I have to admit that I have been quite busy with the wedding photography season in full swing and not real great on blogging. But, I have had the most wonderful experiences with my brides and grooms this season. To name one I have been to NYC to shoot a wonderful couple's wedding all around the city. We started at their hotel and then attended their beautiful church service. Amie's dress was so quaint and vintage old fashioned which fit her perfectly! I absolutely adored both her and Troy and their family and friends. What a wonderful group! We had ventured to the old cobblestone roads in the Meat market area to photograph their vintage photo to match her theme. (See Below) Funny that Amie and I are very similar in our old school style (vintage) love! It is so wonderful to have the opportunity to work with someone who shares my taste! We then went to a wonderful place in Soho called Vento Tratorria. The food was exquisite to look at and eat. Also see below



Vento-Trattoria- Fantastic Appetizer (Pizza) - Great idea! and a wonderful gourmet meal to follow:

Is this not the absolute cutest baby? I had so much fun working with this two week old baby! She was really a pleasure to have at my studio with her mom and grandma as well. I know that she does not look amused but we got some fabulous pictures of her and her little body parts as well. More to come......

Begin Creating your guest list as soon as possible.. Ask your parent and the groom's parents for a list of people they would like to invite. You and your fiance' should make your own lists. NOTE-Order your invitations at least four months prior to your wedding. There are three types of invitations: formal/traditional, contemporary, and lastly informal. Traditional are generally a white, soft cream or ivory with black raised lettering. The contemporary invitation is typically a presentation that makes a statement about the bride and groom. Informal are often printed on the front of a single heavyweight card and may be handwritten or preprinted.

Always invited all of your guests to both the ceremony and the reception. Order one invitation for each married or cohabitating couple that you plan to invite.

Order approximately 20% more stationary than your actual count. Allow a minimum of two weeks to address and mail the invitations.
Tip to save money - Thermography looks like engraving and is one-third the cost.

I plan to list wedding preperation tips on this blog one time a week. For those of you who are interested in being informed of these blogs please send me your email address at laura@relivephotography.com. Thank you and have fun reading.

First I would love to hear how your proposal was special?

Tip "Record your precious moment so the two of you can relive your memories together forever". Then during your wedding planning process read that recorded page over and over to remind yourselves of the romance you felt during that moment. This will help to keep the romance alive as you plan the event that will bind you together for the rest of your lives!
