Update

What have I been up to? Well, I just finished a photo book (gift, will share later) and am starting to work on a DVD montage for a wedding coming up in mid-November. I am also in the very early stages of two other books, both highlighting beautiful new babies in my "family" and can't wait to see all the photos I will have to work with that capture the first moments of joy for the new parents.

I would be curious to hear suggestions you have about ways to grow my business. Please e-mail me at memorabledesigns@gmail.com with any suggestions or if you'd like to have a discussion on the phone. I am always up for trying new things and hearing ideas from others. Enjoy the beautiful leaves of autumn this week!

Celebrating a Marriage

I recently finished working with a couple out in California to create a "through the years" video for their wedding. This was the first project where I did not meet either of them face-to-face. They sent me a CD of images as well as soome loose photos and e-mail copies. The groom's mother also sent a CD of childhood images she took the time to scan. The bride and groom were both great about getting back to me when I had questions and sending me notes about their final video.

If you watch their video, you will see some of the most scenic photos of the United States landscape. I learned that yes they do spend alot of time outdoors (as is evident by their photos) and many pictures were taken out west. They made me want to travel to the mountains sooner trather than later, that's for sure. I'm sure their wedding was beautiful!

Below is some feedback I received from the groom:

"Shannon, I just wanted to let you know how great the photo DVD turned out and how thrilled our friends and family were to see it. I really enjoyed working with you and I feel grateful to have chosen you and Memorable Designs to create our wedding video. You clearly set yourself apart by being exceptionally customer friendly -- I truly felt that you would have gone to any length to create a final product that we were satisfied with. Working with you on a virtual basis (from CA) was easy -- you provided great support on the phone, over email and posting the video's online. The photos you scanned for us turned out fantastic. I would absolutely recommend you to our friends and family. You did a great job from start to finish w/ great suggestions and you were very responsive. Thanks Again!"
