Fun times!

It’s always great to revisit old friends. Mike and I worked in the lab for a long time, getting through a lot of challenging projects. We’ve gone through a lot of changes since our last assay, so it was great to catch up!

Fun times celebrating Mike's 30th birthday
Fun times celebrating a birthday in Gaithersburg, Maryland

On this occasion, Mike invited us out to celebrate his birthday. We previously worked together in a laboratory. Likewise we had a lot of fun times while working. Although we both studied in the sciences, we have departed from that line of work. From what I can see, Mike is doing very well!

At the time we worked in the lab, I thought I would work there for my entire career. However, you grow and progress in an organization. Sometimes when promoted, your new position is not a great fit. This was the case for me. I was better in a lower position, but as never comfortable as a manager. That being the case, I struck out on my own with my creative endeavor. My mom says that the universe will find a way to put you where you need to be. As far as I can see, this is the truth so far!

KISS Wedding books

Digital wedding albums is rising in popularity these days. The “magazine” style album is a more traditional look compared to the matted albums from Seldex. In searching the internet for these contemporary digital albums, it becomes dizzying with the amount of options. Additionally there are many styles that can be used to customize you wedding album. After much searching and viewing other studio samples, I am going with the KISS Wedding books. With the KISS Wedding books, they are making it as simple as it can be. Moreover, the quality of the books is outstanding. The lab for printing and assembling is in the US making the communication and shipping times much faster than with other album makers.

Cover for KISS Wedding books

The outside covering for transporting and storing the book is not my style. However, it is very sturdy and made of a canvas material. It is soft enough not to scratch the cover of the book.

The outside leather cover is available in 7 different colors.

For any panoramic spreads, there is no space, but a tiny fold down the middle of the book. It easily lays flat on a table for viewing.

As a photographer the KISS customer service was excellent – they give you quick feedback on the status of your order – checking the files prior to printing to ensure the best output. The ordering, processing, and shipment of the book was very easy which should translate to quicker production and final shipment to the newly-married couple.

Thank you!

Thank you to all of the brides-to-be and their family and friends that stopped by the TimeLine Media booth at the Dulles Expo Center this past Sunday. We were a part of the Washington Bridal Showcase. There was an amazing amount of people that attended this event especially considering it was Superbowl Sunday! If you are at all planning a wedding in the D.C. area, this is where you need to go. You will get the most complete participation of wedding vendors in the area. In attendance were photographers to florists, reception sites, review sites, transportation, cakeries, etc.

I also have to thank our neighboring booths: weddzilla.com and the Thomas Birkby House. We had a lot of traffic come by, and we got a chance to give our information to a lot of brides that were attracted to their displays as well as ours! Accordingly, I felt like my placement was in the middle of other outstanding professionals which made me look better!

If you did get to see us at the show, please drop us a line – we’d love to know what you thought of our presentation. We will definitely be back to showcase our work at a future show.

Thank you to everyone that stopped by the TimeLine Media wedding photography booth last weekend
