The Bridal Party..an Honor or an Obligation? Day One Wedding Traditions Forum

So we are starting out the wedding tradition discussion with the ever-so-present Bridal Party.  If you are a factoid geek, like myself...check out the very fascinating history of the bridal party. If you are a movie geek, perhaps you have recently checked out this humorous representation of Bridesmaids.  

   WE WANT TO KNOW....

Is being asked to be a a part of the Bridal Party is a huge honor and a role you are delighted to accept.. or an obligatory commitment that will just end up costing you a boatload of headaches and cash? 

Should the bridesmaids have the primary say in choosing the dress...or should it be the bride's choice?

Should every single important family member and close friend be included in the party, or should it be a smaller, more intimate circle?  Is it even necessary to have a bridal party?

What are your thoughts on having a parent as a maid of honor or best man?

Flower girls and Ring Bearers....adorable addition or additional distraction?

**What are some creative approaches you have taken or have seen others taken when it comes to the bridal party?

Please share your thoughts with us below. You can answer one or all of the questions-or anything at all really. It will only take you a second or two and you will be entered to win a daily prize (super-cool Allebach Photography bling), and the GRAND PRIZE of a FREE one-hour session with Mike!

Meet Mike Allebach - The Tattooed Bride Photographer Guy

So who is Mike Allebach, the guy who takes all these photos of tattooed brides?  Take a look at this video:



Whatcha waiting for?  Get on my mailing list

Schtuff Mike Allebach Likes:

Favorite Bands: Jonsi, Social Distortion, Op Ivy, Gasoline Heart, Agnostic Front, Rancid, Jimmy Eat World, Gaslight Anthem, Zao, Imogen Heap, The Police, Sigur Ros and Minor Threat

Favorite Part of the Wedding Day: Hanging out with the Bride and the Groom right after their first look or following the family photos when the bride and groom let their guard down.  The moment when someone feels most at peace is the moment I like to capture on camera.

Favorite Color: Is black a color? No? Then black and pink....ahhhh.

Favorite Foods: Enchiladas, Tacos, Korean Soy Fried Chicken and anything with avocados.

Top 5 Beers: Victory V-12, Allagash Curieux, Double White Ale by Southampton Publix House, Imperial Choklat Stout by Southern Tier and Dogfishhead 120 min IPA

Hidden Talent: I play the guitar. Played four years in a punk rock band.  I used to scream a lot while playing and looked like a skinny meth addict but I digress. 

Secret: If you happen to be friends with me on facebook, you'll probably notice the rediculus amounts of Carly Rae Jepsen posts about Call Me Maybe.  I don't really know how it started other than I usually put down my camera when the song comes on and get on the dance floor.  Sometimes my music tastes are very similar to an angst ridden teenage girl.

Alicia & Mike: Stylist meets Tattoo Artist / Drummer

For the first major post of 2011, I choose Alicia & Mike. I've known Alicia for a while now...she has been a stylist on a bunch of shoots we've been involved in, tattooed model in our 20s flapper sessions, on Allebach Photography business cards (and now she is getting married this year).  Mike is a Tattoo Artist and plays  drums in Fight Amp.

So I thought it fitting that the first engagement couple I'd blog in 2011 would be Alicia & Mike.

FAQs (The things you wanted to ask about Allebach Photography but were too afraid to ask)

Here are some of the top questions we have been receiving lately.

1. Why did you stop blogging?
Stopped? Nahh. Just slowed down. It's the busy season so we've been focusing on our current clients, editing photos and albums. If you are dying to see new photos check out our facebook page http://www.facebook.com/tattooedbrides

2. Is it true you have twin boys?
Most certainly yes. We also have a 2 1/2 year old full of energy.

3. Why haven't you posted any new photos of the twins online?
See question #1

4. I'm a bride who loves your work but I don't have tattoos. Can you photograph my wedding?
Sure. We photograph all sorts of weddings. You can schedule an appointment to meet with us by calling 610.539.6920 or by emailing weddings@allebachphotography.com

5. I'm a rock and roll / punk rock / roller girl / steam punk / tattooed bride / offbeat bride. Can I get a discount?
We offer $100 discount to anyone who fits in this catagory or is having an offbeat wedding.

6. Can I send you a check for $8000 for a wedding at the Ritz in Philadelphia and you send my friend in New York a check for my $2000 over payment.
Sorry, foreign email scams must be paid in cash.

7. Do you photograph babies? Families?
We'd love to photograph your family.

8. I want stiff, formal, 1980s style wedding photography - can you do that?
Let me grab my shoulder pads, star filter, haze filter and bag o' tricks and I'll be right over. Do you mind standing still like a robot for half an hour?

9. What do you like in a wedding or a bride?
I love personality. Sure everyone has a personality. I love brides who let that shine through. I just saw this video and loved it. The couple made this wedding their own...who cares if you like it. The bride and groom had fun. I think that is why we do so many alternative and non traditional weddings.

A Wedding In Black and White: Dennis & Marichka

Dennis & Marichka were a dream to capture on their wedding day - so emotive - so beautiful - so in love. Photos were a big part of their day - they made sure they planned their day so they could have the important photos captured - making my job easy. Here is their wedding day in black and white.

Enjoy.
