Ever After Images

It always makes me smile to receive pictures from weddings that used sparklers for the grand exit.  Debra Malkiewicz, from Ever After Images in Austin, sent in some incredible photos that she and her husband have taken from recent weddings.  There were so many to chose from, but I am going to share my 3 favorite photos.

This photo was one of my favorites!  I really like how happy the bride and groom are and how the guests have turned and extended the sparklers toward them.

This next picture was so beautiful with the main focus on the sparklers!  I really like the vantage point from where it was shot from.  The sparklers look so amazing and really add that sense of warmth to the event.

This last picture was too cute not to share!  I love how the bride and her bridesmaids had fun with the sparklers and wrote her name in the the air!

A great photographer knows how to stage unforgettable pictures!  Debra and Raymond have a special knack for capturing the most important details of any event and it shows in the quality of their work.  I thoroughly enjoyed looking at their photos on their website.  If you are in the Austin area and are looking for an incredible photographer, please visit their website at http://www.everafterimages.com or call 512-989-6952 to meet with them. 

I want to send out a special thank you to Debra for sending me these beautiful pictures!  It is always nice when we get a chance to see how beautiful our sparklers make an event!!!

If you love Valentine's Day, then what could be more romantic than getting married on this day and proclaiming your love in front of your family and friends.  You can  have your wedding reflect all the romance of your love story with special details in a way that it won't feel too cheesy. 

Subtle traditional touches can make your special day unforgettable!  Like these red, jewel studded heels!  These stunning shoes really incorporate the romantic theme of Valentine's Day.  I can just imagine "I DO" on the bottom of these shoes!

If you are going for a less formal approach..... check out this beach themed Valentine's Day wedding.  The red bridesmaid dresses really tie in the rich color of this romantic day, but with a more causal flair.

I can't help but think how the addition of our Heart Sparklers would compliment this love theme!

Wishing everyone a fabulous Valentine's Day !

Angel Springs Event Center

One of our most valued clients, Angel Springs Event Center located near Austin, TX, was recently selected to receive an award from Wedding Wire for the "2012 Wedding Ceremony and Reception Venue".  Once you visit their website and view their photos, there is no doubt as to why they received this prestigious award!

You will fall in love with Angel Springs Event Center!  It is nestled on 10 secluded acres with majestic oak trees and several outdoor locations to have the ceremony that have the breathtaking Hill Country views.  Guests will enjoy spectacular scenery as they stroll the grounds.

Anthony Beissner, owner of Angel Springs, loves the addition of sparklers to the grand exit.  "If you are looking for a spectacular finish to a wonderful day, consider using sparklers for your send off.  At Angel Springs  we can provide sparklers for your guests to celebrate the end of your evening.  The sparklers we use burn for a full two minutes so there is plenty of time to stroll among them and get lots of pictures.  Don’t forget to stop and smooch.  Our sparklers don’t smoke too much (like some other brands do), so it won’t look like you’re coming out of a fog bank. They are a great idea for a memorable end to a special day.

Here are a couple of pictures from Angel Springs Event Center our of sparklers in action:

Angel Springs likes to use our #20 Gold Wedding Sparklers.  As Anthony stated, they have a burn time of 2 minutes which gives the bride and groom plenty of time to make their way through the tunnel and still have lit sparklers.  Sparklers add an extra touch of warmth to the evening, making it unforgettable!

Congratulations to Angel Springs for their recent award!  If you are looking for a wedding venue, consider going to their open house they have every Wednesday from 5:00 - 7:00 pm and visit their website http://www.angelspringsevents.com

Lori Anderson Photographers

I ran across this photo from a photographer in CA.  Lori Anderson Photographers, based out of Orange County, took this fabulous photo.  The guests are using #36 sparklers which are great for a send off!  They have a burn time of 4 minutes and allow the bride and groom ample time to make it all the way to the end of the tunnel with the sparklers still lit.  The guests are making a great, safe tunnel with the sparklers held out and high above their head.  You can see how beautiful these tunnels can be!

What I love about this picture so much is the look on the little boy's face staring up at the sparklers above him.  PRICELESS!!  After seeing his face, it made me wonder just what the view is from that vantage point - looking up at the beautiful sparks above, appearing so close that you can reach out and almost touch them. 

If you are a bride in Orange County and need a photographer who has a fun, friendly, relaxed style - be sure to contact Lori Anderson Photographers or visit their website at www.loriandersonphoto.com.

Sparkler Video

I ran across this amazing video that shows sparklers during a wedding exit in s-l-o-w motion.  This is such a unique video - I haven't seen anything like this before! 

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8VdpjSIfw6A

What an extremely beautiful video - I love how incredible the sparklers look as the bride and groom make their way through the tunnel.  The bride's facial expressions are priceless as she walks by the guests.  

The photographer, Jerry Ferguson from Jerry Ferguson Photography, is based out of AZ.  He is an amazing photographer with a great talent when it comes to capturing special moments!  Please go check out his website and if you are in the AZ area, be sure to contact him!


I hope you enjoy this video as much as I do!  A special thanks to Jerry Ferguson for letting me share his video!

Sparklers for Engagement Photos

Although wedding sparklers are very trendy for grand exits at receptions, I LOVE the idea of using sparklers for engagement pictures.  Paige Lowe, from Paige Lowe Photography, sent me this exquisite engagement picture from a recent photo shoot.

http://www.paigelowephoto.com

This couple used our #36 Gold Sparklers to help create this breathtaking shot.  I absolutely love the way the sparklers are illuminated with the glow of the city in the background.  The sparklers really make the lights pop and add such character to this picture.  What a great photo!!!

If you are thinking about incorporating sparklers into your engagement pictures, talk with your photographer in advance and let them know you want to use sparklers to help create fun, unique photos that you can't wait to share with your family and friends!

Thanks again to Paige Lowe for sending me this incredible photo!!  Be sure to check her website out at http://www.paigelowephoto.com or visit her facebook page at http://www.facebook.com/PaigeLowePhoto.
