How it all started-
Amazingly, it all began many years ago first with the love of photography. Most always, we had the need to take pictures of scenery but also of family and friends as so to capture the moment and freeze it forever. It was the SLR 35 mm camera that was used, with a camera bag full of different lenses and special filters to make magic out of the photographs. And, of course slide film was the choice back then because it held such richness and the resulting slide-photos were easily shown on a wall or screen with a slide projector- those were the old fashioned slide shows.
Along the way there were times of creativity with the wedding business involving catering and floral designing and wedding planning. Of course there were lots of photos taken at those occasions.

And then came the wedding of the century- well we thought it was! We had the best photographer at our wedding! Not only did he take wonderful photos but he also changed our lives by giving us a DVD with our photos as a slide show complete with music (our favorite music that we had handed out at the wedding reception). This was many moons ago but even today we put this DVD into our DVD player and sit down to watch and listen and watch it at least once a month! And we haven't picked up our wedding album from the shelf for probably close to five years!
After the wedding came our first digital camera. Boy, it was hard to buy that first digital. We were die hard old fashioned SLR carriers (or so we thought). Now we can't do without our digital camera and they keep getting better and better.
The first problem we found with having a digital camera was how and where to store the photos. It was great that the computer designers were putting out high volume hard drives. Good thing- They must have seen this coming! So we started gathering all these photos from trips and weddings and family gatherings, etc. and okay they are in the computer but then what? Sure when people came over we'd say come and see our photos (they would of course say didn't you print them? of course not then we would have to get albums and who had the time) and they would gather around the computer- oh how cozy is that!? So we kept seeing the wedding video and we thought why not find a way to put our photos in slide shows like our wedding photographer did. So a hunt was on for great software. Many were tried and they were okay but just that- okay....Everyone would have the same slide shows...sounded boring to us....and being the artistic people we are and the perfectionists also we set out and finally found the perfect software and wow what a difference! We've got to tell you it was truly amazing what we were able to do with our photos. Our friends and relatives loved our DVD shows and we kept hearing you missed your calling, you should sell these to people, and Amazing was born. We began by making free shows for relatives and friends and when we said we were going into the business they made their orders gladly. And, now this is where we are today-Helping people take their prized digital photos, organizing them for them because people simply don't have time and then creating Awesome, Amazing Video DVD Shows and showing their photos with movement and choreographed music. We also take peoples paper photographs and scan them and make great shows or we can take older photographs and restore them or manipulate them (take someone out of the photo) and then put them in a show (or not). Mostly it is a labor of love as we usually do lots more hours of work than we should for the price we charge. Only because we get to know the people thru their photos and we feel like one of their family and as a family member we want our product for them to to be perfect. We also handle transferring old home movies (reel to reel or cartridge 8mm) or VHS to DVD and we also can edit your home films removing the bad parts and making chapters, scenes, titles so that it shows on your TV just as a movie you would buy at the store. And, don’t forget our photos to canvas service where we can take your photos and transfer them to canvas material and mount them museum style on wood (you don’t need a frame with these pictures!).
So, now that you’ve read about us why not check out our samples/demos and gather all those photos you’ve wanted to do something spectacular with and contact us!
