Honeymoon Hideaway

Boutique Hotels are the hottest trends in travel.

Not as large as a franchise and they pay extra special attention to the detail. Its like combining a spa with a hotel. Many are devoted to a unique style. Whether it be Art nouveau, Vintage or Urban, they all have one thing in common. Service. Often, with enough advanced planning you can get a "great rate" or a package deal for around $125. Not bad considering the Holiday Inn can run about $75-$80. After the wedding consider treating yourself to some "me" time or rather "two of you" time. A good website to check out is kimptonhotels.com

I am not sure of any in San Antonio but I would guess The Havana or Watermark is the closest.

In Seattle

Thank you all for your support and patronage! In the hopes of continuing our mission at Winfield Little Photography we will be in Seattle at the end of February attending seminars and conferences bringing back resources on the latest Wedding Photography and Wedding Video trends. Continuing education has helped us keep a fresh edge to our photography.

Thank you for allowing us this opportunity.

Happy Valentines Day!

Unusually friendly people today.

People in the elevator, smiling, saying hello. Down the corridor with big grins. Striking conversation about "the day" wishing everyone a Happy Valentines Day.

So to everyone, Happy Valentines Day to all and to my husband of 14 years. Of the 14 years, we have worked together for about 14 of them, (no, it's not a typo.) And I can probably guess that out of the time we have been together we have been apart about 90 days in total.

.....O my gosh! That's like being married 42yrs in "normal" couple years!

Party Idea

Birthday's come and go and I never know what to do....Until now. At a recent Bat Mitzvah, Philip Chancellor of 5150 Productions had a fantastic set that kept everyone enthralled. Imagines this, Four podeioums equipped with microphone, buzzer and digital readouts of points accumulated. Questions are given to the participants (trivial pursuit style) and the first one who buzzes in and answers correctly and gets to 500 points wins the game. Literally, people were pushing and shoving to get the chance to play, and I'm not talking about the 13 year olds'.

Bat Mitzvah!

It's a small world after all.

About a year ago we photographed a lovely couple (Bonnie and Gal) at Club Giraud. Beautiful, elegant and tons of fun. One of the Guests who attended (David Marne, Mayor of Shavano Park) called and asked if he could order a few reprints from the wedding. Sure! I replied, just come to the office and I'll be happy to place the order. Three seconds later Amanda, the receptionist tells me there is a David Marne to see me. It turns out that David offices in the same building we are in. Small World.

David's Daughter, Naomi, just turned 13 and had a great celebration! Saturday we photographed all the friends and family and lowe and behold, who's doing the music and entertainment.....Philip Chancellor of 5150. If you have never heard of 5150 he is probably the best DJ/Emcee/entertainment person in the industry. If he can't get your crowd moving no one can. Philip brings professionalism to this industry in a way no other can.

He's great at weddings!
