We get asked all the time if we will travel to this place or that place. Obviously, the majority of our weddings are in South Carolina. Although we do travel to Western North Carolina and Georgia for weddings as well.

Some places we cover, but are not limited too are Anderson, Clemson, Pendleton, Easley, Greenville, Simpsonville, Spartanburg, Travelers Rest, Duncan, Greer, Boiling Springs, Asheville, Hendersonville, Flat Rock, Charlotte, Clinton, Newberry, Hilton Head, Myrtle Beach, Charleston, Mount Pleasant, Lexington, Savannah, Fripp Island. This of course doesn’t name all of the local cities that we cover, but gives a pretty general list. We pretty much cover all of Upstate SC, Western NC, the Midlands, and everywhere in the Low Country.

We are willing to photograph in other places around to US as well. Call or email us to get personalized quote for travel.

Valentines Day family portrait special

admin — Tue, 02 Feb 2010 20:34:09 +0000

It’s that time of year again! Time to think about what we will be getting your significant other for Valentines Day. Why not a family portrait session, or couples session?

This is the perfect time to get those family portraits that you’ve been meaning to do! Also, why should engagement style photo sessions just be reserved for couples that aren’t married yet? Why not show everyone how much in love you are with your spouse by showing off awesome images of you together?

Starting today through February 28th all portrait sessions are free if you pre-purchase just $300.00 worth of prints. Call our office at 1.888.MTN.WEDD or email us at jason@bluemtnphoto.com to book your session today! We do have a limited number of slots available, so call and schedule your appointment as soon as you can!

Come visit us at the Greenwood Bridal Expo

admin — Mon, 25 Jan 2010 21:13:14 +0000

This Thursday, January 28th we will be exhibiting at the bridal expo from 3PM-8PM at Piedmont Technical College in Greenwood, SC. We haven’t exhibited in a bridal show in 4 years!

We hope that if you are in the Greenwood area, you will come out to the show. If you come, stop by our booth, say hey, and enter a drawing for free engagement session.

We updated our e-store!

admin — Sat, 11 Jul 2009 18:44:14 +0000

Today we completed an upgrade to our e-store at www.bluemtnphoto.net. This upgrade makes the store a little more user-friendly and allows for more options. Now instead of having to click on every single image to be able to see it up close, you can now just hover the cursor over the bottom-left corner and it will enlarge it automatically without having to click on the image. This will save people time as they are browsing pictures. You can now also add pictures your favorites folder from the thumbnail image without having to click all the way into it.

There’s also various upgrades on our end too which I won’t bore you with, but they do allow us to better serve our clients. We are very excited about this new upgrade and we’re proud that it allows us to serve our clients even better.

5 Reasons to Hire a Wedding Coordinator

admin — Mon, 16 Feb 2009 11:14:08 +0000

I don’t claim to be an expert on anything, much less writing or wedding advice. However, we are very blessed to be a part of a couple dozen weddings every year, and we can definately share our experiences with you to help make your wedding planning and wedding day run as smooth as possible.

Last year I wrote an article that appeared in a couple of places about the benefits of hiring a wedding coordinator. I re-edited it some and decided to post it here on our blog.

5 Reasons to Hire a Wedding Coordinator

In the beginning stages of planning her wedding, most brides ask the question “do I really need a wedding coordinator?” Our answer is yes, you absolutely should. The question should really be “why wouldn’t I hire a wedding coordinator”.

On average a wedding takes 250 hours of planning time. It’s 2009! Who possibly has that much time to dedicate to planning a wedding! This is reason #1 to hire a wedding coordinator. You really do need a professional to help you sort through vendors, and plan your special day. Any professional wedding coordinator will have existing relationships with caterers, florists, DJs, photographers, videographers etc. They can help you sort through the madness of choosing wedding professionals.

Did you know that some wedding, and wedding reception sites actually require you to have a wedding coordinator? They have learned from years of experience that having a coordinator on board makes things flow much smoother! This is reason #2.

You’ve waited your whole life for this day. You deserve to kick back and relax, and you shouldn’t have to worry about sweating the small stuff. This is reason #3 to hire a coordinator. A good coordinator will have everything under control. They will organize the wedding day for you, so you don’t have to worry about a friend or relative having to do it, and they will tell you when you need to cut the cake and have the first dance. That way you are never wondering what you suppose to do, or where you’re suppose to be next.

How creative are you? How artistic are you? Do you know how to tie all of those cute little bows on all the chairs around the reception table? This is reason #4 to hire a coordinator. They know how to do these things. Even if you do know how, you’re gonna be a little too busy on your wedding day to worry about that. Hire a coordinator, and let them take care of these kind of details.

Most brides that hire a professional wedding coordinator, say that they were able to enjoy their wedding day more so, than if they would have tried to do everything themselves. This is reason #5. You get married one time. That’s it. You have one shot to get it right, one shot to enjoy your one time day. You deserve to leave it in the hands of a professional.

At this point you’re probably thinking, “OK, I know I should get a coordinator, but I’m not sure that I can afford one”. Most coordinators offer full wedding coordination, or just day of wedding coordination. It doesn’t always cost as much as you might think. If you decide that you can’t budget for the full planning package, at least hire a coordinator to help you, and be there for you on your wedding day. It can make a world of difference in how you remember, and how much you enjoy this once in a lifetime day.
