Meet Your Photographer Before You Book Them

Why a Wedding Videographer is Important
Ashley Stills | January 24, 2011Photography is an art form and it captures one aspect of your wedding day beautifully.

Boudoir Photography: The Hottest Gift for Your Groom and 6 Reasons Why You Should Do It!
WeddingDay | September 10, 2010If you took time to research really, really old art, you would discover women have been posing for sensual paintings and photographs for more than 150 years. We’ve called it different things along the way – pin-up, glamour shots, retro or sexy photos – and it’s evolved a lot over the past several decades. “Although the term came into being later, boudoir photography is as old as the earliest photographic processes,” explained Janet Kaufman (Intimates by Janet Lynn). “It draws on elements of sensual painting and printmaking that were distinct from, yet related to erotic art.”
