Etsy artisans make a variety of photo booth props perfect for a wedding or wedding shower. One set lets you write on notes on them like "I came for the beer" or "I came for the wedding cake." The notes are erasable so your guests can add their own special message for you.  

 

 

 

 

Coffee and Sweets

End your wedding reception with a hot cup of coffee with a stirrer complete with a tiny doughnut hole on a skewer with your wedding date on it. Put the coffee in a up that has your names and wedding date on the side. The perfect accent for the end of a perfect day. Not only that, if your guests are a little tired for that drive home or back to the hotel, this will perk them up and keep them alert for the ride. 

Looking for more creative photos? Photos that take the mundane parts of your reception and turn them into memories? Call Harwell Photography and talk to them about shooting your wedding day.

Portrait of Women Shoots Make You Look How Every Woman Wants To Look When She Gets Married

Welcome to this great guest post by Katie Bradford Osborne.  I couldn't wait to share Katie's artistic vision with you as well as how she has used her art to help others at Cancer Support Community of Philadelphia.  Thank you for guest posting Katie. 

“What would the world be like if every BRIDE knew how amazing she is?” - Katie Bradford Osborne

Your wedding is almost here.  You've personally chosen everything with care down to the last little detail.  But there is still one big blaring detail you haven't covered yet- you have absolutely no idea what to get your groom as a wedding gift!  He already has a great watch, six pairs of cufflinks, and three personalized money clips.  Googling 'groom's gift' is getting you nowhere.  You've considered doing a boudoir shoot.  It would definitely be unexpected, and he would certainly enjoy it! But you're not sure you want to choose a gift that only he can see.

What if your portraits were ART instead- something that you can hang on your wall that will not only be an extraordinary gift for him but will celebrate you as a gorgeous and captivating woman you are right now when you're looking back on this time of your life in years to come?

Enter Katie Bradford Osborne, a Philadelphia area fine art portrait photographer and her Portrait of a Woman program!

  What IS a Portrait of a Woman shoot?

Portrait of a Woman is about capturing the beauty of a woman - inside and out - and showing her as the captivating woman she can be!  The program was created when Katie realized how seldom women really celebrate these things about themselves, instead spending hours in front of the mirror berating themselves for not being perfect.  But that's Katie's specialty- seeing the beauty in every woman and showing it in her art.  And that's what makes a Portrait of a Woman shoot different.  From beginning to end, Katie will work with you on every detail of your shoot- from creating a concept to wardrobe to location- in order to create a shoot that is perfect for you.  The end result is art that you will be proud of for years to come!

The exciting thing is that right now you can do a Portrait of a Woman shoot and feel great about helping out a great cause at the same time!

During the month of October, Katie is offering a limited number of minisessions for a reduced rate as part of her Women of Heart : Becoming Art For A Cause charity effort benefitting the Cancer Support Community of Philadelphia, an amazing Philadelphia organization dedicated to providing education and support to those whose lives are affected by cancer.  As an added bonus, the culmination of these shoots is a gallery event on November 2 where the best portrait from each session will be displayed alongside art submitted by other area artists- you will truly get to see yourself as art!

So now is the time to become ART! But don't wait- minisession slots are filling up fast! For more information about Women of Heart and Portrait of a Woman and to book your own minisession, visit KBOPhotography.com or contact katie by email- katie@kbophotography.com.
