Engagement Gallery Night - November 8, 2008

We exhibited at the Kiln Creek Golf Club's Bridal Fair today and kicked off our first Engagement Gallery.  What is an Engagement Gallery, you ask?  Well.....it's going to be a lot of fun!  From now until November 1, we are offering complimentary engagement sessions to all engaged couples (on location or in studio) and will give each couple one 20 inch print.  It could be a 20x20 image or a 8x20 storyboard panel image...   No limits on creativity!  Is there a catch, you ask?  Only two.  You should not have already booked your wedding photographer and you must really be engaged.  

The sessions usually last about an hour and I recommend going to a location that means something to you or that you just really like.  I haven't had a groom say the engagement session was painful yet so I'll try my best to keep that on my record!  If you would like to buy additional images or products (Save the Date cards, Christmas cards, guest book, etc.) other than the complimentary engagement image, you can certainly do so, but will be under no obligation at all.  I've always liked Saturn cars because of their no-hassle policy.  So I guess we're the Saturn photography counterpart.

On Saturday, November 8, from 7:00PM - 9:00 PM, we'll host a reception at our Toano studio (with food of course!) and images from all the couples will be displayed throughout our 2500 square foot studio that used to be an old farmhouse.  In fact, it's the oldest surviving house in Toano so it has a lot of character in it.  You can take your image home that night.  You can use it as a signature board image or display it at your wedding or simply have it at your house.  Who knows...maybe you'll give it as a Christmas gift to your parents and have one gift crossed off your list early!

Why are we crazy enough to be doing this?  It's simple.  Even though my husband and I have been married for 11 years, I remember how overwhelming bridal fairs were.  We're giving you a chance to try us out to see if our personalities and photography style match what you're looking for in a wedding photographer before you sign a contract.  

You can call us at 757.849.8566 or e-mail jodi@capturethismoment.com to book a session.

Congratulations and we look forward to meeting you soon!

(P.S.  I forgot to take a picture of our own booth, but will post more images of the show later.  But look at the Mary Englebreit cake above...  This cake brings a smile to my face every time I see it.  Our booth was right across from it and the cakes are as good as they look.  (To get in touch with Alice Cooke, the cake designer, go to her website at www.cakesbyalice.net.)
