Here’s another fun couple that we were able to squeeze in during Christmas time. We went down to the UT Tower and the Capitol and had a
little fun.
I got to go back home and enjoy some fine cajun cooking and hospitality! I also got to spend some time and visit with my 5-year old nephew. The older he gets, the less time he wants to spend with me – so sad…
I also picked up my 5 lb. bucket of ‘gourmet Reeses cup cookie dough’ from my sister’s son. It was one of those ’support my kid by buying expensive cookie dough’ school promotions. When we were kids, my sister and I would always get into trouble because we would always eat these items that we sold through school instead of delivering them. My favorite was always World’s Finest Chocolate – yum!
She also does the best job of dressing up her ‘Taco Bell dog’, too. As usual, I bought yet another LSU cap, shirt and sweater. Baton Rouge has changed so much since Katrina, and the traffic is stupid crazy.
I also helped a good friend of mine photograph a wedding (Jason Cohen of Jason Cohen Photography). The bride was very pretty and it was a simple country-style wedding in Opelousas, Louisiana. Images to follow.
We just wrapped up another wedding, quite a few portrait sessions, created Christmas cards, performed MANY print orders and even a few albums. WHEW!
One lesson that I did learn this year – set a ‘cut-off’ date! I didn’t do this and I learned my lesson. Also, I’m going to encourage customers to have their photography session in October for their Christmas cards to be done on time.
Anyway, we just finished up Ellen and Paul’s wedding and I’ll post some highlight images shortly. It was a beautiful and quaint wedding at Mercury Hall. I finally got a chance to work with one of my favorite wedding consultants, Mrs. Gina Starr-Hill or Starr-Catcher. She is a machine! She’s awesome and was on top of everything, and still had room for a smile! Anyway, I forgot to mention that she’s one of my favorites because she uses our images for her advertisements.
We’ve also been requested to submit some images for the website of Enchanted Antique Limousine. They have some beautiful cars and Warren pays very attention to detail on the look of the cars AND he’s dependable and a great guy. I really love the red Bentley, too.
We were also asked to visit Vintage Villas for their Vendor day. I had 15 minutes to give a complete description of our business and products. It was pretty tough, because we offer so much. It was great to visit with Marilyn, Becky and Lauren and we look forward to working with them again throughout the year with a few of the weddings we have already signed.
The next thing coming up – the Austin Wedding Guide Bridal Show and another wedding. Our next wedding will be with our ‘cover girl’ – the young lady that graces our splash page for our website. We hope to see many brides at the event and you can purchase discount tickets here.
Now, I’m off to Louisiana for Christmas and I can’t wait to see the LSU Tigers blow away Notre Dame in the Sugar Bowl! GEAUX TIGERS!
We went downtown again for a fun and relaxing e-session for Lindsay and Albert. It was nice for these two to get together because he just got back from Iraq.
