Another busy weekend. I had 2 weddings this past weekend. I am moving a bit slow today. I just received an email from one of the web sites I advertise on. They are having a contest and you can win wedding bands.
OneWed is awarding one lucky reader the ultimate prize to get in on the trend of proposing to her man- a pair of hand engraved Platinum wedding bands from jewelry designer Kirk Kara, worth approximately $5,000! Here is the web site. http://www.onewed.com/blog/savvy-scoop/2009/06/17/pop-platinum-proposal. Good Luck Ladies!

What a weekend! GO PENS!!!!!!!
Saturday I had a wedding at a local church here in Brookline. The bride & groom have a toy poodle. You would have thought it was his day. He was in all the pictures at the house. He even had his own tux. Well it was a tux shirt. Very cute. I got to work with 2 of my favorite vendors Michael Whitlinger Designs a couple doors done from me and the other was Dawn Brennan owner of DMB Videography. The reception was at the Radisson in Greentree. The food was one of the best wedding meals I have ever had. The bride and groom choose No Bad JuJu for their band. No Bad JuJu rocked the house. They had everyone up dancing. I even stayed till they were done playing. I usually leave after the garter and bouquet. I just couldn't walk away. I will post some photos as soon as I can. I am still downloading them.
Sunday I was at a wedding show at Heinz museum. It was a neat venue. I wish I had time to check it all out. I told my husband we have to go there sometime and check it out.

Summer is coming to an end and my favorite time of year is starting; fall. I have been very busy with weddings and adjusting to having the studio. What a difference! I've now been in the studio for 6 months and have booked 20 weddings (and counting). Since moving in I placed ads in a couple of publications. Last month HK Photo Studio was featured in the Greentree Times with an article and a photo. That was very exciting. Next month I have a full page ad which will appear in the Perfect Wedding Guide. It is a free guide to help you plan your wedding. There are vendors, tips for planning, and a place to keep track of your budget for everything from photography to gifts for your bridal party. The best part is it fits right in your purse. You can find a copy in the front of your local grocery store or visit their web site at www.perfectweddingguide.com. Enjoy!

A couple of weeks ago I visited some friends in Colorado. On one of the days we went to Estes Park where we rode on a cable car to the top of the mountain. That was a little scary because unlike the incline, we weren't near the ground and the car was much higher up! When you arrive at the top, it is customary to buy a bag of peanuts, find a place to sit and let the chipmunks come up to you and take the peanuts right out of your hand. It was amazing! The day before I left I visited my other friend that I went to high school with. She and her husband have a farm. They have 11 cows and one baby cow. I got to feed the baby a bottle. That was very cool.
