Embellished Weddings :: Amanda Taylor

We were really honored and excited to be interviewed by Amanda Taylor, the wedding planner extraordinaire from Embellished Weddings! Check out her blog post featuring Prints Charming Photography here!


Amanda is such a sweetheart, and her brides just love working with her. We love working with her, too, because embellished weddings are always less stressful, smoother-running, and beautiful for pictures!

Besides being a wedding industry colleague, Amanda and her husband and daughter are customers of ours (wedding and baby pictures) and good friends. If you're a bride-to-be or in the wedding industry, I encourage you to follow Amanda on Twitter and Facebook, and don't forget to check out her blog and website! And, of course, if you know anyone planning a wedding or other important event, you can confidently send them Amanda's way!

Sharon's Mother-Daughters Session

When Sharon called me to schedule a quick portrait session with her daughters, my heart when out to them. She and her girls were reunited to attend a family member's funeral and life's brevity was on their minds.

They were such a fun group to photograph! In the few minute we spent together, I could tell that they had shared more than a lifetime of laughs and it really was heartwarming to watch them interact with each other.

Here are just a few of my favorites from the session...




Family and friends can see the rest of the proofs here. (Use Sharon's last name as the gallery password.) Thanks for checking in to keep up with the latest!

Five New Holiday Card Designs

We're really excited to offer five new designs for holiday cards this year! I hope these images make sense to you... I did my best to show the front of the card, the inside spread, and the back. All of these are folded, press-printed cards.






We'd love to hear what you think! They're really flexible, and can be used for Christmas, New Years... any of the winter holidays, just by changing a bit of text for you. Of course, we still have our all of our designs we've acquired over the years as well, so if you want to see more, feel free to check out the holiday card gallery here, and click on the thumbnails to zoom in.

Of course, if none of our designs tickle your fancy, we can always design a custom card for you. We have a great designer that does all of our custom design work, and we're confident she can create something you'll just love, and that will meet your special requirements.


Pricing For Holiday Cards This Year

If you know Holly and I, you know we like to be up-front with our pricing so you know what to expect! We have three options for cards this year, all in the larger 5x7 size, and all include envelopes...

Press-printed, folded cards are printed on heavy cover stock and are folded, either horizontally or vertically, based on the design of the cards. Prices start at $2.50 per card in quantity.

Flat cards are also press-printed, but instead of folding, they are just a single 5x7 piece of cover stock, printed on both sides. Prices start at 1.50 per card in quantity.

Photopaper cards are basically our cool card designs, but printed as a 5x7 photo for our customers on a tighter holiday card budget. Prices start at $1.25 in quantity.


If we can help you with your Christmas cards, don't hesitate to give us a call! We have just a few more sessions available before we're completely booked up for 2009 and we'd love to be able to help you!

Tori's Bridal Portraits :: A Few Favorites

Congratulations, Tori & Brandon, on a fun Las Vegas wedding at The Mirage on the Strip! Now that they're married, we can blog a few favorites from Tori's colorful bridal session at the OKC Museum of Art. It was our first visit there for portraits, and were we in for a treat!

The colors and lighting are AMAZING in the Chihuly exibit.

Quick tip for photographers who may want to shoot there... Don't put any weight on the exhibit platforms! Apparently, the previous photographer to shoot there had cracked several of the exhibits by having a bride sit and stand up on the platform next to the actual exhibits. Oops! The museum staff were on high alert when we arrived and I was glad to know what we could and couldn't do. I was actually quite amazed at how nice they were despite their previous photographer experience.

Up on the roof of the OKCMOA.

Apparently, they host a Thursday "Cocktails on the Skyline" up here during the warmer months of the year. I'm going to have to check that out next May when it reopens!

In other news, we're in the process of re-activating all of our sessions from this year to accommodate holiday card and gift print orders. Last date for ordering cards and gift prints is going to be sometime early in December, so now's the time to be making those plans!
