Janice and Robert not only celebrated the 4th of July this past weekend, they also celebrated their 2 week anniversary! They chose a gorgeous day in June to tie the knot in San Leandro at Casa Peralta. What I loved about this wedding was that Janice and Robert set aside time in between the ceremony and reception to go to Sushi Avenue where they not only had their first date, but Robert proposed! The owners of Sushi Avenue were gracious enough to open the restaurant especially for them. The decor there is beautiful and it looked like a delicious spot- I think I’ll have to make the trek back to San Leandro just to try it out! Here are a few photos from the day as well as a slideshow. Janice and Robert danced their first dance to “That’s Amore” so I thought it was fitting for the soundtrack of the slideshow. Congratulations you two! Enjoy your belated honeymoon this fall!

This Friday is all about preserving your personal photographs. When you work with a professional photographer, you are privy to their connections with professional album makers, but what do you do with all those photographs you have on your computer that you can’t have made into an heirloom album?

Blurb Books offers the opportunity to make your own book store quality books. Make a book for each year, highlighting your favorite images. Make a book of a favortie trip to preserve the memories of your travels. Write a story for your child, featuring pictures of your child as the main character. The books are reasonably priced and look great! They have a design program that is easy to use. I just got one as a yearbook for my daughter Cecily’s year at preschool.  You can also buy books created by other people- there are all sorts of fine art photography books, children’s books wedding and fine art books. You can create them with your galleries from Flickr, Picasa, Smugmug, and TypePad

Kimbra Studios features all sorts of custom photo jewelry and gifts. Have a treasured photograph made into a ring, necklace, or bracelet.

Last, but not least, one of my very favorite DIY photo site, Photojojo. Photojojo has great photo tips and DIY projects. Their most recent feature tells you have to make zipper pulls, jewelry and other fun items from your photographs using shrinky dinks. Uh huh, I know- shrinky dinks!!!
