Wedding Gown Sessions...

I loved my wedding and, of course, my wedding gown.  What a beautiful dress and we, usually, only wear it one time.  I do know of some who have worn theirs more, like on their anniversaries and now with the fun "trash the dress" sessions.

While files were uploading, I bribed my girls, now eight and ten, to play dress up for me.  With two strong clamps from my studio, I was able to get the dress not to fall off my little angels.

Like most things, they complained about doing this, but after it was over...they had fun.  It's been twelve years since I wore this...probably much more than that in the future when my girls might want to use pieces of it for their own wedding gowns.

New England Beauties

Look at these beautiful women I was so lucky to work with last week on Cape Cod.  I continue to invest in my Photography to work with the industry's top Photographers...to help me capture your beauty even better.  I was able to learn new techniques and practice them all of last week...I also earned another two credits towards my Master's Degree!
I can't wait to use what I have learned with my Brides, bridal parties and High School Seniors!

Why I love Weddings...

My now husband and I got engaged shortly after we moved across the country to Seattle, Washington.  I was ready...I was 31 and so excited.  I always knew I would get married one day.  There was no rush.  I had lots of fun in my 20's...I highly recommend that!  Travel, live with girlfriends, by a new car of your very own, be successful in your career, etc.

I flourished in my planning three thousand miles away...I traveled back to Massachusetts every other month and made the plans happen.  Everything went smoothly, for the most part, for our planning of our big day.  I even connected online to other brides planning weddings in our month (and still keep in touch with some of them...they are awesome!)

As I work in the Wedding Arena in New England, I get giddy with excitement all over again.  Talking to brides and their fiance's about their plans really gets me so excited.  I am thrilled to be a part of the wedding field, helping brides and grooms with capturing the emotion of their day...creating the perfect package for them and their desires and needs.

I thought it was awesome to see a photograph I had staged is still on our wedding photographer's page almost twelve years later.  I enjoyed our wedding photographer, but I wish I had shopped around a little to find someone we connected with personally.  Our images are awesome and we love our wedding album.

I have decided only to do one wedding per month.  I want to give that wedding my all...I don't want them to have to wait too long for their images and products like albums and wall art.  Also, my family is a priority too.  :)

Contact me asap for a consultation for your wedding photography!  I will buy the coffee/tea!

Bridal Fair Time!

Gearing up to do my first ever Bridal Fair tomorrow! So much preparation...and I committed just a couple weeks ago.

I am so excited to meet engaged ladies and chat with them about their plans for their wedding day.  It was a blast when I was planning mine and so thrilled to be a part of others' excitement as well.

I will have a super fabulous offer for brides and grooms to be at my booth tomorrow at the Radisson in Manchester, NH, you don't want to miss it!  Also, if you need a ticket, I have a few passes.  Just email me at Debbie@debbieellisphotos.com and I will give you a couple.  Lots of other fabulous vendors and giveaways as well!  Be sure to be there, it's 11-3, right before the Patriot's game...perfect timing.  :)

Can't wait to meet you!  Be sure to share this with all the engaged couples you know in New England!

Lindsie and Paul are Married!

A beautiful sunny July day in Meredith, New Hampshire, right next to Lake Winniepesaukee, a sweet couple said "I do".  I was lucky to be able to help a friend in capturing all the magic of the day.
