Well friends, if it hasn’t hit you yet I’m sure it will soon. The holidays are upon us. “Black Friday” (a marketing phenomenon exclusive to the good ‘ol US of A) is a mere two days away. For many people, holiday shopping is a stressful time…much like planning a wedding. Now I can’t do anything to alleviate the stress levels of the shopping herd but, I can do something to make life a bit easier on you and your fiancee.

As of today, I am offering a 15% discount on my wedding collection prices to any bride and groom that book their photography before the end of this year. It doesn’t matter what day you are getting married, or what year, so long as you book that date before January 1, 2008.

“That’s great David, where are your prices?”

Easy, just click the button on the top right of this page that says “contact me”. Fire me an email with that contact form and I will send you all of the information you will need.

While I was out the other day, I almost literally stumbled across this interesting little fungi. I thought it was an egg at first. Do any of you know what kind this is?

Adam came to me a while back and asked me if I would help him recreate his wedding day for his wife on their first anniversary. He told me about what had happened with their original wedding photographer, and how they didn’t want those images to be all they had to remember the day by.

We talked about what disappointed them with the original shots, and some places they might like to revisit. He had already decided they wanted me to shoot, so we set the date immediately.

I have to say, this was a great experience for all of us.

The Taiko drum group “Yamato” was in town last week. Not only did I go see the show, but I was able to work it out with the production manager so that I was allowed to shoot the show as well.

Full show review after the jump. (more…)

Well, ladies and gents you’re probably wondering what in the world is going on here at davidbickley.com. There is some serious overhauling in the works. I’ve decided that rather than leave the old site up, I would replace it with this blog to keep you all informed of what I am up to while the new site is worked out.

Commenting is open, suggestions are welcome, and as I get further along in this project I will leak “sneak previews” of the behind the scene goings on.

Stay tuned, and mark your calendars. The new site will go live before the new year.
