Its March!! Weddings season begins!!!


Most people think the wedding season begins in June. The real truth is that for us it begins when we stop booking for 2009 and start working on 2010.

That is not to say that if you haven't booked your 2009 wedding photos and video that we can't help you, but that the odds are we are booked.

We will only shoot 2 weddings on Saturday and one on Sunday. At one bridal show this one photographer told me I was crazy - " Just hire another photographer. The problem I have with that is what if they do a bad job? Sub contractors are just that for a reason - they cant make it on their own.

Marianna, Natasha and I have more than 30 years of experience - I know were good (and modest) People have been asking for a list of available dates. Sorry.

I LOVE to turn people away. It means that our work is good enough and in demand enough that couples make the decision to book. The operative word is decision. If I had a list online of the dates we were available for than many couples would just look see we were not available and we would never really know how many couples were interested but either waited too long or decided too late.

For 2008 that number had reached 61. So between today and March 1st 2010 I want to say sorry we are booked to 100 couples. Weird goal huh?

For 2007 the number of people who wanted to book us but when they called to give us their wedding were politely told thank but unfortunately we are booked was 78.

For 2006 the number of people who wanted to book us but when they called to give us their wedding were politely told thank but unfortunately we are booked was 63.
