First Birthday

What an awesome opportunity this was! Erin from Erin Stoll Photography called me up and asked me to swing by and film her daughter's first birthday photo shoot with a piece of pink cake - how could I say no? I really enjoy working with Erin and Cari whenever I get the chance.. not to mention Livya is absolutely adorable and was one of the most animated one year olds I've ever seen! Her facial expressions make this video fantastic - definitely a MUST watch!! Teaser photos from Erin will be coming soon! :)

YWCA Shakin' Things Up

What a blast! Last Friday, the YWCA sponsored a fundraising event called Shakin' Things Up held at the Lied Center for Performing Arts. What a fun event! Five different bars participated in a martini contest, competing against each other. Each attendee gets one martini from each bar and then casts a vote at the end of the night for their favorite. This was the third annual YWCA Martini Event and was the most successful yet! Over 250 people went through the doors - almost 150 more than the previous year! We donated our music services to the event, and our DJ Kurtis was there playing some rocking music and keeping the party going. Special thanks to the bars that participated: Zens, Starlite, Docs, venue, and red9 - also, special thanks to Toberlin Photography for the use of these images below! We always love working with him and were excited to hear he was donating his services as well!

Jarod & Lindsey

It was SUCH a blast filming Jarod and Lindsey’s wedding, we couldn’t wait to share their fabulous day! We got to spend some time with Lindsey while we captured every detail of her getting ready. She was an absolutely stunning bride! They shared their vows at Saint Mark’s United Methodist Church and it couldn’t have been more perfect. Since Jarod is a big hunter, Lindsey surprised him with duck calls as they exited the church as Mr. and Mrs. After a stop at Grata, the bride and groom danced the night away at the Lincoln Station in the Haymarket. Congrats, Jarod and Lindsey on a beautiful marriage! It was a pleasure being apart of your special day!

Dan & Lisa - Monterey, CA

Oh my gosh.. what an amazing couple days this was! We were so blessed to have the opportunity to work with Dan & Lisa for their California wedding and also the talented Matt Elwood from Elwood Photography! We hit the airport and traveled to Monterey, CA over the weekend of January 30, 2010 to help capture all the memories of Dan & Lisa's special day. The wedding was at the Hyatt Regency Hotel, which was a little inland from the beach. The weather was perfectly gorgeous and the wedding went (almost:) without a hitch! Post wedding, we traveled to Lover's Point and took many photos on the cliff, rocks, and beach. The footage is stunning and I know Matt's photos are as well - be on the lookout for a few teasers of those! A big THANK YOU to Dan, Lisa, and both their families for being so welcoming and treating us like family - It was an amazing experience! The video highlight below is a bit longer than usual, since we will be showing it at their Lincoln reception. Enjoy! :)
