Where were the Zettls?

If you attended the bridal show at the America's Center this past weekend, you might have met our great office assistant, Jen. Jen is helping fill in for us while we are attending a very special photography convention in Florida.

We're learning all kinds of great things, from how to be better and more creative photographers to how to run our business more efficiently. We've been hanging out with some of the world's greatest photographers, helping mentor new photographers and we even got to participate in another Trash The Dress bash. (We got some hot images.)

We really missed meeting you all at the bridal fair, we hope that we will get to meet you soon in our studio as we discuss your plans for your wedding and your photography desires. Feel free to call Jen at the studio at 314.454.6612 or email us at zettlphoto@prodigy.net to set up an appointment.

Where did 2007 go???

Wow! What a year it has been! I just finished up all our portrait sessions for December 2007 and Peter is finishing up our last wedding of the year. We appreciate all our great clients and we are looking forward to working with you in 2008!

Some official business:

January Office Hours:
Peter and I will be in Florida January 2-12 for a photography conference and a few days on the beach. (We're really excited about the conference as we will be hanging out with some of the best photographers in the world - yes, the world. We also will be participating in another TTD bash on the beach. I love post-wedding day bridal sessions and I'm really excited about getting to play outside the box.)
Our great office assistant, Jen, will be here on Tuesday and Fridays. We will be answering our email and voice mail regularly, but please give us 48 hours to return your messages.

Have you placed your album order yet?:
All of our clients have one year from their wedding date to place their album order. After one year the album is forfeited as per our contract. We haven't been enforcing that rule lately, but with our increase in work and the number of couples that have yet to get us their order, we will be strictly adhering to the one year policy starting January 31, 2008. If you are over one year and have not placed your order yet, you have until 1/31/08 to do so without penalty. Please feel free to call or email us with any questions. We want to make you an album, please get us your selections! :)

Loose ends:
We'll be launching a new website soon!
We're also working on keeping you more up to date on all the fun things going on at Zettl Photography. We have lots of great ideas for photo sessions and we're really going to start focusing on our "Lifestyle" sessions and our "Year in the Life" series for our portraits. Weddings are still our business focus and we're mostly booked for 2008. We will only be taking 10 more weddings.

We wish everyone the very best!
