Hot Air Balloon Grand Prize Winners
Back in April, we began our 2010 Hot Air Balloon Ride promotion for couples who booked with us before May 31st. With the promotion, each couple who selected either the Diamond or Platinum package would receive a complimentary hot air balloon ride courtesy of Wanamaker Photography and Above The Clouds. Each of those couples also received a free entry into our grand prize drawing – exclusive photographic coverage of their experience as well as a 10-page mini-brag book of the flight and a special photo!
Originally, we wanted to announce the winner on June 1st, but were so backed up with work that we missed the deadline by a long shot! Needless to say, we decided to wait until the middle of the month for the announcement! After throwing all of the names into a hat and mixing them all up – we have picked our grand prize winners …

Congratulations to the both of you! We cannot wait to capture beautiful memories of your romantic flight!
2010 S.S. Seward Prom
Last week was the 2010 prom for S.S. Seward High School in Florida New York. A combined Junior and Senior event, it was held at the Falkirk Golf Club in Central Valley New York.
Now, I know that I may not be what you would consider old. Having only a year left before my 10-year high school reunion may not seem that long ago – but a quick visit to any recent prom will certainly change that thought! All kidding aside, it was so much fun to be able to attend this event. From the staff to the administrators and the students, everything was perfect and it seemed like the night ended before it should have!
Last year, I was unable to attend the S.S. Seward prom because we had a wedding booked where I was the primary photographer. Though the Tropical Paradise theme worked well, this year was done as a Masquerade. Many of the students came dressed to match and there were some awesome masks made for the prom king, queen and court.
We’re already looking forward to what next year will bring! Until then, enjoy a few shots from the night!

New Arrival: Baby Jack
For me, I know how important it is to document wonderful moments in life. I especially enjoy photographing babies and children because it allows me to capture moments that Mom or Dad would miss because they are so involved in what is happening.
Baby Jack was born to Tim and Mandy of Eldred, NY on March 2, 2009 and I had the privilege of photographing his first session. As I always say, the baby runs the show – and boy was this the case. We had so much fun and I cannot wait for his next session!
Romantic Hot Air Balloon Ride Promotion
BRIDES AND GROOMS GET TO FLOAT ON AIR
Local Photography Studio Gives Couples Hot Air Balloon Rides
Westtown, NY, April, 2010 – Couples who are engaged to be married may say they feel like they are floating on air. Starting in April, Wanamaker Photography has teamed with Above The Clouds, Inc. to give prospective brides and grooms that actual experience.
Couples looking for exceptional wedding photography can engage Wanamaker Photography for their special day and they will receive a complimentary hot air balloon ride from Above The Clouds, Inc. in Orange County, NY.
In addition to the balloon ride available to all couples who take advantage of this exciting opportunity, Wanamaker Photography will also award one fabulous grand prize. A lucky couple will receive a documentary of their balloon ride by two photographers and a brag book so their journey will live on in their memories.
Many people have never been on a hot air balloon ride and we thought this was a great opportunity to let couples know what it is really like to ‘float on air’,” said Loretta Wolff, photographer and manager of Wanamaker Photography. “Above The Clouds, Inc. offers a fabulous experience with breathtaking views.”
This unique opportunity is only being offered from April 1, 2010 until May 31, 2010. The grand prize winner will be drawn and announced on June 1, 2010.
Studio Update!
When I look at the last time we posted anything, I feel horrible. However, it’s not because of neglect!
Starting at the end of last year, we began splitting apart our portrait business (Wanamaker Photography) and our sports business (Wanamaker Sports Photography) into two separate identities. This included new logos, websites and a new marketing plan. Things worked out so well that we began receiving a lot of requests from new sports leagues, expectant mothers and newly engaged couples. Things were so successful that we have been doing nothing but catch-up lately! On top of that, we’re having our home office remodeled – so it has put us in a slightly discombobulated state!
Since the beginning of the year, we’ve photographed some incredible sessions and really want to get things posted – but just haven’t had enough downtime to get it done. However, we are making it our goal to get caught up on both blogs by the first week in April – so keep checking back for some new images!
