I don't know who you are yet, but you are amazing to me

It occurred to me that I have one more person to thank.  At some point between now and April 2011  I am going to photograph a REVO wedding.  We will get to photograph the ceremony, the romantics, the first dance, and meet all the friends and family of a couple that hired us through the REVO auction.  That couple will have helped me in so many ways.  They will have given to my friend Peggi and helped me realize the dream of REVO weddings.  They are like a validation that -People are Great.  At the start of this auction I really hoped that people would give of themselves for someone else.  There were naysayers at the start, people who wondered if we could pull off an online auction people, who wondered who would even donate.  I just couldn't shake the feeling that given the chance our industry would surround Peggi in hope, love, community and they did.  So thanks, who ever you are that bids on us.  You are amazing to me.       Our blackout dates are currently incorrect and we are trying to update them =)  The real information is   Shewanders Photography is valid until april 30th 2011 black out dates may 24th -30th, labor day weekend, 6-11, 6-12,6-18, 5-15,september 3-6, 12/25 and  1/16carcollage

Time to bid at REVO weddings!!!!

I know I have been a giant blog slacker lately and I promise to be a better blogger after the REVO auction closes on April 30th. I keep thinking about the auction and all of the wonderful people who have created REVO weddings with me. I have been counting my blessings a lot lately and I run out of fingers lol. I always start with the beginning. I thank Peggi for bringing us all together. I thank Alyssa and Jennifer at Exquisite Weddings for believing with me that an online auction of vendors could even be possible and for giving us the ad. I thank Sharon from Organic Elements for pointing me in the direction of Kate from Resolusean Events, Sabrina from La Dolce Idea, and Meaghen from Weddings Made Splendid. I thank those girls a lot =) Kate, Sabrina, and Meaghen for their big hearts and tireless efforts. And then I thank Pamela Noxin for giving Peggi and REVO a booth. And I thank Tara at Bob Hoffman Video for coordinating and producing our videos. I thank the Bridal Bazaar for the booth they are giving us this weekend. And then I thank about 80 other vendors for surrounding Peggi with love and community. I run out of fingers. I thank Christianne Penunuri for helping with PR. I thank Mike for listening to me and supporting me through this emotional time. I thank Peggi again for focusing on getting better so she can stay here with us and be my friend. I thank everyone who has told anyone about REVO. I thank everyone I forgot and my mind wanders. I just keep thanking people. It's funny if I have a few minutes to myself or if i'm waiting in line for something...in my head I'm thanking everybody. Thanks for caring about my friend. Thanks for caring about each other. Thanks for this sense of community. Thanks for not letting me fail. I've never planned something like this. I didn't know what to do or where to start. I didn't know if i could find the drive in this emotional setting. I didn't know if we could do this smart enough, fast enough, good enough. Well it's here and now we have an auction so tell your friends, family, coworkers, tell everyone you know. This is our mini REVOlution - let's shine together. I'm so proud of REVO and what it means to all of us. Now let's get bidding =) http://www.startarevo.org/weddings/REVO icon_500
