Booking season is rolling on, and next Sunday, March 21st, I’ll be appearing at the Tapestry bridal show at the Galt House. Tapestry is specifically geared towards multicultural brides, and as you’ve probably seen here, I specialize in weddings of many cultures, including Indian, Jewish, and Eastern Orthodox traditions.  I just added my first Arabic wedding for July, as well!

Here’s the latest on which dates are unavailable for 2010:

March 26, 27, 28

April 17, 24, 25

May 21, 22, 23

June 4, 5, 6, 11, 12, 13, 19, 26, 27

July 10, 11, 16, 17

October 16

As you can imagine, I expect to see a number of inquiries come up shortly, so if you’re still needing to lock down your date with me, don’t delay!

A few more dates came off the board last week, including our first May and September bookings.

The current list of unavailable dates:

March 26, 27, 28
April 17, 23, 24, 25
May 21, 22, 23
June 4, 5, 6, 11, 12, 13, 19, 26, 27
July 16, 17, 18
October 16

Bookings have been heating up the last three weeks. I’m hoping to have about 4 more dates in May and August come off the available list over the next week or two, so time is of the essence… Call me at 859.402.0634 to set up your consultation today!

Things are beginning to pick up a little for summer dates, so please keep in mind that the following dates are no longer available:

March 27

April 17, 24, 25

June 4, 5, 6, 11, 12, 13, 19

July 16, 17, 18

I can’t help but notice that May’s still wide open. The next bride to book a May wedding with me will get a free 20 page, 8×10 engagement photo wedding guestbook ($125 value). If the package you’re booking doesn’t necessarily include the engagement session, I’ll toss that in as well ($350 value). Any other brides who book me for this May will get the option to buy the book at $75, and if you don’t have an e-session included, I’ll give you half off that ($175).

As booking season rolls along, I’m getting a better sense of what’s available and what isn’t. The bulk of the inquiries of late have been for the fall. September’s entirely gone, and the front half of October now is, as well.

Here’s the current scorecard:

March 27, 28
May 9, 16
June 6, 12, 13, 14
July 12, 18
September (all weekend dates)
October 2, 3, 4, 9, 10, 11

The good news is that if you’re an August bride, we’re still wide open, and if you’re an April bride who’s scrambling still, there’s still hope– but call me immediately at 859.402.0634 for some unadvertised specials.

… 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…

We’re already deep into booking season for 2009 around here, and I just wanted to give you a feel for what’s available and what’s almost gone at this point. With another June date coming off the board today, late spring is beginning to close up.

These dates are already booked:
March 27, 28
May 9, 16
June 6, 12, 13, 14
July 12, 18
October 9, 10, 11

In addition, I have multiple people looking at each remaining Saturday in May and June, so if you wait for the bridal shows, you may get shut out on your date. On the plus side, I still have April open, and late summer is still relatively untouched, although I expect that to change shortly.

I’m taking appointments for next week to talk about booking, so give me a call at 859.402.0634 right away to reserve a time!

So I’m with the family, visiting my folks in Long Beach, Long Island, and I’ve got a camera out, taking a photo of Caroline, who’s playing with a napkin on top of her head, pretending it’s a Pilgrim woman’s hat, when my brother starts giving a speech. Now, celebrating Thanksgiving with us are Tim’s girlfriend, Nadia, and her family. Well, as soon as Tim starts this, I have a feeling something’s up.

It was.

So, long story short, I’m not available Columbus Day weekend (Oct 9-12), because I get to be a groomsman for once. Congratulations, Tim and Nadia!

In other news, the 2009 pricelist is available on my website. The big news is that I’ve listened to your requests and a coffeetable book is now included in all coverages, with the option to upgrade to a premier quality album that reflects your personal style. Also, included with all premier albums is a DVD of all finished images– there’s no longer a requirement to buy parent books to get the DVD.

The schedule’s filling up quickly for 2009, so call for an appointment right away– next availability for meetings is December 16th.
