DJ Derek Tobler provided the sound system and music.  Here he is with photographers Don and Lindsay Mears from Richmond.  Oh and BTW, congratulations to you both!  (Lindsay is due with a little girl in June not that you would notice unless she turns side wise!)

Hi happy blog readers! Just a note – I limit the number of weddings I photograph each year to ensure my clients receive the best service and all my creative energies; this means I don’t book something every single weekend.  I have about eight nine ten dates remaining so if you are thinking about booking me for your wedding in 2010, please contact the studio as soon as you have your date!

2011 brides, you’ll want to contact me soon if your wedding is in the spring time!

How delightful to be a guest at the Bridal Ring Launch party the other night!  The folks at Glenmore were great hosts and special thanks to Kluge vineyards for providing the refreshments!

Back from visiting the most magical place on Earth! Came home to DOZENS of deliveries and I’m making my way through them. I’ll be emailing and calling folks about when/where to pick up their gorgeous products in time for the holidays! And since blog posts need to have pictures, here’s one for you!

What a great show Sunday!  I love doing bridal shows – it gives me a chance to get out and press the flesh, so to speak!  We had quite a few people coming through and the phones have been crazy since then.  We have two new things we’re offering at Allegra’s Studio that seem to be a big hit – an unlimited coverage option and a Rainy Day guarantee!
