I’m so, so excited to say that Briana Snyder Photography is (finally!) moving into a real, official space of its own! My new office is inside of the Dayton Wedding Connection (but, don’t worry, I’ll still be doing other kinds of photography out of there, too!).

Now, I’ve thus far resisted doing any bridal shows or events–to be perfectly honest, being involved with anything having to do with the “wedding industry” has, in the past, made me sort of…twitchy. As a bride, I rejected any idea that seemed too traditionally “weddingy” in favor of doing it myself (we only hired a photographer, caterer and DJ). And, yes, I loved my wedding but, you know what? It was a whole lot of work. And a lot of work that I didn’t necessarily need, or, in the end, even WANT to be doing myself. There are some things that you just don’t need or desire do yourself, and that you’re perfectly willing to pay to have taken care of for you (this is coming from the girl who paid someone to fill up my tires last week because it was that kind of day and I was just not having it). In those situations, there is nothing better than to have great people you can trust to do fantastic work for you.

That is why I’m excited to be joining an organization that provides lots of different options for brides, all under one roof. You can stroll through and see caterers, bakers, florists, planners, DJs, rental companies–anything you might need for your wedding. If you want even less stress, their conceierge will schedule the appointments for you–you just have to show up! (Because, seriously, having to call and make appointments with dozens of different vendors, who are all open different hours–not the most fun part of wedding planning.)

So, I’m just now getting moved in, but I’ll be sure to let you know when I’m all set up (and, of course, I would love to have you stop by!). I’m just so beyond grateful for all your love and support, and for all the opportunities that have arisen for me and my business. I can’t say thank you enough!

Have a beautiful weekend!
