A little late, indeed, but we're getting our ducks lined up here @ coatue photo and we're a little late on a few things... Though we weren't late for the Chinese New Year in Chinatown. Click our ducks below to see more images from this festive & entertaining annual event in Chinatown.<br /><br />On other fronts, the website is expanding almost daily. And there is a lot more to come... <br /><br /><a href="http://www.coatuephoto.com/ctown/"><img src="http://www.coatuephoto.com/ctown/medium/0013.jpg" width="400"></a>coatuephototag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33304284.post-19463477602982057962007-03-23T16:46:00.000-04:002007-03-23T17:00:15.662-04:00Greetings!<br /><br />Spring is finally starting to happen around here & I'm getting excited to start shooting nuptials again. But while I've been waiting for things to warm up & engagement rings to be distributed I've been catching a lot of great new music including some great stuff recently at South By South West (SXSW) which if you're a music fan is not to be missed. I'm going to Jazzfest which I've also heard is quite cool, maybe to roots rock what SXSW is for indy rock? Any thoughts?<br /><br />Anyway, this is a photo blog so onto the photos:<br /><br />The image on the current home page is Rocco Deluca, check it out at our home page, http://www.coatuephoto.com <br /><br />A gallery of a great new band, The White Rabbits (http://myspace.com/whiterabbits) that followed The Walkmen @ Room 710 is online at:<br /><br /><a href="http://www.coatuephoto.com/whiterabbits/album/"><img src="http://coatuephoto.com/whiterabbits/album/medium/0011.jpg"></a>coatuephototag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33304284.post-1171846804664207212007-02-18T19:54:00.000-05:002007-03-23T16:44:13.906-04:00I know lots of people who aren't keen on Valentine's Day, but I'm not one of them!<br /><br />And as we've done in the past, Coatue Photo has a 20% valentine discount for clients who book us through March 14, 2007.<br /><br />Happy News for us!

But I assure you it's being well cared for and hopefully the web guru will get those galleries back in shape. The galleries on pictage are in good shape if you want to head over there instead.

I usually have them at weddings, but rarely have a chance to use them.coatuephototag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33304284.post-1169603013962798342007-01-23T20:33:00.000-05:002007-01-23T20:45:04.700-05:00<img src="http://www.coatuephoto.com/sca/medium/0013.jpg"/><br /><br />Yup, Mr. Claus, Santa to those of you who dig goodies under a tree, was on hand at the Santa Clauss Ball sponsored by the good kids at <a href="http://www.scaboston.org/">Santa Claus Anonymous</a>.

And I've tried to figure out a good place to use it, but somehow, I always go with something else. However, it needs to be shared, so here it is.<br /><br /><img src="http://www.coatuephoto.com/blogpixs/pk.jpg" /><br /><br />I'm planning on sharing a lot more new work in the next few weeks/months depending on work on other fronts.<br /><br />And on the topic of sharing, comments are swell, so share away!coatuephototag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33304284.post-1169261072403941832007-01-19T21:24:00.000-05:002007-01-19T21:44:32.413-05:00The fall was a jam packed adventure of gorgeous brides, handsome grooms, and hours spent with the computer on my lap...<br /><br />When it was all done, I took off for a little Jamaican vacation where apparently everything is No problem...<br /><br /><img src="http://www.coatuephoto.com/blogpixs/xmas.card.jpg" /><br /><br />At least for us it was. Great time...<br /><br />I've been booking weddings and am excited about shooting the upcoming weddings. <br /><br />We shot the Santa Ball in December. Enjoyed the holidays as I hope all of you did.

Salem, MA in October is amazing to start with. Add a full mooon, gorgeous fall day, and Mat & Dianne who are totally loved by one another and all of their friends and family and it is the perfect gig! <br /><br />Brenna, my co-shooter for the day was also amazing proving her greatness by navigating the mini through the one-way streets of Salem, MA to find the lost groom's man. Both Brenna & the groomsman made it safely to the shooot.<br /><br />Congratulations to Mat & Dianne!

We've been shooting a ton and having a great time doing it!<br /><br />Our next wedding is in Marblehead, MA which should be a ton of fun and online, at least in <a href="http://www.coatuephoto.com/eljb/">mini-gallery</a> form by September 10th.<br /><br />And we've been lucky to have such cool couples to work with! In fact, Kelly and Steve, our intrepid rock wandering newlyweds just announced the formation of their uber-hip company, Sunnyside Events. If you're looking for help with your event, drop me a line and I'll connect you with them once they return from their honeymoon!coatuephototag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33304284.post-1156459428434062012006-08-24T18:39:00.000-04:002006-08-24T20:47:36.176-04:00Welcome!<br /><br />I've seen a lot of colleagues create terrific blogs. At first, I thought, huh, why?<br /><br />But they've grown on me. And the cool kids at Fred Miranda gave me info on making one, so ta da, here it is!<br /><br />And especially when I saw the explanation behind the blog 5 peeps. The origin of 5 peeps was that the blogger had 5 people who she was sure wanted to see her work, so whenever she had anything new, she'd send it to them. They'd send it to others, or write her back or whatever, but eventually, it just made sense to create a blog.<br /><br />As some of you know, I'm a big fan of sending out my most recent work to friends, relatives, and utter strangers on occasion, so I thought this might be a welcome relief for all involved.<br /><br />No idea where I'm going with this, but hope it's useful for some of you.<br /><br />Best wishes,<br />Heathercoatuephoto
