Opportunity for Stardom?

Hey! I just got a call from Jennifer with MTV Networks asking for help in casting for one of their reality series. They're looking for "about to be" or just married couples for a reality show they have. Here is the info she gave me. If you think you fit the bill, drop me a line at robert@weddingsbyrobert.com and I will pass along your info or put you in touch with Jennifer.

From MTV:

Are you and your fiancé about to begin life as a married couple? Going from engagement to the altar is an exciting journey full of challenges that test the strength of your relationship. From the bouquet toss on, MTV wants to follow your story as you and your fiance head out on the road to married life.

Do you consider yourself the next Nick & Jessica? Maybe you have a "less than traditional" romance. Have you planned a fairytale wedding to your sweetheart? Perhaps you are a traditional couple who've waited to have sex until their wedding night. Will you be moving in together for the first time after the honeymoon? Maybe you're nervous about the new challenges that come with being a newlywed. What are you looking forward to and what surprises await?

Popular 2009 date now available!!!

I have probably recieved more requests for November 21st, 2009 than any other date this year. I had booked the date but the couple ended up cancelling so it's up for grabs. If you think you might want this prime '09 date, let me know and we'll get started down the path towards booking.

Seeking: Janurary/February/March Weddings!!!

As I have previously mentioned, 2009 is shaping up to be a very busy, albeit strange year. I am slammed solid for the 2nd half of the year (read: if you're looking to book the last 3rd of 09, do it soon) but the first 3 months are surprisingly sparse. I can't complain at all about my overall booking numbers so far for 2009 but I would LOVE to get some last minute bookings for the next few months and am prepared to have a "sale" to do it. If you are last minute shopping, I promise you that I will make you an offer you can't refuse. Drop me a line, tell me about your warm, Florida winter wedding plans and I will tell you how you can take photography off your to do list.

Holiday wishes and schedule!

I want to wish all of you a wonderful holiday season. Like most of you, I will be taking plenty of family time over the next couple weeks. This will impact production and turn-around time. If you have projects currently in production, any edits or book designs in progress, and you have any immediate needs, let me know. I have been and will continue to honor all special requests. I know many of you want images to use a presents and such and every effort is being made to get those to you. Otherwise I will do my best to keep working when I can and get you your images/books/discs as soon as possible. To all my 2008 couples, a sincere thank you for allowing me to have my best year ever. All I do is because of you and the fact that I have gotten to work with, and be inspired by so many this year is a privilege. I can only hope 2009 is just as great!

From my family to your's, may these days be filled with love, laughter and of course, fun.

Mini-sites and a GREAT offer!

Hey ya'll. First of all, hope everyone is going to have a great turkey-day. I just wanted to let you know about, or remind you that some things are very different in my new "mini-sites" that each of you now get with your wedding photo package. These mini-sites are personal, private and very cool. They give you your own URL to send people to and you get to bypass my main site, not that you'd want to :) One other really cool thing about these sites is that you now have the ability to create a "log-in" for the mini-site and save a set of favs and order prints.

To promote these new features, effective immediately, I will be offering every existing or future couple the chance to earn credit towards ordering prints for themselves. During the first 90 days your mini-site is online, every $100 in orders will earn the bride and groom $30 in print credits. If your site is already online, I will start counting that 90 days from today.

Obviously, you (the bride and groom) can order prints for yourselves and just get that $30 off but I really want to encourage your friends and family to take advantage of this opportunity to not only get some great keepsake prints for themselves, but also to help you earn credits you can use to get the little "extras" (or big 20x30 canvas print) you want for yourselves.
