A Couple of Great Shows

Last weekend it was the Keller Convention Center in Effingham and this week was the Hilton Garden Inn in Champaign. These were two really great bridal shows.

The one in Champaign is sponsored by WICD and is always a classy affair. This year they had two fashion shows that helped draw quite a few brides, moms and yes ... even a few grooms. If you happened to be one of those that we got to spend some time with ... thank you for stopping by.

Needless to say, Nicole and I had the opportunity to meet with a lot of brides throughout the central Illinois area over the past couple of weeks. We even had a few brides whose weddings we're scheduled to shoot stop by to just say hi and talk about how excited they are about their weddings. We love it!

Now it's time for me to finish up some corporate video work. As soon as that's been completed then it'll be time for me to finish editing a couple of wedding videos and designing an album or two. Hopefully, I can get all of this done before our first wedding for 2008.

It should be a fun year ...

Bridal Shows Around the Corner

It's that time of year again when all the wedding vendors congregate in some of the nicest reception venues ... showing videos, travel packages, floral arrangements, cakes to sample ... and of course, wedding albums.

Last year we attended 6 different bridal shows and 2007 turned out to be quite a success. So much so that 2008 is now halfway booked and we're just now getting ready for our first show.

With that in mind we have decided to limit the number of shows that we'll be attending. The first one will be at the Keller Convention Center in Effingham on January 7th. The second will be at the Hilton Garden Inn in Champaign on the 14th. Both are fabulous venues with an accommodating staff and excellent facilities.

If you have the opportunity to get out of the house and you're still looking around for DJs, limo companies or even a photographer ... this is a great time to find them all in one place.

Stop by my booth and introduce yourself. We can discuss your wedding plans and you can take a look at some of the new albums I have.

If you have any questions regarding the shows or my services feel free to email or call me at 217-345-9517.
