"WILL YOU?.... YES!..... I WILL!!"
Can you believe it? You are getting married! This is serious business. It isn't a white dish towel on your head as a veil and your mother's oversized heels. This is it! Now is the time to save some money in your budget for framing those very special, once in a lifetime memories. This is a very exciting time. Who are you going to invite? What are you going to serve? What kind of flowers? And the dress! Then then the shoes and hair! Everything has to be perfect!

REMEMBER THE LITTLE THINGS YOU MISSED
Most weddings take so much planning that when it arrives, it is a whirlwind of nervous excitement. Most couples try to savour every detail but often forget the little details of the day. That is why you hire a photographer. A great photographer is there to capture the moments you missed and the memories you never want to forget. And when the guests are gone, the food has been eaten, the first dance danced and your perfect wedding dress put in storage, your photos are the best memories of your day.

AFTER THE HONEYMOON...
ALREADY MARRIED?
You did it. You said the words. "I promise to love you forever." You married your best friend and you couldn't be happier! It was the most perfect day of your whole life. But sadly, the first dance has been waltzed....

MEMORIES
Now all is left is your photographic memories and are often the only visual memory you have of that special day.
Why would you put them in a manila envelope or worse, stick them in a cheap plastic frame without protection of an acid free mat or glass?
These are memories that you want to last a lifetime.

ANNIVERSARY MEMORIES
Or, have you been married so long, you stopped counting years and now only count the decades?

Why not get your anniversary pictures framed?
GUESTBOOK MAT
The new trend is to have a guestbook mat, one where you can see all your best wishes, instead of book put away and nevr seen again. The first step to getting a great guestbook mat is to visit me, so we can pick out the frame, colours and size. I can custom design a couples' guestbook mat to any size, large or small. The first step is to cut the mat openings and add either an engagement or informal photos for display purposes at the wedding reception. After the mat is signed by the guests, the married couple returns the mat to me, where I replace the informal photos with their wedding photos. It is then assembled, framed and ready to hang on the wall to remind you of all the friends and family that gave you best wishes for your future.
WEDDING IDEAS
Frame your invitation alone or in a collage with other wedding day items.
Collage displays are a great way to display multiple wedding pictures in a single frame. ie: professional formal wedding portraits, candid pictures of you laughing with your new spouse or a silly picture from a guest with disposable camera. Collages can also be used to display your written vows, special poems or meaningful notes. Or use your collage mat as a guest book. Don't forget the option of a shadow box to house all those memories that are three dimensional. Too often, wedding items become damaged in old shoe boxes and are never seen let alone appreciated.
Wedding Keepsake ideas:
*Documents- florist bill or jewellers receipt. Even limo, tux, and catering invoices can be amusing years later.
*Cork and Champagne Labels.
*The garter with accompanying picture.
*Marriage registration. Obtain a second copy, of course.
*Menu Cards. How many couples can remember what they served at their reception.
*Speeches & Toasts. Obtain copies from the best man, maid of honour or master of ceremonies. Even a sentimental speech from dear old papa.
*Flowers. Press, dry and preserve your flowers in a shadow box frame.
*Don't forget the photographs you snapped when you didn't have a professional there. The pictures from the shopping trips, pre-wedding parties, beauty salon. Create a picture diary of the months of planning.
