Photography Studio for a Day

Some days are just great. Yesterday was awesome. After months of planning and thought, (thank you to Laura who did the lion's share of the work - best business partner and friend ever!) Neil from Front Room Photography spent the entire day at our store capturing fresh images for us of two incredibly lovely models, Erin and Laura, freshly styled by Rejuvenation Spa, and we couldn't be more excited! What a blessing to be surrounded by genuinely wonderful people.

My daughter Marlie spent the day with us and captured a few images from her perspective of the shoot and here are a few examples. You can see more in her album on our Facebook page. And while it's fun to share these, we can't wait to share our new photos from Neil so stay tuned for the Front Room magic that will soon be visually representing Premiere Couture everywhere!

Rejuvenation Spa photo shoot by Krakora Studios

Earlier this year we were pleased to be included yet again in Rejuvenation Spa's photo shoot to exhibit their styling talents and even more so this time because they asked our friends, Krakora Studios, to create the images. The Krakoras finally got a chance to put some of their favorite images up on their website and we think that they are fantastic! And Rejuvenation's styling is spot on - romantic, beautiful and with an understated natural appeal. Visit the Krakora's blog to see more images and a slideshow of more of their favorites.

You have to love how Lea-Ann Belter's "Mathia" photographs!

Another artistic success...

The evening is winding down (and I'm totally updating the blog to give my feet a break!) and I am pleased with its success. Laura is the lifeblood of each of our events as her skillful planning and organization ensures a well-put-together evening. Janet's dresses were gorgeous, of course, the models were stunning and Rejuvenation Spa captured the exact old Hollywood look we love. Donna Sager of Garden Laurels went well beyond expectation with exquisitely lush floral arrangements to which my photos will never do justice. Creative Confection's Alicia Russel wowed us again with yummy delicious cake and Flemings Steakhouse delivered on their promise of a magic evening out. David Flood's smooth guitar music set the perfect mood.Thank you to everyone that participated and made the evening one to remember!

The Art of Weddings

We vow to engage each of your senses in order to inspire you.

You are invited to attend our second annual celebration of the creativity and splendor of today's weddings. "The Art of Weddings" event is concurrent with MMoCA's Gallery Night.

Our casual evening affair, Friday, October 3, from 5pm until 8pm, will offer you the opportunity to meet two of the finest artists in their respective fields - Janet Nelson Kumar, bridal fashion designer, and Neil Kiekhofer, one of Front Room Photography's founders. (Due to a scheduling conflict, Neil will be unable to join us. You will be missed Neil!)

In addition to fine fashion and images, you will also be treated to the artistry of Rejuvenation Spa as they will complete the look of each of our live models with make-up and hair styles inspired by old Hollywood glamour. Speaking of live models, meet Erin Nycz, once our customer, now our friend and a favorite model who appears in many of our photos, including this one.

The mood of Premiere Couture will be enhanced and the models will be adorned with floral delights from Garden Laurels by Sager. But not just a feast for the eyes, the evening will also offer delicious cake from Creative Confections and hors d'oeuvres from Flemings Steakhouse to tantalize your taste buds and the smooth, enchanting sounds of musician David Flood, for the pleasure of your ears.

As if all of that were not enough, the event will also offer free gifts to the first 25 brides of 2009 and a chance for anyone who attends to win one of five $100 gift certificates!

So come this Friday evening to an event to remember, "The Art of Weddings."

"The Art of Weddings"

We are hosting a fantastic event this Friday evening during Gallery Night celebrating "The Art of Weddings" and we hope you'll join us. There will be live models - one of whom is our very own new employee Katey - in our windows instead of the usual mannequins. (We've always wanted to give that a try!) Rejuvenation Spa is going to have some creative fun with our models' hair and make-up - no ordinary up-dos on this night! Front Room Photography has provided some marvelous enlargements from our recent photo shoot that's featured all over our website - they truly live up to the promise of capturing "The Art of the Moment." One of our lovely 2006 brides, Jamae, will be showing off floral arrangements from the Flower Market and Fleming's Steakhouse will be providing delicious hors d'oeuvres. To cap the evening off, my nephew, David Flood, will create the perfect ambiance with his original guitar music which is perfect for wedding ceremonies. He just turned 18 but you'd never know it from the level of maturity and professionalism that he brings to his music. It's all together possible that I may be just a bit biased, but if you come and listen, I think you'll agree.

And if all of that wasn't enough reason to attend, the first 25 brides of 2008 that attend will receive a special gift and special offers and everyone who attends will be eligible to win a $500 gift certificate that can be used for anything from Premiere Couture!
