This iris is not the normal color. Looks like mahogany or perhaps chocolate.
It is finally spring in Vermont

Recently got back from a cruise on the Carnival Legend. Wonderful sailing companions, wonderful weather, wonderful food, WONDERFUL. Will feature a few of my photos of this experience. My photo style is not to take just the typical tourist photos, but to look to capture the spirit, the mood, the playfulness of an experience. Today’s photo is romantic.

Green Mountain PhotoShows has a great solution to the “break the ice” situation. Since a rehearsal dinner is a time when both families (and extended families & friends) are mingling, show a photo slideshow! Recruit both families to supply favorite photos of the bride, groom, family times, goofy times, school events, important family members who have passed on–tell the COUPLE’s story! This is a great way to spark conversations and laughter. Have some hankies available cause tender memories trigger a few happy tears too! Our clients have found this is a great way to relax their guests especially when “multiple” families are involved.
Green Mountain PhotoShows can design a special one-of-a-kind slideshow at an affordable price–packages starting at $75. We’ll add movement and music to your slideshow. Perfect as a thank you gift to your parents or parents can surprise the bride and groom with a slideshow. Interested? Check us out on BridalTweet and on the web www.greenmtnphotoshows.com.

Please stop by our booth at the Killington VT Bridal Show. This year’s show is being held at the Mountain Meadows Lodge 9/27/09. The show starts at 11:30.
This week I’ve been busy preparing for the show. Meant to post an entry before this, but time just seemed to fly. This is the third Killington Bridal Show for Green Mountain PhotoShows. Each year we have a booth at the Killington, Middlebury & Rutland shows. Each location attracts its own special attendees. Killington is a mixture of destination brides and local brides. Middlebury is smaller, more intimate and caters to brides from Middlebury area. The Rutland show is the largest of the three and draws brides & grooms from central to southern Vermont and nearby New York.
Bridal shows are great for getting ideas, deals and taste of wedding cakes. AND door prizes!!! Each vendor supplies a door prize of at least $75 in value. These prizes are given out at the end of the day with the last prize being a very SPECIAL one.
The brides (and quite often grooms) must stop at each booth and get the vendor to mark their program. To be eligible for the door prizes each bride HAS to visit each booth. That insures each vendor has a chance to demostrate their particular service, product, destination, etc.
My service is crafting custom photo slideshows to music. It could be played at the rehearsal dinner or the reception. Think of it–the story of the two of you growing up, meeting & falling in love. It is a perfect way to bring together family & friends. Give them as thank you gifts for parents & friends. Brides (and mom’s) are definitely looking for ways to keep expenses down while keeping the wedding unique. Our PhotoShow packages are affordable. You can also add a PhotoShow Montage (an 8×10 mosaic of all the photos from the slideshow creating a photo from the wedding).
So–hope to see you there!
Just started a new PhotoShow. Thanks Marie & Ashley for coming back for another PhotoShow. A repeat customer! This time I’m doing a PhotoShow for Marie’s daughter & soon-to-be son-in-law. PhotoShows are a great way to tell the “couple’s life story. Brings both sets of families together and is guaranteed to get everyone talking, laughing and maybe crying at the reception or rehearsal dinner.
Congrats Candace & Michael.
