San Francisco, CA (PRWEB) August 25, 2011

Destination weddings are a dream for many couples, but they can be stressful. The logistics of planning, being far away from vendors, and the expense are just a few of the obstacles couples face to pull off their dream wedding. Now San Francisco wedding photographer Michael Soo gives piece of mind to couples who plan to wed elsewhere by offering an affordable destination wedding photography package.

One of the things people worry about when they?re trying to book wedding services for a destination wedding is getting a good photographer. Will they feel comfortable with their photographer? Will the pictures turn out well? Wedding photographer Michael Soo eases the minds of Bay Area couples by traveling with them, so they can get to know their photographer and plan the shoot beforehand, and know they?ll have a friend and ally with them the whole time.

?Our service makes bringing a photographer with you to your destination engagement session and wedding can be supremely fun and affordable,? says Soo.

Soo recently accompanied Brian and Dee to Waikiki, Honolulu for an engagement photo shoot in an incredible tropical setting. The couple was radiant playing on the beach in the sunset. The groom-to-be was born and raised in Hawaii, so Soo was able to make the Hawaii photography shoot a photojournalism story about Brian returning to his roots, and bringing the love of his life with him.

Soo says the main cost is air fare for the photographer and some minor travel expenses. ?We tend to pay for our own lodging, car rental and even food,? he notes.

Most photographers require a multiple people to help with the shoot, but Soo Photography?s makeup artist / hair stylist / assistant is one person, making it even more affordable to accomplish a destination shoot.

Soo has done many destination shoots for weddings and fashion work (including a swimsuit calendar shoot for the NFL Tampa Bay Buccaneers’ Cheerleaders), so he has learned how to find the perfect setting, even in unfamiliar territory.

?We are terrific in helping to scout for locations and create imagery that has a completely different look than what the locals can provide,? says Soo.

For more information about destination engagement and wedding photography or any of Soo Photography?s services, call Michael Soo at (408) 666-8455 or visit the website at http://www.soophotography.com.

Celebrated female sports photographer, Hy Money leads the way in an exhibition featuring archive pictures from her book ?Hy on Palace.? See your Eagles heroes as you never seen them before as Hy captures the highs and lows in a celebration of Crystal Palace?s 2005 Centenary year. Alongside it are previously unseen archive photographs by Peter Robinson and Doug Cheeseman in ?1966 Uncovered.? This photographic legacy of a fantastic event captures the distinct atmosphere from the 1966 World Cup forming a historical tribute and captivating those who remember the events of 1966 and the generation of fans who remain enthralled by the beautiful game.

The Glades Marketing Manager Maria Cooper tells of the inspiration behind the event. ?We may not have won the World Cup, but football continues to thrive as our national sport, loved by millions. We are hoping to create a series of activities and workshops that will appeal to families and fans alike. We hope that football fans will come along to The Glades and enjoy our fantastic collection of nostalgia and precious memories. This year at The Glades we have something for everyone!?

Crystal Palace supporter and Croydon local man Paul Rogers is eagerly anticipating events at The Glades. ?I?ve been a lifelong Palace supporter and first went to watch them with my dad when I was seven. With the new season approaching there are always high hopes and expectations. Hy?s pictures evoke memories of the past successes and near misses that are all part of following the Eagles. The exhibition at The Glades will be a great opportunity to share this history with other local fans together with being able to enjoy activities for all the family.?

As well as these trips down football memory lane families can enjoy a range of activities and entertainment from Flag Workshops and Face Painting to creating your own World Cup and Table Football. The week?s events culminate in the ultimate soccer experience ? Goalstriker ? where you can pitch your striking skill against a virtual goalkeeper.

We can even record the position and velocity of the ball and can also produce a real match atmosphere with crowd noise and lighting. You can really know what it feels like to be under pressure to score that penalty. We are thrilled to have this kind of activity at The Glades. We hope it will provide an exciting end to a summer celebration of football and provide a great build up to the new season.?

Minneapolis, MN (PRWEB) March 24, 2008

The Minnesota Twins have partnered with mobile sports chat utility FanChatter.com to provide Scoreboard Photo Sharing at all 81 Twins home games in 2008, beginning with the season opener at the Metrodome on Monday, March 31.

FanChatter, which allows users to post and receive sports chat via text and photo messaging, recently launched their new FanChatter Stadium division (http://fanchatter.com/stadium) to offer teams and event sponsors a full range of in-arena mobile interactivity features. The Twins are FanChatter’s first official team partner.

“We’re excited to give Twins fans the chance to take their own pictures and see them on the big screen,” said FanChatter co-founder Marty Wetherall. “FanChatter takes the old roving Fan Cam and puts it the fans’ hands, and you won’t believe the clarity of the photos. They look as good on the scoreboard as they do your phone.”

At each home game, fans will be invited to take mobile photos and send them to a custom email address at FanChatter, where they will be reviewed and selected by Twins personnel for inclusion in one of two fan photo slideshows to be shown during designated inning breaks.

