On Your Mark....Get Set.....

Hi Everyone!!

So I hope that you're ready. Because this is the beginning of a massive blogging spree by us here at GWP (Gavin Wade Photographers, keep up peeps!), so make sure to add us to your RSS feed because we are going to be serving about 20 different kinds of awesome coming up here as we embark upon "WEDDING SEASON 09'." Or as we like to call it...."HOLY MOTHER HERE IT COMES!!!...09' "

With cameras in our hands pretty much every weekend between now and September, you can bet-your-sweet-bippy that there will be things on here that we'd love for you to check out and leave you thoughts on (both good and bad should you feel it warranted, we can take it).

But before the bombardment of our meager attempts at photography, I wanted to warm you up a little and get you in the mood for that which is to come! Our friend and fellow photographer, Aaron Dieppa, is on a mission. And that mission is to post a video blog every day for one year. I visit his blog every day, and loving each video and interview more than the previous; you've gotta check him out!

If you were to go visit his blog, you'd see a video he posted from a shoot we all did back in Vegas during WPPI with Victor Sizemore. It's such a fun and well made behind the scenes look at a "for real" shoot. Erin and I are in it (Oscar Buzz?), but mainly we just love the video and want you to love it too :)

Enjoy! And if you aren't already, you can stay in on the action of GWP by following us on Twitter and Facebook. You can stalk us, and no one will know. I promise.

WPPI 2009': Vegas Baby!

Call me a wimp...call me a sissy...call me whatever you want...but I am just NOW finally recovered from our WPPI trip! We got back exactly a week ago and finally I can feel my "sleep-o-meter" no longer on "E" but now closer to "FULL."

Before our trip began, we purchased a Flip MinoHD. It is a super compact HD video recorder that plugs directly into your computer's USB port. It already has the software built into the camera so all you have to do is plug it in and within minutes your videos can be up on YouTube, Vimeo, or anywhere else you want!

We took our customized Flip on the road with us to this years WPPI convention and recorded just a few of our favorite moments. I'm still trying to get the hang of it when it comes to getting some decent shots to splice together into a movie, but hopefully this will give you all an idea of why exactly it's taken a week for us to get back to normal (Erin's edit aimed in my direction: "As normal as can be hoped for at least")

....thank you for clearing that up, Erin.

So without further adieu, our first video blog! Much more to come for your viewing pleasure :)
