Judd Sather Photography Blog

Mike and Chris are getting married in September and brought their family and bulldog Zoey over for their engagement shoot. I love this family shot we took – hope nobody reading has Foot Phobia!

This long winter has allowed me to be a bit more creative with indoor engagement sessions; and it’s always great when the couple is game to do some fun shots. Doug and Val even brought their own Super friends t-shirts – good work! They’re getting married in December as well – I am sure getting some good mileage out of those Santa hats.

Studio J is at about 90% of our wedding capacity for 2008 so we added a third photo crew and an additional editor for this summer so we still have a few dates left. Email me to check availability – thanks! -Judd

I had the idea to create engagement albums with the same first-class quality as our Italian wedding storybook albums, and guests can write messages to couples on the pages. They are very popular this year, and here are some samples:
Ashley and Derek, Amanda and Andy, and one I made last year: Dusty and Jessie. Chances are way better you would open one of these again instead of the standard “write on the lines” book! Plus, it gives us a chance to work through the revision process with clients on a smaller album = win-win.

Any time you have a 6’5″ ultimate fighter and accompanying damsel you have to do some creative engagement shots like this right? Jesse and Chelsey are getting married December 20, 2008 so that explains the Santa hats and antlers on Mongo (the dog) for their save-the-date magnets. I thought I’d give them some other options though… doesn’t Chelsey look like Mohammad Ali? 🙂 -Judd

We are already about 80% full for 2008 and are starting to book for 2009 so e-mail me if you want to check availability – we have a few dates still open!

Thought I’d put a quick collage together of our primary artists; especially since they will be shooting without me more in 2008. Our wedding dates are about 70% full right now so e-mail Judd if you want to check availability for your wedding day. You will also receive a special bonus of up to $300 if you book after meeting with us to customize your wedding collection!

For all you brides ready for information overload, head to the MLPS convention center tomorrow! 11-5pm are the hours. I think we’re in booth 310 – make a U-turn right when you walk in the door and we’re at the end of that row. I’ll be handing out $500 coupons off our most popular wedding collections: Diamond/12 hour and Platinum/9 hour. If you can’t make it, I’ll honor $250 off those two packages if you mention this blog entry; coupon expires Valentines Day! If you want to bring your future husband, there is a “Club Groom” with a bar and big screen TVs with the playoff football games on – I might be there :). Below is our 2008 Demo video plus a couple of our signature digital Storybook Italian coffee table albums to look at if you’re new to the blog. Maybe we’ll see you at the fair! -Judd
