WJBR Bridal Expo

Thanks to all the peeps that came out to the bridal expo last weekend. It was such a blast and I got to meet so many excited brides. The raffle was a huge hit, so needless to say, everybody was signing up to win. Check out the winning entry on Ron Soliman's Blog. And, of course this week has been really busy with me following up with some of the gals we met.

By the way, check out one of my newest clients, Angie. She is a photog in New York and she and the love of her life, Joel are getting married in Hersey PA. Oh it must be heaven to say your vows to the one you love while the scent of chocolate is in the air...What bliss! :)

Angie shoots great wedding pics...check her and Joel's photography at www.milestoneimages.us

I could spend hours on her site just reading her blog!!!

It's the one and only Brandywine A-LIst...and we're on it!

More exciting news....Pea Patch Video has just become the ONE and ONLY videography company on the Brandywine A-List. The A-List is a referral listing of all the...ahem...BEST companies in the area. I can't believe that my company is on the same list as so many local businesses I admire...Laura Novak (who, in my humble opinion, is the QUEEN of distinguishing herself from all other photographers through her art AND her vision for her business to grow and be a success on multiple platforms... I worked for her for a few months before I had Anna, and I cannot begin to tell you what an inspiration she is to me!), Jennifer's Bridal...Jennifer has also been a local businesswoman who has set herself apart from the rest with her upscale but comfortable boutique as well as her BEAUTIFUL line of dresses (and yes, I did get my dress from there!), Sugarfoot fine Catering, Everything but the Kitchen Sink...the list goes on and on....

One GREAT thing about the A-List is that you can get a GreenCard that is 20 bucks and gets you discounts to every business that is showcased on the list. So of course with my vendor membership, I get one too!!!! I think this is a great Christmas (although too late this year) or birthday gift. 20 bucks and it's like a huge book of coupons, only you can use the same discount again and again. It's definitely my stocking stuffer for next year!

good ol' days? maybe not....

I just found this pic of me from when I worked for The News Journal....this was probably taken two years ago, aka pre-marriage and pre-baby days!

This of course was taken by Ron....he is nice enough to take pics of you on the scene AND send them to you.

I remember this shoot...it was outside a home where a little boy was killed in his basement by his cousin who was visiting from Florida for the holidays. Not to bring everybody on the blog down or anything...do you see why I like to shoot only happy events now???

Bridal Show THIS weekend (1/13/08)

Litrato Photo and I will be at the WJBR Bridal Expo this weekend! Check us out at Litrato's booth where you can see Ron Soliman's awesome pics and some of my videos. We will also have a really great raffle that will include a $100 gift card to my FAVORITE nail salon, Chez Nicole in Wilmington. WOW....100 bucks can go a long way at Nicole's. And they do THE BEST gel nails, acrylics and pedicures for your wedding....I know because I went there for my wedding :)

Above is a pic from "yours truly's" wedding that was shot by Ron Soliman.

Movin' on up!

I am sooooo excited to announce that Pea Patch will now be operating out of Centreville! My new office will be located behind Buckley's Tavern in a (this is too cool) farmhouse that's been converted into offices. The house is actually already an established production company, Black Sheep Productions that is owned and operated by TJ Healy II (look him up on imdb.com, you'll be amazed at all the movies he's worked on, The Perfect Storm, The Village....it's so awesome!) He is also working on a great educational series about WWII Vets called Voices of War. Check it out if you get the chance....

TJ and I hope to be able to kick around ideas and feed off each other creatively. A lot of my editing work will still be done at my home office in Newark, but clients can come visit in Centreville to see my work and meet up to talk about their big day :)

And yes, it IS spelled with an "re" instead of an "er" for Centreville...the sign is PROOF that I can spell!
