Jamey & Lolyann’s Wedding

Saturday, February 23rd, 2008

SunsetBy the River I’m very partial to fall weddings because that is when Jack and I got married. I love the leaves, and the cold smell in the air!

With Jamey & Lolyann, we got some wonderful footage of them overlooking the city. We went by the river to toast their marriage and get a photo op. They were such a fun couple to work with! Lolyann looked absolutely stunning in her dress and Jamey of course was a handsome Groom! He’s also a very animated, fun-loving guy, so his footage was fun to work with. His dad’s speech was priceless - among many other stingers, one of his best was when he said “don’t ever say Lolyann can’t take a joke, because she took you!” I see where Jamey gets his sense of humor!

Celebrating Valentine’s with Chocolate!

Saturday, February 16th, 2008

Amazing performances as usual! We just finished filming Out on a Limb’s newest performance of Willy Wonka’s Chocolate Factory and it was wonderful! The kids and I were able to watch the show last night while Jack videotaped for a “rehearsal”. We will both be filming today’s performance which will most likely be the one we use for the final dvd’s. Going to two performances gives us the opportunity to know where the dancers enter/exit to get tighter shots on the final.

Aidan had a rough time during the second half so I had to take him out for a while. It was sad that I missed a few scenes, but we got back just in time to see our own Allie (playing Veruca Salt) get tossed out as a “bad egg”. AWESOME!

Filming for OOAL is definately one of our favorite things to do every year - we can’t wait to see what Kim and the crew cook up next!!! Kim, Jack said something about a movie? Keep us posted!

Ronna and Andy’s Wedding

Friday, February 15th, 2008

I just shipped out Andy and Ronna’s wedding dvd’s. Everything for this wedding went so perfect! They had us come early to videotape the moment when they saw eachother for the first time. It was so romantic - I almost felt that we shouldn’t be witnessing it… we had a camera on Ronna as she gracefully walked toward Andy. There was a second camera on Andy, and the smile on his face when he turned to see her was priceless. They were filled with laughter, tears and love - just the way we like it!

It was a snowy day, and they braved the cold for a photo op. I’m sure their photos were great, but the video was spectacular! It was barely snowing and they kissed under the gazebo - with the slow motion of the snow and kiss it was absolutely beautiful. What a lucky shot!

We got the chance to work with Peter Danio again, and as always he was so nice to work with. It’s always wonderful to be in sync with the photographer so that both the video and photos turn out amazing for the Bride and Groom.
