We are in full swing for the summer wedding season and this is making future brides and grooms think about their own wedding plans. They are doing their research and starting to book their wedding vendors, including Kurt as their wedding photographer. Kurt already has several weddings and events booked for 2013 and have several more with appointments scheduled to book their wedding or event. When planning a big event like a wedding, it is always a good idea to secure your favorite wedding vendors early and by the looks of things for next year, the earlier the better. If you are still unsure or have questions, it is better to meet with your photographer to discuss these matters and Kurt's consultations are always FREE. However, Kurt cannot hold any date without a deposit and a signed contract. To check for availability and/or to schedule your FREE wedding consultation, please call Kurt at (419) 885-7153.

On Saturday, June 9, 2012 we are taking our Kurt's Kustom Keepsakes green screen photo booth to the Valentine Theatre for a Jim Morrison Tribute concert that benefits the Boys and Girls Clubs of Toledo. The concert features Phil Barone as Jim Morrison with the Maxx Band and The Wet Sun Light Show. Tickets for this event range in price from $25 to $85 and may be purchased on the Jim Morrison Tribute website or by calling the Valentine Theatre Box office at (419) 242-2787.

These are our Senior Ambassadors for 2013. If you are looking for ways to save money on your Senior Portraits, ask one of our ambassadors for their rep cards. Their cards, as shown above, will entitle you to half off of your Senior Photo session fees. Each ambassador has 25 cards to pass out, so get yours early before they run out! To schedule your senior portrait session, please call Kurt at (419) 885-7153!

As you can see, some of our ambassadors come from schools that have designated yearbook photographers. For your yearbook photo, you MUST go to your school's contracted yearbook photographer. However, you DO NOT have to purchase your Senior Photos from that photographer. You can go to any professional photographer for the ones you want to buy! You also do not have to go to the same school as our ambassadors to use their rep cards for the discount! You can go to any school!

Looking for some great outdoor photos of your child, children or family? Are you having a family reunion and haven't had a photo of your entire family in a long time, or ever? Are you having a company picnic and want to have photographs to capture the memories? Now is the perfect time for outside portraits before it gets too hot or too dry or you get too busy! You can choose your favorite location or Kurt can choose it for you. Because of all of the weddings and events that Kurt has scheduled for this summer, Saturday appointments are extremely limited so it's best to book early. Early mornings and late afternoon or early evenings are the best times for outdoor photo sessions and will get booked quickly. Call Kurt at (419) 885-7153 to schedule your outdoor portrait session!

Looking for fun ways to keep your guests entertained at your wedding, fundraiser, family reunion, or other event? Are you hosting an Company Picnic or Graduation party? Want to wow the crowd at your Open House or Grand Opening? Are you searching for ideas to make your party stand out from the crowd? Have I got just the right thing for you! Kurt's Kustom Keepsakes is an open air photo booth that uses digital technology similar to that which movie and television show makers use to create digital characters and backgrounds.

You choose the background(s) before your event. Then, while at your event, we take pictures of your guests in front of a green screen. Then, with Hollywood style GSI magic, we create an image of your guests in the background picture you chose. This is a fun and exciting way for your guests to enjoy your gathering, and can even take home a copy of the photo for a souvenir! We can also make a scrapbook from the photo booth images for the guests to sign! Check out my Kurt's Kustom Keepsakes website for more information, images from past events and pricing details. You might even see a real Hollywood celebrity or two!

This is also a great idea to keep the students entertained for proms, after proms, or any school funtion. Ask Kurt about special pricing for non-profit organizations.

Did you know that I offer Custom Greeting Cards? This can be for Christmas, Hanukkah, Birth Announcements, Graduation Announcements, Save the Date cards, or just about anything you can think of. We can use pictures from a new photo session or one you have already had. Call me at my studio at (419) 885-7153 for more information and pricing details.

Kurt Nielsen Photography is proud to announce that Kurt has received The Best of the Knot 2012 pick for wedding photography in the local Toledo market. This is Kurt's second year advertising on The Knot and his second year in a row winning this prestigious award, as voted by local brides and grooms. Voting is done by writing reviews and rating the wedding vendors service on a scale of one to five. Brides, grooms, parents of the couple, and even members of the wedding party can write a review for Kurt or any wedding vendor. It can be a recent wedding, or a wedding that took place at any time (even years ago as long as Kurt photographed the wedding). The Knot then takes the reviews and ratings and determines the winners for each category. There are hundreds of wedding photographers in the local area with over 100 of them being listed on The Knot website. Reviews are a great way for brides and grooms-to-be to learn about local wedding vendors. If you would like to help tell future brides and grooms about Kurt Nielsen Photography and would like to write a review for Kurt, all you have to do is go to The Knot website and write your review for Kurt's services for your wedding.

Unlike other awards in which winners are selected by the organization, the Wedding Wire Bride's Choice Awards are awarded solely based on the reviews from over 1.2 million newlyweds. Awards are determined by a combination of four factors: Overall rating (quality), total number of reviews (quantity), review performance from 2011 (recency), and consistency of reviews from year to year (consistency). This year's recipients represent the top 5% of WeddingWire's vendor community, across all service categories and all regions throughout the US and Canada." (from WeddingWire.com)

Kurt is very honored and humbled that he has been awarded this prestigious honor and sincerely thanks the brides, grooms and mothers of the newlyweds who took time out of their busy schedules to write such awesome reviews to help him achieve this standing.
