Yay!  We did it!  Kier and I were so happy that our very first wedding show turned out to be a success.  We had never done a booth before so we showed up with our McGyver filled suitcase and were ready for any curve ball.  Kier’s mom, Monika, was a life saver.  She helped us get the booth organized and our wall installations situated.  We even had an hour to spare so we enjoyed a nice breakfast and conversation.

We met so many amazing couples and vendors at the South Sound Magazine Wedding and Event Show.  Paula and her crew were on the ball.   I saw Paula the week before at a networking meeting – she was working it for all of the vendors!  We were able to meet some fabulous vendors that we will continue to network with.

We’re booking up for summer thanks to help from our first show.  We called Paula and asked her to book us for her September show in Tacoma.  It is a two day event so we hope Monika will come back to help!

We got to know Kristin and Jason at their engagement session and we attended their wedding rehearsal.  Both are really good ways to get to know our clients – and their families.  We could tell right away that the wedding was going to be a blast.

We were really moved by the efforts of this couple’s family and friends.  The reception was elegant and so much fun.  Everyone seemed to help out and the entire event was flawless.

Kristin is a girl’s softball coach so she hired her team to cater the reception which was hosted at the Orting Grange.  The girls did a phenomenal job and should really consider catering as a viable career.

The new couple, their parents and the wedding guests were all having fun.  We think the photos capture the spontaneity and good nature of this amazing couple.

It was our first shoot at the Orting Grange and we can’t wait to shoot another wedding there.  The lighting is beautiful and the hall offers an intimate setting for receptions with the perfect dance floor.
