Please take a few minutes to enjoy Ginger's photography -- she's far too modest to admit it herself, but I think she's tops!

90 Seconds in NYC
Post reception, it was our intention to head into Manhattan for some fun footage, but the weather had other plans for us! We all ended up soaking wet, but it was worth every New York minute.
Shot in a hand-held style befitting our (brief!) time in the city, here is 90 seconds in NYC with Jordan and Dom ...

"My Favorite Holiday Gift" with Maria Shafer
Maria enthusiastically raised her hand to volunteer for this video, which will be part of a pre-holiday blog series. I simply asked Maria to tell me about her favorite, or most memorable, holiday gift. Her sad story is something that could only happen to Maria.
If you have a fun or interesting story about your favorite holiday gift and want to tell me about it in this series, let me know and we'll set it up!
Please enjoy the first installment of this mini-series ... and then go shopping!

Q & A with Brandi Zrallack
Brandi Zrallack - Bridal Czar indeed! Watch the video below; you'll understand.
Because of her connetions to both Central Florida Bride magazine and The Perfect Wedding Guide, Brandi is one of those people that sometimes appear to be everywhere. She must be one of the busiest people I know!
And yet, she always has a great smile and great laugh (as evidenced below!) and I was so pleased when she offered -- yes, offered -- to be my next victim in my fun Q & A series! Just last week, I stormed into her office, set up the tripod and rolled tape. There was just as much laughing left on the "cutting room" floor!
Ladies and gentlemen, I hope you enjoy learning a bit more about my friend Brandi Zrallack!

Q & A with Tracy Marini
Tracy and I are nearly neighbors, living just 2 miles apart in East Orlando. Aside from being a seasoned professional on the job, I always appreciate her ability to keep things light and share laughs (big ones) through the wedding day.
As always, the idea behind these clips is almost a "hit and run" mentality -- low tech, maybe even "no" tech, no rehearsing or do-overs, camera on a tripod and off we go! The entire session takes less than 20 minutes. Hey, wedding professionals, I'm always looking for volunteers, so don't be shy!
Ladies and gentlemen, the one and only Tracy Marini ...

Music I Love -- The Damnwells
The Damnwells have released 2 outstanding CD's of melodic, wistful music that have the sound of pure Americana. They've garnered great reviews and expectations were high for their new release, "One Last Century", but they were dropped by their record label at the last minute.
In an effort to take control of their career, they are making their excellent new release available for free download. Yep, free! Zero dollars! It's music that I consider impossible to dislike and I hope everyone will take a listen to one of their older songs below -- "Golden Days" -- and then download the new CD. All they ask in return is that you share it with friends! That's fair, isn't it?
Hope you enjoy!

Lights ... Camera ... Color!
In addition to focusing on the foreground subjects, notice the warm and romantic background glow provided by the inspired use of multi-colored spot and LED lighting. Through creative lighting, your wedding design will spring to life, enhancing every nuance of your floral decor, cake design, and dance floor.
Nothing will bring out the eye-popping potential of your wedding video and photography in quite the same way as the creative use of background color!
