Wow! What a first quarter of the year. I spent the month of January working primarily on a corporate job ... but I also had quite a few bridal shows to do. Since we're now traveling a lot more for our weddings I thought it would be nice to get out and do some shows in the surrounding areas.
I managed to do two shows in Champaign-Urbana, as well as shows in Mattoon, Effingham, Monticello and even Terre Haute, Indiana. That's a total of 6 bridal shows through the first part of March. I'm done for this spring, but if I have time I might be doing one more show this fall.
I have to say that's it's been well worth it. The calendar is filling up quite nicely with weddings.
And as for non-wedding events, I look forward to the Charleston High School musical and the Eastern Illinois University Show Choir Camp. I've been videotaping these two events for many years and they're always a lot of fun.
If you haven't booked your wedding photographer yet for 2007, I do have some open dates during the summer and fall. However, from July through the first week in September, I'm booked 7 out of 9 weekends. Feel free to call or email to see if your date is available.

Forever Plaid
It seems like I've been on the road a lot ... and with good reason. In January and February I was working on a corporate project providing video production for their annual meetings.
This Sunday we'll be doing our 6th bridal show in about 9 weeks. After that I'll be taking a few weeks off before jumping into the wedding season.
So before we get to the upcoming wedding season I thought I would provide a bit more about my personal background. I'm the president of the Central Illinois Stage Company based in Charleston, IL. It's a small community theatre group and we typically do about one show a year.
7 years ago I had the pleasure of performing in a small musical-comedy, Forever Plaid. If you don't know the show, it's about 4 teens that had formed a singing group hoping to someday make it big. Then one day they were traveling to a show and were killed in an auto accident.
The four have now come back to perform the show that they always wanted to do in life. It's really a fun show and almost has a cult following. (Google it!)
Last year I had the opportunity to direct the show (as opposed to performing) and I had four good friends and great singers that received a standing ovation each night ... and deservedly so. Not only did they act well ... their blend was really great as demonstrated in this clip.
If you ever get the opportunity to see this show ... do it! You'll love it.
