From The Archives - "Il Bel Matrimonio Di Italiano"

Please, please feel free to correct my Italian.

Found this fun clip in the archives today and thought it was worth showing! I had the incredible opportunity to shoot this destination wedding in Southern Italy along with fotografo insano John Unrue. After the ceremony, Mary and Sean (bride and groom) walked across the street to the magistrate's office to sign the wedding register, and were presented with an honorary plate bearing their names. I thought this montage would look great shot in an 8mm film style. An unforgettable experience!

Mark Pennington and Joi Perkins


Mark Pennington is a picture-taker in the Jacksonville area. I'm not particularly fond of him, but I do really like his girlfriend Joi (I'm kidding -- Mark is a great friend and a heckuva' photographer). Recently shot a wedding with them in Ponte Vedre, and while shooting some fun stuff on the beach with the bride and groom, Joi took a tumble over a sand dune. I gallantly grabbed her by the arm, and, let's just admit it, I probably saved her life. Mark snapped these photos to commemorate Joi's balletic grace as well as my chivalrous gesture.

By the way, Mark and Joi are responsible for my head shots on my website too. Thanks!

Stuff? Nonsense?

I wasn't originally certain that I would maintain a blog. The majority of information about my wedding video services could be found on my website, so what could I possibly write on a blog? Ultimately I decided that I would simply write and post about what interests me. Music will certainly play a big part in that. Otherwise, I hope you'll forgive me if this ends up being thematically all over the map! Oh, and FYI, "Stuff and Nonsense" is the name of a song by an excellent band called Split Enz.
