My Kate Parker Weddings Vendor Meet Up

New England’s first My Kate Parker meet up was a smash hit! Vendors from all over New England gathered to network and share in some good times. We started off the night with a little mingling and eating, thanks to some tasty treats from Wild Orchid ( My fav was the raspberry lemonade) Next we began our “speed dating” where we sat intimately close and had two minutes to tell the other person who and what we are, and then rotate. It got so loud because we were all laughing and having such a great time… two minutes was not enough time ;) This was all followed by some diner and drinks at the local pub. We got to meet some great people. The gals at Object Splendor decorated our fab meet up. And Sara Faella designed and created a beautiful head piece for Kate Parker to wear for the event. We would like to thank Boston University’s Center for Digital Imagining Arts for hosting the meet up and Kate and Liz from My Kate Parker for putting it all together. We would love to see more vendors at the next one!

Inspire Boston 2010, Amazing!

This week we attended and taught a class at Inspire Boston.  Inspire Boston is a mini conference for wedding photographers in the Boston / New England area that was put together by the most amazing friends of ours(Matt and Enna Grazier).  Just 3 months ago we sat with The Graziers and about 10 other studios from the Boston and CT area that helping in bringing this together. We have already seen several other photographers that attended Inspire Boston blog about how awesome it was. New England Wedding Photographers are a breed of there own. They have to cram the majority of their weddings into a very short wedding season (June-October) deal with less than ideal weather and sunlight. Then on top of it spend the off season in the snowy, dark, inspiration crushing winter. But NOT anymore INSPIRE BOSTON looks like it is here to stay and inspire during those miserable winter months.

Here is a video and photo account of the 2 day mini conference. Richard Esposito edited this video during the last day of Inspire Boston.  Myself(James) and Tony for Team Yu helped with capturing some video and images along with Richard so he could put this together.

Only way to stay inspired in the middle of this cold nasty New England winter is to spend time with more than 80 of the greatest people. 2 more would have made it perfect. (you know who you are, we love you guys, our prayers are with you and there will always be 2011)

Time to Give a Smile. (Please Read)

During the holiday season children look forward to receiving gifts from Santa. Problem is, Santa’s elves have been hit hard this past year and some have even lost their jobs. We have 3 little girls and want to see them happy and can’t imagine not seeing our girls smile on Christmas morning. The Toys for Tots Foundation has been making children smile since 1947, why not help them.

We will purchase and drop off toys with your help. It’s easy, and only costs you a few moments. But you need to act now as this ends December 19th 2009.
