What they said:

“Beth!! I love the pictures!! We flew in at midnight last night, and it was the first thing we did when we got home!!  I know we haven’t seen even half of the pictures, but thank you so much for doing such a great job!! Keep in touch!”

Leah – 2009 bride

Blush listed by liveBooks designer

picture-1Hey! I just realized that liveBooks designer, Brandie Mata listed Blush Imagery’s website as a sample site amongst her good works. liveBooks is a San Francisco based website company we use and love. To create our site we signed up with local Maine rep J and we were fortunately paired up with designer Brandie. The process was fun and easy. She did a super job incorporating and enhancing our already established brand and look created by local Maine designer Arielle Walrath. We get constant compliments on the website’s look. So thanks Brandie! We think you’re very cool too!

Eastland Park Hotel, Portland Maine, Maine wedding album: 04.18.09 Leah & Paul

Here’s Leah and Paul’s first draft album for their 04.18.09 Portland, Maine wedding. Yes, it’s ready to view that fast! With first draft albums, my goal is to get a large highlight reel of sorts up for the bride and groom. This gives them a variety of image ideas while their wedding day story is still fresh in their head. This preview is a great example… holding 80 sides full of art details, portraits and most important and my favorite, the action of the day. Also, it gives them a wide variety of layouts to figure out what style they like most. Layouts are custom created and range from in style from minimalistic to classic to sweet. This process is really fun for me and my brides. Couples will refine their book until it’s perfect for them. Each revision is viewable online, of course. When the couple is satisfied, the images are all super-duper imaged, toned and printed. Then it’s off our binder!  Check out Leah & Paul’s very classic event by clicking on pic below. Oh p.s. … the last page of this book is one of my fav pics of all time for a closing album shot!

Eastland Park Hotel, Maine wedding: Leah and Paul 04.18.09

mainewedLeah and Paul 04.18.09 Portland, ME

This weekend was amazing! Leah and Paul’s wedding was a perfect start to a great 2009 wedding season. Maybe it was the big Irish Catholic family or the fabulous Maine wedding vendors working the day, but the the event felt familiar, fun and relaxed… unfolding perfectly. Leah and Paul, you guys are amazing fun. Hands down— a flawless event.  I laughed from the salon in the early morning to the crazy dance party (MATILDA!) at night!  Your friends and families were so sweet to me all day. The images are fantastic! Every ounce of ‘happy’ shows! Expect the rest of your images to post this week and an amazing album too! Here’s just one of my favorite images from the day.
