Please Share Photos & Videos!
While we await the professional photographer's work, many of you took personal photos of the celebration with your phones and have reached out to us in the last 3 weeks wondering, "Where can I send my photos and videos to?"
ANSWER: We created a Google Photo Album, "JM50 | July 31st, 2022: Janie and Mario DeCastris's 50th Surprise Celebration)" .
Freely upload your phone photos and videos. It's a public sharable files album. Anyone with a link to the album can view it, or add photos/videos to the album. See screenshot below of the photo album's public landing page, and the "Add Photos" icon we've highlighted with a red arrow to assist you.
If you have problems, contact us via email at [email protected]. We'll be in touch again early Autumn to showcase the photographer's work of the celebration.
Thank you!
P.S.: My parents are still in shock that everyone pulled this off to surprise them— a testament to each of you.
