Finally...Whew!

Saturday, 26 September 2009 04:16 by leticia

Geez...I've had so many family emergencies come up that I was a week or so behind on getting Ciara and Randal's wedding package together to send to them. I worked on their Coffee Table Book for 3-4 days at the hospital as I sat and waited with Roselie and Finesse...and then when I go to Upload the book to the Book Company...I couldn't, Aaargh! Finally got it to work after a few days or so, meanwhile I was making her DVD Slideshow set to music and putting all 1,000+ edited images on a CD for her. And waited to get her choices for her 8x10's and 5x7's and threw in an additional 8x10, since I was a bit behind getting her her package. But This morning I finally got a response from Ciara of the images that she would like enlarged and so I placed those orders, and then 10 minutes later...The UPS Guy delivered our Coffee Table Books, Yay! (I ordered one for myself) So I will go pick up the enlargements in a sec. and get that package out to them A.S.A.P (By the way the Book is Gorgeous...I think she will be thrilled) Go check out Ciara and Randal's full wedding story images on my website... 

Ciara and Randal thank you so much for your patience and understanding!

Warmest Wishes,

Leticia

Sneak Peek at Ciara & Randal's Port Gamble Wedding

Monday, 17 August 2009 20:55 by leticia
This wedding was Amazing to Shoot! Started off at "The Salon and Spa on Gamble Bay" and the Ceremony was at "Hood Canal Vista Pavilion" was Such a Gorgeous location with a lovely backdrop, and the town was SO, SO, SO Cute! All the businesses were inside Quaint Little Old Houses. And the "Buena Vista Cemetery" Shots that the Bride and Groom requested...turned out pretty cool, I was going for Classy, Elegant yet Creative. We loved The town of Port Gamble so much that we went back the next day ( as tired as I was) to experience the town again this time we just had to let  our 18 year old daughter experience it as well, we knew she would get a kick out of The Tea Room, where Adam and I had eaten lunch the day before, we literally ate the last of their Clam Chowder...we tried to order it again the next day, and they told us that we had eaten the last of it the day before...we thought that was funny!  While we were eating lunch before the wedding, the previous day... 2 Tea Room guests were telling us about the Charm bracelets that you can collect from all of the businesses in town...so we definately knew we had to bring Finesse (our daughter) a chain from the Antique store and get her started with a charm from the tea room, so we did we knew she would love the idea of coming back the next day with us, to collect all of the Town charms...So now we both have Beautiful matching  Mother/Daughter charm bracelets, that we wear all of the time. It was so much fun...we spent like 5-6 hours eating, shopping, walking around, taking pics. and eating again before we left. I was right... Finesse loved the town as much as we did. Can't wait to go back and bring our Parents this time.

To See video footage of this ceremony visit my YouTube chanel at: http://www.youtube.com/Leticiawilson

I thought this video would be helpful for any Beginning Wedding Photographers...When I first started shooting weddings, I remember looking for videos online so that I could see a photographer in action...to see where it was okay to stand, how close to get to the couple, what type of cameras/equipment to carry, flash no flash, But I was unable to find very many videos, that focused on the Photographer. So I hope this video will be helpful to anyone who is getting ready to shoot their first wedding...Feel free to contact me with any questions you may have ; )

Ciara and Randal,
I just wanted to take this time to Thank you for allowing me to capture your Beautiful, Magical Day...I loved the venue you chose "Hood Canal Vista Pavilion" is one of my favorite venues now. And the town is just SO SO SO Cute. Ciara you looked Amazing in your Dress, I really enjoyed your MOH Tara...she was a joy to be around, and had lots of cool ideas...and I must say your guests were the most respectful guests I have ever worked around...they kept asking if it was okay to stand behind me and take photos? or Is it okay to take this shot after you? They made sure they were not getting in my way...Just very, very respectful guests! I hope you all are having a great honeymoon....Okay back to working on your images now ;)

February 19, 2009 Daniel and Kasandra's 4th Anniversary

Friday, 13 February 2009 01:16 by leticia
Daniel and Kasandra have been married for 4 years now...and they are doing really really good, I am proud of them! And they have given me 2 beautiful Glama Girls, whom I adore! For their Anniversary I did not get them one of the gifts that I had planned on getting them...But I don't want to tell them what it is because I want to get it next year. So what I did get Kasandra is what she has been dying to have...The complete 7 seasons of The Gilmore Girls. It took me 2 weeks to burn all 42 discs. I Love the picture of her holding up the DVD's...you can really see the happiness in her eyes. We got Daniel a gift from "Things Remembered" a really cool sterling silver pen and clock for his night stand or desk, it lights up when you touch it and shows the time, temperature, stop watch, date and other stuff that I can't remember and each time you touch it is lights up in different colors, red, green, blue, purple. We had his name engraved "Daniel Rey Garcia" and the date " February 19, 2009" The pen stands in its spot magnetically. It was really really cool...He liked it. Adam wanted one for himself. We got the girls scratch and sniff books. Danyels was about camping, because she says she wants to go camping with me and Kasidy's is about a Candy Factory. They loved their gifts too. I babysat the girls while they went out to dinner and a movie! Sounds like they had a very nice time.

We are very proud of you Wink, Love Mom and Dad
