Tis the Season for giving

Friday, December 22, 2006 Posted in Announcements, News and Events

I would like to take this time in sending some Christmas cheer to all my past and future clients and also a few vendors that I work closely with.
To all my past clients, it was a pleasure being part of your families life’s memorable and special moments. Thank you for having me as part of your lives and making me feel like a part of the family. I wish you all a joyous holiday season and a happy and health New Year.
To all my future clients I’m so looking forward to be part of your special day and thank you for choosing Christos as you photographer.

Now a special Christmas cheer goes out to Eleni from Portara Gallery and Anastasia from Anastasia’s Gift Shop, I would like to personally thank you both for the referrals and being a friend. I couldn’t have done it without you. May you both have a Merry Christmas and a healthy New Year.

Now let’s not forget about my favorite little videographer Athina, from Ellopia Media Group. This past year has been a blast. I look forward to working with you in 2007 Athina, let’s make it a year to remember, Merry Christmas.

To all my friends and family, Happy Holidays and Merry Christmas, I’ll be seeing most of you this weekend so I’ll save the rest for later.

Play Day

Wednesday, December 20, 2006 Posted in My personal work

Today was one of those special father and son days. I went to see my oldest son perform in a “in” classroom pre-k play. He was so excited when I walked in with my big old camera.
I encourage all dads to participate as much as possible in their children’s activities. It truly means so much to them, trust me you had to see my sons face just light up when you saw me.
Now I wont show any images of the class or other children but I will share some of his work for you.
My Son Peter.

And some of his work

Coming soon in 2007

Friday, December 15, 2006 Posted in Announcements, News and Events, Resources for Brides

Yeah baby, the slideshows are coming, the slide shows are coming. As with everything in today’s digital revolution, while embracing the internet and online multimedia. I’m happy to inform you that all clients in 2007 will have an online slideshow of their event posted online to share with all there family and friends. Now how cool is that…. I’m expecting to have this feature fully operational by January so it will be some slamming fun creating everyone’s slideshow.

What will the slideshow contain? Well that’s a simple question, it will contain images that I select and edit to represent the emotion of the day’s events, from color to black and white images, to sepia toned images, to some cross processing and of course Christos signature look. Now I’m stoked. Heheheh.

Studio updates for 2007

Monday, December 11, 2006 Posted in Announcements, News and Events

As the holiday season approaches so does next years wedding and event season. I’m pleased to announce that my current wedding price list is not going up, yeah baby, no price increase on pre-configured packages for 2007 as of this writing.
So what is changing in 2007? Well I’m going for simplicity and flexibility in pre-configured packages. I’ll be embracing what is referred to as “Print Credits”. Instead of having predetermined print sizes included within packages, you will have a print credit to work with. You can use this print credit towards any type of product I carry, 8×10, 5×7, thank you cards or additional album design and album pages. Now how is that for flexibility and simplicity. I hope you find this process useful in determining the options you wish to have included within your wedding packages.

Well folks now that Thanksgiving has past and I feel like I gained 10 pounds in one day. I will spare you the pictures of me eating LOL. I hope that you all enjoyed this day with your families.

Oh yeah a special thanks goes out to John Kapaniris for pointing out a problem with this post. Thanks man, go ahead and check out Kapa’s new blog.

A note to wedding photographers about a popular wedding site.

Tuesday, November 14, 2006 Posted in News and Events

This is more of an informational post for brides and wedding photographers. If you are using One – Wed dot com to search for your wedding photographer and request information from the wedding photographer, he or she may never receive your request.

It seems that the above mentioned site holds those requests hostage until the photographer pay’s above mentioned site a monthly fee. So in other words the only photographers that will receive your request are the ones that pay the monthly fee and not those that have a “free” listing as I do.
Now here is the kicker they don’t tell the brides this, so a potential brides may think that “we don’t care” and that is not true.

So let’s take a look at my “free” listing

Now look at the contact form it says the following “Just provide your name and phone number/e-mail and Photography by Christos will contact you” WOW now that is misleading, I will never receive your request because I just have a free listing on this site.

The joys of a wedding photographer.

Tuesday, November 7, 2006 Posted in Testimonials

Below is one of those cards from one of my past brides, Vicki. Vicki and Alexandros thank you very much for the kind words, I would also like to wish you two the best of luck and may the future bring you joy and happiness.

Online forms coming soon.

Friday, November 3, 2006 Posted in Announcements

In order to assist my customers even further, I’m currently in the process of creating forms needed to complete your packages and putting them online. This will allow greater flexibility on scheduling constraints that sometimes can be challenging. Plus the online forms will be great for me to actually keep track of them. I have to love those emails that I get from my great customers that go hi Christos here are my enlargements pics talk to you soon. And that’s it, oh wait it get’s better, the email address is from kittykat45 (not a real address but you get the picture). Hmmm I love you guys.
The old method of printable downloadable forms will still be available for customers that still like using paper and pen and mailing them to me. Currently there are plans for those forms to be upgraded as well. Wondering, what the forms would look like? Well here is a partial screenshot of one of them. Talk to you all soon.