Every fan that sends a photo receives an instant reply message on their phone thanking them for their submission and inviting them to visit an online gallery to see and share their photos after the game. The reply message and gallery are presented by the feature’s sponsor, Qwest Communications.

FanChatter successfully tested their Scoreboard Photo Sharing technology during three University of Minnesota football games at the Metrodome last fall. Now the Stadium concept has been expanded to include text message voting, trivia contests, and other mobile interactions, all of which provide teams and sponsors with a “triple-play” of brand communication platforms — in-arena (video board), mobile, and online.

“FanChatter gives fans new ways to interact with games and events,” said Wetherall. “The technology on your phone has moved well beyond simple voice transmission, and it’s easy to use. Scoreboard photo sharing is just the beginning of what’s possible.”

Wetherall continued, “It’s also really cool to have our favorite team as our client.”

Fueled by their deal with the Twins, FanChatter plans to market their services to other teams and sponsors throughout the country while continuing to innovate in the area of mobile sports fan connectivity. They are currently enhancing their Stadium offering to enable more in-game interactions between fans, teams, and sponsors.

About FanChatter:

A Minnesota company, FanChatter (http://fanchatter.com) is the joint creation of Fanacious, Inc. of Minneapolis and Slantwise Design (http://slantwisedesign.com) of Hopkins.

Wetherall, 34, is founder and creative director of Fanacious, Inc., a sports social networking company, and is also senior producer at top creative advertising agency Fallon. His credits include the EDS Super Bowl campaign (“Cat Herders”, “Airplane”, and “Running With The Squirrels”) and independent marketing work for the Minnesota Twins, Minnesota Timberwolves and Minnesota Vikings. In 2003, he created THE SHOW TO BE NAMED LATER…, a “Sports Fan Reality Show” that aired first on community access television and later on Twin Cities NBC-affiliate KARE 11 in 2005.

Norman, OK (PRWEB) September 5, 2008

While the Oklahoma Sooners were taking care of business against UT-Chattanooga on the football field last Saturday night, fans in attendance at Memorial Stadium were taking pictures–with their cell phones–and sending them in to be shown on the giant high-definition videoboard.

That’s because the University of Oklahoma and Sooner Sports Properties recently partnered with mobile sports fan network FanChatter to provide Scoreboard Photo Sharing at every Sooner home football game this season, sponsored by McDonald’s.

“We are extremely excited to be the first collegiate property to offer our fans and sponsors this interactive Scoreboard Photo Sharing forum that adds quality to an already fantastic game day environment at the University of Oklahoma,” said Sterling Cryder, account executive at Sooner Sports Properties (a division of Learfield Sports).

The move adds Oklahoma to FanChatter’s expanding roster of sports and event clients. A Twin Cities-based mobile internet startup, FanChatter launched its Stadium division in March 2008 when it teamed with Major League Baseball’s Minnesota Twins. The Qwest Twins Pics feature (sponsored by Qwest Communications) has since received and displayed mobile phone photos from over 7,200 unique fans through 69 straight Twins home games and counting.

“After proving what we could do with the Twins, it is now an honor to help grow the game day tradition in one of college football’s true capitol cities,” said FanChatter co-founder Marty Wetherall. “And as we saw Saturday night, Sooner fans look as good on that hi-def videoboard as their team did in routing the (UT-Chattanooga) Mocs!”

The McDonald’s Sooner Football I’m Lovin’ It feature invites fans to show how much they’re “lovin’” the Sooners during the game by texting or emailing photos from their phone to a custom address. Every fan that sends a photo receives an instant text message reply thanking them for their submission and alerting them to special deals on McDonald’s menu items.

Select photos are then displayed on the videoboard before the start of the 4th quarter and all approved photos are forwarded to a McDonald’s branded gallery website where they can be seen and shared with friends. The feature’s reply message and branded gallery components offer added messaging platforms to advertisers while also enhancing the fans’ experience between games.

“FanChatter’s Scoreboard Photo Sharing segment has been wildly popular and generates thousands of photos from our fans’ cell phones and PDA’s,” said Andy Price, Director of Game Presentation and Broadcasting for the Minnesota Twins. “But what really brings this element full circle is the ability to post every photo, not just those that get selected for the videoboard in our finite time frame, into an internet scrapbook that commemorates each Twins home game.”

Fueled by its deals with Oklahoma and the Twins, FanChatter plans to market its services to other teams, events, and sponsors throughout the country while continuing to innovate in the area of mobile fan connectivity. “Every fan in the country should be able to see themselves on the scoreboard,” said Wetherall. “And that’s just the beginning of what’s possible when you tap into the potential of fans and their phones.”

For a full description of the growing FanChatter Stadium technology offering, including video of the Scoreboard Photo Sharing feature in action, visit http://fanchatter.com/stadium .
