Wedding Show Thanks!

Yesterday, Jordan and I attended the wedding show at the Agricenter in Memphis. This wasn't my first wedding show (not by a longshot), but it WAS a first for Kevin Barre Photography.

I spent literally every spare hour (and some not so spare) of the last two weeks getting ready for the show. I had to run through all of the weddings I've ever done and select just the best images. As you can imagine, this was no small feat. I settled on 1222 images (from over 37,000!) to put in my slideshow. I put together some music to go along with it and showed it all on a 60-inch HDTV screen at the show, which I feel was really well received. We actually had people comment to us about what a great marketing decision it was, instead of using "old-fashioned" albums. Who would have believed that, even a few years ago?

It was a bunch of work (I got only 90 min. of sleep the night before), but I think it will be worth it. My phone is ringing off the hook today, so if you are one of the ones I spoke to yesterday about a specific date, you may want to think about booking us soon, as many of the good Spring and Summer dates are being taken.

Also, to any of those who stopped by to chat and get some info, I had a really great time meeting with you all and look forward to working with many of you in the future. Keep checking back with my site. I'm going to do some serious gallery updating this week, so there will be MANY new photos on my site.

The coolest thing about the show was hearing from one of the other photographers who checked out my site today. He called just to do a little networking, and in the process said this: "Man, you have a really great eye for this, I mean you just SEE it."

I'm pretty much speechless.
