Engagement Photo Session: Interview with the Bride

I recently interviewed cute bride Teagan about her engagement session with Dave from Jaffa Photography.

How did you pick your photographer?
My sister and brother had Dave do their weddings and I loved how their pictures turned out!

How did you pick the location for your photo shoot?
I wanted to go somewhere that was unique and so I asked Dave what places he has liked in the past. He gave me a list of some places and I decided from there!

You guys look adorable! How did you decide what to wear?
Ohhh thank you!! We picked Rick's shirt first and then I went and picked a couple of shirts that would match it! We should have done it the other way around, boys shirts are a lot easier to find than girls!

Which do you prefer? Candid shots or posed?
Honestly I like both, but I did like it when Dave (the photographer) posed us and took a couple of shots and then told us to look at each other and of course when Dave says “Rick kiss her” that’s my favorite!


Did you come up with any of your own poses or did you let the photographer do all of that?
Rick & I had some ideas and Dave was more then happy to do them for us!

Were you nervous at all during the shoot?
No way! Dave makes it so comfortable and so fun!

What did you like about your photographer?
He was very personable. He gets to know everyone in the family and anyone helping out with the wedding not just the bride and groom. He is very fun and up beat all the time! Even if we have seen each other 2 days out of 3 he still is just happy to be there joking around and having fun!

What were your hopes? Did the photos meet your expectations?
I wanted good pictures just like everyone does, but I got AMAZING pictures!! Yes they did!

Which photo is your favorite and why?
I have so many favorites, it’s hard to just think of one. There is one where we are holding hands and looking at each other, it just amazes me that he can capture the love and sparkle in our eyes. All the pictures by the sunset are my favorite as well!

Do you and your groom agree on your favorite photos? If not, what is his favorite and why?
We agree on most of them, but his favorite is the one where we are sitting on the ground and were pullin our serious faces. He says it shows off our eyes and characteristics!

If you had to do it all over again is there anything you would do differently?
Not a chance! I loved every minute of it and can't wait for the wedding now!

Many thanks to Teagan for sharing her amazing photos with us!

Save Money on the Postage of Wedding Invitations

Looking for ways to save money on the postage of your wedding invitations?

There are 3 things to pay attention to when choosing an invitation that will help you save money on postage in the long run.

- The 1st is the shape of the invitation. Anything that is in the shape of a perfect square whether it’s a large 7 inch square or the smaller 5.5 inch square will cost more to mail.

The reason for this is that the square shape isn't compatible with the post office machines & has to be hand-cancelled which in turn will cost 20 cents more to mail than a standard invitation. So instead of 44 cents to mail, you will be paying 64 cents to mail a square design.

- The 2nd thing that you need to pay attention to is the weight of the invitation. A 44 cent stamp will cover anything up to an ounce. If the invitation, envelopes & enclosures, together, weigh over an ounce it will run an additional 17 cents per additional ounce more to mail.

- The 3rd way you can save money on postage is on the RSVP. If you choose to have your guests respond by phone number or e-mail rather than doing a mail back RSVP with an envelope, then you don’t have to pay postage on the envelopes that your guests would normally mail back to you & at 44 cents each... the savings will add up fast!

If including a mail back RSVP is still important to you, consider ordering a postcard style which is less expensive at only 28 cents each to mail.

Happy wedding planning!

The Winning Invitation for the Ultimate Utah Wedding

The television audience voted! The winning invitation that Nick & Whitnee will use for their Ultimate Utah Wedding is invitation #4, the Jackson Invitation from Jaffa Printing.

The Jackson Invitation is a beautiful contemporary invitation that features 7 candid photos of Nick & Whitnee. The prominent colors are red & black & white which are the couple's wedding colors. It has a fun tab on the right with their wedding date & the invitation pulls open from there to reveal 4 additional photos overlayed on the background photo of the stadium where Nick played football.

The television audience from abc 4's Good Things Utah did a wonderful job picking an invitation that represents the couple & incorporates their theme of the Ultimate Utah Wedding. Whitnee hand selected all of the photos for this invitation and it was her favorite from the very beginning. Congratulations Nick & Whitnee! We sure enjoyed working with you & wish you the best on your Wedding Day!

A Rockin New Years Card

This couple choose the Rock Star Z-fold Invitation a fun invitation that totally reflects their rockin personality.

Here is a New Years Card, it has the same feel as their invitation but I used one of the engagement photos that they didn't include on their invitation to make a matching holiday card. How easy is that? They wouldn't even have to have their photos taken again.

Top 4 Invitation Picks for the Ultimate Utah Wedding

On Monday, I was on the morning show
Good Things Utah
to present Jaffa Printing's
final 4 invitation choices for Whitnee & Nick.

This photo shows Whitnee & Nick reviewing the final 4 invitation designs.

Here are the final 4 invitation choices. Now it's up to you to decide which one they will use for their wedding. You can view a video of the show and vote here.

The key to choosing an invitation that you will love, just like Whitnee and Nick, is to pick an invitation that reflects your personality as a couple in the colors, fonts and style you select. Whitnee and Nick really love the outdoors and they knew right away that they wanted a photo invitation. Their wedding colors which they wanted incorporated into their invitation are red, black and white. So all 4 invitations that we designed for them have those things in common but they are completely different styles.

Invitation #1 the Empire Folder features multiple photos and a subtle pattern which is a very popular look right now in invitations. It opens up to a gorgeous outdoor photo of Whitnee & Nick on the left and on the right the delicate pattern is softly screened & repeated behind the wording. Originally this invitation included black and white photos but at the last second Whitnee decided to have them all printed in color. I love the way it turned out!

Invitation #2 is our Jester Sleeve invitation. It is the perfect marriage between organization & elegance. The enclosures fit neatly inside this linen sleeve which is less expensive than a pocket invitation. If every guest isn’t invited to each and every event, there is nothing to worry about. The sleeve comes in different sizes so that guests who aren’t invited to specific events will never know the enclosures are missing. This sleeve invitation is unique because it features a photo on the band that wraps around the sleeve.

Invitation #3 is the Brittany Invitation. This design features lots of personality and lots of photos, seven to be exact. Nick liked how the date is so prevalent as this design unfolds. With the date this large, he knew his friends wouldn’t forget his wedding date. On the inside Whitnee loved how a large landscape photo is used for the background and the wording along with 4 candid photos are placed directly on top.

Invitation #4 is the Jackson invitation. It also has 7 photos but everything prints on one side of the paper which makes it less expensive than the Brittany. It has a fun tab on the right side of the invitation where the names and date can be placed and you just pull it open from there to reveal 5 additional photos. Ute fans are sure to love this one!

I had so much fun working with Whitnee and Nick on their invitations for the Ultimate Utah Wedding. At Jaffa Printing we specialize in a custom invitation without the custom price. We have an invitation for every style and every budget. We loved working with Whitnee & Nick on their invitations & we can’t wait to work with you on your wedding invitations.
