Winner Winner Picture Dinner
Jan. 28th, 2013 08:49 pmYesterday I went to a bridal fair at the local high school. There were about 20-25 vendors total and there was a variety. I saw photographers, a cake maker, a florist, a limo service, a DJ, a caterer, a jewelery store, a tent and awning rental, wedding dress and tux rentals, and lots of lots of independent consultants (Mary Kay, L'Bri, PartyLite, etc.) It was a good opportunity for information gathering and there were several people who stood out as very nice and eager to help.
One place in particular was Griffin Photography. They're a husband and wife team based out of Baraboo (aka one of my favorite cities in the world.) They had a quirky sense to them and I liked their albums because they featured quite a few "offbeat" brides. One wedding was held at the Circus World Museum, another was held at the Elk's Lodge where the bride wore a turquoise gown and all the guests got to bowl for an hour.
They had a raffle going on at their table (actually, all the vendors did) for $100 gift certificate towards their services.
I got an email from the woman today saying that I was the lucky recipient of this package!
*squee*
I'm sure I'll wind up spending more than $100 (with the portrait session they offer being exactly $100 and the cost of prints being more than that), but it's always nice to win things and I think some couple/engagement photos would be nice to have.
