WOW... talk about an aweome engagement...

I frequently visit the Bakerella.com blog for awesome ideas (not that I can seriously pull these ideas off... but I have made the Cake Pops successfully). Anyway, today after the Steeler Game, I decided to peak and see if there were any updates. Check this out folks... and stick with it till the end!

Wedding Cake Pops

My guess is... Mel is a frequent reader of this blog (and/or close friend)... what an awesome engagement story... I just hope she posts an update complete with pics!

Just thought I'd share... it made me smile!

The Ultimate Compliment

So... one of our past brides was celebrating their 2 year anniversary this past week, as her mother pointed out on FaceBook. Christy and Chris. This couple was absolutely... well FANTASTIC! We had a great time with them that day, and have seen them a few times since then at their friend's weddings. So, I wished them well on FaceBook early in the day, and came back in the evening to this comment:
Wow... this, folks, is why we do what we do. They took the time out on their actual anniversary, after a nice dinner complete with wine testing and flowers (good job Chris), to watch the DVD that we created to capture their memories on their wedding day! Thank again for everything Chris and Christy... wishing you MANY MANY more happy years... and I think your mom mentioned something about grandkids Christy! ;)

Ryan and Rachael - September 19, 2009

On this beautiful day in the fall, Ryan and Rachael were married at Duquesne University Chapel. We were actually hired by Rachael's sister, who's wedding we filmed back in April. Rochelle and Steve decided that after they saw their video, Rachel and Ryan HAD to have a video to remember their day (view their review and trailer here)!

We met up with them first at the Omni William Penn for their preparations, and then headed up to the chapel. The wedding ceremony was beautiful... this is one of my favorite churches for some reason (maybe its the fight we always have to have with the "guards" to park on campus... lol... the lady this day was a sucker). They were hitched... and for the first time ever, I left for the day! A life long friend of mine was getting married across town, so I left the rest of the day up to Katy!

They did a photo shoot around the church, and then headed to South Hills Country Club (again one of our favorite places) for the reception. Katy did an awesome job covering the details and events at the reception. When I started editing, I almost felt like I was there! Thanks Katy for all your hard work, and CONGRATULATIONS to Rachael and Ryan!!!

Ryan and Rachael... getting ready for their big day!

Steve & Debra - September 18, 2009

About 2 weeks prior to the wedding of Steve and Debra, we were contacted by Simone from 5 Senses Events. This couple did not initially plan or budget for a videographer, but Debra's father had fallen ill and wasn't going to be able to attend the wedding. Typically when we have a Saturday wedding booked, we hesitate to accept one on Friday, but this was an exception. My heart went out to this couple... what amazing people they are and it was wonderful to be there on their special day to witness the love and support from their friends and family. I continue to pray for Debra's father that he may, one day soon, be able to watch the video of their wedding and celebrate the coming together of these two beautiful people.

OK, I wiped the tears, and now I'll tell you a little about it. This wedding had some of Pittsburgh's FINEST! Simone, from 5 Senses Events, Jeremy, from Jeremy Ganss Productions, April, from Mocha Rose floral, and Mike Purvis, of Purvis Photography... wow, what a knock out crew! Both the ceremony and reception was at the Circuit Center on the South Side. What a great place for a wedding. I had a great time working with Debra and Steve and all of their vendors. The only thing not absolutely perfect for me, was that I had to leave so early! I wish you both the best in your marriage... many blessings to you!
