Feel Good Package Delivered! 12.6.08

On Saturday my family met up with Megan, Jon, Pete & Dawn to spend lots of money for the Toys for Tots Foundation.  Just last week Megan & John booked my annual “for charity” photography package.  Basically what we did was this: Instead of Megan and John paying ME for the photography of their wedding, they paid for a toy shopping spree where the toys that we all purchased with their money would be donated to Toys for Tots.  In return I shoot their wedding in September of 2009.   We had so much fun shopping for toys!  Thanks to Pete  Malone who came out and shot the video, and to his gorgeous wife Dawn for helping with the shopping!  But without Megan & Jon this would not have been possible.

**Also a huge thanks to Wal-Mart for giving us a 10% discount off the total bill.**
