At Studio 206 attended the Grand Reception Gala at Carillon Park and Patterson Homestead. This is our second year attending this event. If you were at the show, thanks for coming and please feel free to set up a time with us to go over more of our work and packages that we have to offer. I really enjoy working these events, it’s nice to see all of my vendor friends and meet new people. The pictures above are vendors that were at Carillon Park. Under their images is the company name and website. They are great.
Schedule Your Session with Our Bunny
At Studio 206 is setting up appointments with our bunny on Wednesdays and Thursdays from 1pm-6pm starting now through March 4th. Call today to schedule your session. Limited time only.
Remember we will be choosing a name for our bunny on Friday February 12th. So, keep those great names coming.
Miss Reagan was full of life and ready to get her pictures with the baby bunny. She is the neice of Meredith and did a wonderful job with her photo shoot. She loved the bunny, as you can tell. I've gotten to know Reagan over the last 6 months and she is a great one to photograph! Full of energy and obviously loves being infront of a camera.
Brooke and Macy did a wonderful job on their photo shoot with the bunny. They were a blast to work with. The girls had lots of laughs and it gave me good practice on different ways to get little ones to laugh. It amazing how quick little ones grow! That's why I love my job, I can see the different stages in their lives as they grow up.

"Your Wedding Your Way Break with Tradition and Create a One-of-a-Kind Celebration You'll Never Forget!" Written By: Sharon Naylor. It has to be one of my favorite books so far.
On page 39, it talks about breaking the tradition of seeing each other prior to the ceremony. It says, “Ditch it altogether! Meet up before the ceremony to really get the effect of your groom seeing you for the first time in your gown. Then you’ll be able to talk to each other, and you’ll look perfect for the pre-wedding photos. This plan also saves time immediately after the ceremony, delivering you right to your cocktail party since you don’t have to pose for a half hour of pictures together right after the ceremony. “This is becoming a more popular trend for weddings. And the “First Sight” picture as we call it is usually a very emotional moment for the couple. And we are able to capture it by having two photographers at your wedding.
On page 49, it talks about being presented to your guest as husband and wife. It says, “ Use both names if you’re hyphenating, such as Mr. Anthony Smith and Mrs. Anne Jones-Smith. Ask an honored relative or friend to be the one to announce you for the first time as husband and wife. Announce yourselves as husband and wife, by saying “ I’d like to present my wife, (name)” and” I’d to present my husband, (name)” Your children can be the ones to announce you as husband and wife. Your parents can be the ones to announce you as husband and wife.”
On page 56, it talks about sharing your first dance as husband and wife. A way to tweak that would be to start off with a slow dance and have it turn into a fast up beat dance, or surprise your guest with a ballroom dance that you two learned prior to your wedding day. We photographed a wedding last year and the couple had multiple dance moves for multiple songs that they put together. Their guests seemed to really enjoy it.
On Page 60, it talks about cutting the cake. It says “skip the tradition of smashing cake into each other’s faces. That’s so 1983. Instead, display trust by feeding each other neatly. You can dot each other’s noses with a fingertip of frosting. Use heirloom cake knives, perhaps the ones your parents or grandparents used at their weddings, and share that story with your guest. If you have children at the wedding, make it a group cake feeding, with them getting to dot your nose with frosting as well.” With all that said, I still like the smashing of the cake in the faces. It makes for fun pictures. However, I think those are great alternatives for the cake. One of the pictures posted above is a couple who wore glasses at the time of their cake cutting. It added a little bit of cute humor to it.
This book is great and has so many ideas. I wish I could write about all the ones that I like. Even If you don’t want to break the main traditions, this book has little things traditions that you could tweak and make your wedding fun and interesting. Please let me know if you like this blog and if this information was helpful to you. Thanks

Going Bridal By: Li Robbins is a cute and funny book to read. "When a typically savvy woman starts to feel like wedding planning is making her cuckoo, she’s obviously… Going Bridal! In these pages journalist Lu Robbins, who coined the term, takes a wise and witty look at the emotional overload that surrounds wedding planning and suggests healthy way to get from “Yes!” to “ I do!:” Filled with helpful, humorous stories from women who have experienced Going Bridal firsthand, this fun, chatty survival guide puts it all in perspective. Brides will learn how to identify triggers, recognize the symptoms, and successfully treat this prewedding syndrome. Grooms will get a bride’s-eye view of the pressures facing their betrothed.”
When you decide to book with At Studio 206, we will do our best to make sure you are comfortable and we want to get to know you and your fiancé as much as possible. We want you to feel comfortable and make sure we capture everything that is important to you. We will try to answer any questions you might have about photography on your wedding day. We give you a list of poses at the time of our first meeting and that list is just a guide line for us to go by on your wedding day. Your wedding planning doesn’t have to be stressful, it’s just very important to work with vendors that you are comfortable with and make sure to ask as many questions as you need to. That will help cut back on stress. Most of all, just remember that your wedding day is about you and your fiancé, try to have fun with the planning and just know that everything will work out!
If you have been reading the blogs that I have been posting and you find them helpful please feel free to leave comments you may have for us and let us know what you think.
Until the Best Offer Do Us Part, was an article that I read in the Wall Street Journal “Some tradition-minded brides wouldn’t dream of parting with their wedding dress and veil after their big day, but more pragmatic brides are now selling their dresses at a growing list of online market places.” The article continues to talk about the different companies and what they are like. If this is something you are interested in there are some websites that you can go to and sign up to list your wedding dress.
- Bravo Bride (BravoBride.com)
- Once Wed (OnceWed.com)
- PreOwnedWEddingDresses (PreOwnedWeddingDresses.com)
- SellYourWeddingDress (SellYourWeddingDress.com)
This is obviously not for everyone, I know if I was a bride I would definitely not sell my wedding dress or veil, but I see a point in dong it though! It Might be right for some people.
