The Show Must Go on!

Last night, Thursday June 11, 2009 was the Wedding Festivals trade show. The only summer trade show, and our first show to debut our photography to the public! (Which previously was only offered privately and to our corporate clients.) We were anxiously and with great preparation looking forward to it. The trade shows are an opportunity for us to meet hundreds of brides, but also for you to get to know us a little as well - a glimpse behind the camera- so to speak. And we want our booth to represent our personality and the creativity that we will be infusing into each and every photo shoot and video. That all starts weeks before the actual trade show. The Better Tie crew begins discussing ideas and new designs into the wee hours of the morning,(which is usually when we work best!)Once we have a design in mind we start dry runs of the set up in our workshop. We feel strongly that time + effort produces perfection. And we want that for each project we are working on.
We were very excited about this trade show, and were pumped when the doors opened at 4pm and soon to be brides and grooms and friends came pouring through. Our booth was looking sweet, lights blazing, dvd playing, meeting & greeting...then shortly before 5pm...BLACK! The entire civic center lost power due to some pretty crazy high winds. You couldn't even see the vendors whose booth is besides yours, or the bride that is a foot away from you! Amazingly though by the light of the emergency exit signs, and open doors that let some light stream in...the show continued! A great friend of ours brought some flash lights and we hooked them up to display our booth and held them so the brides could view our albums. And we thoroughly enjoyed the campfire-esque feel. The show must go on- and we are so thankful that it did! Unfortunately, we could barely see your faces to remember you the next time we meet with you, but we had SO many Great conversations with each person that stopped by our booth, and are really appreciative for the opportunity to get to know your style and expectations for your wedding. And we can confidently say that we can Rock your Photo & Video Dreams!!
This was a night to remember, we look forward to speaking with you in the upcoming weeks!
