NOT ME! My sister… I will be back in the Studio on Monday
Just a little sneak peak… I was LOL at the “That Guy” card game…ahhh she doesn’t know what’s coming her way!

Congratulations my cousin Francesca Simone! She will be going to the Miss America Pageant in 2009! Fran is getting her Masters and studying vocal performance at the Boston Conservatory.  

She won the talent portion of the evening, won the Miss America Academic Scholarship, and an array of other scholarships she can use now and in future degree programs!

Fran has a HUGE year coming up, this goes so much further beyond the crown and title. She has a lot of work coming up both in the schools, for her platform, Alzheimer’s Awareness and to many other causes.

We are so proud of you! Wish we could have been there!

I’ve been editing the Sharp-Cornwell Wedding at Church Landing 4/26/08. Andrew can be seen tending bar at most other weddings so he may be a familiar face to those who have attended a wedding there. They had a all-star line up of vendors, and since most of them know Andrew, I will try to feature a photo or video clip of them here in coming weeks.

Congrats to Steph and Andrew!

I met today with my June 21st wedding couple for the Mt. Washington Hotel and LOVE love LOVE their wedding invitation made locally in Berlin. Stay tuned for posts on who created them! I’ll be at the Hotel on May 17th for a wedding as well.
Here are some clips from weddings past specifically at the resort.

Archive Clip of the Month II

I started doing an “archive clip of the month” last month… going back to the vault! In this short clip potential clients will see how important it will be in another 25, 50+ years when your kids, kids, and extended family are cozying up to the fireplace and flat screen to watch memories of days gone by. It’s an investment…but worth it

Relive the moment…share your story!

Christo-Brennan Wedding: Beat It! from meg simone on Vimeo.

March 8, 2008 at Church Landing. The Christo-Brennan wedding was off the hook! This is just a sample clip - the audio may not be in sync. (Update, the audio is NOT in sync) Trying to work out glitches as I’m trying a new web video clip host so I can blog in High Def. Just FYI the file is large, so let it load for a bit before viewing. Thanks for your patience!

SMALL WORLD! I have to share this story! I filmed Steph and Andrew Cornwell’s wedding this past weekend at Church Landing and a gentleman came up to me… “are you Meg Simone? …  I had a crush on your mother in grade school!”…. WOW… here are the “small world details” he just emailed me. I edited for some clarity.

“Long before I went to school with Jenny Swisher (Megs mom), my mother Grace Johnson went to Salem State Teachers College with two close friends, Becky Patten (Megs Grandmother) and Christine Yagian. My mother graduated in 1936, and I believe the other two were the same year or a close one.

When I moved from Newburyport to Newbury in 1953 I entered a fourth grade class that included your mother (Megs Mom).  In grades 7 and 8 her mother (Megs Grandmother) taught us English and Social Studies and another teacher handled math and science.

My sister (two years older) kept in touch with Bill and Becky (Megs Grandparents) until she lost track of them. (They both passed, my grandmother a year ago TODAY)  In May 2006 she received your letter to the names found in your grandmother’s address book (alerting them of her passing), and was quite pleased to have been on the list. It was a thoughtful and kind thing for you to have done.

My sister sent me a copy, and I noticed that your email address was at a domain named after you, and I checked out your website. Since my niece Stephanie had announced that she and Andrew were going to be married, I sent her a note to suggest a possible videographer if they had not yet selected one. So we show up and there you are, and I had to drop that line on you.

Give your mother my regards and best wishes.

I should have put this notice up last week as I’ve obviously been away from the blog. We are busy moving and setting up the new studio. Next week I will hopefully be posting clips from the Christo-Brennen wedding, and we head back to Church Landing Tomorrow for the Sharp-Cornwell wedding. Andrew is one of the Bar Tenders at CL and Jamie Christo sends high praise on his skill from her 3/8/08 wedding with over 30 that flew in from Ireland, you know Andrew was busy behind that bar!

See you all soon!
