Chris and I (Steve here) were privileged to be invited to the open house last Friday of StarEvents at their new digs in a great old brick building on Pollasky in Old Town Clovis. We have admired this building and photographed many of our clients in and around it over the years.
StarEvents is an event planning company (weddings, etc.) that we have had the pleasure of working with over the years. Nadia greeted us with a welcoming smile and graciously took a break from entertaining a packed house to give us a quick tour of the place. We even got the chance to meet her new baby, Indira (we are just guessing at the spelling...hope we got close:). She seemed to be enjoying herself amidst all the commotion.
It was also gratifying to meet some photographers who are relatively new to photographing weddings. A couple of them mentioned that they had admired our photography for quite a while. That might have made us feel old if we had not started out so young. LOL.
It is kinda wierd to think that, in some small way, we may have influenced other photographers. We never set out to. We only set out to bring our clients the best, most fun and contemporary yet timeless photographs of their lives that we were capable of making while, at the same time, keeping it exciting, interesting and new for us. It is rewarding that we are able to do both.
We had a wonderful, though short, visit. (Duty called...we had to get ready for Saturday's activities.) It is a great space and we wish Nadia, Sheri and their staff all the best of luck in their new location.
