In a previous post I indicated that Kimberley's Photo West was having a wedding photography sale. The sale is continuing with a couple of changes, mostly good ones! The dates of April 18th and April 25th still have 25% off our regular wedding coverage prices but there is one great change for these dates - an extra 25% off. Yes this is not a typo 50% off our regular wedding coverage prices which start at $1390 so for these dates prices start at $695.00!! The same discount occurs on May 2nd, that's right prices starting at $695.00.
May 16th (long weekend) prices are still reduced by 25% with the same discount for May 30th, and June 13th. On June 6th, however, prices are reduced by 50%.

Sunday
On Sunday I had the pleasure of taking some engagement photos for Jacquie and Matt whose wedding I am photographing on March 27th of this year. We met up at the ski hill and proceeded to finalize plans for their wedding day prior to taking a few engagement photographs. We took a few inside by the fireplace and then headed outside for a few around the buildings. It was a nice day and quite warm for the middle of February. An engagement session is quite important as it allows the couple of become more comfortable in front of the camera and also allows the couple and the photographer to get to know each other better. The first set of engagement photographs that we did last fall, Matt did not smile at all so this is a vast improvement.
Birthday
Well William and Jackson had a great birthday and they are now officially four. The ice cream cake with Lightening McQueen on the top was a hit!
So we started off the morning with a long, long bath which by the end of it the whole bathroom was wet.

Saturday
This Saturday, February 14th is, of course, Valentine's Day. Many of you will be planning on going out for dinner, perhaps a lucky few couples will become engaged. My heartfelt congratulations to those of you who decide to make that very special commitment to each other.
I will be watching my boys turn four and also laughing at them as they tear into their presents. Of course photographs will be taken and depending on how they look, a few might be posted here. Headache pills will most likely be taken. But in the end I am sure my boys will have a wonderful day no matter what happens.

Bridal Show
This past Sunday was the Prestige Inn Bridal Showcase in Cranbrook, BC. It was a very busy event with a lot of bride's to be attending. It surprised me that there were seven photographers represented there as they used to cut it off at four. I felt sorry for some of the bride's as it almost seemed like a photographers show. A good point for the bride's with so many photographers is showing that each photographer has their own style and that a bride must be happy with the style of the photographer that they choose for their most important day. A photographers style is enbedded in their being. Which means that if you are looking for a casual, photojournalistic style for your wedding images and the photographer that shoots your wedding is a traditional style photographer you are not going to be happy with your wedding images. So having so many photographers to choose from is a good thing for a bride.
Another thing that surprised me at the show was how many bride's who are getting married this May or June have not retained the services of a photographer yet. The wedding photographs are the only thing that you will have to remember the day. The flowers will wilt and die, the cake will get eaten, the wedding dress that you spent so much on will be cleaned and stored, or sold, all you will have left is the photographs.
Of your whole wedding budget you should spend 20% on your wedding photography. So if you have budgeted $10,000 on the wedding then you should hire a photographer for $2,000, etc. Often the photography is one of the last things on the list and therefore there is not much of the budget left. It is important to have professional photographs taken of this once in a lifetime event and photography should be chosen at the same time as the date and locations are confirmed.
