Brittany’s Bridal Session

The wedding has now past and I am to post these beautiful bridal pictures.  She had requested to the session at the Capital in Little Rock.  No problem, right?  Well, that is what I thought but each time I called up there I would get different responses.  ”We don’t allow photography on Saturdays”, “We will be closed on Labor day weekend”, “Yes, we will be open”, “It doesn’t cost anything but you need to reserve a time”, “Yes, it will cost this much $$ to hold that time”. Man, my head was spinning.  So, I called a friend that so happens to work in the facility (THANK YOU!), they were able to make a call and give me a number to call.  Of course, no promises.  I called and was able to work it out.  Whew!  We had a blast.  Her mom and aunt came along and were big help.  We went everywhere inside.  It was fun watching other people that were visiting.  Some watch, some would point.  Should have gotten their reactions too. Ha!  Well, let’s get to those pictures. Enjoy!

Fall Bridal Fair

20110816-100141.jpg

We had a great bridal show this year. My mom (in the pic), my wife and I all worked the booth talking to brides, giving tickets for a chance to win a wedding, and answering questions. We had close to 160 entries! Wow!

Well, I would like to announce the 11 winners. Our boys help draw the 11 tickets. They had so much fun. Here is a list of the winning numbers: 390731, 390636, 390603, 390630, 390613, 390621, 390759, 390734, 390650, 390721, 390608.

Congrats! To all the winners!

We will be emailing all the winners Tuesday evening to make arrangements and lock in their dates.

If your number was not in the above list, no worries because all the brides that enter are winners. By putting your name in the bowl you can either get 40% off for 2011 wedding or 20% off 2012. I will be getting in contact with you as well. Remember the deadline to grab these discounts and retain my service is September 30, 2011. Wait, that is not all, if your date is already taken, you can still receive 20% off either a Bridal session or an Engagement. You still need to retain my service by 9/30/2011.

Again, I want to thank all the brides that visited our booth. I look forward to getting to know you and the groom from now to that special day.



Sample Engagement Book

(Click image for Slideshow)

I just got in my Sample 12×12 Photo book.  This could have pictures of an engagement, bridal, day after (shown) or even a wedding.    The above image is the back and front cover of the book.  This is more of a coffee-table photo book instead of an album.  The pages do not lay flat as do the albums I offer.  But this is great gift for parents, grand-parents or other relatives. Take a minute to go through the pages.  Let me know if you like the layout. The book is nicely done.  Enjoy!


Possible Bridal Spots

I was driving by this Chapel after a Birthday session today.  I turned around, pulled out the camera and took a few images.  This would be an excellent spot for Bridal or engagement.  If you are looking for photog to do your Bridal or engagements, then click on my Contact page, fill out the form and let’s get a meeting on the calendar.  There are so many different spots we can look at.  I look forward to hearing from you.


Fall Bridal Show – Our Booth

(Click image for Slideshow)

It was a great Bridal Show.  We met several brides and had 127 enter our contest. We are so excited for those that won and for all you that did not, don’t you worry, we have great offer that will be hard pass up (Check out the Home page to find out more info). This was our first time at the Little Rock show.  We have participated in the Conway show and Kiss the Bride Expo. Each time we do a show the better we get at branding Reflections by the Hill.  Figuring out your brand is very difficult.  Not only did we meet some wonderful, beautiful brides but we met some great vendors too.  I list out the vendors and their websites below. I want to thank my beautiful bride for helping me decorate and work the booth. I also want to thank my mom for taking care of the boys.

Young Deigns – Event Design & Production – www.youngdesigns-events.blogspot.com – Some awesome decorations!

Hobarts Printing and Design – www.hobartsprinting.com – Wow! They have some sweet cards!

Bates Events – www.bates-events.com – They were very nice to talk to.

Gala – www.imaginegala.com – I caught them tearing down wish I got some images.  Very nice booth.

Soho Photography – www.sommerholdenphotography.com – Yes, I added another photographer.  We photogs need to stick together ;) .

If you missed seeing these vendors, go check them out.


Beverly’s Bridal

(Click image for Slideshow)

Beverly and I met at the Kiss the Bride Expo last March.  I had a schedule conflict with her wedding date but we able to setup a bridal session.  We had a great time.  Having the session at the Trapnall Hall was very beautiful.  I recommend any bride to have their bridal there. Anyway, I have these wonderful, beautiful images but I haven’t been able to contact Beverly.  I have her email and phone number but neither are working.  I didn’t want to put out my favorites up until she got to see them; why I have waited so long to blog about them. So, if you know Beverly, please let her know I have been trying to contact her.  Feel free to pass on my contact info.


AR Bridal Show

What a day at the show! Both my wife and I are still plum tired from the show yesterday. But we had a great time and met lots of beautiful brides. The image above and below are from my iPhone. I hope to get more images of my booth up soon.

I want to thank all the brides that stop by my booth. It was great talking with you. If you have any questions, please leave comment below or email calvin@reflectionsbythehill.com. Those of you that enter our drawing for free wedding, we are still trying to get organized and will be contacting the winners soon ( that’s right I said winnerS ).


Super Stoked

You ask, “Why are you Super Stoked?”  Well, not only did I have great day at Barcamp Conway, not only is my new website and blog up and running (Thank you so much Cotton & Pleth), but I also received brochures and business cards for the upcoming Bridal Show this Sunday.  I was testing fate ordering so late but there were complications with the local establishments.  I really don’t blame them since ordering a week before the show isn’t that smart.  Anyway, I cannot wait!  If you haven’t gotten your ticket for the Bridal Show, no worries.  You can purchase them at the door.  I am looking forward to seeing all the brides at the show.  Check out http://www.arkansasbridalcommunity.com/ for all your bridal needs. See you soon!

Outtakes of me trying to be stoked at 11:45pm.

Little Bridal Session

This past weekend was the Conway Bridal Show. I wanted to convey to the brides and moms the difference between hiring a professional photographer and using someone in the family/friend. [Read more...]
