Our great friend Corey E. Sleap {we still like to call him Corex} was second shooting for us at the recent wedding in Geelong Victoria. He put this little video together of our wedding photographer DJ Paine in action. Thanks Corey! COREYESLEAP.COM
Just a quick update:
Our photographer DJ is down in Geelong at the moment. He & some of the team shot a wedding for Tim & Kristy yesterday down there. it was a big wedding: in Geelong’s oldest and largest Catholic church {St Mary’s of The Angels} and a bridal party of 14 including the paige boy & flower girl. Tim & Kristy & their bridal party + the Studio Promise Wedding Photography team had a great day & everyone did an awesome job. here is one of the last shots of the day at the reception venue The Rose down in Torquay…
ok! it started thursday 30th April when we picked up jolane after his trip from Melbourne to the Gold Coast. it got serious friday 1st May when we hit the macs at 7am and finished at midnight. we made some amazing breakthroughs on saturday 2nd May when we were in the zone from 8am to 1am. then on sunday 3rd May we had some major hurdles to work out, design issues and serious gallery dramas… we ended hitting the sack around 2:30am. today 4th May is a public holiday here in Queensland, but we still managed to get a good 3 hours in before we had to get jolane back on his way down to Melbourne. Now it wasn’t just all work work work {well, it was mostly} – we had some great lunch breaks including a special guest appearance from the always awesome singer-songwriter MIKE MCCARTHY for sunday’s lunch that we took down at the Southport Surf Life Saving Club at Main Beach. {great beach side food}. We also had some surprise late night visitors on Saturday when Evan & Moira Peet {pastors at THE EMBASSY in Sydney} dropped in to say hello & catch up for a couple of good hours. So jolane was here on the Gold Coast for a total of 86 hours and all up we guesstimate that we put in about 48 hours {each} to the website in that time period! A massive thanks again to our man, the genius, jolane! he is a great guy and all round legend – he is also very single, so ladies….
it has begun! consider 1st May 2009 the official start date of Studio Promise! though we did come up with the name & concept last year, we registered the business name and domain name last year, we have been working with some business partners on this for a few months and the logo was finalized last month… so why do we consider today the first day of a new beginning? two reasons: 1} THE FIRST OF MAY is a great day to put a big mark on the calendar. Jolane is a fantastic friend and a long time business partner of DJ’s in all things web & music related {under the moniker The Mustard Empire}. we are excited that he’s here with us for the next few days putting in the hard yards to get our designs and dreams together and onto the internets and into your home! So here’s a toast to good friends like Jolane, creativity on the internet and to fresh starts! we love the feeling of this new beginning, it’s been a long time coming!
2} our man JOLANE L SYNOTT is here with us building our new website!
