Holy smokes things are moving faster than Superman here. I’ll start at the beginning… I finally made the call and bought a new video kit *applause*. I picked up a brand new Canon A1s high-def camera with all of the fixings. It was a heafty investment but it was very necessary. Carla and I have been booking double angle shoots and two-weddings-a-day shoots that justify its purchase. We’re now operating with 5 cameras: a Canon A1, A1s and HV30 (backup) and a Nikon D300 and D50 (backup). Oooo I love camera toys!
Both of our cameras were on display at the wedding show at Tosca in Oshawa on April 26 too! It was lots of fun (and a bit tiring) wearing a public relations hat with Carla at the show. We had both done wedding shows before, but this was our first chance at unleashing the raw power of C2 onto the eyes and ears of potential wedding clients. We met a lot of great people at the show – some of which are having destination weddings which we are keeping our fingers crossed for! Even some existing clients showed up to say hello which was nice. Carla is so great to work with, I couldn’t have found a better partner to help run the business and I think that was demonstrated well at the show.
While I was away on vacation in Myrtle Beach playing golf, a friendly co-op student knocked on our door asking if we could help provide her with some work experience and help build a portfolio to help her graduate. Needless to say Carla and I were so happy to have her! She is joining us for the next few weeks in the office helping to illeviate some of the work pressure and gain some valuable experience. It’s making me think a lot harder about buying that new high-def editing desktop now that she is with us. If all goes well and she blends well with us (which she already is) it would be nice to keep her with us on a part time basis. We’ll see where the summer months take us!
