Vendor Spotlight- Chris and Adrienne Scott Photographers

March 29, 2012 Posted in Vendor Spotlight

Chris and Adrienne Scott, Photographers are wedding photographers who know how important it is for a bride to feel comfortable with her photography team. Chris and Adrienne are a wonderful duo and very fun to work with, which is one of the reasons their work is so amazing!

Here’s a little more info on the fabulous Scott team:

How did you get into photography?

Chris started by photographing ski races and families on ski trips in order to spend a winter with his girlfriend at the time. The relationship didn’t last, but the photography did! Adrienne got involved when Chris said “Want to help me with a wedding? All you have to do is hold stuff.” She learned pretty quickly that taking pictures was a LOT more fun than holding stuff!

What do you love about photography? We both love being able to make images for people of themselves that they love, that is really who they are, and something that will be a keepsake for their family for many generations.

What would you say is your photography style? Genuine modern portraiture. Normal people looking amazing and being themselves.

Do you shoot digital or film? Digital.

Tell us why brides should choose you to capture their wedding day: Love our personalities and image style? Book us. In the end, it really comes down to that. You need to love your photographers’ personalities, and you need to love your photographers’ images. You spend the majority of your wedding day with your photographers. It’s such an important, memorable day. You need to get along with your wedding photographers and want them around. And you need to love the work they produce. No matter how much you pay for your wedding photography and wedding album, $1000 or $10.000 or any other amount, if you don’t love your photographers’ images that won’t change for your own wedding pictures.

 We asked Chris and Adrienne a couple random questions and here’s what they told us.

Some personal questions and Chris and Adrienne:

Mac or PC - Mac all the way. We’re Apple fanboys.

Tea or Coffee - Depends on the flavor. Chris drinks sweet tea. Adrienne drinks a cup of coffee before she runs in the mornings, and has a cup of tea almost every evening but only if it’s fruity; her favorite is Tazo’s Wild Sweet Orange.

iPhone or Blackberry - iPhone (see Mac or PC question) =)

Favorite Song Right Now - Pretty much anything by Jon Foreman.

These two are a great team to have around on the most important day of your life.  Again, to see more of their work check out their site here.

Planner Tip from Epiphany Events

March 28, 2012 Posted in Planner Tips

This week our wonderful Planner Tip comes from our fabulous “Planner of the Week”,  Parthenia with Epiphany Events:

Be true to yourself. Sounds simple, doesn’t it? It’s not always easy! As you go through the process of establishing your wedding vision, it is important to stay connected to the beat of your own heart. There are so many wonderful pictures out there to ogle and explore! Magazines, websites and blogs, oh my!! You can spend hours upon hours looking at glamorous wedding dresses, fabulous floral designs and stunning stationery (which I highly recommend and truly love) but don’t forget to look into your own heart! Which pictures make it leap? Which design makes it flutter? Even if your favorite flower is one that has been done over and over again, don’t let that bother you. Choose what YOU love! If the dress that you dream about is a little out of the ordinary, go for it and don’t let the voices of tradition weigh you down. Wedding planning, if done freely, is a process of discovery. You learn more about your fiancé and more about yourself. It’s a series of epiphanies from one decision to the next. Celebrate that! Enjoy that! Revel in that! Being true to yourself does not mean that mom can’t have an opinion or that you can’t seek out advice. Being true to yourself doesn’t mean that you silence all the other voices. It does mean, however, that you don’t silence your own!

Vendor Spotlight- Paint Your Event

March 27, 2012 Posted in Vendor Spotlight

If you’re a bride looking for something different for your wedding, then Heidi of Paint Your Event is definitely someone you should look into. Instead of just having photographs of your wedding; she paints a beautiful picture during your wedding! We asked Heidi a couple questions about her business and here is what she told us:

What made you go into the business of painting events?

I completely fell into live painting. I’m a singer/songwriter and I made a record where every song had a painting that incorporated the lyrics (kind of like a word picture). I contacted the entertainment manager at Gaylord Opryland hotel about doing some singing gigs. He checked out my website to hear my music and saw my paintings and asked if I could paint a dinner. It built from there on…

What are all the different ways brides can use your products?

The painting is a keepsake for brides to have forever. But I can also have prints made for the bridal party and guests to have as well.

Explain your services and the process.

I paint live at weddings & special events. Basically I paint an abstract scene of the wedding during the reception. It takes me about 2 to 3 hours. And I start and finish the painting right there on the spot.

Check out this video of Heidi at a reception: http://youtu.be/YibuhdYaPOg

Definitely somebody to get in touch with if you’re a bride looking for a little something special to add to your already special day!

 

Some personal questions from Heidi:

Mac or PC Mac! Hands Down!!!!!!

Tea or Coffee Both baby.

iPhone or Blackberry  iPhone … gotta keep it in the family.

Favorite Song Right Now I’ve been loving this song called “Flux & Flow” by a Canadian artist called “Lights”
