blogging, what blogging?

Wow it has been too long.. We do seem to focus on facebook more nowadays than this little blog, but anyway.

What do we have going on?  SENIOR PICTURES.  Prelude photography in Mentor and in Strongsville, OH is running two great senior portrait specials.  Our shooting is creative and dynamic and affordable. 

Also, our photobooth is rolling very well.  It is really a nice accent to our wedding photography.  And we are all over the Cleveland area this summer, it's a lot of fun.

We are still doing film transfer or VHS transfer to DVD.  It is only growing in popularity.

And then in Sept we are doing a special for military families with discounts in their family portraits, special gift ideas and more. 

So there you go,

see ya'll soon.

NEW Photo Booth!!

CHECK OUT OUR AWESOME NEW PHOTO BOOTH!!

Update on Friday, February 25, 2011 at 10:09AM by Matt

Yup, we can now offer the hottest trend in weddings right now, a photobooth.  See http://www.prelude-photography.com/shotspot/ for what you get and more info.  We expect our photobooth to take off in the Cleveland area.  They are cool, fun and one more thing for the guests to do at your wedding.  The photo booth is completely customizable. 

The photo booth, like Prelude, will serve Northeast OH, including Cleveland, Lake County and Cuyahoga County.

And we have a great price on it!  Call for details.

NEW - Media Transfer available at Prelude!

Hey all!

How many times have you or someone in your family talked about getting old home movies preserved on DVD?  All that outdated media - 8mm film reels, camcorder tapes, VHS cassettes - tends to just sit in the attic, and sometimes even decays or gets destroyed, and there's no way to get it back!  We're excited to say that Prelude Photography has teamed up with local company Viewpoint Media to help you transfer YOUR media to DVD! 

Media transfer not only ensures that you can easily back up and digitally preserve those irreplaceable old movies, but also allows you to watch them whenever you want on contemporary media players such as DVD players, computers, and even gaming consoles like the XBox 360 and PS3!

Check out the price card on our new MEDIA TRANSFER page... transfer is totally affordable (although who could put a price on those memories?!), and your tapes/film are NOT mailed out of state or even out of town.  All media is hand-delivered to Viewpoint Media to ensure that your film reels or tapes are as protected as possible.  Nothing will get lost or damaged in the mail this way!

So dig those old reels out of their boxes, grab those camcorder tapes and VHS cassettes off the shelves, and let Prelude - and Viewpoint Media - help you to create a permanent, secure DVD archive!

I'm SO getting in on this! :p

NEWS NEWS NEWS! NEW 2nd Location, Train Contest Winners & More!

Taken at our NEW SOUTHPARK MALL LOCATION!

Well, considering our last blog post was in June (can you tell we've been BUSY?!), we have a LOT to catch up on!

First of all, the biggest reason we've been busy is we have opened a NEW SECOND LOCATION at SouthPark Mall in Strongsville, located right across from the Kids' Play Area!  WEST SIDERS REJOICE!  We're very excited to add SouthPark Mall to the Prelude family.  Come and visit the new space during mall hours, and if you want to make an appointment at the SouthPark studio, call 440.878.9000!

ALSO, our WEDDING SHOWCASE at the Great Lakes Mall location has EXPANDED!  We have added THREE new vendors to our happy group: Plant Magic Florist, Cutting Edge Limosine, and Jenniffer & Co. Salon & Spa.  We're thrilled to have them on board, and had a great time yesterday at our first ten-vendor consult night!

And don't forget, to view the TRAIN CONTEST WINNERS, visit the Western Reserve Model Railroad Museum website HERE: http://www.wrmrrm.org.  They have posted some great pics of their winner's display!

We're always growing and changing over here... if any of you have any ideas you'd like us to consider or any testimonials you'd like to offer, shoot us an email.  :)

Happy Thursday, and we'll be talking to ya soon!
