I can’t believe it’s that time again! The last SEVERAL months have just flown by and I haven’t been able to keep up here as much as I would have liked. It’s a new year and that’s all going to change! I am trying hard to work smarter and get more organized, and while I’m far from being there, I’m making progress.

Right now we are scrambling to get ready for the 2012 wedding season! We have our first bridal show here in Cheyenne this next weekend.

The Cheyenne Bridal Expo is being held at the Holiday Inn on Sunday, January 29th from noon to 4pm, The Laramie Bridal Expo will be on February 19th at the Hilton Garden Inn From 1pm to 4pm. Admission is free to both events and there are always a ton of giveaways, and I hear the big one this year is a cruise!

We will also be attending the Rock Springs Bridal show again this year, and admission is free for this one as well! I don’t have complete details on that one yet but I do know that it’s on Saturday, February 25th. As soon as I have the info I’ll be sure to post that! *UPDATE* – The rock Springs Bridal show will be held on February 25th at the Holiday Inn from noon to 3pm!

These shows are always so much fun! Meeting people, talking to brides about their weddings, and catching up with other vendors. So be sure to come on out and chat with us, we’d love to talk about your wedding and how we can help tell your story!

I had an awesome time with Ashley and her family. I had done some business portraits for her grandmother and they decided when they were in town, visiting from the west coast, to have her senior portraits done here; something a little different than what they would have there. We went over to the entrance to the to the labyrinth to create some images and while I was setting up, noticed she was swaying ever so slightly, “Alright… you HAVE to keep doing that for this image and have fun with it!” While it did create one of my favorite images from the session, what I loved was when we were meeting back up with her family, a little skip in her step, and she exclaimed “I got to twirl!”

I hope you enjoy the images!, you can find the full image gallery here: Ashley’s Gallery

Had an awesome engagement session with Jessica and Paul, despite the mosquitos. They were absolutely brutal! The mosquitos that is, Jessica and Paul were great! After getting started on Campus at UW (I’m still amazed how much that place has changed since my college days) we went up to an area just off of Happy Jack that they picked. Paul had helped create a bouldering guide for the area and wanted to get a photo at a formation called Heart Rock…. Totally appropriate!

What a Great Time! This was our first time to the Rock Springs Bridal Show and it was a blast! We came in Friday night so we had plenty of time to relax and spend some time with our friends, Kati and Levi. They took us Bitter Creek Brewing for dinner, and while you would normally think “burgers” for a place like this, they had some amazing pasta! We got started nice and early, Starbucks in hand, and ready to go (yes, I’m a Starbucks JUNKIE!).

With Erin helping with the booth, I was able to take some time to capture the event… the people, the fashions, and most of all, the fun! The guys doing the modeling for the day were really hamming it up, you gotta love that kind of energy. The brides and grooms that were there with were great! It truly is amazing seeing the excitement on people’s faces as they talk about their wedding day. I look forward to talking more with many of them!

Erin and I actually made it to town Saturday night, coming in from a bridal show in Rock Springs that day. We were going to have dinner in Rock Springs (Winger’s anyone?… Yea, we miss it too), but a snow storm blew in as we were packing up, so we just grabbed a snack and hit the road as soon as we could. Following our friends, Leadfoot Levi and Kati, we actually cleared the storm pretty quickly and made good time to Laramie, where we finally sat down for some dinner and laugh’s at Alttitude’s, a place neither Erin and I had been since our college days.

Come Sunday morning, we were ready to go! Got started setting up bright and early, that way we could chat with some familiar faces among the other vendors and meet lots of new ones. After lunch, the brides and grooms came flooding in, it was incredible! The energy was just amazing and there were so many wonderful people and conversations. A few of our current brides and grooms, attending the show for some last-minute ideas, even stopped by to chat.

With my wife helping to man the booth, I was able to grab a few moments to cover some of the Expo. Above is a video of the coverage, along with some of the images below (you may need to click the “more” link”.

Thank You to all the wonderful brides and grooms who stopped to chat with us, and to everyone in attendance who made it such a wonderful event. It was great catching up with friends and vendors, and meeting so many people.

We just got back from some great bridal shows this weekend in Rock Springs and in Laramie. Thank you to everyone who came out and made these events so wonderful! We are working on a new posts with images and videos from both shows, until then, be sure to check us out on facebook and become a fan: http://www.facebook.com/KT.Shutter-Vision

Don’t forget, the drawing for the $150 gift certificate will be held March 31, 2011, we will notify the winner by e-mail or phone.

Can’t believe it’s been so long since my last post! Time is really getting away from me! I can definitely see it when I look at my little girl, 6 going on 16 (as my wife would say).

We have some new stuff in the works, so keep your eyes open over the next couple of months…

A new website design is in progress, with a more continuous feel, if you have any suggestions on what you’d like to see, let me know and I’ll see what I can do.

Real Estate photography services will branch off into it’s on site, though it will still be linked to from here. I just feel with the amount of work I’m doing in that area it’s time for it to stand more on it’s own. Keep an eye out for the new website and Facebook page!

Also, It’s bridal show season! We had a great time at the Cheyenne Bridal Expo earlier this month and met some wonderful brides and grooms! Sounds like there are going to be a ton of fun weddings this year and I look forward to capturing some great memories at each of them! Right now there are two more shows on the books for February, in Laramie and Rock Springs. As soon as I have all the details I’ll be posting more information. I think there are usually a couple more in march but we haven’t heard anything concrete about them yet.

We have decided to switch album vendors! We found someone to provide a higher quality product that I am really happy with. We weren’t able to get new samples before the Cheyenne Bridal Expo, but we have them now. If you would like to see them, come see us at one of the upcoming shows, or give me a call or drop me an email and we can arrange a time for a bridal consultation and we can talk more intimately about your day and you can take a look at the amazing new samples.

Finally, a belated Happy New Year to everyone, and a sincere Thank You to all my friends and clients for making 2010 a wonderful year, without you I would not be able to do what I love and provide you with memories you can cherish. I look forward to getting to know everyone even better and making 2011 a truly fantastic year.
