June 2008

I was in the League of New Hampshire Craftsmen and Earth & Fire Studio to pick up our locally made glass blown lights created by Philip Jacobs for our house and was talking with Karissa his wife about weddings…she said that just the other day a B+G were in choosing a potter & pottery they liked and wanted on their registry - I thought what an AWESOME idea. Now-a-days so many B+G’s are moving in “prior” to tying the knot that they already have a lot of those standard registry items. If you are looking to start a collection of heirloom pieces, or just want one or two pieces to represent your special occasion, give Karissa a call to talk about a registry and you can have your guests contribute too.

Bill Lee, of Bill Lee Photography and I did a dual photo/video shoot on Thursday at the North Conway Grand Hotel to capture events going on for “Rally in the Valley“. Bill does an amazing job both commercially and with weddings. Bill works both in North Conway, Portland, and Laguna Beach, CA. Thanks for the props Bill

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

Mo the Clown does weddings! This is great - Mo tracked me down and I am so glad because this would be a great addition to a ceremony or reception…especially one with KIDS!!  Mo actually does weddings too (JP)

Thanks Mo!

“I’ve done a lot of work in the MW Valley: Cranmore, Conway Scenic RR, Settler’s Green, the Chambers of Commerce various events. I get there early, balloon as many of the guests as possible, and continue ballooning after the ceremony.
      I am working with some magicians to add magic to the performances. Have the newlyweds disappear at the end of the party…”

I just finished tweaking their wedding video so it’s officially time to get the rank up on Beat It! I just re-formatted and added to YouTube! Jamie and the girls put on a great performance! Check it out and get our numbers up!

I was so excited to put together A+R’s welcome dinner video. As I was scanning the photos I noticed Ryan had signed the back of his Sr. Photo for Amanda… little did he know!!! I just think it was a fitting way to end the video, so we closed on that note. A+R did not date at all in HS or college, that’s why I think the note on the photo is even more special, because neither of them would have guessed!  Looking forward to presenting for their extended family and friends  

Hi Meg,
Hope you had fun at your sister’s bachelorette! So, about the proof… WE LOVE IT!! It’s so great. If this is any indication of how the actual wedding video process is going to go-we are psyched! We both cried the first few times we watched it (yes, we’ve watched it about 15 times now, a few times at home, multiple times with both of our parents…)
-Amanda

Meg,
I’ve got to admit, the video blew me away. The picture at the end put it over the top. Thanks for doing such a great job. Everyone has loved it. How many copies do we get (can we get)? Thanks again!! See you in a little over a week. 
-Ryan

Last minute elopement plans? Need a JP for your ceremony? Looking for sample ceremonies, vows or blessings? You must contact Kim the JP! Her site is a great and a helpful tool when planning And I LOVE her logo!

Well, we are back from Newport - a day in the sun, lots of laughs, and plenty of “those guys” we were in stiches! It was fun seeing all my sisters friends again and exploring night life with the girls and Newport locals. I think there were about 10 bachelorette parties going on in town that weekend, and a few weddings too.

In communicating with Jess C. upcomming bride at the Mount Washington Hotel,  she shared what her bachelorette party did a few weeks ago in Boston. I want to congratulate her and the girls who remain in first place! It looks like so much fun! Check out http://cashunt.com/

From the website:

“TEAM LEE ROY came, hunted and CONQUERED to FIRST PLACE!!

When we first met these two teams Team Lee Roy and The Bride and her Biddies we knew these girls were out to win! Both these teams were so competitive that they almost aced the CASHUNT which has never happened in the history of this game. Also they both set new high scores for the season b&hb had a score of 11,175 and team lee roy came in with 11,750 which set a new 
high score for the season and top seed for the championship. This game was a “n
ail biter” to the end and that is the esscence of what a CASHUNT is all about. Cheers!”

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!
