I wanted to let everybody know about the bridal show coming up on October 4th, 2010 from 1-4. The Greater Kokomo Bridal Gala will be featured at one of the newest event centers in the Kokomo area, Celebrations.

I will be attending this bridal show, so be sure to come and introduce yourself.  If I am not at my booth I am probably over talking with another vendor.  I have a habit of wandering/talking during bridal shows.  I hate to feel like I am pressuring brides into “wanting” information.  I try to let my work speak for itself, and I figure that if you want to book your wedding with me that you will be able to let me know that.  Some people might disagree, but is just how I work.  I always wonder what people are thinking when they are trying to pressure sale people at bridal shows.  So I promise that you can browse freely.  I won’t be hanging over your shoulder.

Here is a list of some of the vendors that will be attending the show.  I always enjoy getting to meet the people that are new in the wedding industry, as well as getting to catch up with my friends that I get to work with, but sometimes don’t get to talk to that much on the wedding day itself.  This is always a bonus for me to be able to send my brides to people that I know and trust.

Tomorrow is the big day for the Greater Kokomo Bridal Gala at Rozzi’s Continental Ballroom.  It will take place from 1:00-4:00pm.  This is an excellent opportunity to see some awesome wedding vendors all in one place.

I am excited about my booth for this show.  I am going to be presenting my images on a 40″ LCD screen.  I think this will be awesome for brides to be able to see such a wide variety of my work in such a short time.  There will also be the KISS samples and a couple of the canvas gallery wraps, but other than that it is going to be very simple.  This seems to be somewhat of a theme for me lately.  Simple and elegant go a long way in my book.  “Huge and over the top” just doesn’t work for me.  I guess for some people they are probably scratching their heads right now.  For some people a 40″ screen is over the top, but please remember that this is coming from someone with a 65″ widescreen in my living room.

Hope to see everybody there.  Please come up and introduce yourself even if you already have your photographer booked.  I always enjoy sharing my recommendations for other wedding vendors.

** Wise Photography Workshop Update -  There are only a couple of spots still available for the February 28th photography workshop.  So if you are thinking about signing up for this date you need to contact me immediately before this is sold out.**

Mark your calendars for January 31st, 2009 as the date for the Greater Kokomo Bridal Gala at Rozzi’s Continental Ballroom.  It will take place from 1:00-4:00pm.  This is an excellent opportunity to see some awesome wedding vendors all in one place.  I always enjoy attending these because I usually get to see some of my future brides again. 

Please come up and introduce yourself at the show.  I would love to meet you.  (Then I can add you to my list of blog stalkers…right TB?   hehehe)
