2021 Update
March 14, 2021It’s crazy to think we’re already three months into 2021 and a year into the Covid-19 pandemic. Our family has been super busy lately between having a baby, adjusting to being a family of four, moving into a new house, and wrapping up editing and album designing from the end of last year’s weddings! Now that things are slowing down and becoming less hectic, I want to stop and make a blog post about some updates coming in 2021.
First of all, we are still booking for both 2021 and 2022. We’re still facing a lot of reschedules from couples who had planned on getting married this year, postponing to 2022. So if you’re planning on being a 2022 bride, book your vendors early! You’re not only competing with other 2022 brides for dates, but with 2020 and 2021 brides who are rescheduling for next year.
Secondly, I’ve been working on restructuring our wedding and engagement packages to include things that Doug and I feel are important such as including an engagement session with every wedding package (engagement sessions are the best way to get to know your photographers and get comfortable in front of the camera before the big day!) and having a more deluxe level of packages that includes not only the engagement session, but a high quality, heirloom worthy album. This will come with an increase in cost (obviously if you’ve already booked with us, your price will stay the same as when you booked us, no worries!). This increase allows us to include wonderful things in our wedding packages such as deluxe engagement sessions, luxurious albums and other high quality printed products and wall art.
Speaking of albums and print products, I’ve been working to build up a nice collection of samples, everything from sample giclee prints to samples of signature books and albums. You won’t have to guess about what a product is going to look like, because we can show you and you can touch and feel it and get an up close look. Every time something comes in the mail from our print lab, I’m blown away and I truly hope to be able to share that wonderful feeling with more couples this year and next. If you’re on the fence about an album of your wedding day, I want to change your mind! And if you’re interested in displaying your photos on the wall, I can definitely help with that and recommend some options such as metal prints that come all ready to hang. I recently purchased 3 8x10 metal prints for our living room. The colors are super vivid and bright and grouped together on the wall they look amazing and really give a home-y and cozy feel!
Also in the works are several blog posts from end of 2020 weddings and blog posts about wedding related issues, such as planning your timeline and a complete engagement session guide which will answer all the most common questions we get from couples before their session such as what to wear, how to pose, and how to choose a location! I’m so excited to get these guides done and out there because I truly believe they will be so helpful for our couples! In the meantime, feel free to continue to reach out to us with your wedding planning questions!
All the best,
Katie
