Gone Baby, Gone!

Hey! Just another reminder that this blog is gone…along with the name!!

The new blog is www.chadfranz.net…and don’t forget to change your bookmarks and rss stuff! Thanks!!

Alert, Alert! Blog moving!

Hey everyone!

This blog will be moving very shortly so I thought I might as well just do it now before something happens and I don’t have the chance to warn ya!

Because of some hosting issues in the past, I’ve been wanting to switch my blog to a different host so that if my host is “having a moment” then it wont bring both my main site and blog down.

I’ve also been wanting to change my business name since ummm….oh, about day one. I’m getting rid of the Eclipse Photography name and that stupid hyphen in the web address! Soon, you’ll be able to find my main site at chadfranz.com and my blog at chadfranz.net. And since I’m afraid the switch wont be as smooth as I would like, let’s just do the blog switch now! So, please update your bookmarks for my blog to www.chadfranz.net. And while you’re at it…just set chadfranz.net to your browser’s start page and rip your mouse out of your computer!

Hopefully, a few website redirects and some behind the scenes adjustments will help make the switch easier but hey, you never know!

I also wanted to thank everyone for their support, trust and belief in me during these first two years I’ve been in business…it means so much to me! I seriously dig all of you!

John & Laura

Laura is one of the sweetest, “wouldn’t hurt a flea” kinda people I have ever met but, I have a feeling that if I don’t get this post up soon, she’s going to rip me limb from limb! :) John and Laura were married at St. Malachy Catholic Church in Brownsburg and through their reception at The Country Club of Indianapolis. It was such a pretty day…just a few raindrops during the ceremony and then beautiful again! And getting to start the day on the golf course…NICE! Ok…enough chatter…let’s roll…

Now this is the way to start the day!

Jake & Lisa

Wow!! Another fun one…I love my job! A few weeks ago, I traveled to Muncie to spend the day with Jake and Lisa. They were married at First Baptist Church in Muncie and partied the night away at the beautiful Horizon Convention Center. Liz, the Sales and Events Cordinator at the Horizon Center, was actually a bridesmaid at Eamonn and Sarah’s wedding! If you’re looking for a reception location in Muncie, give her a buzz…she sooooooo rocks! :) The Souled Out Band rocked the reception and pulled Jake up to help them belt out the last song…man, it was so awesome! Lisa and Jake were just so easy-going and fun to work with…check out the shots below!
