The River Region Bridal Fair

We had a great time at the recent River Region Bridal Fair and met some wonderful brides to be. We booked a number of weddings at the event and we look forward to working with our newest clients!

So...we have an interesting story to share:

So we showed up at the Bridal fair around 10:30am on Sunday morning to setup for the show which is supposed to last from 1pm to 5pm. Guess where we were at 12:01am on Sunday morning? New Orleans!!! Yep, we drove 5 hours through the night swerving around deer on I-65, and navigating through snow for a few hours to arrive home around 5am. We got about 3 hours of sleep, and then packed up for the Bridal Fair. Hopefully no one noticed that we were deliriously tired!

We were in New Orleans for the wedding of some friends of ours, Shaun and Dione. Matt was a groomsman and Leigh was a reader. This was one of the biggest and most elaborate weddings we've ever been to...and we've been to a lot! The bride put us up at the W Hotel in downtown New Orleans, checked us into suites on the day of the wedding to get ready, then we took a fleet of limos via police escort (this was the coolest part) to the church and then to the reception. We had 4 motorcycle cops stopping traffic everywhere we went...we felt like rock stars! Then the reception was an amazing venue at a ritzy country club, and the band..."The Topcats" simply amazing.

I just think I talked more about our friend's wedding than the Bridal Fair...but I'm telling you it was amazing. Anyway, we are about to start getting busy with bridal sessions, engagement sessions, and weddings...so you will see less of me rambling and more pictures very soon :)
