Free Dr. Pepper

 Ok, so here is a little story I came across.  Dr. Pepper made a little wager with Guns and Roses.  Since GnR have always delayed the release of their albums Dr.  Pepper said  that if the actually released it by the end of the 2008 they would give everyone in America 1 free 20 ounce Dr. Pepper.  So you can download a coupon from www.drpepper.com this Sunday.  It will only be available for download for 24 hours, so make sure you get it.  Coupons will be good until February of next year.

Published by Rangefinder Magazine

I participated in a fun shoot about a year ago and one of the images was published by rangefinder magazine.  It was atraveling  shovel that has been around the world.  If you check around my blog you may find the whole story. 

Here is the image.

Allyson and Chris

I thought I would put up a little more than the normal 3 images per wedding.   

Sunday Sunday Sunday

 Ok so I am just hangin out, watching tv.  I have been adding friends to my face book account pretty much all day.  I would be watching football, but Direct TV wants extra money for their HD football package.  They did not tell me that when I signed up, and the customer service representative was rude, so I am only watching the local games.  Anyway thats my day in a nutshell.  O here is a picture of me I found.  This is one of the first photos I ever took.  It is a self portrait, I took it with a camera, tri-pod and one speedlight that I has holding holding off to the right.

Reverend Travis Hill

Well, at a recent wedding one of the worst things that could happen did.  The guests were seated, the bride was waiting to walk down the isle.  The groom was nervously waiting in the back room ready to see his bride.  But wait… where the heck is the officiant?  Thats right, he was a no show.  How can you have a wedding ceremony with out someone to preform it?  Well, you can’t.  So needless to say there was a HUGE problem.  Luckily for everyone within a 5 mile radius the bride handled the situation amazingly!  She was very calm and collected.  We started making calls to trying to find an officiant, last minute, on a Sunday evening.  It wasn’t going very well.  So they decided to do the whole wedding thing in reverse.  So about halfway through the reception an officiant showed and preformed the ceremony.  But, wow, luck was really on their side that day.  I don’t know how they found one, but they did.  The ceremony was performed and everything was fine.  But things could have went worse.  Way worse.So thats when I decided to become an official ordained minister.  I can legally now  perform a wedding ceremony that is recognized by the state!  So we will never have to worry about a minister not showing up.  Because I will be there.  Reverend Travis Hill. 

By the way, this is not the secret. 

Huge Announcement Coming Soon!!!!

So I came up with an idea today.  It is kind of a secret right now.  I have emailed it to all of my past portrait clients.  An I will be announcing it within the next week or so.  It is a pretty big deal.  So keep checking back for more info.

First official newsletter

Hi everyone, today I sent out our first official newsletter.  I sent it out to a little over 400 people.  So far 110 people opened the it, and 2 people reported it as spam. (they don’t know what they are missing)  I am going to send them out only once a month, so I am not trying to flood your inbox with useless garbage.  I work all month on trying to deliver useful information that you can use.  I am also going to offer special deals and highlighted weddings.  (one that you may have attended)  I may even mention you!  I am thinking about putting in a guys section.  Since I am a guy, I know allot about guy stuff.  I have a pretty big network of people I talk to and I am always hearing the latest and greatest.  So hopefully you will find my monthly newsletter helpful and informative! If you would like to be added to the list just send me an email.  travis@theperfectpose.com 

Thanks everyone!
