The Region Weddings Social Hour

April 13, 2016 Steve Vansak

In this "off season" (I've already completed 4 weddings for 2016) I have worked on building up my presence on social media, including Instagram, Facebook and more. I have also won an award from the popular wedding site WedAward for the above image. I though I'd share some of the links to social media in a post so that we can connect on the various platforms. Let's start with one of my favorites, Instagram...

I usually post one image daily on the Region Weddings Instagram feed, so be sure to go over there and follow me. Here is a list of all my various social sites, including links:

Let's not forget about Pinterest!! You can often find many of the images on this blog as well as ones that didn't make it in on the Region Weddings Pinterest Page. Check it out!

Flickr is an oldie, but a goodie. I admit I haven't posted there in awhile, but if you enjoy perusing flickr, be sure to check out my photo stream on there.

Portrait Studio Grand Reopening

February 14, 2012 Steve Vansak

I have a brand new portrait studio opening in March. Photography clients who have had sessions at my former portrait studio can attest that the quality has been superb, but the room a bit cramped. All that changes in a few weeks when I will have a grand reopening of the larger studio - now located in Crown Point, Indiana.

As before, sessions will be booked by appointment and the results will be what the big box retailers cannot offer. Just as I strive to make my wedding photography unique, my child photography and family photography will have the same guidelines.

For high school seniors, I will now have many more sets and backgrounds along with an App for iPhone and iPad in some of the packages. There will even be a rock star set up to revealed soon.

My Crown Point portrait studio can also be a destination spot for engagement photos as well....

I hope to have things complete in the next few weeks so I can post some images and reveal the exciting new studio packages. Of course, things have been crazy busy with the move and booking wedding clients for 2012 and 2013.

More news about my new Crown Point Portrait Studio coming soon. In the meantime, enjoy these images from past sessions.

Wedding Client Mobile Apps for iPhone, iPad and Android

January 22, 2012 Steve Vansak

Today I'm introducing an awesome new add on to my wedding packages - wedding client mobile apps for iPhone, iPad and select Android devices. Starting in 2012, all wedding clients who book the Digital or Digital Plus packages will receive their very own App in a lite version for no extra charge. All clients who book a Digital Deluxe package will receive their very own app in a premium version for no extra charge.

Mobile App Lite Version: 1/2 dozen images chosen by me, ability to share the App with friends, one touch contact me button and a direct link to Region Weddings.

Premium Version: 25 images chosen by client, ability to share the App with friends, one touch contact me button and a direct link to Region Weddings.

This Premium Version will be available for purchase to any client for $19.99. Buy the App once and share with as many friends as you'd like. In other words, one purchase for all who want the App.

FAQ:

Q. Do I need to go to the App Store to download the Apps?

A. No. All Apps will be downloadable via a link on the web. See instructions below.

Q. Do the Apps work on Android?

A. Yes. However, Android has many different versions, sizes and manufacturers. I suggest you download the free Region Weddings App or a lite version first before purchasing a Premium App.

Q. Will the App work on the iPad?

A. Yes, it is especially designed for iPhone and iPad.

Q. My mom, my brother, my 200 Facebook friends and my Aunt Millie want the Premium version. Do they all need to make a purchase?

A. No. You buy the App once and it can be sent to your friends right from within the App itself. No limit as to how many of your friends can download YOUR MOBILE APP for free.

Q. Can I run the App while off line?

A. Yes, after it downloads choose 'yes' to "add storage to your device" when this pops up.

Follow these instructions to download the FREE REGION WEDDINGS MOBILE APP FOR IPHONE AND IPAD:

Log on to a Wi-fi network with your mobile device when downloading the App for the first time.
Tap on this link Region Weddings Mobile App.
An instruction in Mobile Safari to "tap on the + button" will appear. Choose "add to home screen".
Let the App download. Eventually a pop will ask if you want to "add more storage to this device". Choose yes.
Soon after this a "download complete" will appear and you will then be able to enjoy the app offline.

The Region Weddings App above is an example of what your App will look like. The screen icon will be one of your wedding pictures.

Known issues:

On some Android phones and tablets, the screen icon becomes a generic bookmark. No known issues for iPhone or iPad.

I hope you enjoy this new feature. I will be rolling out Apps for my studio clients as well. Stay tuned.
