Earlier today, Betty of Type A Planning and I had our Wedding Salon bridal show at the Beverly Hills Hotel. The event was jammed packed with some really awesome guests! We had a great time meeting brides-to-bes and their guests. Betty did an AMAZING job planning this show for both of us and decorating the booth. She had some help from some wonderful vendors: Cards de Luxe, Fleuretica, Lounge Appeal, and Wildflower Linens. Both Betty and I would like to thank them for providing their products for our booth. We look forward to working with you again in the very near future!

First and foremost, I just want to extend an extra special thank you to everyone that helped Betty and me today (my awesome parents, Solana, Betty’s husband Raymond, and Betty’s sister Angela). I also want to thank some of my 2009 brides that showed up with their significant other and/or friends – Alicia/Austin, Sarah, Sonia, Soraya/Viral, Emily, and Ivette. Sorry I wasn’t able to talk to you a bit longer, but it means the world that you were all able to make it! I can’t wait to photograph your wedding/e-session. Also, to all my 2008 couples, none of this would be possible if it weren’t for each and every one of you giving me the privilege and pleasure of doing what I love most. My first year in the wedding photography business has been more than I could’ve ever imagine thanks to you all.

If you’re a bride I met at the show and are checking out this blog for the first time, thank you a ton for stopping by my booth (I know there’s a lot of thank yous going around, but I truly mean every single one). To my new guests from the Wedding Salon bridal show, please enjoy your stay here, and don’t hesitate to contact me if you have any questions or would like to inquire about my photography services for your wedding day :). I already heard from a few of you via e-mail earlier tonight and will be responding very, very soon! We’ll also be announcing the winner of the grand prize gift-away in the next day; so please stay tuned to my blog as well as Betty’s. In the mean time, here are photos of our booth setup and the wonderful folks that helped Betty and me out:

Lastly, the dynamic duo for the evening; running our own businesses but also working closely together to bring quality planning and photography services!
