New Year!!!

Happy New Year!

We hope this wish finds you all well after a great Holiday Season celebrating Thanksgiving and Christmas with your friends and family. We have enjoyed working with each and every bride and groom this last year! We are so lucky to mesh with such wonderful people! Thank you to everyone who has allowed us to be a part of their big day!

The New Year brings many new opportunities this year and we'd like to share just a few things that have been going on here with you...

With the Holidays we are still working on catching up on a few prequels to post from November and December of '09, bear with us just a little bit and we'll get these posted ASAP!

The most recent news is the Bridal Fair coming up FAST on January 9th and 10th at Century II. We will be on the entry aisle along the wall, booth #5 so come and see us! We will be handing out our demo DVD for those who have not made the final decision to hire a videographer yet. For those that have, tell your friends! It's $7.50 for a one day pass or $11 for both days if you don't get all your shopping done in one day. A great value in the scheme of wedding planning!

We also wanted to let everyone know that we have been very happy over the years with our business growing from a "side"/part time job to a full time and professional income. But the last few years we have taken on new projects in life and we are now back to a part time, but professional venture! We are taking only a limited number of events in 2010. So if you have had friends who have showed an interest in having Fat Cat videotape their wedding day, pass the word on. We book only one wedding per day on a first come-first serve basis. We already have a handful of events planned for 2010 and with our newly limited availability, wedding slots are filling fast!

For those that are unable to book us for the wedding day itself, don't forget about those one of a kind videos shot ahead of time that are GREAT hits at the reception- We will still be available for LOVE STORIES, BRIDAL ELEGANCE VIDEOS or SAVE THE DATE VIDEOS, BRIDAL PARTY MUSIC VIDEOS, VIDEO SPOOFS (or anything you can dream up! We get awesome ideas from brides and grooms!) even if you cannot make the wedding day video work.

Or even after the wedding day, consider an eXtreme session or Trash The Dress Session. Baby Stories and Birth Announcements are also becoming popular.

If you have been hinting at that special someone to pop the question, or know someone who will be.... don't forget to ask us to VIDEO TAPE THE PROPOSAL. What an awesome addition to your upcoming wedding video! Tell the WHOLE story. We can concoct any good ole fashioned story up with the grooms, even hide a wireless mic to capture it ALL ! Call us! (Or just send him this link....)

We have been very blessed the last year with wonderful friends and brides, a new dog (Murphy), starting our nursing school careers and more, we hope this new year continues to bless you all with love, health and happiness. Steph

BABY FARE!

If you are expecting or know someone who is, don't sit around watching it rain this weekend. Grab a rain coat and head downtown to Century II and the 2008 Baby Fare! Fat Cat Productions will be sharing information about our sister site http://www.announcemychild.com/ ! This division of Fat Cat produces baby stories and video birth announcements to remember that very special time of a baby's new arrival to the world! ....No, we don't film the actual birth :) Check it out at the link above!!!

There will be many booths catering to moms and tots, so come on down!

New Website Launch!

We have said for some time that we had exciting news coming about a new sister site to Fat Cat Productions.

We’ve finally got things up and running with all of the hub bub around here and are proud to announce a new web site totally dedicated to… babies! So after the wedding when little ones start arriving, don't forget to keep capturing life!

www.announcemychild.com

This site is to share and promote our newest venture, Baby Stories and Video Birth Announcements! There are samples in the gallery to give clients ideas, you may have seen them here in our blog already. We can film from the first time parents perspective, existing children looking forward to a baby brother or sister, etc. It’s totally up to the client and what they are looking for to document the arrival of their child!

Thanks to Tyff and Jeff again for the great layout and design work! Not to mention some adorable baby pictures from their amazing Progressive Sessions! What a great keepsake for when your child is grown, a Progressive Session, a Baby Story, and a video Birth Announcement.

The site is not chalk full of information yet, but it has enough to go live. The more projects we are able to do, the more we will be able to share with you!
If you know of someone who would be interested in this exciting new venture, pass the info along and call Fat Cat to schedule Baby Story planning today!

A Baby Story~ It's a girl!

Congratulations to our great friends, Paul and Megan Misasi, on the birth of their first baby! Sara Michelle arrived on the afternoon of the 9th healthy and beautiful!
We have been working on their Baby Story for several weeks now and we are proud to announce this new service from FCP! The Baby Story is similar to the engaged couple's Love Story we already offer but centers around the excitement of the couple's pregnancy and then the happiness and joy on the arrival of the baby.

As our luck would have it, along with the unpredictablility of arrival of babies, we were unable to get some footage we had hoped for when Megan first arrived at the hospital due to our trip to Little Rock that you can read about on down in the blog- thanks a bunch Sara! (Just kidding) But we were still able to get some great shots of baby at the hospital the next day though and of Sara at home.

We will also be offering simpler Birth Announcements on video as well and we will post Sara Michelle's later tonight or tomorrow, so check back then.

In the meantime, you can see Paul and Megan's Baby Story by clicking here.

Call FCP today for more information on this investment and additional details. What a great way to document the arrival of your child for future generations! Sara Michelle will someday really enjoy seeing her Daddy glowing over the nursery tour!

More new and exciting services to be announced this winter and spring so be a blogger-head and check back often!
