Wedding Day Photographer Planning

June 26, 2009  //  Posted by: admin  //  Category: cheap plus size clothing

When most couples plan their wedding day they take a lot of things into consideration. They coordinate the date according to vacation times from work.  Or they coordinate the day on what is best maybe for family to make it into town.  Or they plan it based upon maybe available venues, like the church or the restaurant.

But one of the biggest things they fail to plan for on the wedding day is the photographer. Don’t think this is something small.  And I am not just saying it because I am a wedding photographer

No planning the wedding day with the wedding photographer in mind could mean all the difference in the world. Especially when you realize that the photos are what are going to last a lifetime.

What are some of the factors when you start planning with the photographer in mind.  The time and the date.

Let’s start with the time.  How many people do you think would want their photographer to rush taking the photos?  I am pretty sure most people will not raise their hand to that. 

Well without even thinking about your photographer, a lot of times couples will do just that. The couple or family basically rush the photographer to try and take all the pictures. 

How so you say? Well let’s say, the couple makes the ceremony between 1-2 pm.  With the reception starting at 2:30. How many shots can a photographer make when he only has a half hour to work with?  Not many.

Worse thing to consider, what if he does manage to take all the photos?  Do you think they will be of the best quality when the shots are rushed?  Of course not.

So plan the wedding and reception with enough time in between to take the photos.

Second thing to consider when planning with the photographer in mind is your photographer’s availability.

Most probably don’t realize this, but most good photographers will be booked months in advance. Let’s say you are dealing with a large photography company, they probably have a few photographers.

Well planning your wedding without considering your photographer’s availability could turn into a nightmare.  Because if you book that special day and don’t make sure that the actual photographer will be available, when your wedding day comes you might be shocked to find someone totally different.

This can happen when dealing with a large photographer company.  You might not realize they have plenty of photographers on staff, and if the photographer you fell in love with is booked, unless you specifically ask, the company might not tell you. When the wedding day comes, a second rate photographer or worse yet, they might outsource the work and somebody else will show up.

So be prepared and don’t let this happen. Planning that special wedding day can be truly wonderful.  Make sure you plan it also with your wedding photographer in mind.

Junonia Plus Size Women’s Clothing Store an Entrepreneurial Success Story

June 26, 2009  //  Posted by: admin  //  Category: cheap plus size clothing

Junonia Plus Size Women’s Clothing, founded in 1995, has a basic mission of inspiring and motivating active women to live life to the fullest extent, its Web site says. “We are not just selling clothing, but also a way to feel good about yourself,” Anne Kelly, Junonia founder, is quoted on the company Web site as saying. “Customers often tell us that finally finding a source for gym clothes or swimwear has made it possible for them to become active and really enjoy it for the first time in ages. We certainly strive for financial success, but comments like that are worth more than any dollar amount.”

Kelly’s observation that plus-size women could not find attractive and well-made athletic clothing to meet their needs is the basis of the founding of the company. “I was seeing a lot of women like me at the YMCA,” Kelly was quoted on the Web site, “and I knew I was having a terrible time finding things.”

With an eye toward current and classic trends in activewear, the majority of Junonia plus size women’s clothing apparel is designed in-house by its merchandising team. The company Web site claims product innovation, a great fit, consistent quality and attention to our customers’ needs have made Junonia plus size women’s clothing a leader in the marketplace and a go-to source for women looking for comfortable, long-lasting clothing that inspires them with a sense of confidence.

In March 1995 from a one-room office in downtown Saint Paul, Minn., Junonia issued its first eight-page catalog. The Junonia Web site claims that since then, the company — which has moved to nearby Eagan, Minnesota — has grown to become the top exclusive retailer of women’s plus-size activewear in the country. The company now mails more than five million catalogs a year, with thousands of customers visiting the Junonia Web site or calling the 24-hour hotline each day. 2008 saw Junonia taking its first steps into storefront retail, with the opening of a new Juno’s Closet outlet store in South Minneapolis.
