Yay, we’ve just gotten word that the photos we submitted to WeddingWire  have been selected for Best Wedding Pic’s! If you use WeddingWire (which is a very valuable resource btw) you may come across more DiasPhotos as part of their permanent website.

Here we are, Monday morning.  I hope you all had a happy Valentine’s Day, celebrating love!  This is going to be a good week!  What positive things are you going to make happen?  There’s much beauty out there, here’s something to think about; today’s quote comes from Allan K. Chalmers

The Grand essentials of happiness are: something to do, something to love, and something to hope for.

This is my latest and greatest e-session.   The idea was inspired by another photographer, whose name I can’t remember and blog I can’t find.  If anyone knows who I’m talking about, give them a link in the comment box!  The idea was to tell the story of an engagement using pictures, only I was looking for a well articulated narrative.  Hopefully I did that; let me know what you think!  : )  Just as a reminder:  We offer FREE engagement sessions, no obligation, no purchase necessary.  Meet us, see how we work and get your picture taken!  I should say though, we have limited availability so if you’re interested, call us now 617.930.4632 or email Edson@DiasPhoto.com

We’re happy to share that we are now renting Photo Booths for weddings!  Our rates are competitive and you can trust that you’ll have the same quality and customer service with DiasPhoto.  Photo booths are really fun and such an easy way to add some excitement to your wedding.  Just like a traditional photo booth, simply step in, strike your pose, push the button, and 4, 3, 2, 1!! The booth takes four photos with 3 second intervals in between each photo.  The best part – you get to see each photo immediately after they are taken on an LCD screen located in the booth. That may help you plan your next pose.  After you have taken your four photos, simply step out of the booth and instantly you get a 4 x 6 print of your memories!  If you decide, you can get two copies of each 4 x 6 print. One for you and one for your guests.

For those of you planning on buying roses for a loved one this weekend, you should consider donating to WBUR.  Send your Valentine roses from Winston Flowers and WBUR. When you do, you’ll also be supporting Boston’s NPR® news station and the important work it performs every day.  As I contributing member, I was allowed a tour of the radio station last week.  It was so interesting; I was engaged and in awe of how much goes into the production of the radio shows that many of us listen to.  I was so inspired that I will actually be volunteering as a phone operator.  Listen for DiasPhoto’s on air mention this morning!  Here are a few photos from the studio tour

Happy Monday Morning folks!  For those of you in love, planning a wedding or already married… maybe you could spontaneously call that person and tell them you love them.  Sometimes the words “I love you” get diluted because we say it so much, when ever we hang up the phone or when someone leaves.  Despite the truth in the meaning of it, it doesn’t carry as much weight as a random “I love you”  Try it and let me know how that goes for you  : )  Here’s today’s quote:

“For it was not into my ear you whispered, but into my heart. It was not my lips you kissed, but my soul.” – Judy Garland

Anyone out there LOVE photos, LOVE socializing with friends, LOVE getting out of the house on a boring Thursday night!?  The Photographic Resource Center at B.U. (PRC) is hosting a PhotoSLAM.  It’s kind of a poetry slam, but with photos instead.  I’ll be there showing 5 of my favorite photos along with a bunch of other PRC members and photographers.  The crowd gets to vote on who has the best photos by cheering.  Noisiest photo wins! 

The PRC website states “Clear your schedules, photo enthusiasts—it’s time for another PRC PhotoSLAM! The PhotoSLAM is a digital slide show of ALL submitted photographs—a showcase of the talent within the PRC membership… bring your friends and narrate your entries the day of the slam; and make as much noise as you can to help select the winners.

This event fills up every time they have it so get there early.  Here’s the info:

If you’re planning a wedding, definitely check out WeddingWire, they’re a great resource largely because of their vendor reviews.

“Love is composed of a single soul inhabiting two bodies.” – Aristotle

Happy Monday morning folks!  I like this quote because it makes me think of souls and love in a greater way.  Each of us has our own soul, but does love have it’s own?  Or, do we really become one in love and marriage?  Hmmm.  Anyway… what do you think?

This is a photo I took at the Burning Man art festival in the Black Rock Desert, Nevada in 2004.

Yay!  Our Happiness or Bust photo has been featured on a new local wedding blog, check it out, BeantownBride.com
