Open House - Photo Booth

As promised we are going to post some of our favorites from the Photo Booth. (We had 841 images taken in about four hours, so we had a hard time choosing.) I removed all of the photos the Front Room employees and spouses for showing the best of... I will add all of our silly photos in another post. There are also a lot of them that need to be shared.

We did vote and found our favorite, but I wanted to show our favs and get your feedback:













Thank you all for a great night. We had an absolute blast.

Award

I was pretty shocked to open up our mail and find this award. Our wonderful clients nominated Front Room as: "The Knot Best of Weddings 2008 Pick"

We really appreciate all the love.

Happy V-Day

So, this is a strange day for us. In that Valentine's is hard for us not to be cheesey. But we do have some great clients, so we love you all. Our dreams are coming true because of you...

I wanted to say thank you to everyone by offering a one day give away. I will offer one gift certificate for a portrait to anyone that emails me today. Just send me an email neil@frphoto.com. Tell me you name, phone, and address; and I will send out a gift certificate for a portrait.

Simple enough, please smile and tell someone that you love them.

Sam

One of our clients, Sam McGovern-Rowen is running for Alderman (or alderperson) as one might say. He is really a great guy that is working hard to help the community. I know that most people have a general distrust of politicians, but he is one of the few that actually cares more about the people, then getting his name is the papers.

He is having a rally Tuesday night at Turner Hall. His Grandfather, Senator George McGovern will be there to show his support. Please check out his website and a take a look at who he is. If you believe in him like I do, please go and show your support. You can see all the details about him on his website: votesam08.org

Swing Dancing

We have such amazing clients. They are so passionate about each other and life. Their passion for what they do, energizes me in my life.

Yesterday Maureen and Stephanie came in to talk to us, and after about an hour and a half we said "good bye", but I think we could have spoken all night.

I love to dance, although my technique is pretty bad.

Maureen is a swing dance instructor for Jumpin' Jive Club. She is amazing at what she does and seems to be a psuedo match maker in class. So many of her couple have gotten married. Well she teaches swing at the Milwaukee Ale House on Tuesdays and each first friday of each month at KC Hall.

I would highly suggest that all of you that want to take some dance lessons before your wedding check her out. More so, dancing is so much about listening to your partner, this might be the best therapy for a marriage.

If you have any questions or need more info, please give Maureen a call 262-54swing or look for details on her website jumpinjiveclub.com.

Grandpa

As those of you have been faithfully reading this blog know, there has been a lot of loss this year. Each of us has lost an individual that has meant very much to us in the past year.

In every situation we encounter, we try to find the positive in the negative. When we heard that one of our bride's grandfather's was not doing well, we decided to do what we could while we still could. These are the results. I want to thank Miguel and Carmen for opening their home to me and Juan for sitting for me. I hope his family will treasure these images.

We're grateful to have an opportunity to channel those emotions into something very special for a member of the Front Room Family.

"Thank You Eron that is a very generous gesture! A portrait of grandpa would be wonderful!"

Will is back

Marisa and Will were married last June 24th. He is in the military and was sent back for his third tour right after they we married. We just got an email from Marisa that he is home and safe with his love.

We are very excited to have him safe. They are amazing couple the have such great passion for each other. They have inspired all of us at Front Room to love our family a little more.

Welcome home Will, you were missed.

Friday

Everyone loves a Friday afternoon, and mine was made today be receiving this email:

"just wanted to say thank you to neil for our beautiful photos. i couldn't even wait to get them in frames and on the walls, they look wonderful! i could stare at my children all day. and thanks to you for capturing their personalities in images i will be able to gaze at forever!!

thanks again and we'll be seeing you again,
gretchen"

People always wonder how and why we are so passionate; well when we have clients that make us feel this good, how can we not be so in love with what we do.

Smiles to all and have a great weekend.
