Boy is it cold outside.  Hope you are keeping warm and having a better year then last year!  One event that can warm almost any one’s heart is ARC of Livingston County’s Annual Fashion Show and Silent Auction. The ARC uses this fundraiser to raise funds to sent handicap children and young adults to summer camp.   This year it was once again at Crystal Gardens during the Holidays.  I have had the pleasure of photographing  it every year for the past 5 years and my husband photographed it for many years prior to his death.  Many local residents  along with sports celebrities and TV news personalities volunteer their services to model for the show.   This year even Mickey Redmond, Former Red Wing Star and the voice of Red Wing Hockey came out to help with the cause.   It was a fun-filled night that raise thousands of dollars for this wonderful cause.  Here are a few of my favorite pictures from the event…
January is not a very popular month to get married in, but there are some benefits to having a Winter Wedding.  Most of the venues will give you a discount and you can get services like photography, DJ, videographer at a winter wedding discount.  We will give you an extra $100.00 off if your wedding is held Dec-March of the year.  It is something to consider if you are on a tight budget.  If you want to save even more money book your wedding on a Sunday or during the week!  If you are planning a wedding in the next year we are offering a discount right now through March 1st, 2010.  You can get between $150.00 to $300.00 of our wedding packages.  Dates are filling fast so don’t hesitate to contact us!

I got a call from a Bride about six months ago. She had someone else photograph  her wedding a year ago and wasn’t happy with the results.  She asked if she could book an in Studio Bridal Session in January with Us.  Nicole and Dustin came into the Studio on a Saturday afternoon in January with all their bridal attire from a year ago and we had a ball.  They were a wonderful couple that are just naturals in front of the camera.  It was a great way to spend a cold winter day.  Here are few favs….

Another nice way to spend a cold winter day is at a Wedding!  I had the of pleasure of videotaping the wedding of Aubrey & Ann on Jan. 21st, 2010.  The  ceremony was at one of the most beautiful wedding chapels I have been in.  They were married at the Victoria Wedding Chapel on the shores of a Frozen lake in Waterford.  The Chapel is located in an English Tutor Style Mansion.  It had stone work and fire places! It was very charming.  This sweet couple made it a family affair.  Ann’s daughter and son were in the wedding.  Plus, her brother was Aubrey’s Best Man.  Ann looked beautiful and Aubrey was so handsome in his tucks with torquoise accents.   The reception was at Crystal Gardens here in Brighton.  This couple’s  love for each other was very apparent and the children’s love and admiration for Aubrey was very touching.

Thank You For Stopping by!

Keep smiling,
