Erin + Rick : Welcome Party

July 18, 2011 by Jensey 13 Comments

It all started from a photo Nathan took of a hippo in Africa. We got an email from Erin saying she and our past bride Cassie saw this photo on our blog and it’s inspired the theme for her welcome party. Not only did he grace the invitations for the event, but he was lovingly named “Turo” and appeared in almost every detail. Meet Turo!

The custom cake topper Erin had made… Amazing down to the drool. ;)

Erin and Rick’s welcome dinner was held in the jaw-droppingly gorgeous Asante Suite at Disney’s Animal Kingdom Lodge. I felt like I was right back in Africa, except with a TV. And air conditioning. ;)

More adorable details :)

Each of her guests left with a custom Turo- I was totally jealous!

Love the view. :)

If you thought those details were amazing, just wait ’til their wedding coming up tomorrow! :)

Promo : Christmas in July!

July 14, 2011 by Nathan 1 Comment

Yes, that’s Huck frozen in the snow and yes, it’s that time of summer again! Starting Monday the 18th, we’ll be kicking off our not-quite-annual-but-pretty-much Christmas in July promotion! It’ll last until Friday the 22nd at 11:59pm EST. So head on over to your proofing gallery and get working on a shopping list. :) (And if your gallery isn’t currently active, just leave a comment and we’ll post it for you.)

You’re probably curious what the sale will actually include, huh? We’re keeping it simple and offering 35% off all print orders over $35 in value. Easy, right? :) (That includes canvas wraps too!)

We ran this second promotion once before and people seemed to love it, so we’re bringing it back. If you purchase twenty-five or more 4×6″s (and only 4×6″s!), we’ll include duplicate prints at the time of shipping. (Which means the duplicates won’t show up in your cart.)

So, just to recap:

+ 35% off orders $35 or more!

+ Complimentary duplicates for orders only including 4×6″ prints (25 or more)!

+ Even though we haven’t announced it yet (except for right here), we’re extending our Tennessee promotion!

We’ll be sure to post reminders on Facebook and Twitter in the coming days. As always, please leave a comment if you have any questions. :)

Inspiration Board : Runway the Real Way

July 13, 2011 by Lorie 6 Comments

There’s no denying that I love high fashion. It’s an art form that a handful of people create and only a few can master, and design wise, it influences every aspect of our lives– interior décor, tv shows (yay for Project Runway’s July 28^th return!), magazines, etc.

The only downside is that, like fine art, Vogue-worthy designers aren’t exactly affordable to the masses. So today, I’m doing a Look for Less-style inspiration board. Remember that show Elizabeth Hasselbeck hosted before The View? Her picks were sometimes questionable, but her perky personality always left a bless-her-heart smile on my face. :)

To show you just how easy it can be to find affordable alternatives, I’ve chosen two designer looks hot off the Resort 2012 runways that cost up to several thousand dollars and created options whose price tags don’t include a comma. ;) Whether you have an engagement shoot, portrait session, or family shoot coming up, consider looking to the runways for a bit of inspiration. :)
