Happy Anniversary to Vicki & Brian.

We want to wish Vicki & Brian a happy first anniversary together!  We hope it’s the first of many more!

As you probably gathered from the satellite photos posted earlier this week, we’re looking at a new house.

UNofficially we may have found the future home of Picture Infinity Studios.  All I can say is I hope everyone is SO impressed when they see it!  I know I was!  We have a bit to do on the mortgage paperwork, the packing, the moving, the painting, the unpacking, the waiting…. but I couldn’t hold it in any longer!

The new place has studio shooting space, a “real” office space, and a meeting room.  We’re going to have SUCH a great time and making new memories!!

More details & finalizations as they become real.  I don’t want to jinx the move but let’s just say I’m VERY excited about this.

 Starting 1/1/08, we will (as always) have a lot of changes.  One change is to our terminology - we will be going away from “couple’s sessions” and going to two types of session - “We Will” = Couple’s session, engagement session, pre-bridal session, etc.  “We Did” = post wedding, couple’s session, Trash the Dress, etc.   We will as always still offer traditional bridal portraits though we get so few requests for them these days.

ANYWAYS - here is our first official “We Will” session featuring Nicole & Tim.  We don’t know if we will get to shoot their wedding but after their session, we sure hope we will!  These two were funny & great to work with.  I always like couples with a great sense of humor and they laughed with (and yes at) us the whole day!

We want to thank Linda so SO much for coming out to the NYC Trash Bash.  We had an AMAZING time shooting with you & getting Thai - you are officially our Thai food expert now!  You & Nelson are such great people - we love you guys & will let you know whenever we’re coming to NYC.  You made the trip so great!!  By the way - the first photo below, ABSOLUTELY one of my faves ever.   That’ll be on the gallery & slide when I update them!

These are more of the NYC Trash Bash photos:

We are planning a Picture Infinity 2007 DVD - sort of a year in review, featuring all of our awesome 2007 weddings and several shorts on segments of the year - Parents, Candid fun moments, etc.  More info to come.

Kelly & Dana had their wedding AND reception at Wysockis in Cicero on August 25th.  We enjoyed being with them, their families, but didn’t enjoy the rain!  It rained for the entire ceremony from the time Kelly got down the aisle until they were finished and ready to walk the other way.  It became a very intimate affair with whoever could fit being underneath the gazebo and we managed to get some shots from under there (as you can see below).  Oh and PS. Dana wasn’t really trying to get over that fence very hard….was he?

I love exuberance.  Heather is by *far* the most exuberant bride EVER upon seeing us.  When she saw us at Bridesworld, she’d already seen the website.  She literally ran from the door, STRAIGHT TO US, practically yelling “PICTURE INFINITY!!!!”  When she got to our booth she said “I want you to shoot my wedding, I saw you online and I want you the date is September 22 and you’re available, right?!!!??”

From that moment on, we have been absolutely WAITING for this wedding.  These are just the previews but I think you can feel the passion between these two - they are SO in love.

(that second black & white shot is one of my favorites from the whole year - Sarah took that and was just as amazed as I was at how incredibly awesome it came out!!!)

I am going to have Amy & Ryan’s full wedding edits done as quickly as I can but for now, I thought I’d put up a few images from their rehearsal dinner cruise and wedding day.  We LOVED shooting both days with Amy & Ryan - such a great night for the dinner cruise and a beautiful day to do a wedding.  Hope you enjoy the photos - sorry the preview is SO LATE - what a crazy time here lately!

Shhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh………..

Happy Anniversary to Kristin & Michael.

We want to wish Kristin & Michael a happy first anniversary together!  We hope it’s the first of many more!  (If you put up with him for this long Kristin, you can keep going!)
