The Perfect 10: 10/10/10

I have joined Wes and Danielle Hope of Hope Photography in their “Perfect Ten: 10/10/10: The Coolest Contest Ever”!!  I am so excited about this.  I have worked with Wes and Danielle before and can tell you that they are great photographers and a wonderful team.  I love their style and the way they capture all the beauty and precious moments, but they also always seem to get the absolute best from the bride.  Oh, and they have a really great sense of humor that you can’t help but laugh.

They are celebrating their 10th anniversary of marriage and 10 years as wedding photographers.  And as a way to celebrate they are having a contest to giveaway a wedding package for a wedding on 10/10/10.  You can go to their website for all the details and rules.  As part of the giveaway, I am giving away the video of the ceremony for the lucky couple who wins.  There are some other great wedding vendors contributing services for this contest like One Enchanted Evening and Lisa Foster.  So, visit their site now and sign up today.  You could win.

Be sure and check my blog in a few weeks as I am going to be having a special promotion myself during the month of February.  I will be sharing those details in the coming days.  Also, there are some new things I am doing that I will be sharing with you in some future blogs to come out soon.

A new start for 2010

It has been a long dry spell for my blog posting as of late. I could give a lot of excuses for not posting; Christmas holidays, family committments, year end work, floods, new additions to the family… the list could go on for days but the fact of the matter is I have just not had time to get in the postings I need to.  So let me take a few moments to catch you up on what has been going on with Midnight Magic Studios.

I had two great weddings to wrap up 2009 and they were connected in a really wonderful way.  I had booked a wedding for November 28th, with Ashley in the late summer.  She was just so excited about her wedding when we first met that I knew her wedding and reception was going to be just off the wall.  And it was.  Then, three weeks before her wedding, I got a call from a mother of the bride for a November 21st wedding.  I had the date open and was more than happy to help capture the day for her daughter Sarah.  As I was doing my planning I got a call from Ashley who asked me if I was doing a wedding on the 21st.  I told her I was and much to my surprise, Sarah is a friend of hers.  Not only that, but I was going to be working with the same photographer on both weddings, Kristen Overbay. I have worked with Kristen before and I know what a great job she does. Both weddings were great and I have just finished up both of their videos.  I still have some clean up work to do on both of them and they should be going out soon.

The Christmas holidays were great, but we had some huge changes here at home.  First, we had a new addition to the family: Boomer, who is a Snorkie.  I know you are asking… what is a Snorkie?  Well, he is a mix between a Yorkie and a ShiTzu, thus a Snorkie.  Boomer is a great addition and has added quite a lot of laughter to the house. The two other dogs are not laughing so much, but the adjustments are being made well.  Then, right before Christmas my wife’s car bit the dust.  It didn’t break down, it just got to the point where it was not safe to drive anymore… “frame fatique”.   So, the week of Christmas, we went car shopping which resulted in us a great Honda Accord that my wife is very happy with.

I hope 2010 is off to a great start for everyone.
