Let’s face it, the economy is in the can. Everyone I know is feeling the pinch in one way or another. For many couples planning a wedding, things are having to be scaled down to stay within their budget. Due to the popularity of my previous promotion, I decided to change my pricing structure in a way that would make it easier and more affordable for couples to get just what they want and need for their wedding day and pay for nothing they don’t. So now, I no longer have actual packages put together, but rather a list of options to create your own package. Each one starts with a base of 3 hours of wedding coverage and you then add from there what you need (extra hours, bridal/engagement session, albums, etc.). All “hours” include the digital files with copyright release. For those with strict budgets, choosing only coverage hours may be the way to go since you would then own the digital files and rights to your images which you can print yourself at the lab of your choice. For those with a little more budget room, you may choose the additional add-ons of coffee table books or other albums.  Most details can be found at http://www.hollyerwinphotography.com

The wedding of Vic and Heather was one of the most fun I’ve had this year. The stroll through downtown Ponchatoula, LA before the wedding provided some images that I hope the two of them will appreciate forever. In non-traditional fashion, the entire wedding party and some family members joined us as we make some stops at the couple’s favorite bar and captured some images in some beautiful spots representing the area well. As a photographer, it offered up some opportunities out of the ordinary and I do wish more couples would open up to things like this. Here are just a few images to share for now and I’m still proofing the wedding. I know Heather is anxiously waiting to see some of these while on her honeymoon. Hope yall are enjoying your trip! You were a pleasure to work with.

I’ll be shooting a wedding tonight in Ponchatoula, can’t wait to show some of those, it sounds like it’s going to be fun.
