David Murray Weddings Journal: New Year's Eve

New Year's Eve atop Atlanta's fabulous new venue Ventanas on the helipad. Cynthia & Skip celebrate at midnight.

"What Are You Doing New Year's Eve"

When the bells all ring and the horns all blow
And the couples we know are fondly kissing.
Will I be with you or will I be among the missing?

Maybe it's much too early in the game
Ooh, but I thought I'd ask you just the same
What are you doing New Year's
New Year's eve?

Wonder whose arms will hold you good and tight
When it's exactly twelve o'clock that night
Welcoming in the New Year
New Year's eve

Maybe I'm crazy to suppose
I'd ever be the one you chose
Out of a thousand invitations
You received

Ooh, but in case I stand one little chance
Here comes the jackpot question in advance:
What are you doing New Year's
New Year's Eve?

The Murrays--Our Story

David and Linda spent years in the fast-track world of photojournalism and network news. David was named a Pulitzer Prize Finalist for his work in Haiti, and worked for many national publications including The New York Times, The Ft. Lauderdale News and Sun Sentinel and The Atlanta Journal and Constitution. Linda was a Peabody and Emmy award-winning foreign correspondent for ABC NEWS and CNN. After their son Ryan was born they moved to their beach house on the coast of Maine where they created David Murray Weddings. Five years ago they welcomed John to their studio as a principal photographer. Recently, David Murray Weddings expanded to include a studio in Atlanta, Georgia. Atlanta is second home to David and Linda as it is where they spent much of their careers. They now divide their time between Atlanta and New England. The couple that once covered wars together now spends time documenting the far more civilized social ritual of marriage.
