This past weekend I had the opportunity to participate in a fabulous event,

EngagedMilwaukee | Milwaukee’s Wedding Planner & Guide Show

It was the first year under new management & I think Brian & Jes did an outstanding job in less than 5 months that they had to get this off the ground!

The event took place @ the Frontier Airline Center in Milwaukee & was on Saturday & Sunday.

The ever fantastic David Tutera from My Fair Wedding was there on Saturday & I had the pleasure of meeting him & photographing both the presentation & the autograph signing afterwards.  I can not say enough wonderful things about him.

What a sweet man that truly loves what he does & the people he works with.

It was also my pleasure to be the official show photographer, thanks Jes & Brian again for the opportunity!

Looking forward to our Summer show @ the Pritzloff building!

The branding was just top notch.  Loved the logo, loved the colors.  Everything came together perfectly.

These were the stickers the Bride & Grooms wore when they arrived.  Pink for ladies, Grey for the men.

So much better than the stickers that say “I’m the Bride”

My full page ad inside this year’s book

My booth this year, came together just as I had envisioned.

So many people to thank!  The husband for one who helped load & unload & put together everything you see here.  Couldn’t have done it with out him.

Also Michelle, my 2nd shooter for driving down in the snow to deliver brand new prints & albums that were just delivered, you are the best, truly.

Also some of the items in my booth were rented from

A la Crate Vintage Rentals in Madison, Wisconsin

They are AMAZING.  Working with Sarah was fabulous.  Such a sweet lady & a lovely business.

Brian & Jes, moments before David Tutera went on stage.

Job well done guys, job well done!

David you were adorable from the get go.  Your smile, your enthusiasm for helping others is amazing & is an inspiration to everyone in the wedding industry!

Thank  you for an amazing show & for taking the time to great all of your fans, every last one of them.

Melissa was David’s personal helper that day while he was at the show & she had the pleasure of doing his introduction, great job Melissa.

Loved these shots as David came to stage.  {Thank-you Michelle B}

Loved this moment between Brian & Jes during the show.  All this hard work, paid off.  A sigh of relief perhaps!

David was so intent on answering questions & helping others

Absolutely adorable.  Your smile is contagious.

Getting ready to meet his fans & sign autographs.

The show provided the photographs for David to sign, everyone loved it!

The fabulous Michelle B & David

Yours truly.

These little girls came up at the end, they were there for a birthday party.

Dad brought them all out {I believe they were around 9 years old} to meet David Tutera

SO cute!

The fabulous EngagedMilwaukee team!

Now to say that Melissa loves David, is an understatement

…and this shot really says a lot about who David is.

100% completely genuine.

So honored to be able to meet him & spend some time with him.  I’m now fully addicted to his show!

Adorable couple that was there the entire weekend for entertainment in the main lounge area.  They were so lovely.

Fred Astaire Dance Studios supplied dancers who danced through out the weekend, demonstrating what a Bride & Groom’s first dance could be like if they took lessons from their studio.  Makes me want to take lessons!

Thanks again Brian & Jes!  It was a great event!

It’s been awhile since I’ve blogged.

2 months to be exact.

Wow.

So I’m dusting things off & getting things started again.

During the buys season it gets quite difficult to keep up with workflow & posting sneak peeks on Facebook, so often the BLOG takes a back seat.

My goal for 2012 is for that to change, to be a better blogger.

Over the next few weeks I’ll be catching up on some BLOG posts both portrait & wedding, stay tuned.

Also wanted to let you know over the next couple weeks/months I’m excited to roll out Natale Photography’s brand new website & BLOG that I’m hard at work with right now.

For the most up to date images in my portfolio please swing by Facebook or shoot me an email, I’d be happy to email you a current slideshow!

In the meantime watch for some new BLOG posts coming out this week, one today in fact.

We are into full swing Wedding booking season for both 2012-2013.  We are a little over half booked for 2012 & anticipating that we’ll be fully booked by the start of Wedding Season in May.  If you are still looking for a photographer call the studio to set up your personal Bridal Consultation.

Speaking of Weddings, here is a small iPhone pic of my booth this past weekend @ the EngagedMilwaukee Bridal Show

Natale Photography exciting announcement :

This week, if you live in the Machesney Park/Roscoe/Rockton Illinois or Beloit Wisconsin area you’ll be receiving a coupon/savings magazine called

“Best of Machesney Park/Roscoe/Rockton/Beloit” that I was recently asked to shoot the cover for.

This time I was able to have my own daughter, Lucy on the cover, which was especially unique as she is wearing a very old family dress.  This dress was worn by my mom in the 1950s, me in the 1980s & now Lucy.

As always, loved working with Deb {from Coupons Work magazine}.

Thanks again for the opportunity, Deb.

The magazine is a great resource if you live in the area to get some fabulous discounts & support local businesses.

Make sure & take a look!

For the upcoming Bridal Fair “season” {Natale Photography is participating in two with in the next three weeks} as well as just freshening up our samples @ the studio I ordered a few new albums/books & received those this past week.

Here are just a few of the albums you’ll see at our booth today at the Quality Inn & Suites in Madison, Wisconsin.  The show is from 1-4 & is FREE to get in.  If you are engaged & planning a wedding, make sure to stop in & say hi.

Looking forward to meeting some fabulous new couples.
