Your Are Invited! Guest Speaking at "Doing Social Media RIGHT"

Zach & I are excited to be a part of a great event that we hope will really educate, encourage and enable other vendors to keep their businesses current with the continually changing times.

Ever wonder how a certain vendor tends to have a huge following or online presence or everyone seems to know about them, which in turn drives more business to them? What's the trick? What's the secret? What are they doing that you are not?

Come to Doing Social Media RIGHT, brought to you by A Magical Affair.

We live in such changing times and the success to your business staying alive is the ability to adapt.

Christine Boulton (speaker at Doing Social Media Right) from Think Like A Bride, sent us the link to the below video and we wanted to share it with you all. Just a little something to make you think...



We live in a time & age where technology is not only abounding but exploding... are you keeping up?

Speaking, Yale & The Cutest Dog Ever

We are back home in Nashville and it's funny to think that we were just in CT yesterday! We had a great visit with friends & fantabulous photographers Justin & Mary (who are some of the most awesome Connecticut wedding photographers you will ever meet!), and of course with their super cute dog Cooper, and also had such a great time at their PUG.

Like we had mentioned, we were scheduled to speak at Justin & Mary's photographer group they head up and it was really great. We had a blast meeting other photographers and talking & sharing ideas. Their PUG is HUGE and the place was packed out. Head on over to Justin & Mary's blogsite to read about the evening and to see some pics that were taken.



We stayed late at the PUG talking with everyone and hanging out. Finally, as the crowd diminished, we ordered some Chinese for the last few CT photographers still standing!!



During our visit to Connecticut, we also got to walk around Yale University! Mary graduated from Yale Law and so we got the special tour including peeping into the Harry Potter looking cafeteria... sorry, no pics of that...

Car ride there in their cute Mini-Cooper...

My YUMMY paninni at this cool bookstore/cafe that we ate lunch at...


Yale.... I feel smart just looking at this picture...



This is the secret society building featured in film THE SKULLS. . .. no windows... locks on the doors... SCARY!






This is the main gathering area where graduation is held...


This cracked us up, especially Zach! Now THAT's a good bike lock!


And of course we have to show Justin & Mary's super cute and well-trained dog, Cooper. Isn't he precious??



We had such a great time and can't wait to visit again... Thanks for reading!!

We Have Arrived! Speaking & a Photoshoot in Conneticut!

As I slowly started waking up this morning, I realized my bed didn't feel how it normally feels, and wait, my pillow feels different too... "We're not in Kansas - I mean - Nashville anymore..." That's right - we're in Connecticut!

A few months ago Zach and I were invited out to this great state (29th most populated state with 3.4 million residents, thank-you Wikipedia) by some of the coolest cats in the photography world - Justin & Mary Marantz! These guys are great people and have fantastic work and we're looking forward to the next 2.5 days hanging here with them!



Our time here will consist of chillin', talking shop, Justin & Mary want to do a photo shoot of us, and on Wednesday we will be speaking at their photography group they lead. We're excited for this trip and it's nice to hand out in a new city with some new friends!

As soon as we stepped off the plane we experienced exciting & magical things (see video below) and we know only more exciting things are to come... ha ha ha... Seriously, check out this video... We have never seen anything like it before... or maybe we've just been deprived. :)
