Danielle & Augustus

were married at St. Joseph's Church in Downtown Detroit and had their reception at the Detroit Athletic Club. The day was sunny and windy which made shooting outside a little challenging but we were able to get some great shoots in the alley. Jessica Johnston and Nathan were the photographers of the day and we had a great time working with them. I'll post some of Jessica's pics below once they are available.

While creating this trailer I had two songs in mind...one was fast and the other slow. I couldn't make up my mind which one to use so a made two trailers. Have a look and tell me which one you like better in the comment section.


HERE IS THE SLOW ONE











HERE IS THE FAST ONE

November 8, 1991 was the Best Day Ever

Why? Because that was the day I married Joanne. Yesterday was our 16th wedding anniversary. We dated for 6 years before getting married so that is a total of 22 years being with each other. Do you know what’s cool, after all these years I still get excited seeing her every day just like when we were dating. Yes I'm a blessed man. Yesterday we went to our favorite restaurant, The Tribute, to celebrate.


I have shown numerous wedding videos on the web but this one is special. Its mine! This is from a VHS tape so the quality is not too good. Digital video was not around in 1991. My kids love watching it! To me and my family this video is priceless! Now don’t laugh too hard when you watch it.

I Love You Joanne!!!

Emerald City Designs

We were invited to the Grand Opening of Emerald City Designs new location yesterday. One word...WOW!!! That place was amazing! The show room was packed with beautiful table setups and the offices were really cool. David Mcknight is a great designer. I've done many events where David and his crew decorated the reception hall and they never fail to impress me with their creativity.

At the party we ran into Cheridy from Arising Images. She is expecting in 3 weeks and we are praying for her and her soon to come baby.

Here are some pics:

Cheridy and her belly :)

New Orleans meeting

I met up with some of the best wedding film makers in the world in New Orleans for three days. Not only did I have a good time partying with those guys but we had 2 long days of discussions on what we can do to better the wedding video industry. More to come on this in 2008.

Mona in Flash

I've posted this before in windows media format but I think it looks so much better in flash.
