This year’s event is Thursday, October 27th from 6-9pm, at the Four Seasons hotel in downtown Seattle. This year’s goal is to raise $75,000 to grant wishes for adult patients with life-threatening illnesses and their families, and ZinchukFilms is doing it’s part. We are donating a full wedding film package to the cause!!!

Last year, Taz and Channy won an extra-special Love Story film and it was so fun telling their story, which was shown at the wedding of their dreams.  This year we decided to up the ante and donate our ‘Vintage Fusion’ wedding film package—an over $2,500 value!  It includes up to 8 hours of wedding day coverage on high definition film AND vintage Super 8 film.  We will edit the events of the wedding day into a cinematic film that lasts up to 15 minutes.  This is an exciting way to remember the sounds and moments that made your day really special!!

This is an awesome opportunity to get your wedding cinematography taken care of AND to know that your money is going to a great cause!!  We hope you can join us on Thursday – get your tickets online or at the door.  It will be an awesome evening with free drinks, yummy food, fun entertainment, a LIVE AUCTION, and the chance to win some really amazing stuff!!

We look forward to seeing you!!

(don’t tell anyone, but I already entered my name–I want beautiful new wedding bands. Someday, I’ll tell the story of our wedding here, but it didn’t involve gorgeous jewelry)

First, we now have a Facebook FANPAGE!  Hip-hip-hooray! Jennifer decided not to keep stealing her personal facebook page for Zinchuk Studios updates; instead it is more fun for our studio to have a page of its own. Take a minute to visit us over there and become a FAN!

Second, we updated our Wedding Chicks listing with some awesome ‘eye candy’. As I mentioned earlier, Wedding Chicks is an adorable national wedding planning website. If you visit our listing and click on ‘eye candy’ you’ll be treated to a slideshow of some of our most outstanding images.

Third, we have some great promotions right now!

COME BACK to our blog soon–I’ll be posting additional special offers soon!!!

Unsatisfied with the photo invitations on the market, fabulous couple Zhanna and Toly worked with me to create a completely individual product. We used their engagement photos & wedding colors (black and cream) for inspiration. The final result:

In that post several months ago, I mentioned Wedding Paper Divas and their great invites. They recently posted some GREAT photo save-the-dates.

A cute save-the-date for film-lovers out there!

Also, I mentioned some guestbook options in that April post–after ordering an Inkubook guestbook as a gift, I’m not thrilled with the quality. The photos turned out great, but the paper was definitely low-cost. So I’m hoping to try some new compaines soon for low-cost, quick-turnaround fabulous photo guestbooks!
