Coonradt Wedding Album Completed!

Whoooooooooo Hoooooooooooo! (I do that everytime I finish a 5 hour wedding album :)

We always have a lot of fun hanging out with the bride and groom on their wedding day, and it’s always amazing to relive the excitement of what it feels like to get married. I know I say this in every blog entry, but we had a blast shooting the wedding of Sherman and Nicole this past Fall, and thought they were awesome to work with (I guess I say this so much because I really enjoy working with our clients!)

Anyway, it was a beautiful wedding, and we have completed the album that will forever hold their memories from the day. Thanks for being so easy to work with guys, and we hope you enjoy your album! You can check out a sample of Sherm & Nicole’s wedding album by clicking the link below!

P.S. I got tired of the same ol’ wedding music we always use, so decided to go with something a little different for this one – make sure you turn those speakers up!!!

More Homes for Sale!

Today was a good day, and had the opportunity to hang out with Jason Ordon from Remax Realty, and shoot a few properties up in the Broadalbin and Sacandaga Lake area. Jason’s a great realtor and salesman, and we’ve had a lot of fun photographing some of his many properties to help them sell quicker….. not many realtors offer their clients free photography of their home inside & out, and think it’s really creative what he’s doing.

Anyway, I’m still warming up from being out on the lake today – Brrrrrrr! I’m off to get something hot for dinner, but make sure you check back tomorrow as we may have another wedding album presentation to share! (hint, hint)

P.S. You can check out Jason’s website by visiting http://www.jasonordon.com

Building a Team of Photographers!

As business has rapidly grown over these past few years, we are finding quickly that we turn away more clients due to being overbooked than ever before! In efforts to offset for this as well as meet the demands of all client budgets, we are looking for a select few photographers to join our growing business & team.

For obvious reasons, we are looking for experienced/educated photographers that are equally as passionate about photography as we are, and have interest in taking their photography to the next level as an associate photographer. If anyone is interested in learning more about the program, feel free to email us directly at either of the email addresses below, and we can set up an interview!

matt@mattramosphotography.com
tonya@mattramosphotography.com

Hands on training will be provided, and we will gladly go over further details with those we meet with – thanks!!!

New Photo of the Week!

I’m really looking forward to tomorrow, as we are meeting with 3 new potential clients to discuss their upcoming weddings. In a strange way, I almost enjoy the opportunity to have these meetings where I can get to know the bride & groom, more than shooting the actual wedding itself. Weddings are a huge event to plan when you think about it, and I always find it interesting to see how different couples handle their stress levels and checklist of all that needs to get done. I’ve learned through experience, that those couples that learn to sorta “go with the flow” and keep more relaxed through the whole process, ususally tend to have a smoother, more fun wedding than those that try to perfect every litting detail. I’m certainly not knocking those that like to plan to perfection – this is just a general observation that I find interesting. Food for thought for those that may be planning an upcoming wedding :)

Anyway, due to the busy day tomorrow, I decided to get the photo of the week done a bit early so I don’t forget! This photo is without a doubt another one of my favorite images that I actually took when I was in High School …. I suppose I was a photographer in the making at that point? Anyway, it was shot at a place called Sylvan Lake, which lies a couple miles behind Mt. Rushmore of the Black Hills of South Dakota. As a world traveler, I can honestly say that the states of South Dakota and Wyoming are probably two of the most underestimated states we have. When I first moved to New York, I got made fun of for growing up in such a place, but for those that ever had doubt….. here’s proof of how amazing it is there!

Anyway, I’m now rambling, and off to bed! Hope you enjoy this week’s photo of the week!

Adam - “…South Dakota and Wyoming are probably two of the most underestimated states we have.”

Funny, I feel like I heard that somewhere before. Maybe right after I returned from my trip there. Sylvan Lake is definitely a worthy stop on any road trip out there.January 27, 2007 – 5:00 pm

Matt Ramos - There’s two! I guess they say wherever you go, “one man’s home is another man’s vacation,” right?January 27, 2007 – 7:35 pm

Think You’re Stressed?

Weddings are supposed to be a ton of fun when planned right, and one of the best days of the bride & grooms life. While things can sometimes become stressful with all the anticipation of the big day, this video will give you a good laugh of what not to let happen! Make sure you watch til the very end….. You won’t believe your eyes!

By the way…. I found this clip on YouTube – this was not something we shot or anything. YIKES!!!

P.S. I don’t know who would have had it worse in this situation…. the photographer or the groom :)
