After meeting with Courtney & Gary, I can’t wait for their wedding day on Sept 19. They are the winners of the
Dream Wedding contest from US Weekly magazine & WeddingChannel.com.
I was selected as the celebrity videographer for the event, and Courtney & Gary have an incredible story. They have been sharing their inspirational story of overcoming cancer & growing in love with TV shows all over Florida.
We created this short video of our visit together to whet your appetite for the wedding. I will certainly post the Wedding Day Highlights when they are completed.
Stay tuned!

I’m having a wonderful time working with the team at GetMarried.com as a “Star Blogger“.
I will be covering the latest trends & cool concepts in wedding videography.
One of our favorite approaches to wedding day storytelling is bringing a more glamorous, modern style to the video. Liliana & Kishin’s wedding in South Beach was a perfect opportunity to create something fresh & unique.
Wedding Videography has not been traditionally considered an “art form”, but this stereotype is breaking down as brides have the opportunity to view hip videos that reflect the style of their wedding day.
Check out this unique Highlights video from the wedding:

Our team had another fabulous year at the most prestigous international awards competition for wedding & event video production.
We were honored with TWO more Creative Excellence Awards. We have now been awarded a total of 26 awards, more than any other company in the country over the past 6 years.
Our newly-released “You Are A Story” video was one of our award winners.

I was asked by Lifetime Network’s television show “Get Married” to talk about one of my favorite weddings.
Although there were so many amazing events to choose from, I picked Erin & Drew’s wedding, which you can see at CVPweddings as ”Personal Storytelling”.

Howie & Leigh are lovely people, & it was a pleasure working with them on the event. Special thanks also go out to our good friend Heather Snively at Weddings Unique who planned an amazing wedding.
