Film vs. Digital Photography

Eric and Deanna, the husband and wife team of Deanna Kaye Photography, have recently added the art of using film back into their story-telling photography. As the photographic industry has almost completely moved away from using film, there is a vintage beauty it offers that differentiates it from digital. In Erin and Brian's Cincinnati engagement session this fall, Eric took along his beloved film camera with a few rolls to play with while Deanna continued to photograph digitally. Below are a few examples of the different look offered with each format. 

As you are searching for the perfect photographers to tell the story of your wedding day, be sure to call Deanna Kaye Photography! And if this mixture of vintage-style film photographs with the crisp, clean digital images appeals to you, tell Eric and Deanna that you just have to have it!! It will most assuredly enhance the truly unique collections of photographs of your day you are looking for!

Be sure to watch Deanna and Eric's video on Something Blue Collective where they explain the benefits to hiring a husband and wife team to photograph your wedding.

David Blair Photography's Featured Wedding

Louisville Wedding Photographer David Blair, who regularly has his work featured in bridal magazines, just made the cover of Sophisticated Living Weddings. The magazine is also featuring the wedding which took place at the famous Seelbach Hotel in downtown Louisville. Mike and Becky were a complete joy for David to capture. When Becky exclaimed, “I’m dressed so fancy, it’s like I’m getting married or something today!” everyone laughed, but really everyone was all admiring how gorgeous she looked in that wedding dress. Since they invited friends and family from the East Coast, it made sense to hold the wedding at a hotel to accommodate the out-of-towners and the Seelbach's elegance and history made it a perfect fit.

 

These guys sure brought some shame to the “usual” dancers in the middle of a circle. Here are some other images from the wedding that did not make it into the magazine.

Becky and her family are Jewish, but Mike and his family are Methodist so their ceremony consisted of traditions from both a Christian and Jewish wedding, as you may have noticed a Rabbi and a Minister. Following Jewish tradition, the couple was wed under a canopy called a Chuppah. Theirs was made from fabric from Becky’s grandmother’s wedding dress. And the table holding the wine for the ceremony was clothed in handkerchiefs from Michael’s great-grandmother.

After the ceremony, they held an open bar cocktail hour in the foyer where they spent much of their time greeting guests while elaborate appetizers were served. This was also a great time for guests to mingle because so often in a arranged seating reception not everyone gets to say hello.

After a fantastic dinner The Kadillacs, the 11-member band, took the stage and was quite entertaining throughout the rest of the night. The energy from a live band really keeps the dance floor full.

The day went off beautifully without a hitch, even including the riding on chairs! You can see more of David Blair's photos from Mike and Becky’s Engagement Session Here.

Meet Me At The Altar Wedding Show

omething Blue Collective was in attendance for the Meet Me At The Altar Wedding Show at the Crowne Plaza Hotel this Sunday along with a few SBC vendors.  The show was a great success and brides were excited to learn about the SBC website as a great new resource. 

Our friends with Midnight Magic DJs helped MC the event and the very messy cake dive.  Congratulations to all the winners!! 

 

Sharon Bell and her daughter displayed some of the many fabulous featured weddings that Sharon's company, Memorable Celebrations, helped plan. Memorable Celebrations not only provides wedding coordinating and event planning but also disc jockey services.

Alex and Paul with Fleur de Lis Events and Design set up a beautiful booth with a huge vase of red roses, sparkling crystals that hung from silver branches, and a few sample centerpieces and bouquets.  Alex and Paul always tend to have the busiest booth with all of the wonderful displays they create.  Visit their website to see why they were listed on Grace Ormonde's Wedding Style Platinum List in 2009.

Featured Wedding from ICVideo and Deanna Kaye Photography

ICVideo had the pleasure of teaming up with Deanna Kaye Photography to cover Shellie and Adam's

wedding at the Water Tower.  Two great SBC vendors give you an example of how photography and videography work so well together to capture all of the excitement of your wedding for you to treasure.

A video has the ability to tie together so many different facets of the day with the simplest elements.  The guitar was used during the ceremony (included in it's entirety on the completed DVD) and added so much to the feeling of the day.

We also get to show the ladies how hard the guys work in trying to prepare.  Hours of football.  I've heard the term "not fair" more than once, but the guys don't seem to mind at all.

 

   

 

Featured Wedding from Studio e

Michelle and Shane from Studio e Photography submitted a great wedding to be featured.  Their video will be posted this week, but in the meantime please enjoy these fabulous pictures.

Lindsey and John were married  on June 5^th  at the Farnsley-Moremen landing in Louisville. It was a perfect day for an outdoor ceremony and reception!

  Lindsey looked radiant in her Allure Couture beaded lace gown and veil edged with beaded lace.

 

The wedding couple shared a special moment together before the wedding. Taking the photos before the ceremony allowed the couple to enjoy more time together on their wedding day.

Lindsey wiped a tear after she walked down the aisle on the arm of her father in his full “dress blues”.

The ceremony took place at sunset on the great lawn.

It was great to work with other excellent vendors on this wedding. Carol Grisanti did a wonderful job with the planning.  As always, Kenny Sauter with Masters of Music helped keep the reception fun and exciting.

  

Sparklers are a fun way to do a sendoff and a great photo opp!
