A Whole New Look!

Well it's been a long, long, long time coming but we now have a new website.  It is still the same address, www.walterehomanphotography.com but it now has a whole new look.  We're very excited about getting the up right before wedding season.  I know our old website was a little clunky and some things were hard to find.  I think we've addressed all of those issues and have made it a nicer experience.  So click on over and check it out!

If you had been subscribed to our blog before, you will have to re-subscribe on the new site as we will not be updating the old blog any longer. 

New Website Coming Soon!

 Soon, hopefully today, I will have my new website up.  The plan is for everything to be flawless and the next time you go to www.walterehomanphotography.com you will see a completely different look.

Time is running out for The Art of Marriage Conference - New Jersey and Philadelphia, PA area Wedding & Portrait Photographers

The older I get the more bold I get.  If Ruth and I are out and see a older couple, I will often ask them how long they've been married and how to they make it last so long.  Most of them tell me "it's hard work but it's worth it".  There are a lot of things I enjoy in life but one of the greatest thing for my kids and me to see is a silver haired couple acting like a couple of newlyweds.  I want my kids to see that there is more to that just being married "x" number of years.

I believe a long lasting, successful marriage is made up of several different things but I think a good start is running toward God together and doing what you can to please your spouse.

Take a listen to some of this advice.


Time is running out for registration to "The Art of Marriage" conference at Southwood Baptist Church in West Deptford, NJ on Friday, October 7 - Saturday, October 8, 2011.

The Art of Marriage Conference - New Jersey and Philadelphia, PA area Wedding & Portrait Photographers

If you've ever met Ruth and I, I hope you quickly saw how we feel about marriage.  It's not only major part of our business but more importantly it is special union created and blessed by God.  We've learned, through experience that great marriages don't just happen, they take work; sometimes really hard work, but it truly is worth it.

We will be helping with "The Art of Marriage" conference at Southwood Baptist Church in West Deptford, NJ on Friday, October 7 - Saturday, October 8, 2011.  We hosted one at our home church of Blessed Hope Community Church on Valentine's Day Weekend and it was great.  We're really excited about this. 

The conference is for anyone who is married with problems, married with a great relationship, newly-weds, oldy-weds, and engaged couples.  In other words anyone who is married or thinking of getting married.  I would encourage everyone to attend this.  If you've ever been to a marriage conference you know that some can be very expensive, this is very affordable at only $35 per couple.  By the way, after almost 22 years of marriage I have found the fool proof way to have a successful marriage.  Come out and I'll share it with you.

The Art of Marriage Conference - New Jersey and Philadelphia, PA area Wedding & Portrait Photographers

As friends and clients you probably already know a little about the Art of Marriage conference that we are hosting at our church on February 11th & 12th.  It seems some people got the wrong impression.  Some thought that this was only for couples that had marriages in trouble.  Believe me it's not.  If your married or engaged to be married, it's for you.  For $35 per couple you can't beat it!  We even have door prizes. 

The conference will hit several topics including:

• Session 1:  love happens  (purpose of marriage)

• Session 2:  love fades  (drift to isolation)

• Session 3:  love dances (roles)

• Session 4:  love interrupted  (communication)

• Session 5:  love sizzles  (romance and sex)

• Session 6:  love always  (legacy)

Now be honest, isn't there at least one of these topics you feel your marriage could improve on?  Ruth and I have been married for 21 years and we found great info here.
 
Remember, early registration is only $35 until January 16th.  Registration will then be $45 from January 17th-30th.  If you know of anyone else that would be interested, please pass it on.
 
Registration is easy, just click the link below.

Guys only! What do you think your wife will say if you tell her you want to take her to a marriage conference to improve your relationship?  Do you really have to think about this?  Come on it's even Valentine's Day weekend!

We're On National TV - New Jersey and Philadelphia, PA area Wedding & Portrait Photographers

We're on national TV, sort-of.  On September 11th, we shot Hakim and Kyera's Wedding.  At their Engagement Session they told us that they had been chosen to be on TLC's "Four Weddings" show.  Because of it being a reality show we weren't allowed to tell anyone until it was announced on the TLC site.  

Well, the Gloucester County Times ran the story this morning, 10/21/10 Section B, and TLC is running a preview of the show.  Watch the preview here.  Hakim and Kyera are the first couple on the preview.  All the pictures they are putting in frames are from their Engagement Session.  They put them on all of the tables as decoration.  Thanks for the free advertising.


The show airs Friday, 10/22/10, at 10pm est.

" J's" Quinceañera - Southern NJ and Philadelphia Wedding & Portrait Photographer

Why I Switched to Pictage

Here are some of the reasons I made the switch to Pictage for my online galleries.

• Easy to use website
• 2 for 1 Print specials. Buy 1 print get 1 free.
  
• Folder lists - if you click on the Photo tab look on the right column and you will see Folders next to it is + New Folder. Now you can put all your favorites in your own folder.
• Great customer service.
• Off-site backup. This is most important for our wedding couples. I am a little crazy when it comes to backing up. Our typical workflow for a wedding. At the wedding, when we finish a card we back it up as soon as possible on a portable hard drive. As soon as we get home, we upload them on the computer. The computer automatically starts backing up. I then make a copy of your whole wedding folder and put it in a safe. For that night all of the cards of the wedding sit on my night stand just in case something happens in the middle of the night. Before I go to bed there are already 4 copies of your photos. Next morning, I go to another location make another backup and another copy and put it in another safe at a different location. Pictage add 1 more backup. When I upload your photos to Pictage they keep a copy of all of your photos on there servers. By the time I proof your photos there are 5-7 copies of your photos.

Card Sale - 35% off

My lab just notified me yesterday that they are running a special on press printed products. Why not pass on the savings to my clients. So that means post cards & folded cards are 35% off.

How about thanks you cards with your picture right on the front.

Call or email me for details. All orders must be placed before June 21, 2009.

Money Saving Hint

Don't include your vendors(DJ, videographer, and photographer) in your head count for your caterer until you ask. Many caterers know that the vendors don't eat very much and if they're like Ruth and I, they just grab a few bites of something when they can, and they certainly don't sit down and rest. Ask your caterer if the vendors' meals are included in the catering fee. Most times they are, or at the very least, discounted. The money you save could buy you a beautiful Gallery Wrap or Wall Portrait. It doesn't hurt to ask!

FREE STUFF!

How many of you have a Facebook, MySpace, Blog, or are part of some other networking? Let me know when I'm proofing your pictures and I will include some pictures that you can upload to your site or email to your friends; FOR FREE!!!
