Wonderful Weddings!

Up until recently, (welcome, Samantha Nelson!), Lifewall was filled with 20-something-year-old males. We still pride our manliness, outrageous amounts of pure testosterone, and our complete lack of emotional vulnerability. But... we do love the cutsie adorable-ness of weddings. And thanks to a lot of you, we've been able to indulge in our enjoyment of the occasion. In light of the several weddings we've had the honor to help make special as well as our upcoming appearance at a WEDDING SHOW here in Marshall, I thought we'd show some of them off.

Jacob & Amy
What's interesting is that our FIRST real stretched canvas print was for a wedding - Jacob's - Lifewall's very own COO! It was rather large, and consisted of a collage of photos featuring Amy and him. Daniela, a friend of the couple, put it together.

Ashley & Aaron
Up next we have a couple of canvas prints ordered by Rhonda up in the Twin Cities. They feature her daughter and son-in-law Ashley (the daughter) & Aaron (the son-in-law). One is another collage, but put together with some software at LifeWall.

Joe & Chelsey

Some cool connections with this couple. My wife (Hannah) actually knew Joe through working at the YMCA... turns out he's actually worked just about everywhere in town. One of those 800 places is down the street at Carrow's, where he helped me out getting my tux together for a somewhat special occasion (MY WEDDING). He's been in here a few times and always has something encouraging to say - awesome guy. Beyond that, I recently started working at Family Video in town. Guess who also works here - Chelsey! Anyway, to get to the point - what you see here is a great, photogenic couple. 

Halie & Matt

I've known Halie for quite a while - she's good friends with my sister Kayla. Rumor is she's actually related to me, which makes sense because she's always sort of felt sister-like to me. Proof: I once made her storm off on her bike after we had a fight. No worries - we're good now. Below are Halie & Matt, along with some cool canvas prints they actually used during their wedding. 

Maxx & Rachel

This next couple isn't actually married... yet. Instead, they've gotten a couple of engagement prints made up, and they turned out great! 

Yours Truly & Hannah

Modern day Beauty & the Beast. You guess which is which. 

Hope you enjoyed the love & cuteness dripping from this post - we certainly did. Thanks to everybody featured here for allowing us to use your beauty in this post. We appreciate it! Readers - feel free to comment!

We Do Big Canvas

A while back, we got a really nice compliment from Dana on the East Coast. She called with an interest in a large canvas print (60"x48"), and explained how she had been searching around for a company who provides prints that large. We actually weren't the people she called first, but when the first company said they don't provide prints that large, that company directed her to US! What's cool about this is that the company is generally well-known, and we had no clue they even knew we existed. Needless to say... it was encouraging to hear. Anyway, here's a rendering of the image she ordered, and below is what she kindly said to us in an email.

The print looked AMAZING! I took it to a frame shop to have it stretched within 24 hours of receiving the print and it’s been hanging since the 1st week of Jan. I cannot thank you and your staff enough. You all did a fabulous job.

On that note, we do some big canvas printing! A while back I posted an image from the Daily Grind (a local coffee shop & restaurant) here in Marshall. We did a show featuring the work of Bill Van der Hagen, and two of those prints were 60"x40" ones - pretty big! They looked great, hung great, and we actually have a couple waiting to be hung up in our office!

I'm very eager to see some of the large prints that are ordered in the future. We go up to 60"x48", and they can all be ordered & designed on our website - yourlifewall.com. To be fair, we don't actually ship stretched prints with dimensions larger than 40" that will be shipped, but we will send the materials for you to do it yourself (it's easy), and we'll even include instructions on how to do it. Of course, for local orders, we'll do it all for you.

So, a huge thanks goes out to Dana - I can't wait to see a picture of the actual hung print. As for the rest of you, thanks for reading! If you enjoyed, let us know by commenting!
