The blog is moving! As of today, there’s not much up there, but any new blogs will be over at

http://www.brettalisonblog.com

Please let me know if you have trouble viewing it – I’m in the process of setting it up, and I know it may look different in different web browsers.

Once all the kinks are out (hopefully in a couple of days) expect more posts to be up quickly. And update your bookmarks!

Free photoshoot offer!

brettalison — Fri, 12 Feb 2010 16:24:34 +0000

Happy (early) Valentine’s Day! In celebration of this day of love, I’m offering a free photoshoot to two lucky couples! Here’s what you’ll get:
- about an hour and a half of shooting with me, and my second shooter/husband, Tom
- a disc with all the touched-up images in high-resolution JPEG format
- online gallery at my website to share with your friends and family

And here are the only stipulations:
- the photoshoot will take place in the North End on Sunday March 14th at either 2 or 4 pm
- if it rains or is extremely cold, it will be rescheduled to a date in April that is convenient for everyone
- this offer is open to all couples – engaged, married, or just dating – please feel free to enter!
- you and your significant other should be comfortable in front of the camera, and ready to have fun!
- be willing to dress up (a little), or have a wardrobe change
- open to former clients, future wedding clients, friends/family of clients, people who’ve randomly come across this blog, anyone!
- you must be a fan of “Brett Alison Photography” on facebook to enter

So, to enter the contest all you have to do is become a fan of Brett Alison Photography on Facebook, then post a comment/link/photo on the wall there. I’m keeping the contest open through midnight February 28th and then will randomly choose the winners on March 1st.

Even if you don’t win, I’ll be doing other special offers throughout the year, and posting them on Facebook, so you can stay up to date there.

Liz & Jesse, June 20th

Liz and Jesse’s wedding reflected their easy-going, sweet personalities at the idyllic Hartman’s Herb Farm in Barre, Massachusetts. This is the second time I’ve shot a wedding at Hartman’s, and I have to say, I love it! This time especially because of all the kittens, but that’s just me (actually, alot of the guests were quite amused by them as well!).

Goodbye snow! (At least for a few days)

Well, I’m headed down to Florida tomorrow to visit my family for a few days… Hopefully I’ll come back with some highlights in my hair and some nice photos of sunny-warm-florida-things. I’ll still be answering emails and calls, and will probably (hopefully) even have another blog post this week. Back by the end of the week…

I won an award!

I’ve been chosen to receive WeddingWire’s 2010 Bride’s Choice Award! This award is given to the top 5% of vendors that are listed on WeddingWire’s site – as chosen/reviewed by their recent clients, brides! (and grooms! why do they always leave you guys out?) So, all you 2009 clients, thanks so much for reviewing me on WeddingWire! This will be the second year in a row that I’ve recieved the Bride’s choice award. Thanks y’all!

WPJA 4th Quarter 2009 Contest

brettalison — Fri, 29 Jan 2010 15:59:31 +0000

So, these are the images I finally narrowed it down to for the contest!

I need your help!

I’ve been trying to edit down my image submissions for the quarterly WPJA (Wedding Photojournalists Association) contest, but I’m having trouble. I didn’t enter the second or third quarter contests because I was so busy with weddings and personal stuff (my own wedding, buying a house, moving, etc!)… And now I have a ton of images to choose from! I have to narrow it down to 34 images, and right now I think I have about 76. If you’re not already a fan of “Brett Alison Photography” on facebook, please become one, and take a look at the images and vote for your favorites by “liking” them. This will be a huge help! Thanks
