Late last month, our team spent the day with blushing brides-to-be at the “Ever After Bridal Extravaganza”. The venue, Executive Caterers of Landerhaven was filled with beautiful gowns, dashing floral arrangements, and of course delicious wedding eats. All of Greater Cleveland’s finest wedding vendors were there, showcasing their specialties, and hoping to catch the eyes of the brides.

The Kim Ponsky Photography Team had the same intentions. We wanted to WOW every guest that stopped by our booth. During the weeks leading up to Ever After we prepared, gathered, printed, ordered, organized, and purchased any and everything that would make our presence strong and our experience tangible. We took the concept of a “booth” and turned it into a first class wedding photography lounge.

Our 10’x10’ space overflowed with bridal decadence. An overstuffed white linen sofa with silken turquoise pillows greeted our guests and enticed them to sit and peruse our wedding albums. Freshly brewed chocolaty mochas and comforting chai teas were served to help our decision-laden couples unwind. Classic white hydrangeas and gleefully green roses garnished our tables and filled the air with irresistible aromas. Oversized, dramatically positioned custom photographs surrounded the space, creating a visual masterpiece. It was the perfect calm within the tulle storm.

In addition to indulging the senses, we offered our savvy couples show-stopping promotions. The event was a huge success and the crowd was simply fabulous. Since the event we have had several inquiries. Unfortunately, many of the weddings are on the same days, and we operate on a first-come, first-served basis. To save your date, give us a call and get penciled in.

Presentation is so important in making the art we create even more appealing.  For prints, we use only the top quality products and manufacturers in the industry.  Every image that makes it into a client’s hands is retouched and finished to make it really stand out.  And, with our new proofing method, your enjoyment can begin even earlier!

Here’s an example of our new and improved wedding album proof!

Many of you may know that I teach at Hathaway Brown School… Photo, of course!

Well, yesterday my two lives crossed paths when one of my Advanced Photo students came into the studio for her senior pictures!  It was so fun getting to photograph her– not only because she’s gorgeous, but because over the past year and a half I’ve gotten to know her, and was able to use this to increase her comfort level, which led to even better photos!  Plus, if she didn’t listen to my posing suggestions, I could threaten her with an F!  Oh, I’m just kidding!!

Here’s one of my favorites from her photo shoot!
