Yesterday I took part in my first ever wedding exhibition! I was a little bit nervous in the lead-up to the show, since I’d never even been to one as a visitor before, much less as a “wedding vendor” – I was pleased to find out it was actually fun! I got to say hi to a lot of local wedding industry folk I’ve been talking to on Facebook, as well as meet plenty of new people. I have to thank Willow Paper Works and Fedex for delivering my enormous prints with ridiculous speed and right on time, so that my booth could be tricked out; the sweet cashier at Michael’s who slipped me a 40%-off coupon when I spent a small fortune on frames and easels; my fellow vendors in Room 204 who provided cake, comedy, and camaraderie; Rob for inviting me; and of course, extra big thanks to everyone who dropped by to chat! Biggest thank you of all goes to AG, who never fails to go above and beyond when it counts.
Congratulations are also due to everyone who walked away with one of my crazy prizes: Quinn S., Sheila M., and Cassie K. all scored free portrait sessions! (First timers always over-achieve, eh?) Look forward to working with you soon!
Here are just a few photos of my booth:
and one from when I went visiting everyone else’s booths! Thanks Michelle & Stephen!
