wade is another fellow Samford grad. There's probably no one with as a better eye for shooting a wedding on Samford's campus than Ann Wade.

Marsha Perry Photography
Stacey has been a big admirer of Marsha, and while we don't know her personally, her beautiful work speaks for itself.

Videographers

Alston Wedding Videography
They're a husband-wife team like us, and speaking from experience in working with them, they're the best quality at a great price. Book them!

Florists

Norton's Florists
They do some pretty amazing work. We've worked a couple of weddings with them and they're creativity is stellar.

Flower Stems: Vince Gray
Vince's decorative touch is something to behold.

Wedding Planners

Bubbles and Bells: Randi Funderburg
We're working a wedding with Rani right now and she has been great in coordinating us with the bride and groom.
