...punch the fun button...

we made a last minute decision to join lots of other lovely exhibitors at the margs wedding expo last weekend ... and as mike finished programming our new baby at 1am saturday morning ... the magix booth came along for the ride ...

this is our display ... note for next year: applying late equals prime position

see the red tardis box with headlights on? thats the magix booth ...


this is a pic of the beautiful amanda - who, along with her handsome fellow brad - have just celebrated the birth of baby keeva grace ... wishing you smiles and sleep guys!

note the dome takeaway coffee ... we were supposed to meet brad and amanda from chev limos and clare and john from clare day for brekkie - but alas alak - made it only in time for takeaway caffeine fix ...

found white box frames at spotlight ... peeerrfect ...

ok ... here we go ...this is called the "fun button" ... in the big scheme of things this gave mike the biggest headache ... at one stage i saw emails pricing this small red piece of equipment at $200! mighty happy he made one ...

heres a few prints before we left home ... mind the under eye bags ... this was eeeaarrly ...

...everyone was so intrigued ... not sure what it actually was ... until mike jumped up and started explaining (and basically never stopped) and punched lots of fun buttons ...

heres emma from twp publishing and her assistant - organisers of the expo - super job emma!...


this lovely lady is jacqui ... she is a writer with bridal options ... she liked the magix booth ... and us ... mike spent lots of time chatting to jacqui ... go figure ...

the super sweet and soon to be married clare day ... the magix booth is so going to go off at their wedding ...

these gorgeous ladies had it completely sussed ... work it girls, work it ...

one beautiful bride, 6 sassy girlfriends, 1 cute toddler = lots of magix booth pics ...

finally ... we persuaded john ... the quiet, complacent (compliant?) other half to clare day ... who happens to possess the most wicked black sense of humour i have ever encountered ... and he kept bringing me chocs from clare's display ... he was supposed to be handing them out to arrivals! ... i was so hungry as mike was in charge of receiving lunch and from a platter of heavenly samples - took one half sandwich of roast beef and pickle (bbllleegghh!) and an apple! ... are you freakin kiddin me babe? so, thanks for all the choc john ... would not have survived the day without them ... oh, and sorry clare ..

the late afternoon turned quiet and we had lots of visits from brad and amandas little fellow - who loved punching the fun button ... brad decided to come in with the new baby and see what all the fuss was about ...

we met lots of super nice people in the wedding industry - beata and peter from chenin noir dezines, paul from the soul survivors , karen from milieu, vick and cassie from wez enterprises , eyeballed the lovely marketing info from peter at absolute and alive , peter from memories of tomorrow, the super accomodating staff at all seasons margs and the lovely ros (awesome to finally meet you ros!) from stephen blakeney ... well, mike met them anyway - i was fairly busy talking to potential clients ... here's de from emotion image getting in on the act ...

gorgeous amanda from chev limos also decided to find out what all the fuss was about - you are a natural in front of the camera amanda ...

this sweet lady just cracked me up ... we didnt notice her until the end of the 3 photos and we were all laughing so hard we never got to find out what she thought the magix booth was ...
just so you know i am not kidding you ... this is how mike spent the majority of the day ... talking ... to other photographers ... seriously ...

lots of packing up later - its always harder packing up - trust me ... we headed back home to enjoy a coffee and mikes parents company as an unwind mechanism before we arrived at our chaotic home ... mikes mum picked up my camera and snapped this as she thought it depicted our day perfectly ... opposite ends of the sofa, lounge lizards, exhausted laughter...

it was great to meet all the lovely couples (and mums and mums-in-laws and sisters and bridesmaids and bff's) ... we have been crazy busy fitting in appointments for wedding bookings ... so if you were one of the couples who came, saw and loved us ... please email or phone ... as available dates are filling fast!
