Contest Example

Black Hat Media Photo contest- Childhood

The Contest: Take a picture that for you represents your childhood. The picture can be of a place, object, person or pet. The rules and deadline are listed down below in the previous post.

Below is a sample image to spur some ideas. This is a picture Brian took to represent his childhood. Those of you who know him probably guessed that. He was a huge lego collector, builder and later lego filmmaker.

Utah Valley Bridal Fair

This last Saturday we attended our first Bridal Fair! It was a great time, and a huge learning experience for us but it went really well. It was a lot of fun to see so many people and get to show off some of the great stuff we have done. We also had a drawing for a free set of either bridals or engagements. We will be announcing our winner (and posting some pictures I’m sure) very soon!

Here are a few photos of our booth. It was a little smaller than we would have liked, but it seemed to work out great anyways.
