Hi again old friends, new friends and fans!


As promised, after a much needed long night's sleep, I present to you: the full post with many more photos of the Bridal Show post! Again, a huge thanks to Judy with Portland Perfect Wedding Guide!


Our image from a Lakeside Gardens wedding from September 2009 was the chosen one for the Show's main welcoming poster!



Brides obviously happy to be at the show and a down shot of the Diamond Dash contest! Those brides has to eat of dig their way through a cup cake. One of those brides had the winning cupcake, good for a pair of 1 carat diamond earrings! (Compliments of Joseph K Wedding Rings).



Champagne Wedding and Event Coordination was the organizer of the whole thing. Mandi & Rachelle are always SO essential to the smoothness and flawlessness of any event. Ania Collection provided the gorgeous wedding dresses our models wore during the fashion show AND donated one of their amazing gowns to a winning bride! The image of the glasses, is a detail of the temporary tattoos The Naked Winery was giving away along with yummy samples of their various delicious wines (the names of which are SO unique and entertaining!).



From the top left, clockwise: The ladies from Macy's home decor were there to show off cutlery and place settings for every taste. One of my favorite florists EVER is Fiori Bella. Regina is the owner and the artist behind her flowery art and on top of being talented, she is a sweetheart! More detailed images of her bouquets are below!



The Heathman Hotel's restaurant is one of the top in my book! Just look at the abundance of foods displayed here! Josh and I were so lucky to have had our booth placed in the same little sun room as them :-) The mini cupcakes are from the wonderful Cupcake Jones. Delicious and pretty! The pink accent on the white frosting is a candied mini rose petal! Yummmy!



Here is our humble booth. We had lots of prints to show, anywhere from 4x6s to a 20x30! Our iMac was streaming hundreds of gorgeous images from our 2009 wedding and engagement photo collection, while Josh and I greeted our new brides and their friends. It was a blast! We made great new connections and our Engagement Session giveaway was won by one of the sweetest brides we met, Melissa! Can't wait to play with her and her fiance! Every single one of our prints was printed by our fantastic lab: Pictage. They cater only to professional photographers and are an amazing, friendly, organized, high quality and wonderful company to work with. All of our couple's photo-shoots are hosted online via Pictage and any orders for prints of books are expertly created by them. Couldn't run our business without them. Thank You.



As promised, here are Fiori Bella's bouquets. The beautiful models were walking around in their Ania Collection dresses and carrying Regina's floral creations with pride. How could they not?? :-) Just look at the simplicity and colors. We predict working alongside Fiori Bella many times over in the future. Genuinely beautiful flowers and genuinely sweet owner.



A few other vendors I didn't have the chance to photograph at the show are equally as talented. I wish I had had more time and flexibility to roam around the rooms shooting, but our booth kept up in one spot for most of the time; which is a good thing! :-)
