Edmonton Bridal Fair 2009

This past weekend, I set up a booth at the annual Edmonton Bridal Fair. The place was packed! I enjoyed speaking with so many future brides (and grooms) about capturing all the memories of their special day with photographs. I had a lot of help from both my fiance and also my friend Alex, a newlywed bride whom I photographed this past summer.

Here are some images of the booth shortly after we set it up:







We had a number of my recent favourite wedding photographs on display, as well as a few sample wedding albums for people to flip through. People could also enter a draw to win a free portrait session (bridal, engagement, or trash the dress), and also a destination wedding photography package. And of course, this wouldn't be complete without a bowl of complimentary sweets. :)

A pleasant bonus was that out of the seven displays at the show that were in my category (photography), we received a prize for best display! (You can see the blue ribbon hanging on the display to the right of the yellow-coloured portrait.)

It was wonderful to see so much interest in wedding photography. I truly enjoy working to make a beautiful permanent record of a couple's most important day, and look forward to doing this over the coming year, and sharing the images with you here!

xoxo,

Helga
