Invitation Designers, Photographers + Videographers from Weddings, The Bridal Show
Thursday, August 19, 2010
We are barely halfway through our list of great Nashville wedding vendors from the big bridal show. There's much more to come and today, we'll highlight more invitations, a few videographers and photographers.
WEDDING INVITATIONS
Customization was the theme with invitation design companies and it's so exciting to see how creative couples are getting, working with designers to come up with something that's uniquely theirs.
Designs In Paper - designsinpaper.com

The birds were part of one couple's wedding theme. DnP created several elements for this couple's wedding - from invites to table numbers.
It's always a pleasure to see Designs In Paper. They are so passionate about what they do! They had so many really cool save the dates and invitations and paper goods for their brides on display and it was hard to pick the ones we loved because, well, we loved almost all of them.

We featured Courtney + David's Nashville wedding recently. This is their rehearsal dinner invitation, which had a BBQ theme. Don't you like the choice of typeface used for this bbq themed invitation? Just perfect.

My favorite is the Nashville/St. Louis save the date, "A Tale of Two Cities" announcement above right.
Izzy and the Bean - IzzyandtheBean.com
What a cute name for a company! I really like stationery that uses nature-inspired line art. It's really simple, yet creates a great depth to the design.

PHOTOGRAPHY
Evin Photography - EvinPhotography.com
Evin of Evin Photography has a really great photography style, capturing the more vibrant side to a bride and her groom. She's got a great demeanor, and is probably really chill and great to work with. It was so much fun seeing her at the show and seeing a special friend of ABG's there helping Evin out as well!



The Budget Savvy Bride and Evin!
Shanna Mahoney Photography - ShannaMahoneyPhotography.com
Shanna had just returned from a wedding at some exotic beach resort complete with white sands and azure waters where she photographed a wedding. It says a lot when a couple is willing to have their photographer fly out to their destination and clearly, Shanna does work is worth that investment.


VIDEOGRAPHY
It's nice to see that videography is a popular option with couples. Everything is now produced in a way that you want to watch your video over and over. Videography companies are getting really tech savvy and videos can be accessed online so sharing it with your friends and family is just a simple click of a mouse!
Baughman Media Works - bmediaworks.com
Decked out in their signature red, Baughman Media Works' booth had screen after screen of wedding footage that made me all misty-eyed just watching. They manage to capture the most intimate moments, and get the coolest shots of a wedding day!

First Dance Pictures - FirstDancePictures.com
This was the first time I'd seen First Dance Pictures and when I checked out their videos on their website I really enjoyed what I saw.

Dynamic Video - dynamicvideoweddings.com
ALWAYS a pleasure to see the lovely Jennifer Fritz of Dynamic Video. They had a camera strategically placed at their booth that followed people who stopped or passed by. Sneaky!

AndyCam Weddings - AndyCamWedding.com
We can't forget AndyCam who does both videography and photography for weddings. We really are surrounded by talented vendors and brides are lucky enough to be able to take their pick!

Bridal shows really are great resources for brides. It can get overwhelming but it's really worth the research especially if you're a very hands-on bride. Hopefully our recaps will refresh your memory of the vendors you met that day and you get to work with the ones you like soon!
