Happy Birthday America!

Friday, July 4th, 2008

We just wanted to wish everyone a very festive (and safe) holiday weekend. Thanks to all of our troops here at home and abroad!

It’s the Buccaneers Fan Fest 2008!

Saturday, June 14th, 2008

Today was a nice day to get out with the family and help show our support for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. If you’ve never been - make sure to set aside some time next June!

There were TONS of activities for all of the little ones, as well as opportunities to go to autograph sessions with all of the players, coaches and cheerleaders.

Shortly, we’ll set up a photo gallery of some more pictures of the event - so stay tuned!

Tuesday, May 6th, 2008

Well… after much tinkering around in the ol’ digital workshed, we’ve finally moved forward and replaced our site with something a bit more modern. While it will be a work in progress, we’d love to hear from you regarding any features and suggestions you might have. After all, we’re here for YOU!

One Ocean Studios

Some notable improvements thus far include: Flash based photo galleries; More photos in all of the galleries (it’s been a busy year for us and it shows!); and improvements to the layout and structure

We’ll likely be updating content a bit more regularly and continue to put the polish on the new site as time goes by…

Thanks for checking us out and feel free to e-mail us with any questions or comments!

IT’S A GIRL!!

Thursday, September 6th, 2007

We are pleased and blessed to announce that on September 6th at 5:01pm, Alexandra (Lexi) Michelle was born! She came into the world weighing all of 6 lbs, 9oz and had a full head of hair.

Mom and baby are doing great… and getting some much needed rest.

What a precious gift!

Something “Special” at The Vinoy Today…

Sunday, June 3rd, 2007

Unless you’ve been living under a rock, you would have known that this weekend marked the “Taste of Pinellas” festival. This year featured musical headliners such as Peter Frampton (update: Frampton got rained out… bummer!), Ziggy Marley and the Neville brothers, and southern rock SUPER STARS 38 Special closed us out on Sunday night.

Hopefully many of you had a chance to get out to this free event (there were tons of things to do for the kiddies) and at the same time help raise some money for the All Children’s Hospital by sampling fare from some of the best area restaurants. If you *did* miss this event… make sure to get it on your calendar for next year!

Wild Eyed Southern Boys Don and Donnie do their thing!

We’re off to Romania!

Saturday, April 7th, 2007

Hi there everyone! Well… we’re here in beautiful Romania (my home country) to cover a wedding for a wealthy Gypsy family. As most of you know, we typically share a picture or two from all of our weddings but we’re not able to do that in this case. You see, they tend to be very private so sharing images of their family/clan is pretty much verboten… and we definitely respect that.

So instead, here are a few images we captured during a visit to a small village just outside Bucharest - most everyone here has a small farm that helps sustain them. Here’s a bit of trivia in case you didn’t know: the village scenes in the hit movie Borat were actually filmed in a similar village in Romania (and not Kazahkstan as you would believe) called Morieni.

Without further ado, here are a couple of pictures:

Arrrgh! It’s the Renaissance Fest!

Saturday, March 24th, 2007

What does “Arrrgh” have to do with the Renaissance Fest you ask? Well, for starters, this weekend is the Pirate Theme for the annual event, that’s what! =)

It was nice to unwind and just enjoy the festival without the daily rush and hurry. This year it truly seemed like there was something for the entire family… good food, lots to see and do (jousting tournament anyone?) and of course plenty of ale to go around (if you happen to fancy ale, that is).

So if you unfortunately missed the Festivus… we hear pray tell that it’ll be going on next year this time as well! Who knew the back lots at MOSI were so spacious and could accomodate everything?

And for proof that there was something for everyone:

Big bad and mean!
