Franklin Bridal Ball

This summer has been our busiest ever. Not only are we photographing more weddings this summer than ever before, but we can be seen at more bridal shows this summer as well. Last week was the Franklin Bridal Ball. We had a great time! Below are some photos Whitney took at the show.

The brides-to-be were given pink caps with veils so the vendors could pick the actual brides out of the crowd.


The show was sponsored by Premiere Bride Magazine and The Pink Book. They had all kinds of pink things at the show.


The Brides-To-Be, and one or two kind fiances, were lined up to get into the show.


Even guys can get into pink.



The night hosted a number of fashion shows.


We had a number of friends who were at the show with us. If you missed the show, here is your chance to see a few of the booths.

Maples Wedding Cakes had one of the best looking booths. Of course they also have some of the best cake in town. Jay sent Whitney and I home with an entire sheet cake. The diet will start next week.

A Magical Affair's giant "photos" held real life models.

I had a great time getting to know the ladies as McNeal Wedding Video.

Mary Alice and Amber, at A Delightful Day, had a killer looking display, as usual.

Our friends at The White Room always have some of the best gowns!


Of course I can't forget our booth. We stuffed it full of our new albums and other new product. Jen's album designs are so amazing. We were so excited to show off some of her latest designs. We were also excited to introduce some new product. Our new Lay-Flat Coffee Table Books are super cool! Be sure to stop by the studio to see these. We now are offering custom designed wedding invitations as well. We are keeping Jen busy with this contemporary looking invitation that shows off your engagement photos to your friends and family.



Whitney may have mentioned in a past blog how tragic it was to pack up after the last bridal show. Amongst many things, one of our favorite lamps was destroyed. So, this time we replaced it with this good looking plastic one.
