Katie and Dave – Kansas City Wedding – short film

Yes, I smiled through this edit! So fun, so beautiful, and SO FUN! The chemistry these two have is amazing – just watch how he looks at her and how she smiles at him – pure heaven! These guys LOVE their music and it was hilarious to see the LIST they sent for me to edit with. I’ve got lots of new tracks to work with for future films now too! It is clear these two have spent some time belting out some tunes together and with friends – check out those high kicks too! So many personal details in this wedding, from the cake with special memories, the tribute to their beloved dogs, to the joy seen on everyone’s faces as Katie and Dave enjoy singing and dancing to their rockin band, it was purely a night of celebrating Katie and Dave and their new life together. Thank you guys for letting me be a part of it! Can’t wait for sister #3 next summer!

don’t forget to let this video load all the way before watching – it will play MUCH smoother that way!

Dani & Jordan – Sneak Peek

This was a special one – well all my weddings are special, but this one was kind of extra special, because the gift from Dani’s Uncles was ME! Well, my video really. What an incredible honor and gift! Dani’s uncle Craig is a dear friend of mine and the man responsible for MANY of the beautiful flowers you see in the weddings that I blog, not to mention the creator of every floral arrangement that I have ever brought to a bridal show in Kansas City! So Uncle Craig and his brother got together and surprised Dani and Jordan and their family with the gift of video to remember the wedding day sights, sounds and emotions in such a beautiful medium. So very sweet!

Dani and Jordan are parents to the sweet little boy Grant, who you will see in the video – they are an adorable family. I loved it when Grant hopped up to hand the ring pillow to his Mom and Dad after the ceremony started, and what a great little dancer he is! We had a beautiful summer day and my favorite combination, a simple small ceremony and big FUN party after. I live right down the street from Dani’s folks, so it was extra fun to see friends, neighbors and a couple of my former brides and grooms at the reception!

Thank you to all – and enjoy your sneak peek!

Betsy and Mike – Short film

Well, we are ending the second week of the kids at school and I am SO HAPPY to start my wedding film blogging again with this beautiful piece! You may recognize the sneak peek from my website – it has been featured there for a bit. The entire film is just stunning! I was so lucky to get to attend Betsy and Mike’s rehearsal dinner, so we were able to include so many heartfelt toasts from family from that night into the short film. It was especially great for me b/c I filmed Betsy’s sister’s wedding a few years ago, so it was like visiting with old friends again! You will see all my favorites down in the details – from flowers, to photographer – it was a great night! Thank You Betsy and Mike for letting me help you preserve such a special day! Don’t forget to let the whole thing load – it is long, and will play much better if you give it a few minutes before you start watching. enjoy!

Stop Motion – Prairie Elementary

Oh, this is just pure fun.

I really love getting to go up to my kids’ school and do special little projects for them – this was NO exception! We created this fun little informative piece to help parents figure out how to navigate the pick up and drop-off line before and after school. Thank you to all the Moms, big brother, and my sweet husband Sam for walking so slooooowly in the blistering heat last week, and thank you to all the great kids for piling in the little wagons! Enjoy our little PSA if you didn’t get a chance to see it at Back to School Night tonite!

So, the kids have been in school now for a week 1/2 and I am back at it full steam!  I have to say, it feels pretty good!  I have this rockin video to share with you, a fantastic wedding – working on an amazing wedding this week and a sneak peek too! Lots to see!

I am excited about this piece.  Mostly, because it is such a departure from my regular work and I had so much fun creating it! It is a nice mix of video and photos with an amazing energy that is truly part of the place! Since I have been spending so many mornings there I speak from experience.  And brides, grooms, new moms and dads – if you are looking for the most amazing way to get in shape this fall – you will have to check this place out – just awesome!
