Who made the Website?!?!
Well, I finally updated my website! I know, it’s been FOREVER but I’ve been just a tiny bit busy 
.
Besides, picking pictures for the website is no easy task. Of course I LOVE ALL the images I give my clients or else I wouldn’t give them anything. That’s what is fabulous and frustrating about this job. If you LOVE everything how do you choose the one’s you REALLY love and not just sorta love? This question usually causes me to spend HOURS mulling over 1000′s of images trying to decide which are worthy of the website until my eyes cross or I decide that a glass of wine is in order! This is why I usually only do it 2 or 3 times a year, just to keep myself sane
So, want to see if you made the website?!?! Check us out at CarolinaPhotoStudios.com. There is 1 new Featured Wedding and LOTS of new pix under all the other galleries! (I’ll give you a hint, there is AT LEAST 1 photo from every session in the last few months somewhere there, I just can’t help myself
Thank you so much to all my wonderful clients that allow me to capture some AMAZING images for them. I literally couldn’t do it with out you!!!

Welcome to the 1st WTT: Wedding Tip Tuesday!
Hello All!
So excited about the very first WTT or Wedding Tip Tuesday! Each and every Tuesday we’ll be sharing Tips and Tricks to help make your wedding Super Awesome! Our Tips will come from vendors that are in the industry and have great advice on everything wedding as well as from our past brides who have the best tips having lived their own wedding experience.
Also, If you have a tip that you would love to share with future brides please email us at gillian@carolinaphotostudios.com and let us know. If we publish your tip we’ll let you know. It can be about anything from Photo’s to Flowers, engagement to after party.
WTT: 5 Basic Rules for your Wedding
1: Do your Homework! Gather referrals from recent brides-find them through friends, coworkers, family and even other vendors. Then read customer reviews at TheKnot.com/local and the Better Business Bureau (bbb.org).
2: Know your numbers. You must have an idea of the number of guests and a tentative budget before you start reaching out to vendors.
3: Don’t be afraid to negotiate. If you find yourself over budge, ask your vendors what you can do to cut costs.
4: Be an adult. Come to meetings prepared with ideas and concerns, and dress professionally.
5: Ask Questions-LOTS of them. Don’t forget to write down all their answers. While you’re at it, write down, print and track all correspondence for your records.
(5 Basic Rues for your wedding comes from The Knot Magazine Winter 2010)
