Sharefest 2007

Forgot to post about our piece on the front page of the Lafayette newspaper earlier in the summer. The paper ran three of our photographs from our coverage of Sharefest 2007. Sharefest is an annual church-based event put together by many Boulder County churches to paint, clean and fix up something like 16 different public schools in the area. Over 2500 volunteers turned out and did some great work getting the schools ready for the fall start to the school year. Lots of fun! One school hadn't been painted since it opened nearly 22 years ago!

Fairview HS Class of '87 Reunion

It's fun catching up with one old friend you haven't seen for 20 years. But when you multiply that sensation times 200 all at the same moment, it can make your head spin! My 20 year high school reunion in Boulder, Colorado this past weekend was more fun than any human being should be allowed to have! For those of you who didn't attend or left before the bitter end, click through to see which classmate took the 'casual cocktail' dress code in an entirely new direction. What a fun time, Fairview HS class of'87!

Ashley and Matt's Wedding

Jim and I road-tripped across Colorado down into the Oklahoma Panhandle to celebrate this outrageously fun wedding. Giant windmills some 15 stories tall, Ashley and her mother-in-law frolicking a la Marilyn Monroe on a steam grate, the bride on horseback and jumping on a trampoline and more! A tornado even hit this Oklahoma town just a few days before the ceremony. What an exciting and colorful wedding--thanks, Ashley and Matt--we enjoyed ourselves!

Stretch Your Wedding Budget--Photography Registry

Brides have been asking about ways to add their wedding photography to their bridal registry and we can now accomodate it! It is as simple as telling your family and friends in an email or on your personal wedding website where to find us. If you are HTML savvy, just create a link to Marc Littmann Photography somewhere on your webpage. Or just include www.littmannphoto.com/contact.htm in an email to them and they will be able to purchase a gift certificate good for any amount they want. It will be placed in your name as a regular store credit towards prints, an album or even towards your remaining deposit on your wedding package.

To DVD or Not to DVD, That is the Question

One of the most frequent questions I am asked is whether we offer a DVD with print files included in our packages. It's a good question, as photographers often don't want to give up their reprint revenue stream. But many couples want to own a copy of the DVD for safekeeping and ease of making reprints 2, 5 or 10 years down the road. We offer such a DVD on our Grand Tetons package for no extra cost. But for those working within a more limited budget range and who don't need the unlimited coverage of our 'grandest' package, we can create a modified version that substitutes certain items and even some of the print credit towards the purchase of the DVD with the print files. For example, a Boulder, Colorado couple decided to swap the thank you photographs and the slideshow DVD and received a credit to be used towards the purchase of the print file DVD. After an additional charge and a reduction of their print credit, they had exactly what they wanted and remained within the budget they set for themselves for wedding photography. And they'll go to the altar and live happily ever after (without breaking the bank!).

How Does the Print Credit Work?

One question I get asked a lot is how the retail print credit works in our packages. Each package option comes with a print credit that is similar to a gift certificate. For instance, if you have purchased the Maroon Bells package and receive the $1000 print credit, you will be issued a code that you punch into the website with your photos on it. So if a 4x6 costs $6.00, ordering two of these reduces your print credit by $12.00. Order 25 5x7s and 10 8x10s, then even another 200 4x6 prints and you can just keep going until you burn up the $1000 credit. Beyond that, prints are then paid for via credit card after your print credit is used up.

Eye For Detail

The majority of our photographs are shot digitally in color, with the option of going to black and white, sepia, cross-processing or selective color interpretations as seen in this image. During the editing process following your wedding, we will concentrate our efforts to produce more (or less) of certain color styles, depending on your personal taste. Be sure to let us know "I love sepia, but don't care too much for black and white images," or "Get as creative as you want, Marc, with bringing back color on an image you have previously converted to black and white." The more we know about your personal tastes, the happier you will be with your final result.

Getting to the Church On Time

Get Him to the Church On Time
Originally uploaded by mntjourney.

The final walk as a bachelor for this groom flanked by his entourage of closest amigos quickly became a memorable spring blizzard in Colorado. There are no guarantees what the weather is going to do any time of the year, much less in April. They say if you don't like the weather in Colorado, wait five minutes. It couldn't have been truer than on this day, but a good time was had by all, despite the hard-driving storm.

Cheryl dances with her father at what turned out to be quite a fun and unique wedding event. After the band wrapped it up, about 20 drums were brought out and a large circle of percussion, dance and singing ensued. I joined in on the action, accepting an invitation to try a larger drum and a didgeridoo. I just might have a talent for Aboriginal tribal music should I ever consider a career change!

We had a lot of fun creating this shot. Jordy had wanted something elegant, tasteful, yet striking in her formal portrait. So after much laughter and efforts to look serious, we finally produced a 'swept off her feet' moment.

The Special Moment

Amidst a flurry of activity while setting up the large family portrait, I caught this tender interaction that seemed to defy the otherwise action-filled scene. It is for these brief scenes that I find to be the most fulfilling when you get it just right on film!
