Before I begin the editing process, I like to get a little input from my clients as to the overall style and vibe they’re looking for in their video. Cassie and Robert’s instructions were, and I quote, “We want the video to capture the excitement and joy of our day, so that when our hair is white and our faces are wrinkled (more than they are now) we can watch the video and feel warm and fuzzy.”
Well, number one … what wrinkles now?
Number two, the wedding was so full of joy and laughter, it made my job way easy. So, to Cassie and Robert … thank you. And fifty years from now, as you’re watching your video, take a self-shot/facebook-style photo and send it to me. It would bring a smile to my wrinkly face to see your wrinkly faces and know there’s some warm and fuzzy stuff going on there. :)

What do you get when you combine Fantasy Frostings' cake and some Broke-Ass Bride? Broke-Ass Cake Collection but of course!
And what do you do when you have a launch such as this? Have a Kick Ass Cake Bash … duh!
Catch Dana (The Broke-Ass Bride herself), Hunter (The Fresh Hubby), Leslie Maynor (Fantasy Frostings queen) and Earl Anderson (Mr. Frostings) BRING. IT.
Enjoy!
For those amazing vendors that didn’t make my subliminal messaging in the video, here’s a list of those involved.
(in alpha order)
So, you’ve got your wedding planners and then you’ve got your uber wedding planners. Mary Dann-McNamee is most certainly one of the latter. If you don’t know who she is, take a minute to google her … but wait until after you’ve watched my video below, of course! ;-) After a quick search you’ll find her list of credits to be substantial.
The woman is busy … so how Mary found time to write a book, I have no idea … but she did. With the help of the bright and savvy Leila Khalil of Inspired PR, Mary collected her years of wedding and family planning experience and authored Wedding Wisdom.
Last week, Mary and Leila had their first L.A. book signing. And who was lucky enough to capture and create a mini picture show of the event … ? Me, me, me!
With the creative efforts of the following vendors, I can safely say, the book signing was a success. I love hanging with these industry creatives … I’d like to think I’ll pick up on some of their talents thru osmosis of some sort. ;)
Yes, I’ll readily admit it ... I get writers block … and I get it often. Many times it has to do with the fact that I don’t know what to write, that I don’t have enough material. ‘Tis not the case here …
Erin and Adam’s wedding: sweetest couple … smiles that lit up the room … the love they shared – tangible … the day – beautiful … lovely family (I’ll begin my adoption proceedings soon) … the photographers and vendors – so talented … clear skies when rain was expected … and lest we forget – sexy shoes. =)
What an amazing day it was. Take a gander.
