Venues

Kelly captured Molly walking down the isle and Matt’s first glance, which you can see is subtle but so powerful! (More sneak peaks for you Molly later….)

Mountain View Grand: Molly + Matt from meg simone on Vimeo.

Molly and Matt escaped the threatening showers to have their wedding ceremony outside in the Grand Fountain Terrace at the Mountain View Grand, on June 28th. The coverage was provided by associates Chris + Kelly, and I was so excited to finally start working on such a unique celebration. In the next few days I will post more clips. The bridesmaids all had different dresses, color and style, and groomsmen ties and boutonnieres to match. Molly looked stunning…wait until you see her walk down the isle…. stay tuned!

Hi Meg!
In Steve’s words you “lit it up!”.  I’ve already watched it a couple of times …amazing!! The whole beginning is so fun to see all the things we didn’t see ourselves- and all your scenery shots and everything are just perfect. You truly captured our entire day and all the people involved - you can feel the love in the air with everyone that was there!  It is so so fun.  We were so lucky to have found you and you have done an incredible job on this video.  You brought all the emotion, laughter, fun, smiles, and few tears into this video.  We couldn’t be more happy to have this now for the rest of our lives!

Thank you thank you!
Best,
Lani + Steve
 

I want to thank Samantha Warren Weddings for allowing me to share in this special day with Lani + Steve. Click on the link above to see photos from their wedding on Sam’s Blog. Sam you made a guest appearance in the video :) 

Hi Meg-
I know that most (probably all) of your exchanges regarding our wedding have been with Lani and I wanted to weigh in with my appreciation of your work before too much time passed. Viewing the proof that you sent us left me speechless on more than one occasion. Not only was I choked up by reliving our wedding day and the emotions that came with that experience, I found myself at a loss for words because of your artistry and the passion that is evident in your work. The way in which you portrayed every aspect of our wedding day while tying in the challenging circumstances leading to my father’s unfortunate absence is incredible; I look forward to sharing the DVD you have created with my father when we visit him in Toronto. While I cannot speak for him, I do believe that you have done a great deal to make him feel as though he was just as much a part of our special day as were all of those in attendance. Thank you, thank you, thank you.
Cheers,
Steve

It’s a start… I’ve been swamped and trying to edit and get proof DVD’s out. Jill + Ryans will finally go out in the mail this week Congratulations! What an amazing celebration 5/17/08! More quick clips to follow…here is a 5 second teaser that sums up how I felt!

I don’t even know where to start with blogging on my sisters wedding from this past weekend! I’m so overjoyed I’m going to procrastinate on positing about it!

I recently got an email from past client Hidee & Gil who were married 4.17.07 at the Sunset Hill House, Sugar Hill, NH so it jogged my memory and I thought I would do a quick inside peak at how they had their dining room set up. (Keep in mind I now film in HD and widescreen.)

I’m off! It’s my sisters wedding weekend! Destination Castle in the Clouds! This photo below was them last year at John’s twin sisters wedding, I coin this “Your Turn”, I can’t believe it’s here! YIKES! I don’t even have my speech prepared! I talked with videographer Chris Proulx today who will be filming the event (some of you may have already had him at your wedding and some will be meeting him soon as he is filming quite a few this summer for & with me) Chris is great, and even though I kept saying “Don’t worry I’ll be there to help and will have all my back up cameras” he was adamant that I do NOT pick up any camera at the wedding! It’s tough when you are in the biz to be hands off! Lets see how I do… but more importantly lets have fun! I’ll  be back to the studio on Monday answering emails. I get to pick up the cupcakes for the rehearsal dinner from Sugarmaker Bakery on the way down… not good, they may not ALL make it  :)

I got the text message… the word is out I’m so excited that Sonja + Scott allowed me to share in their day (and their cake) as it was just the two of them…. both in the Military, they had never been to Jackson The staff at the Inn at Ellis River helped with details, and provided a wonderful sanctuary on the river for them to enjoy.

The ceremony was at Jackson Falls and they went to dinner at the Thompson House Eatery that night. We met the next day for photos and I felt so bad because Scott had an outfit all planned out and apparently there was a leaky Starbucks coffee cover that made a mess of his new button down shirt… so after the photo session they were heading back into town to purchase another Thank you both so much and I hope your plans for a spring celebration brings back fond memories when you see the video and photos of your time here in Jackson, NH.

**NOTE: I can do combo packages with video and photo and offer flat hourly rates for elopements.

I LOVE my job! I got to spend Tuesday and Wednesday with _____ + _____ as they wed in a private ceremony *just the two of them, the JP and I* at Jackson Falls. I am itching to post photos, but possibly in a few weeks when family and friends have been notified. If anyone is considering an elopement in Jackson please give a jingle! I feel so honored to have been a part of this landmark day for them.  It’s so wild and spontaneous, yet romantic, private and special, that they let us (local Jacksonites) into their life for these few days to help make their experience a good one (they had never even been to Jackson, or NH!!). I hope we did a good job

They stayed at the Inn at Ellis River, and the staff helped with everything from picking up the Cake (yes, they had one, and even offered us all a piece! My favorite from Riverstones, Strawberry Grand Marnier!) to putting the dress on (since you would normally be alone). Thank you so much _____ + _____ and enjoy driving up Mt. Washington on your way home

The Rocks in picturesque Bethlehem, New Hampshire, was where Dave and I went Friday night to present Amanda+Ryans Rehearsal Dinner video. They did a great job choosing the music, as many were definitely teary eyed

I will be posting more on their celebration soon…. today is OPEN HOUSE day and although my studio is NO where near done, we wanted people to come by and learn about Non-Toxic alternatives and sustainable building practices… check out: 19RidgeRoad.blogspot.com
