How far out should you book your vendors?
September 1, 2008 – 12:30 pm
Most people that get engaged and married are only getting married once and have no clue how long it actually takes to plan a wedding. If you want to get everything you want for your wedding such as the perfect venue, photographer, church, cake, dress ect…. you need at least 10 months to plan if not more. On average you will need 1 year - 18 months in advance to get what you want. I have to tell you that I am friends with a lot of other vendors in the Pittsburgh area and a lot of us are booked 10 months - 18 months in advance.
So what do we recommend are your 2 most important things to get booked within 2-3 weeks after you get engaged?
1. Wedding Reception Venue - this is where the memories and fun will happen. Find a location that is close to a hotel for any out of town guests or has easy access to transportation to a hotel. You don’t want anyone getting a DUI driving home from your fun event.
2. Photographer - second most important vendor to get booked. The photographer is the one and only person who will be there to do one thing and one thing only. Capture your day as it happens and tell the story of memories that will last a lifetime from generation to generation.
After you get those two vendors booked, everything else will fall in to place. You will find your dress, invitations, flowers, cake ect…
Trash The Dress Pittsburgh
August 4, 2008 – 7:03 pm
Hey Pittsburgh Brides… I am sure most of you heard about trash the dress. If you haven’t, then google it. What you will find is what some brides do after their wedding to just have some fun in a dress you will probably never do anything with again.
So what am I getting at here? Well we are taking applications for brides who want to trash their dress or just go take photos in their dress that we normally wouldn’t do on the wedding day, in risk of getting it dirty. If you feel up to the challenge and want to get some fun and crazy pictures in a Trash The Dress Session, contact us now to reserve your spot.
We would like to hold 3 sessions at the end of summer/fall and then 3 sessions in the winter. We are thinking of doing something like a ski trip or sled riding some saturday or sunday this winter.
Any questions? Contact me nick@photosbynick.com
Shannon E-Session
July 27, 2008 – 7:32 pm
Today we did a session with Shannon and her fiancee at Phipps Conservatory and The University of Pittsburgh. They were so much fun that I just cant explain. I will let the photos tell the story.
I can not wait to shoot your wedding next year! But in the mean time, enjoy your engagement photos.
First Post From My iPhone
July 22, 2008 – 5:18 am
So as a lot of you know, the iPhone 2.0 software came out a few weeks ago along side the 3g iPhone. Of course me being the techie I am, I got the new phone and a ton of cool software.
With the new software, a lot of developers are creating some really cool software like this new wordpress software. I can post right from my phone and provide llive updates anywhere in the world.
So with that said, I want to make this first post informational for the brides and explain what is to come in the upcoming months. We will be adding a section for brides to go to get tips while planning their wedding, find current promotions, and find other wedding vendors for your special day.
Our current promotion for the remainder of July is a free engagement session or extra hour of photography on your wedding day with the booking of your wedding package. Book now for your 2009 wedding as this promotion ends August 1, 2008.
Thanks
Nick
