Maurice and Nina

Maurice and Nina had an interesting start to their wedding day. To top it all off....one of her bridesmaids got hit by a car!! Fortunately, she was not seriously hurt and there were not any broken bones. This did not dampen things, as Nina was excited to get ready at the Royal Park Hotel. As always, Royal Park Hotel is one of our favorite places to be at and working alongside with Janet is always a plus!! Once the ceremony was over, we went to downtown Rochester with Prem and Cheridy from Arising Images. They are always a blast to work with!! Congratulations Maurice and Nina....you guys were wonderful!!

Who am I

I had some free time to film some beautiful landscape while I was in Washington state last week to produce a promo video for a great photographer, David Beckstead. My whole family took the trip with me and the kids had a blast staying at David & Kassandra's house and playing with baby Asia. Pics to be posted later.

I am so Blessed with all the things that are going on. I cannot script a better life. But sometimes I do ask myself "who am I?"

Jennifer & Steven

Jennifer and Steven were such a fun couple. You could see the joy in their faces throughout the entire wedding day. Both had smiles on their faces that went from ear to ear. Jennifer looked beautiful in her Vera Wang gown. The reception event was held at Max. M. Fisher Music Center. We also met David Deutsch who was the photographer. Him and his crew were very nice to work with.

California Trip

Don and I haven't seen our kids for about 2 weeks as they have been vacationing in California with grandma and grandpa. We finally took some time off to join them in sunny California to celebrate my grandmother's 93 b-day (their great-grandma) in addition to Serena's and my dad's b-day.

Despite taking some time off, Don is still diligently editing....notice him working in the airport terminal and on the plane!!! I don't think I could ever get tired of the weather out in California. We crossed over the Bay Bridge to get to Walnut Creek where my grandma and aunt/uncle live. We spent some time walking around and shopping (very nice stores), the kids swam in the hotel pool, and of course we also visited Fisherman's Wharf in San Francisco. We came home for a short weekend to film a wedding and then we are off again to Washington.....more on that trip later. But no need to fear....we will be home soon again!!

Stacy & Austin

were married at Christ Church Cranbrook and had their reception at Pine Lake Country Club. The day started off with rain but it cleared up nicely. Both Stacy and Austin got ready at the Townsend Hotel. The event was coordinated by Carolyn from China Closet and we got to work again with one of our photographer friends, Ray Anthony. The reception was quite the party with the Larry King Orchestra playing and "Sparty" showing up for all the MSU fans.
