End of year schedule

Wow what an amazing year it has been and by the looks of it next year will be even better. I still have to blog about a few more weddings by the end of this year so hopefully I can finish the edits and post them up.

As this holiday season is fast approaching us I have decided to limit the number of appointments I will be making before the end of the year, for those that are still sitting on the fence now is the time to call me.

As of December 10, 2007 I will not be making any new appointments until January 7, 2008. Sorry folks but I need some me time, and most of all to spend a relaxing holiday season with my family.

I still have a few remaining dates available for 2008 so if you haven’t decided yet, well that is bad, make it quick. As of today I still haven’t open my 2009 calendar yet so all dates are still available so keep an eye on my blog to find out when I will be accepting 2009 weddings. I’ll give you all a hint are you ready, roses, chocolates and hearts oh my…. :-)

Angela and Jimmy Phat Greek Wedding

All I can say is WOW what an awesome wedding this was. I had a hard time selecting the images for the blog on this one. Since I had a hard time I ended up putting close to 50 images from this weeding on my new yummy website under Gallery 1, so why don’t ya head on over and check out Christos yummy website and some fun images from this wedding.

This wedding was held at Floral Terrace in Floral Park. The music was provided by non other then Power Station Orchestra and singing was the man Yanni Papastefanou. Ok enough with that let’s get to some pictures.

My favorite picture is the first one, This image was captured the moment after the brides dad put her shoes on. The emotions in this image are unreal filled with tears of joy.

What is going on today

Have you started noticing anything different regarding my website? Well maybe not, since my current site is flash based, and not to mention my uber new site is flash based as well. I do have an underlying HTML site that is used frequently by clients. No I won’t be whacking that stuff off, after all I need it since a lot of the pages have been indexed and they are my entry pages for links.
What has changed is the color scheme of the HTML site in preparation for the new site. So have no fear everything will still be there. I don’t have a launch date for the new site yet but take advantage of the upgrade on your print credit. Don’t know what I mean, well you should be reading my blog more often then :-).

On a side note I would like to send out some blog love to John Kapaniris, a wedding photographer in Sydney. Check out Kapa’s blog for his latest entry and congratulate him on his image making it to the finals in a competition. Way to go John.

New website coming soon

As I mentioned in a previous post, I will be implementing a new website over the next couple of weeks. I was anticipating a launch date of September 1 2007, but I realized that I will be photographing a Greek wedding in Montreal Canada that weekend. I haven’t yet finalized the launch date yet, so it will be either the week after my return or the week prior.

The new site will be uber cool by putting emphasis on larger and cooler images. So keep checking out the blog to find out when the launch date will be, in the meantime here are a couple of screen shots for you. Oh yeah mention this and receive an additional one hundred dollar print credit towards your package. This print credit can be used toward any of the products I carry. This offer is good only till I launch the new site.

The new landing page.

And here is the main site. Cool, I’m so stocked (just in case you don’t know what i mean)

Christos as a Simpson

I’ve often wondered what I would have looked like if I was a Simpson. I’m serious don’t laugh, just ask my wife.
Well the wait is now finally over, without further delay I introduce to you Christos Simpson. LOL.
Ok I would like to add that the squishy should actually be a frappe.

Album Day

As I was sitting here enjoying the time with my family during holy week, the door bells rings. It happened to be Mr. FedEx, with six weddings albums. I always feel like a kid in a candy store when I open these albums and look at them. Then I say to my self, wow I’m sure my Greek brides will love them. One of my brides decided to against the grain and not order a storybook flush mount album, instead she wanted the matted albums. She was right, this album is absolutely stunning wrapped in Napa leather. In all I forgot how beautiful the matted album’s really are. So I’ll be preparing another order of a sample album for myself.  So folks here they are a couple of quick snaps for you.
