I'm offering two special collections for February, featuring beautiful photobooks and albums from Zookbinders. Each collection is only available to a limited number of brides, so the first brides to get in a deposit will get their choice! My daughter Caroline got to name the offers, and she's been on a big Disney Princess kick, so here goes:

Offer 1: The Briar Rose (5 available)
Engagement session
Unlimited time on the wedding date from Ian.
9x9 inch Photobook lay-flat coffeetable book (40 sides) with wraparound photo cover

***

Offer 2: The Princess Aurora (3 available)
Engagement session
Unlimited time on the wedding date from Ian and an associate photographer.
10x10 inch Zookbook lay-flat album (40 sides) with Reflectionz photo cover and two matching 6x6 Photobook clone coffeetable books (each additional Photobook is $250 with this offer)
DVD of all finished images with printing rights release

Price: $4500.00 ($1500 due at signing, $1000 due at 90 days and at 60 days before the wedding date, $1000 due upon album design approval)

I've never offered the DVD on a basic-level package before, so this is an excellent opportunity, and the upgrade package gives you two photographer coverage, a premium album and parent books as well as the DVD at a discounted rate.

Offers good now through February 28th, 2009.

I've been waiting a long time to post this one....

In November of 2008, Jacki Allen and Jaimeson Gann of Kentucky Bride Magazine brought me in to shoot their Bouquets For Every Season spread for the January 2009 issue of the magazine, appearing on pages 54-57. It took the better part of an afternoon to shoot these lovely bouquets and boutonniers, crafted by E. Stephen Hein Florist, and we did the shoot at their spacious store on Winchester Road.

Jacki was kind enough to take a little footage and snap a photo or two of me at work with my little Leica point and shoot camera, and I synced it up so you'll see what shots coincided with which images.

I've been sitting on the footage for 2 months-- the day after the shoot, I had it edited into this footage so I could send my daughter Caroline the movie to show her a little of what Daddy does all day. Hope you enjoy it too!

If you have a bridal show specials flyer from either of my appearances this month, I'm extending the show specials to include weddings booked by January 28th. Call today at 859.402.0634 for an appointment!

... is this Sunday at the Lexington Convention Center! Register now to get $2 off your admission for your whole group. Your admission includes a copy of the latest issue of Kentucky Bride Magazine, chock full of great images from yours truly!

Also, check out our show specials: http://www.ianlozada.com/Jan09BridalShowSpecialsflyer.pdf . I'll have contracts at the booth so that you can lock in your date before it's gone!

Just got tired of looking at the old template.

Also, I figured that the design of the Christmas Card was no longer a big secret, so...

Yes, the twins have personalized "Thing 1" and "Thing 2" onesies to go with Caroline's Cat-In-The-Hat chapeau.

Already plotting about the theme for next year's cards. Maybe they'll actually go out before Christmas this year.

... at the bridal show at the Embassy Suites yesterday. I think I heard that we had over 700 brides show up.

I've extended the show specials through next Sunday's bridal show, so call now to book your date. If you didn't get a copy of the show package specials flyer, click here.

It seemed like a lot of you were looking at the same dates-- a lot of people telling me they needed May 23 and 30, June 20, July 11 and 25, August 29, September 5 and 12, October 17 and 24. Those dates should go relatively quickly, so don't wait.

For those of you who missed me this time, this coming Sunday is the Kentucky Bride Bridal Show at the Lexington Convention Center, and admission includes a copy of the new issue of Kentucky Bride Magazine! Hope to see you there...

Hey, folks, come down and see me this Sunday at the Embassy Suites, where I'll be appearing at the Winter Bridal Show from 11AM to 5PM. I'll also be at the Kentucky Bride Bridal Show the following Sunday at the Lexington Convention Center-- the new issue of Kentucky Bride magazine will be available to all brides attending the show! I'll have special bridal-show only package deals available at each of the shows, so make sure you lock in your date right away!

See you there!
