Big things are happening at heatherahrens.com!

The big new is: I only have three wedding spots left at the current pricing!

Wedding prices will raise once those three spots have been filled. All of you who are waiting to book me, now is the time. Feel free to call me at 407.493.8211 to set up an appointment.

A brand new website is in the works along with a new proofing system! The launch of the new site will take place in about three weeks but knowing me, I can't wait that long so check back soon. This brand new proofing system is awesome! You will be able to order more products directly throught the site and all the backend work will be taken care of by myself and my lovely studio manager Becka. I also have a new logo in the works that is being designed by the awesome Kjell Reigstad!

Also, feel free to leave comments on this site... I know its a new blog and you aren't used to the interface yet... but I still want comments!

This weekend was one busy weekend! I was the second photographer for Abby Liga of Liga Photography on Friday then went and shot another one with Mary Beth Tyson on Saturday.

Paula and John had their beautiful reception at the Dr. Phillips House at Courtyard at Lake Lucerne. This is the same place Dave and I had our reception a little over a year ago! It was so great being on the other side of the camera this time.

I just got these awesome new save the date cards from Swiss Miss. Each card will be $3 with a minumim purchase of 15 cards. You can use your product credit towards the purchase of these lovely cards with one of your engagement photos. Contact me to order!

My UPS guy, Arvin has been very busy delivering goodies to my doorstep. This week my new ablum samples came in! I ordered a new Willowbook album sample with a very cool metal cover. I also ordered a new Coffee Table Book. If you would like to see any of these albums in person feel free to set up an appointment by emailing me at: heather@heatherahrens.com or give me a call at 407.493.8211.

A new lens also arrived for me today!

COFFEE TABLE BOOK : $50 per page

WILLOWBOOK ALBUM : $100 per page

All albums have a minimum of 20 pages.

The Coffee Table Book comes with a printed cover and a book jacket to keep it safe.

The Willowbook has thicker pages than the Coffee Table Book and a leather or Metal Cover. This cover is metal with red leather binding.

This lens is awesome. It is the 70-200mm F4L IS Lens. The IS stands for image stablilization with makes shooting in low light a whole lot easier. I decided to go with the F4L lens instead of the F2.8L lens because of the weight. This lens is so light!

I had a great time last week with Christina and Daniel. I met Christina the summer before my freshman year in high school. It's scary to think we are all grown up now and have real jobs. I'm looking forward to their wedding here in Orlando in October. Take a look at the some photos we took in Tallahasse and also check out their slideshow below:

Slideshow!

A couple of weeks ago I had the pleasure to shoot with Abby of Liga Photography. It was the first time I was a 2nd photographer for her and it was awesome. We make a great team! I will be working with her a couple of more times over the next few months. Here are some photos I was able to capture as a 2nd photographer for her:

This wedding was the most well thought out wedding I have ever been to. The Bride and Groom are starting their own wedding invitation company and went all out on the printed details for their wedding. I loved how they put thought into every last detail including a cappachino bar for the guests!

There is this really awesome website that came out a couple of weeks ago that clears up some of the misconceptions about wedding photography. Check it out at: www.wedfog.com

This site answers many questions that you might have when booking a wedding photographer. It also has sample contracts, pricelists, and other FAQ's. This is a great site!
