Tonight the masses came out to kick off the 74th season at Black Mountain in quaint Jackson, NH. Charlene Sullivan of Symmetry Yoga, our local Snow Goddess lured in the crowd for the most powerful snow dance I’ve personally ever witnessed!  EMS and Joe Jones were there with gear and how can I not mention the Chili Cookoff! This was the first I’ve ever been to (I always wanted to go to one) and I have to say my personal favorite was the vegetarian chili which was served over a dab of polenta from the Inn at Thorn Hill… but the overall winner of the night was the Gulten Free Chili from Raffertys Pub in North Conway. Other participating vendors Whitney’s Inn & Shovel Handle Pub (I think they were also having a wedding tonight - lots of activity over there!), Pear Mountain Cafe, J-Town Deli, The Eagle Mountain House, and Black Mountain’s own. Awesome live music by Monkey Fist Incident from Sandown, NH. I would highly recommend them for other events, parties, etc…

I decided to enter a local photo contest as the photos were going to be used in calendars to benefit Starting Point, services for victims of domestic and sexual violence. The theme was “no place like home” so I entered a photo I snapped back in the summer of 2006 when we were having one of our last hoorah’s on Conway Lake before Dave’s dads house sold. I snagged 3rd place and got “August” which is also my b-day month. It was just great to give a photo to the calendar cause. Hopefully they will sell a lot for holiday gifts at the Framed Art Outlet (where the contest awards took place).

Thanks to Ever After Videos I got some inspiration to post an archive clip of the month fitting for Halloween… Josh and Lara’s true 80’s theme wedding. Yes, they got married in traditional attire, but as soon as that ceremony was over it was Tuxedo T-shirts and Jelly Shoes, Rat Tails, Mullets and Big Hair. I was there as a guest, so I didn’t have as much footage of the entire day but did edit a video together for them, this is just a snippet of the early cocktail hour. (The video is from a few years back and also NOT shot in HD, obviously)

Molly and Matt Celebrated with an amazing theme wedding at the Mountain View Grand in June!

Hi Meg,

I was just thinking of you! I was in New York over the weekend, showing off the wedding video, and everyone was so impressed with it. My friend Christina said she felt like she was watching a Hollywood movie. Every time I watch the video, I am thrilled again with what an amazing job you did. I think I could watch it at least once a day every day!

Thanks again,
Molly (Oct 22, 2008)

Hi Meg,
Last night Matt and I were finally able to sit down and watch the wedding dvd, and I can’t even tell you how thrilled we are with everything. We loved every second of it - from start to finish. It’s so great to be able to relive the day after the fact. There were so many things that Matt and I didn’t even see because we were so overwhelmed with everything going on.

The only thing that we said we would change would be if the dvd could be even longer, because we enjoyed watching it so much. I couldn’t ask for anything better.

Thank you so much, and we’ll talk soon!

Jess and Dave were married at the Mount Washington Resort on 6/28/08. Here is a sneak peak at their wedding video open. I think the songs they chose combined with the footage made this a very powerful open, listen to Jess’ sound bites in the beginning
