Real Weddings- Jessica and Travis

February 15, 2008 | editorial team

Besides being absolutely stunning, today’s Real Wedding of Jessica and Travis warms my heart straight through! It was a day filled with joy, radiance and true celebration, because it was a day a long time coming! Jessica and Travis met at church camp when they were just 15, but sadly lost contact when Jessica moved away immediately afterwards.Years later something huge happened for Travis that would change both of their lives forever. He survived a near fatal illness that his doctors thought he had no hope of recovering from, and had an epiphany about the way he would live his life from that moment on. He was determined to reconnect with his church and all the friends and family he loved, and of course, Jessica was still in his heart and at the top of his list. After all those years, his e-mail found its way to her, and the rest is history!

They dated for three years and were engaged for one, so by the time their wedding day finally arrived they just wanted to celebrate! The focus of the day was on the reception and ensuring that their friends and family had the best time possible. They chose a bright and vibrant wedding color palette of periwinkle and orange with red, yellow and black accents to add to the festive feel of the Woodmark Hotel’s waterfront location. It was a long day of laughter, dancing and so much fun it seemed it was over in a flash. Looking back, Jessica is thrilled they decided to hire videographers Bogle Productions and photographers One Thousand Words Photography so they can forever relive all those moments that flew by so quickly. Congratulations Jessica and Travis! Thanks for sharing your beautiful wedding day with us!

CameraRenter.com- Digital Camera Rental and Photo Sharing for your Wedding

February 11, 2008 | editorial team

Being a photographer, I’m all about taking lots and lots of photos, anywhere and everywhere! For weddings and parties I love the concept of adding to the photographic fun with disposable cameras set out for your guests, but unfortunately, the reality of what happens next isn’t all that great. Paying to get lots and lots of prints made, throwing out all those camera bodies and non album-worthy photos, trying to figure out how to share the pictures with your guests… not so fun and not so eco-friendly. Fortunately, with all the new digital options out there, there is an easier way!

I recently met the owner of a business called CameraRenter.com that offers a simple way to supply digital cameras to your guests and share the images afterwards on a personalized photo sharing website. You place your order on-line according to the number of guests at your event, and the rental digital cameras arrive in the mail ready to be used for photos and video throughout your big day. When you’re done, just send them back with their prepaid return postage and within a week you’ll have a website up that you and all of your guests can visit. You can download images, order prints and DVDs, and guests can even upload images from their own cameras to share with everyone else. Cool! Camera Renter reuses their cameras, shipping materials and batteries, and you print only the photos you love the most, so it’s a great green wedding favor possibility.

Check them out for yourselves, and be sure to use one of our special Junebug discount codes for 10% off their all inclusive packages (thanks Camera Renter!)
