Father's Day is approaching and I'd like to play homage to all of the wonderful Father's of the Bride I have had the great fortune to know throughout my career.
Here Meredith and her Father shared a touching moment during their Father/Daughter dance had everyone {including our team!} reduced to tears!
From the second evening of wedding festivities, I find myself looking at this image from Mark Pennington of Meredith and Justin Sand as they depart from their reception.
The end?? Alas, no...this is merely the beginning.
Tomorrow, we embark 3 days of execution and celebration after months of designing and planning.
Working with Meredith McGrath and Justin Sand {and mother, Alexis!} has been such a refreshing and inspiring perk to my everyday work lifestyle.
Playfully dubbed as my "anti-bride," Meredith has mostly trusted my interpretation of what she has explained to me her ideal wedding to be. NOT typical, no "fromage" {cheesy!} effortless, intimate at certain points {particularly the ceremony} and entirely fun.
With absolute certainty and resolve, I have the best of the best accompanying me this weekend to pull it all off while pulling out all the stops.
I think these fantastic images by Mark Pennington truly capture the essence of Meredith and Justin, both as a couple and as individuals.
I believe I have exercised the most restraint required of me for a while now.
When colleague and good friend Jeffrey Stoner let me in on his plans to launch a new website and, even worse, show me a new demo that I couldn't share...well that was just frustrating!
Happily and with pride, I offer you a peek into just a snippet of what can be found on his new website. The new enhancement, albeit overhaul, is completely reflective of Jeffrey's personality and sensibilities. (Be sure to look at his bio where he lists interesting things about himself.)
The new head shots as well are right on! We consider Mark PenningtonJeffrey's long lost twin, and there was no better photographer suited for the job of capturing the "real Jeffrey"
Thanks to Jeffrey's tutorial on how to post video to my blog, I present you an intense, creative highlight clip that can be seen on his website from a wedding we were lucky enough to work together on this past November.
Congratulations, my friend!! Though I realize you are never "satisfied" and always agonizing on how to do/offer more, better, faster...
I think this is pretty darn perfect.

Ladies and Gentlemen: Please meet my friend Jeffrey...
