YMCA Holiday Portraits Fundraiser

Today was the YMCA Holiday Portraits Fundraiser at the Pine Orchard Yacht and Country Club. We had a good number of families come by for a quick holiday portrait with all proceeds going toward the Soundview YMCA and the building of the new YMCA in Branford.

We had a great natural backdrop. Everyone was able to see their photo right there and plenty of orderes were placed!

Kelley and I took the opportunity to take our holiday portrait by setting the camera on the tripod and running in front of it! Happy holidays to all! We hope everyone had a family filled, and turkey filled, Thanksgiving.

Melissa & Matt!

I photographed Melissa and Matt's engagement session not that long ago. And now here's their wedding! There was one big difference between the two days, besides the obvious ones. We had a high of 32 degrees for their wedding! It was the coldest day of the year. The wind didn't help either, especially when Melissa almost lost her wrap off the bridge! The wedding was at the Lake of Isles at Foxwoods Casino. While Melissa was getting ready, Matt and company were at the craps tables.

What a view from the Grand Pequot Tower.

Good catch Matt! That wrap was almost gone for good.




Melissa and Matt had a comic book that was special to them. They contacted the person who drew it and got the last copies of the book. They wrapped everyones name and table number around them for the reception.




















This has been wedding announcement #179!

Everything is FIXED!

So in an effort to fix some DNS settings for rephotodesign.net, I threw off more than I thought. If you were trying rephotodesign.net today, it wasn't there. You also noticed all the photos on this blog are missing. Guess where those are hosted! On .net. Also if you were trying to sign up for the YMCA event, that wasn't working either.

As of 5:30pm this evening, everything is working! What happened was, basically, that my server company does not like certain changes made to your url settings with a certain other company. So I went back in and put everything back to the way is was when it was working. The thing about making these changes is that it doesn't happen instantly. It could take a few hours to change. The last 20 hours I thought I was waiting for the change to happen, when it was just the server not liking the change. Lesson learned.

So everything is working... the YMCA signup page, images on this blog, and most importantly rephotoesign.net
