Enough of this “Coming Soon” stuff. Time to get things up and running once and for all. One of the things on my long to-do list is to get a wedding slideshow posted. You will be able to check this out and more in the Wedding Portfolio Page here: Buffalo Wedding Photography Information Page.

Man, I must have started a brand new blog-site three separate times now . Unfortunately, that means that there is a lot of work that’s not posted from our earlier days. We have been in business since 2006 so it was really tough cutting down this slideshow down to only about a hundred something images. I’m just happy to have finally finished it.

So enough blabbering. Time for you to sit back, crank up your speakers and enjoy the show:


Thanks!

Now all we have to do is start adding some new content to the blog again… Sorry for the delay. We have been really busy the past few months so blogging had to take a back seat for a bit. We did a lot of amazing shoots and I would love to get some up to show you all very soon.

Take care!

Becky and I never imagined that this contest would have had so many participants voting. As you can tell it took us some time to tally up all the numbers. I really want to thank everyone for voting.

We finished tallying things up and have a winner for our 2009 Best in Show contest.

Keith and Lindsay had the most votes and the bride and groom now have an 11×14″ fine art canvas gallery wrap coming their way of the winning image.

Congrats guys!

Now I am a geek at heart. I absolutely love my gadgets and technology in general. My wife will even vouch for me since I always try to sneak a cool new gadget in her Christmas and Birthday presents whenever I can.

So I was totally psyched when Apple announced their it. I watched Steve Jobs give his Keynote speech on the iPad and immediately hit me how we could use this little gizmo for our business.

Now, don’t get me wrong, the film photographer in me still loves tangible products like fine art proofs, canvas gallery wraps, coffee table books and wedding albums. However, these aren’t always “ideal” for carting around and showing off. An iPad on the other hand weighs in at under 2 lbs. and is the perfect tool to show off your wedding photographs. It’s small, chic and rugged and is the perfect portable solution to showcasing the images from your beautiful day. That is why all Wedding 2.0 Packages will include an album and other tangible items along with an iPad… or two ;)

Weddings 2.0 The Apple iPad for wedding photography

With that, I present to you Weddings 2.0 The new era of wedding photography has arrived and you have seen it right here first at Paramour Photography.

This wedding package will be available for all new clients of ours. Contact the studio at (716) 491-8854 for more information. I already have one already pre-ordered and will be able to show it off at client meetings come April 4th. So be sure to check it out and see all the crazy stuff that we will be doing with it. I can’t give everything away on the blog ;)

Enjoy!

So I was watching Extreme Makeover: Home Edition today and had quite the revelation.

If you didn’t know, today’s episode featured a local family. Watching it really made me realize how amazing Buffalo is. You may often hear me complain about our long winters, or our horrible football team but I really do love it here and it’s the things like this (and the Buffalo Wings) that make me grateful to be a “Buffalonian”. It’s where Becky and I were born and raised and I am really happy to say that. Today’s episode of Extreme Makeover really hit me. I wasn’t surprised to hear this that this episode in Buffalo had a RECORD SETTING amount of volunteers and support. More than 6,300 people spent 53,544 hours fixing homes, landscaping properties, planting trees, building community gardens and all that good stuff. Our community impressed the show’s producers so much that they made it a special 2 hour episode. Leave it to Buffalo to go above and beyond the call of duty.

Buffalo is far from perfect, but our community is what makes it the best place to be. We come together when duty calls and it makes us all stronger.

So yeah, this post has absolutely nothing to do with photography so please forgive me for my ramblings. “Stay Classy Buffalo”
