Savvy Steals Giveaway: A New Way to Think about Wedding Photographs
This week’s Savvy Steal is a little bit different. If you’re a regular reader of Savvy Scoop you know that we LOVE photos, the more the better. So, when Camera Renter contacted us about their new Green Wedding Package as a way not to replace a professional photographer, but to get even more high quality photos out of your wedding, we were intrigued. Here’s how it works: You make a reservation, and a week before your wedding they send you 10 digital cameras. You give those...
Question of the Week: Which Celebrity Engagement Are You Following?
One of the great things about this job is that it gives me an excuse to keep up on celebrities, after all, you never know who might be getting married! Do you have a celebrity engagement you've been following? Are you waiting for Prince William to pop the question to Kate? Are you curious to see which dress Katy Perry is going to choose? Or do you get a little sick of hearing all about someone else's wedding? If there isn't a real wedding story that you're following, what about one...
Featured Bridal Shoot: Vintage Glamour!

Bubbly Bride: Off-Registry Gifts
About Bubbly Bride When looking at a registry online, it is filled with housewares and bedding, much needed items to start a new home but not necessarily gifts from the heart. If you are a close friend or family member of the couple getting married, and you have spent the last few years celebrating milestones and supporting them through tough times... buying a china set might seem a bit dull in comparison. You wish them the best with everything that comes their way, and a blender...
Featured Wedding: Childhood Sweethearts
Special Feature by Amanda McMahon of Amanda McMahon Photography Melissa and Kevin met when they were seven years old. The adorable couple waited a few years to start dating, until their freshman year of college. These two little lovebirds are full of smiles and laughs and their families were the same way. Their bridal party was a blast too…and despite the rain we were able to get outside for some super sweet shots! The ceremony was held at Most Holy Rosary Church in Syracuse, NY...
Featured Wedding: Touches of Something Blue
Special Feature by Danielle McAdams of Picture You Studios I have been lucky with all my couples... they are all really nice and very fun to work with, but I can honestly say this Wedding was the most fun!
