I had the great pleasure of being a part of Margaret and Andy’s wedding on Oct. 16th.  It was a small, intimate wedding, comprised mostly of family and some very close friends.  It was a very relaxed, pleasant sort of fall wedding.  Just the kind I like…

The ceremony was at Our Lady of the Valley Catholic Church, and the reception was held at the beautiful Elkhorn View Bed and Breakfast.  The food was provided by Benny’s Bistro, and it was amazing, as usual!

And now, on to a few of my favorites from the day…  Hope you enjoy, and feel free to leave any comments!

I just wanted to say thank yo to everyone who stopped by our booth at the Helena Wedding Showcase on Sunday.  We had a great time talking with you all, and we look forward to working with some of you soon!

Our Fusion video got a great response from you all, just like we had hoped.  We were really sold on the concept, and we are so excited to be able to share it with you! 

Tons of you got the chance to sign up for our iPod Nano giveaway, and I know you are all eagerly waiting to find out who won…  Sometime later this week we will be able to draw a name and we will post the winner here on the blog.  So keep checking back to see if you’ve won! 

Finally, be on the lookout for our updated website.  We are working like crazy to get it done as soon as possible, but it always takes more time than we think.  We can’t wait to debut it though, so hopefully you’ll see that coming very soon.

Thanks again!

Just wanted to post a couple things quickly:

#1 - Please come see us at the Helena Wedding Showcase on the 18th!  We’d love to see you…  Which leads to #2…

#2 - We’re going to be giving away an iPod nano at the Showcase!  You have to come to the booth to register, but you don’t have to be present to win…

#3 - Janna’s schedule is completely booked through the end of the year.  She isn’t taking any more sessions until after New Years at this point, but you can get on a list for a cancellation if  you want… But don’t wait!

#4 - I am very nearly booked through the end of the year as well…  I have a couple of openings left for sessions, but that’s it.  So, if you are wanting pictures done in 2009, time is short.  Just trying to give y’all heads up!

#5 - Just a reminder that November 15th is the cutoff for orders if you want them in time for Christmas…

#6 - Just a friendly reminder that dates are filling up quickly for the 2010 wedding season.  Don’t want anyone to get left out!  Remember, we need a signed contract and a retainer from you in order to hold your date!

#7 - Well, I just thought that an good list should have an odd number of things on it, so here ya go!

Any questions?  Email me at chris@rebophotography.com or call at 406.439.0944

I just thought I’d add one of my shots from the session Janna posted below…  Hope you enjoy it!

So, after all the hinting and the teasing, I’m thrilled to announce our new service…  Fusion Video!  We love that we are able to offer this to you, and we think you will love it as well!  As far as we know, we are the first wedding studio in Montana to be offering this, and we are excited to be leading the way.

I’m sure most of you have a few questions…  To get a visual of just what we are talking about, we’ve put together a trailer that shows the concept.  We will have a full video that will be debuting at the upcoming Helena Wedding Showcase (See, you need to come!)  So, check out the trailer…  Details after.

Ok, so now you want to know how this is all done?  Well, our cameras are capable of capturing full High Definition video clips.  We capture those clips throughout the day, and then take those, along with the best pictures from the day, and produce a Fusion video for you!  So, for the 2010 wedding season Janna Beecher will be joining me as the 2nd photographer, which allows us the flexibility needed to do the video aspect, as well as giving you that many more stellar images.

I hope this gives you an idea of the concept.  We have a full length video from a more recent wedding that will really showcase what we can do with this format.  Like I mentioned above, that will be debuting at the Helena Wedding Showcase, October 18th, at the Helena Red Lion Colonial Hotel.

I want to give a shout out to Tony Martin from Focal Point Graphic Design.  We’ve partnered with him to develop this concept, and the results have been great.  I don’t have the time available to really learn the ins and outs of video production, so Tony came alongside us and is going to handle the production aspects, and you may even see him at a wedding or two in 2010…  His work on this is has been an integral part of making this a reality, and we couldn’t do it without him!

So, that’s the big news!  We hope you are as excited about it as we are.  Please come visit us at the Wedding Showcase to really see how these videos shine.  I know we kinda put out a little teaser…  But we really want you to be able to see a finished, high quality version in person.  So much better than a little web resolution version!  Look forward to seeing you all there!

Oh, and we’d love to hear your thoughts on this, so please feel free to leave some feedback in the comments.  Thanks!

Chris
