What an opportunity for those newly engaged, about to be engaged, or those just dragging their feet about setting their date and getting those wedding plans nailed down. The Carolina Inn Bridal Show coming up on January 30th, 2011 from 1-4PM, promises to not disappoint.
The Chapel Hill and UNC landmark, is proudly listed on National Register of Historic Places and is AAA Four Diamond rated. What I can tell you is that in the central North Carolina, it is one of the premier locations to play host to a wedding and it has been this way for decades. It draws on the many Tar Heels fans as it is steeped in tradition. The service and food are impeccable and when it comes to events and weddings at the Carolina Inn, it appears as seamless and effortless.
Having shot a multitude of weddings there over the course of my six year wedding photography career, it was particularly an honor this year when I was invited…….albeit finally, to be a part of their annual wedding tradition; their exclusive bridal show. I have to admit that the unknown is weighing heavily on me. Having never been to one of their shows has me wondering what it’s going to be like. A little different I suppose from the sheer numbers and size of Forever Bridal\’sJanuary production, The Wedding Show.
And so it goes. I’ve got albums I’m preparing. Marketing materials designed and ordered, yet the most challenging aspect of doing a show is catching the brides’ eyes and keeping her there for awhile. It’s been tough this past year trying to figure out what the brides are in the market for, their budgets, and then pleading my case on experience and my art and how invaluable it is! My take: you get one chance to do it right and while price does not always determine quality, it does determine someone that understands business and the numbers. The art draws a potential client in. The personality match keeps that client there for longevity.
I’ve got 20 tickets left to this exclusive affair from 1-4PM at the Carolina Inn, January 30th. They’re going for the $15 each. Want them as a gift from Swank Photo Studio?
