Wedding Albums

I am beginning to offer these albums in my wedding packages. If you’re all about displaying your wedding photos (i.e., putting it on the coffee table for your guests to see), this album is for you. Here’s Aubrey and Kurtis’ album that just arrived. A very pretty linen holder. A leather cover in a variety of colors. Aubrey and Kurtis chose the black leather, 20 page album. The pages are seriously thick. 2mm thick to be exact. 🙂 One of the best things about this book… the pages lie flat. So you can have a photo go across the spread and not worry about the binding of the book getting in the way. A BIG thanks to Nicholas at Edge One Solutions for the album design.

MHP = Photography AND Wedding Planning

by Megan January 23, 2009 in Wedding Photography 0 comments tags: Colorado, Colorado Springs, Personal
It’s here. The day my business partner Edi and I have been talking about for months. We’ve planned, discussed, took notes, conference calls, etc… and it’s here. What am I talking about? Megan Hardre Photography now has a new addition and it’s wedding planning. About a year ago, I envisioned expanding my business to incorporate wedding planning. I knew I wanted to have it available for couples planning their wedding and because after shooting so many weddings, I have experienced the difference a wedding planner can make. However, I didn’t really know where to go from there. So, I prayed and I prayed for a next step. Towards the end of last year, Edi, who was then my second shooter at weddings and my right hand approached me about something like I mentioned above and it was such an answer to prayer. So, here we are. I will continue to capture your treasured moments with my camera and Edi is available to assist you in the details of your special day. Please be sure to check out our new website here: MHPAnd check out her blog here: Edi’s Wedding Planning We always love comments, so let us know what you […]

beyond the 4×6

I give a fully edited CD with the copyright for all my packages so I rarely get requests for reprints. However, recently I’ve been playing around with other options to offer you guys and I had fun with these photos on mats. The ones shown below are 11×14 in size on a black hard foam core and I LOVE how they turned out. I couldn’t post these before Christmas because they were gifts for our good friends Holly and Nick… and I couldn’t chance her seeing them on the blog. However… here they are. I put them on an easel but you could also frame these and they’d still look great. I like how they added a bit of variety from the typical “framed photo” when on the easel. They come in smaller sizes too and the photo below shows just how thick they are. Love it! Anyway, just thought I would share these with you! They are always available to order and fun to give as a gift or keep for yourself. 🙂 I hope you had a great Christmas. We sure missed having our families around this year, so it was quieter than normal, but wonderful nonetheless. Wishing […]

wrapping up a year

Now that wedding season is over for the year for me, I’ve been taking some time to focus on a few things within MHP including new wedding albums coming out at the beginning of the year (I think you’ll love them!) as well as an expansion project happening at MHP. I’m super excited for the New Year, all the awesome weddings coming up as well as the big announcement I’ll be making in the next week or so. AND, what’s a post without a photo? Here’s some of the awesome friends we’ve made in the last year since we’ve lived here. This was taken at our Christmas party a week or so ago. I hope you and yours have a blessed Christmas! 🙂 – – Megan

2009 Weddings

by Megan September 28, 2008 in Wedding Photography 1 comments tags: Personal
I just want to take a moment and say what awesome clients I have. I really love what I do. It’s the people I get to meet each day that makes it what it is. 2008 has been an awesome year and although it’s not over yet, I’m beginning to look to 2009 and all it’s going to bring. I’ve met with some very cool brides and grooms in the past few months to book their weddings and I am so excited! There are going to be some great weddings! 🙂 If you’re still in the ‘planning’ stages, some dates go very quickly. If you’re set on a specific date, book sooner than later so another couple doesn’t grab that date! Here’s the 2009 weddings booked thus far: January 31: Aubrey & Kurtis February 21: Julie & JeremyMarch 28: Erin & StevenMay 28: Christine & RyanJune 13th: Katie & AustinJune 26th: Dana & Robby June 28th: Bonni & AdamJuly 2nd: Jayla & KyleJuly 4: Meara & DanielAugust 8: Angela & ChristopherSeptember 19: Lauren & Andy And a big THANK YOU to all of my clients for making 2008 such a wonderful year. I couldn’t do it without you. 🙂 -Megan
