We’re kicking off a new category this weekend. In search of inspiration and education, I spend time daily sifting through different websites and blogs that I subscribe to via Google Reader. The better informed we are, the better we can inform our clients- right? So with that in mind, each weekend we will start sharing some of our favorite wedding, lifestyle, and photography related posts from the previous week. Enjoy!
Wedding Inspiration
1. Femininity without being girly – A fashionable way to use the pink and black color scheme. Presented by a great new inspirational blog, The Wedding Shoebox .
2. A bicycle built for two – I’ve always wanted to shoot a session with a Tandem Bike. Although I’ve always imagined using one in an engagement session, the couple featured in this Southern Weddings article incorporated one into their wedding, love it!
3. 8 Steps to getting fit for your Wedding Day presented by Bride Pop. If only I were a bride, I’d incorporate these tips. But I’m not a bride- so pass the Fried Shrimp PoBoy!
4. The Wedding Venue Cost Calculator - Handy tool for brides from Blue Orchid Designs
5. GracyLu Originals Susan, one of our brides wore a fabulous head piece at her engagement session this week which she picked up from GracyLu. Check them out!
Lifestyle Inspiration
After waiting over 30 years for this, I simply must dedicate this section to the only thing that us Louisianians are thinking about this week- Who Dat!
1.
2.
I love watching Gumbo (the mascot) fall to the ground when he runs into Reggie Bush. What a call by Jim Henderson, “Pigs have flown, Hell has frozen over. The Saints are going to the Super Bowl!”
Photography and Business Inspiration
1. Pricing. Every new photographer struggles with pricing. Lighting-Essentials featured an great article addressing the issue this week. If you are a professional photographer who produces a quality product- this is a must read. If you are a new photographer just learning your camera, and a friend has offered to pay you for pictures, this is a must read.
2. Another strong case for extraordinary customer service. Magazine ads, TV Spots, Billboards, and Radio ads may be good, but nothing beats extraordinary customer service when it comes to marketing.
We have a bridal in New Orleans this weekend, then off to Georgia next week for a wedding. Have a great weekend everyone!
When I say Black, you say Gold!

This is an visually driven blog, but today we’re going to mix it up with an audio post. I wanted to introduce our readers to one of the best Saint’s songs I’ve heard. The New Orleans based band, MoJeaux performed this at Rachel and Brian’s wedding last weekend. Check it out! The song is available on iTunes as well.

What a great way to kick off the year! I had an amazing time at Rachel and Brian’s wedding Saturday. It was our first time to shoot at Cypress Columns (Houma). The decor was phenomenal. The Bride and Groom were stunning. The crowd was buzzing (mostly because of Rachel and Brian- and maybe a little because of the Saints blowout victory earlier in the day). The Band brought the house down. (If you are looking for a band for your wedding- I highly recommend checking out MoJeaux- they rocked the house). After driving to New Orleans on Sunday morning to meet some potential clients, I capped off the weekend by shooting our first engagement session of the new year with Kristen and George up in Covington, LA. (Seriously can’t wait to work more with them, so much fun!)
Today’s Caption m.e. Monday comes from Melissa and Michael’s wedding a few weeks ago, help us by leaving a caption in the comments section.
