All About Me | Wedding & Portrait Photographer, Sheboygan WI

Happy Monday! I hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving...everyone in the US that is :D I also hope everyone not in the US had a great weekend as well. I had a fabulous 4 day weekend stuffed with good food and some shopping :D:D gotta love black Friday! and yes, we were some of the people that braved the pre-dawn and sub-arctic temperatures on Friday. All for what....a couple of hard drives. ha! well...ok, we didn't get JUST the hard drives but that was the real motivator. I did score some rather sweet deals. And Tucker, the dog, got a new bed out of it. Well...ok let me rephrase that...I bought Tucker a new, bigger, bed so the cat could sleep in the smaller not-so-tucker-sized bed. And do you think that is how it went?! ummm...no. 30 seconds after putting the bed on the floor Oswald looked at Tucker and said (well...if he could talk...) "hey...dog....outta that bed. it looks way comfier than this other one. move it." and what does Tucker do?? He MOVES. ugh. Dog. I would think that since Tucker is like 10 times the size of Oswald he would make Oz move. But.No. Goofy.Dog. If you would like to see a picture of these two characters...click here :) Sorry for the terrible quality of the picture...it was taken with my phone.

Now.

On to the reason for this post! 

Question #4 in my getting to know me series!

Question #4 is: What is your favorite book?

Now. Really. I have a lot of favorite books. Because I LOVE to read. I love to read just about anything. At least once. If I like I will re-read it...multiple times. So...on my list of books most read:

The Harry Potter Series

Twilight Series

The Horse Whisperer

In The Woods

The Da Vinci Code

Angels and Demons

The Last Symbol

And a whole slew of other books that I have read and have forgotten about :)

And...what is a blog post without a photo?!?! :D:D

What I am about to show you is the front page of my new site that we are working on! I am so excited to show you!! And I really can't wait to get everything moved over to the new site!!

Guest Book & Wedding Album | Wedding & Portrait Photographer

Good afternoon!! I hope everyone is having a great weekend! I know that I am! :) Friday night Mike and I had date night :D:D dinner and a movie. We ate a Jimmy Johns (oh how romantic I know :P) and saw Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 1. It. Was. Amazing. I LOVE the Harry Potter books. I have to admit I have read all of them 3 or 4 times.

Anyway...that is totally not the reason for this post. haha. 

A couple weeks ago I blogged about my new guest book album and new wedding album. Well, now I am going to show you some of the spreads from each of the books! I was really excited to be able to make these books and be able to show them to some future clients. I think it is a really great marketing tool for me. So, without further a-do....

First up is the guest book:

This book is 8 1/2 x 11" and press printed. 

Press printed means that it will have thinner pages and is similar to a magazine. All of the books that I offer have the lay-flat pages.

I ordered it with a leather cover and a foil stamp in the lower right hand corner.

There are 20 pages total (or 10 spreads).

The pages are designed so that there is plenty of white space for guests to sign their names and leave a personal message for the couple.

I really like this versus the traditional name ledger guest book.

Most pages also have text on them so that the guests can answer a question about the couple and give them advice.

The couple is Ashley & Tim...

(click on the photos to make them bigger :D:D)

To view all of the pages from this book please click here.
I have also started a referral program...so...if you book a wedding with me AND a you refer a friend to me and they book with me (they must book with me BEFORE your wedding date)....you will receive a free 20 page guest book! Pretty sweet deal! :D:D 

Next up, the wedding album. Let me tell you I have been drooling over this album since I got it in the mail. I cannot WAIT to do this with our engagement photos and wedding photos. 

So, the wedding album is from Chelsie & Casey's wedding on back in September. This was one of the weddings that I shot with the lovely Kayla of Kayla Richards Photography. 

This album is a 10x10 and is flushmount printed. 

Flush-what?! you ask. Well, the big difference is that the flushmount pages are thicker. I love them because they make great coffee table books and are super sturdy. This makes it easy for anyone to look at it. And, they are pretty resistant to finger prints. So no one is going to be smuding your book!

This album I also ordered with a leather cover, but no foil stamp.

It is also 20 pages (or 10 spreads).

To view more pages from this album click here.
It was so much fun to make these books! I can't wait to make more! If you have any questions about the books or the referral program please send me an email at info [at] mlphotoanddesign [dot] com.

Enjoy the rest of your Sunday!!
