BJ and Emily got married this past weekend – what a fun day!
When BJ’s brother was married 2 years ago, he and his bride did a wedding day music video (check out “If I Had A Million Dollars” on our website, www.OmahaWeddingVideo.com). BJ enjoyed it so much, that he and Emily elected to do one as well, to “Love Shack” by the B-52’s. Emily and I started the day at the salon, where we recorded a number of the lyrics, complete with bridesmaids singing into hairbrushes and hairspray cans. Our third camera-person, Keith, captured similar footage of the groom during his preparations (watch for the guitar hero scenes!). [Read more…]
Attended a lovely wedding this weekend in Logan, IA. The bride and groom had known each other – literally – since nursery school (I had a photo of them together in nursery school in their photo montage). After 5 years of dating, it was time to tie the knot! Their wedding was on a golf course, outside, overlooking a lovely lake. The weather was cooperative – clear skies, sunshine, not too hot – and the ceremony was beautiful. The DJ provided a sound system so that the vows, readings, and soloist could be heard well by all the guests. The bride’s aunt sang several songs during the ceremony, giving it a special personal touch. And the photographer had been friends with the bride’s mother since Kindergarten! Bandstand Music (Curtis) was the DJ for the evening, and he did a great job of keeping it hoppin’ on the dance floor. And – I have to say – probably the yummiest wedding cake I’d ever tasted – I am going to have to contact the bride and see who baked her cake – I’ll post it when I find out. All in all it was a great day – very friendly people, calm bride and groom, just a very pleasant day for us!
