Full-time Fun

Two-thousand ten is the first year Steady State has been a significant source of income for anyone involved.  I won't disclose any specific dollar figures, as I suspect all my immediate competitors are lurking in the cyber-wings, waiting to pounce greedily on any figure my unsuspecting fingers let fly and use them in some maliciously malevolent bit of malarky ("Loose fingers sink burgeoning videography companies," to ruin a phrase), but we did pretty well this year.  Hoping and expecting to do even better next year, but that remains to be seen!  As we're just kicking off 2011, though, a quick re-cap of some of 2010's highlights:

• October 10, 2010 (10/10/10).  This was our biggest day in history.  We employed ten people in four cities to shoot five weddings, and even then it wasn't all roses and happily ever after.  We pulled it all together and made it all work, but we learned not to stretch ourselves quite so thin.  If you're considering 11/11/11 as your date, please do everyone a favour and contact us early!  
• John and Colleen's wedding (demo here) and reception aboard the Portland Spirit.  Our first riverboat wedding and it was great!
• Bobby and Jenna's wedding at the gorgeous Elk Cove Vineyards: beautiful day, amazing weather, and fantastic people made this one of our best weddings to date. 

  Okay, I've only written about three things and I'm already too excited about 2011 to continue in 2010.  Let's leave it with 2010 was our first full-time, fully-productive year.  We shot almost 70 weddings (and a dozen+ other events), began forging a name for ourselves as some of Oregon's top videographers, and had a great time meeting and working with dozens and dozens of phenomenal brides and grooms.
