This past Saturday I spent the day with Heather and Mike for their winter wedding in Newmarket. The day was filled with a mix of lots laughs, fun, emotions and a large police presence! Yes you read correctly, I’ve never been to a wedding reception with so many police officers in one room, but they were there to join with Heather and Mike as close friends and co-workers with Heather.

I had an amazing time and I know you guys will have a blast on your honeymoon and I can’t wait to hear about the trip. Enjoy these photos for now and I’ll post a slideshow soon as this is just a small sample.

Here is a video where I discuss some of the issues surrounding digital files for wedding clients and highlight some of the issues you need to be aware of. Specifically you need to understand that not all high resolution files are the same. I have a number of topics that are related to this topic that I’d like to get into further so I’ll post some follow-up videos soon. This one is about 8-9 minutes but if you’re looking for wedding photography you’ll want to know this information.

Here are some photos I took recently of my new DVD packaging that all of my 2010 wedding clients will be receiving. I’ve been looking for a while now to get something really different and unique and I’m sure my clients will be thrilled with these.

They are made from natural papers and are also very eco-friendly which is a bonus. If I do get a good response from clients I’ll definitely be getting more for the coming year.

Congrats to Cheri and Dave on the birth of their baby boy. Here are a few portraits I took over the weekend. He’ so cute and was a champ through out the whole thing as he didn’t even make a sound. Of course I couldn’t resist and had to get one of his cute little sister too!

Here are some completely random and true facts about me. There’s lots more, so maybe I’ll make this a running list and add on at a later date.

• Chicken or Steak – For sure steak , I like mine medium
• Coke or Pepsi – Coke every time, there is no substitute
• Jube Jubes or Gummi bears – Jube Jubes, I have to have a supply of these near my desk, especially on long editing sessions
• Gas or Electric stove – Gas, my parents always had one growing up and I don’t think I could ever like electric, I love my gas stove
• Electric tooth brush or manual – Electric, ever since I got it I kept wondering why I didn’t get one sooner
• Winter or Summer – Summer, I live for the summer months and love the heat
• Chips or Popcorn – Popcorn all day, I’ve been going old school lately and popping it on the stove in a large pot. Add the extra butter and salt and I’m good to go
• Electric shaver or blade – I love my electric, it’s sharp, fast and doesn’t irritate my skin like a new blade. From time to time I don’t mind using the blade though
• MMA or NBA – I love MMA, I’ve been a huge fan for a long time, but I still love to watch an NBA game when I get the chance
• Email or phone – I don’t mind email but prefer the phone. I just feel like I can feel and make a much better connection with people if we can chat. I just thinks it’s more personable. Having said that I’d much rather chat with clients face to face
• TV or movies – I really don’t have that many TV shows that I have to watch – except for LOST. I love watching movies as a way to wind down and of course have to have my Coke and popcorn
• Cake or Ice Cream – Both, why not have the best of both worlds
• Casual or formal – I really don’t mind dressing up but when I’m hanging out it’s jeans and a shirt for me. For weddings I wear black dress shoes, black dress pants and a nice shirt
• Juice or Water – I drink a lot of water during the day, but first thing in the morning I have a glass of juice
• Coffee or Tea – No thanks, not for me
• Finally, Mr. Roper or Mr. Firley – Firley was a little too weird for me, and I preferred Mr. Roper

I had the chance recently to visit with our friends Cheri and Dave who are expecting their second baby any day now. It seems like just yesterday we were in the same position and it’s definitely a nervous and exciting time for them. I’m really looking forward to seeing the baby and wish you guys all the best.

What’s the first thing you’ll do when you get on your computer after your wedding? Of course you’ll hit facebook or twitter and want to post photos from your wedding day. Maybe you’ll want to send an email to someone to show off some of your wedding photos. The trouble is that if you’ve received digital files from your wedding, the file sizes are huge and your computer is probably not as fast as you’d like and you don’t want to spend hours in front of the computer to upload them. What do you do?

For those couples that have already booked with me this year you’re taken care of. If you’re planning a wedding and would like more information on digital files etc and the social media package, please give me a call and I’ll tell you about the details.
