Live Music For Your Next Special Event
If you're looking for elegant, classy music for your next special event, check out my wife's new jazz quintet. Naples Jazz Syndicate features her crooner vocals accompanied by expert musicians on guitar, sax, bass, and drums.
Mulit-media slideshows including: video, audio, photos & music
Our top-notch slideshows just get better and better. With the latest technology we are now able to incorporate all these forms of media into one product. It's a perfect memento of your wedding or special event.
Of course, we specialize in photography, so you can count on elegant static images. However, Sebastien's past career in France as a sound engineer allows him to also capture audio with discreet, wireless microphones. Then, the newest professional digital cameras also provide high-definition video record between camera clicks with the same piece of equipment. No time wasted switching back and forth!
All of these elements unify together in a slideshow that is sure to refresh your fondest memories and deepest joys for years to come.

We do JINGLES!
My wife, Corinna Girard, is a singer-songwriter here in Naples, FL. And a little known fact is that I used to be a professional sound engineer in Paris. As a collaboration, Girard Photography is now offering commericial jingles for your business.
Tell Corinna about your business and preferred genre of musician, and she will compose a customized jingle just for you. You can use it for all kinds of marketing: radio, TV, web, etc...
Check out the jingle Corinna wrote & performed and I recorded for Girard Photography.
You can also hear more of her music (original & cover songs) on her website: www.corinnagirard.com
She is available to perform live at your wedding, special event, or live music venue. AND she even DJ's.

We Do Multi-Media Slideshows!
Did you know that we do awesome multi-media slideshows incorporating image, music, and audio recordings? This is a perfect way to remember your special day.
You send us a selection of your favorite images. Let us choose ambient music or pick your own favorite tunes. During your event, we'll make several audio recordings. Just like a regular DVD, there will be a main menu with several chapters. For example: Getting Ready, Ceremony, Family & Friends, On The Beach, Reception. You can have different music for the menu and each chapter.

From the looks of this photo, one would think these were supermodels, but Julie and Austin are both teachers in Collier County. Julie teaches math and Austin teaches music. If you or your child could use some extra help in math, Julie provides excellent tutoring. You can contact her at tb22jules@yahoo.com .
Julie & Austin, thanks for entrusting us with your wedding. It was a blast working with you!

It's A Boy!
My wife and I are expecting our second child. We went in today for the mid-point ultrasound and found out it's a boy. We are very excited, as is our three year-old son Raphael. Baby #2 is due in mid January. So, we have 20 weeks to decide on a name. (Boy names are always the hardest.)
Now it'll be three boys against mommy! Hee! Hee! ;-)

ADVICE FOR YOUR WEDDING TIMELINE
If the motto for real estate agents is "Location, location, location", the motto for great photography is "Lighting, lighting, lighting". Your wedding timeline will have a great effect on the quality of your wedding photos. Below I have given some advice to guide you as you plan your BIG DAY.
1. SUNSET - The very best lighting that exists is one hour prior to sunset until 15 minutes after. (Well, sunrise too, but I have yet to do a sunrise wedding.) So, you should plan your ceremony to END 1 to 2 hours before sunset time. I say 1 to 2, because the more time you give the photographer after the ceremony, the more awesome photos we can take. We can change locations more than once to provide variety and drama. During this time, your guest can enjoy a cocktail with live music. There are several websites that give sunset times. I use: http://www.naplesinsider.com/Sunsets.htm
2. PRE-CEREMONY - In that hour or two after your cermony, we are going to get great photos of the bridal party and the happy couple. But, we need ample time before the ceremony to do portraits of the girls alone, then the boys alone. Again, an hour at least is recommended. But, if you give us two, we'll be able to provide even more great photos.
3. FORMALS - Right after the ceremony, we usually do formal portraits of the bride and groom with their families. To use this time efficiently and reduce chaos, prepare a list of the different groupings you want. Then, pick someone (preferably someone really outgoing) to wrangle the groups. Without an aid, the formals can use a lot of precious time and be emotionally frustrating for the bride and groom.
4. RECEPTION - As you plan your reception, think of all the traditions you would like to include. Dances, cake cutting, toasts, bouquet toss, garter toss, etc... You should place these near the beginning of the reception so that the photographer doesn't have too much down time. (However, it is customary to provide a meal for the photographer, so that gives you some elbow room.)
5. NIGHT TIME - You can actually get some really stunning images in the dark. So, think about a time you can sneek out of the reception for some dramatic night shots. Keep in mind that to take a nice photo in the dark, we'll have to set up some off camera lights. So, be patient. But, you will have some unique images as a result.
6. REHEARSAL DINNER - One element that many people forget is the rehearsal dinner. Why not invite the photographer and include some of these images in the album?
Well, I hope that this article was informative and helpful to you as you plan your wedding.
HAPPY PLANNING
