This is the third of three versions of the Moran-Picchio Wedding Video. This one has what we called the Movie Night Treatment. We went with a Silent Movie look for the beginning and a Super 8mm film look for the latter half.

This is the second of three versions of the Moran-Picchio Wedding Video. This one has what we called the Soft Treatment. It has a softer audio track and soft, gauzy treatment.

This is the first of three versions of the Moran-Picchio Wedding Video. This one has what we called the Sassy Treatment. It has a fairly crunchy audio track and punchy color treatment.

Vintage meets bold garden colors!  As I sit here and look through pages of wedding blogs, I am captured by the vintage beauty that this years trends are bringing us.  The beautiful dress with hints from the 20’s, 30’s, 40’s, 50’s, 60’s and 70’s with the added twist of the 2000’s.  There is something so elegant about each of those eras that for me give a sense of grace and and air of a princess.  As if that isn’t enough to make a statement, they are coupling it with vintage style decorating with a garden twist.  The colors this season seem to be all about the garden.  The back yard themes and bold and vibrant colors make for fairy tale settings of which even Disney would be jealous.  Here are some of the blogs that have been blowing my mind with their wonderfully savvy sense of the Vintage Garden!

James and Marisa, what a wonderful, spunky couple.  We had the privilege of spending an afternoon with them and sharing the story of how they met.  
James and Marisa this one is for you!

I am sure that as a bride you may already know that there are millions of choices that have to be made before the big day. This can be somewhat overwhelming, and your home may be starting to resemble the above image.  Sometimes its hard enough keeping your daily life organized let alone the entire planning of a wedding too. You are undoubtedly being bombarded with ad after ad of this product and that product to make your perfect dream wedding. This can become all consuming and the next thing you know you have no blank space left on your desk, couch, coffee table, kitchen table and sometimes even your bed. The rack cards,brochures, samples and magazines have mounded and grown like a fungus. There are ways to tackle it and to make it useful.

1. Take a deep breath. (do this several times depending on how bad the mound is)
2. Take charge of it and don’t let it take charge of you.
3. Start by sorting the information you have into piles by type, i.e. linens, photography etc. while going through the pile if you find something you know you wont use or don’t need….GET RID OF IT!!! If you keep it this will only add to your searching time when making your final decision.
4. Don’t be afraid to ask for help. Sometimes our friends or family know us better then we do when theres decisions to be made. Our efforts at times can be clouded by outside influences.
5. Above all remember, This is your wedding, this is your time to shine. It is supposed to be fun if your not having fun stop and reevaluate what is taking away from that.
