New Website

Over the last week or so I've been completely overhauling the website. As you've noticed, the new site is quite a bit different than the old one. It's not done yet though...

With the new design comes new pictures for our portfolio; which is currently down as we rebuild it as well. In addition to our new portfolio, I'm currently working on creating a print order form which will allow you to order your pictures straight from the website. There is a beta version of the form in use right now but keep tuned as more functionality is coming very soon. Along with the order form will also come new proofing galleries reflecting the new look and functionality of the site. Current proofing galleries are still available using the link on the home page.

We've also introduced some exciting new features to our site. If you haven't noticed yet, we've created pages on our site to recomend vendors and venues with which we have had great experiences with. Our intent is to provide you with unbiased recomendations about other business with which we have encountered and possibly help you in your search for the perfect venue/vendors for your wedding, party or other event. We also want to do our part in promoting great customer service by rewarding these venues/vendors with our recomendations.

With all of this said, I would also like to add that I appologize for anyone who has accessed our site and recived a 404 error or come across pages that didn't quite seem to function. These errors are typically quickly resolved, however if you come across an error, I would greatly appreciate being notified so I can address the issue. You can notify me using the contact us page. In the near future I will build a special contact page to specifically contact me, the webmaster.

Have a great day!

Marathon Wedding week, New Equipment

Well... It's been a CRAZY April, and we're not quite done with it yet!!

Last night marked our 8-day, 3-wedding marathon, and while it's nice to have it done, it was SO fun!!

Every one of the weddings were beautiful, all in very different ways.
We are SO blessed to have the opportunity to work with each of these couples, and are excited to share the pictures with you VERY soon!

In other news, after our Sunday the 13th wedding, our laptop decided it was time to go to the giant laptop bag in the sky. I was quite sad. Even more sad once I realized there were still pictures on it that we hadn't had an opportunity to transfer. Luckily, the hard drive wasn't affected, only the power supply, so no pictures were harmed in the dying of the machine.

Ben and I decided it was necessary to get a new one, as we use ours CONSTANTLY, so as soon as we realized the old Dell was no longer with us, we hopped online and had a new one ordered in less than 45 minutes.

I'm quite excited about it... and even more excited about the deal we got from newegg.com

I'm not computer illiterate by any stretch of the imagination(I mean, we have 4 different computers in our house that are actually used), but I was REALLY surprised at everything this computer brings to the table. It has a 17' screen (perfect for slideshows) a TV receiver with a huge remote and dvd burner and 320 G hard drive, 4 Gigs of ram and a 64bit core 2 duo chip... the list goes on. I'm highly excited about it to say the very least.

anyway... that's all I have to say about that.

Have a great week!!!
