Saint Louis Bridal Show | America’s Center | Lisa Nikole Premiere Photographers

Wednesday, January 19th, 2011

WOW! It’s 2011 already and we are mid way into Jan. In a few short months we’ll all be thinking about Christmas again… time flies!!!

Every January we do a Bridal Show.. this year we chose the America’s Center Bridal Show in downtown Saint Louis. This show is sponsored by Saint Louis Bride and Groom Magazine. It’s one of the biggest and longest running bridal show in Saint Louis and we were thrilled as we were asked this year to become a part of the show.

It was a great show and we met so many wonderful people and wow there is an excitement in the 2011 and 2012 brides and grooms. We saw a lot more grooms out there this year and it was great to see. Lisa Nikole has always said it’s about both the bride and groom. So many times the groom is left to the side while all focus is on the bride, we feel it’s both of theirs day and we were glad to meet so many grooms!

This year we did something different, we wanted to stand out from the crowd. We got this cool idea to put a shiny penny on a specially made business card for all the brides we could hand them too. If you are not sure what the penny has to do with brides.. let me remind you..

Something old, Something New, Something borrowed, Something blue and a sixpence for your shoe! Since a sixpence is rare, the saying has been updated to say a shiny new penny. To read more on this please follow this LINK to learn more of the tradition!

We handed out over 900 cards and pennies.

The other fun thing we did was instead of handing out our price list, we brought our Ipad with us and set up an auto response email that sent our pricing list out directly to anyone that wanted.. all we needed was a first name and email and it was in their inbox before they walked away.

We also held a drawing for HALF off your wedding day photography. The winners were Tiffany Jones and Lauren Lickenbrock!

Thanks to everyone that helped make Lisa Nikoles debut at the Americas Center Bridal Show a success. Thanks for stopping by and more then that, thank you for trusting us with your special memories..

Here’s just a few pictures of our booth, ooo and a Rolls, I am so getting a ride in a Rolls one day. I’m not a big car buff but that car was SWEET!

Kerry called me and wanted to know if I would shoot the upcoming 80′s bash. Of course I said and as we hung up the phone I thought… Wow.. the 80′s, WHAT was in the 80′s. So I started to look online and soon it came back to me.

Neon stickers with our names on them, stretchy pants, Flashdance, Rubic’s cube, leg warmers and the music… Kiss, MJ, Pat Benatar,Abba and wow so much more.

Then…I went shopping (yes, I like to shop, okay, back on track here) and I looked around and saw, Neon shirts, neon shoes, 80′s band T-shirts and I had to laugh…

History DOES repeat itself!

So Friday I joined an amazing group of people as they celebrated the 80′s. It was a blast! The band was also amazing “That 80′s Band” Seriously a great band.

My photo buddy James from JLSstudios came up to help me shoot this event, and we had a good time. James is an amazing portrait shooter and we did a lot of candids that night as well as dance shots and just “fun” shots.

Thank James for helping me out. I appreciate you driving up here to assist me and we really did Crush it!

I’ll have a video up soon on my FaceBook so catch that and see you next time around the blog!

Bridal Show 2.0

Tuesday, March 10th, 2009

On Sunday I had the opportunity to head to St. Peters and participate in the 2009 Bridal Bliss Bridal Expo.

Raquel came in from Ohio and we had a really wonderful time in a new market for us and met a lot of really nice people.

We were located between a Golf Course and a Travel Agent! The smell of the food was amazing and then the people… a non-stop flow of brides, grooms, friends and family! We had some wonderful conversations. We met a family whose brother is getting married, for the first time, he’s 53. We met another woman who between her and her future husband they combined 82 years of marriage, both widowed and going to walk down that aisle one more time, together. And our Texas Groom who wants his engagement pictures outside Busch Stadium in matching Cubs shirts. Yikes!

We met an amazing group of people who shared one thing on that one dayThey were going to marry the love of their lives and they were looking for people to share in that day with them.

I love the Bridal Shows that I am able to talk with the people. I loved listening to your life stories and getting to know you all.

It was great to meet you all. I hope you all enjoyed the show as much as we enjoyed doing it.

To all my new vendor friends, it was nice to meet you, yes even you pole fitness lady! Yes, she was there, with her pole and no I did get on it. But it’s a new big thing in the realm of fitness and fitness parties.

From the smell of the meatballs, that drove Raquel crazy (I ate one and they were GOOD!), to the health and fitness, all around great show.

Thank you St. Peters. See you next year!
